We have a small hold, and we carry cargo. 44 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,596 - Valuable cargo. Now can anyone guess what it is? - Gold. 45 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,831 Right first time. Only it travels incognito. 46 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,754 We pretend it's fruit. Zerok's a natural source of gold. 47 00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:02,513 It's virtually mined out everywhere else, so Zerok's rich. 48 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,160 - Who buys it? - The Federation, lots of places. 49 00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:07,157 It's still used as standard currency 50 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,391 in fringe deals with planets that have no computer linkup. 51 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,479 All the gold going from Zerok to the Federation goes by Space Princess. 52 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,198 - I don't believe you. - Oh, you should. 53 00:06:16,280 --> 00:06:18,157 This is a pleasure cruiser. It's got no armour. 54 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,310 I told you, it's incognito. 55 00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:23,714 Listen, every so often they send up a highly-armed ship 56 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,553 with security written all over it, bristling with guards. 57 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,076 And every so often someone attacks it and gets killed, which is crazy. 58 00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:35,035 Because that ship's carrying fruit. We carry gold with hardly any guards. 59 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:40,275 - How do you know about this? - Me? Look at all this surveillance. 60 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,832 I'm a little more than a purser, you see.

It turns black. 86 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,151 And it's useless until it's reprocessed, and that can't happen 87 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,869 unless you know the computer code that was used on Zerok the day it was processed. 88 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,193 Zerok won't release that code until the gold is in the hands of the Federation. 89 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,352 So if we could steal it, what use is black gold to us? 90 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,474 - None whatsoever. - That is a snag. 91 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,589 But there is a way around it, pretty one. 92 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,912 - AVON: We are waiting, Keiller. - The mine on Zerok, it's underground. 93 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,276 - Like most mines. - And it's completely automated. 94 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,797 The processed gold is even taken to the spaceport by underground conveyor. 95 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,156 - So? - So, pretty one, we visit the mine 96 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,755 and we tamper with the processor. That way the gold stays okay. 97 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,317 When the gold's gone through, we readjust the processor 98 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,513 and it's like nothing had happened. The computer says it's black, nobody checks. 99 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,395 The gold is delivered here as normal. 100 00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:13,195 - And then we steal it. - That's right.
