(Andromeda in Command. Comm beeps)
Dylan: Hunt here.
Virgil Vox: Captain Hunt.
Dylan: "Captain Hunt?" Haven't heard that in a long time.
Virgil Vox: What's time in a place like this? Or rank?
Dylan: Hey, you're the one that called me "Captain." So where are you, Virgil?
Virgil Vox: Here, there, everywhere. Nowhere my man.
Dylan: Do you ever not talk in puzzles?
Vigil Vox: Not yet.
Dylan: Well then puzzle me this? Why Beka? Why all of us here together but apart? (no response) Hmmph... so now I get the silent treatment. Look, you're the one that contacted me so what can I do for you? (still no response and he sighs) I'm going to bed.
Virgil Vox: Sleep tight.
Dylan: How about something smooth to take me there? (he walks off Command)
Virgil Vox: Already done. Virgil Vox back on your box. This ray of sunshine goes out to all of us who are castaway, like the late great crew of Andromeda Ascendant. (edit)
(Dylan & Rhade are monitoring Beka from the Maru)
Rhade: She hasn't moved for some time.
Dylan: She could be sleeping. (Rhade gives him a skeptical look) It is that time.
Rhade: Or she could be dying. (long pause)
Dylan: Let's go see if she's...sleeping.
Rhade: Sleeping. (scoffs) (edit)
(while looking for Beka inside Boyagen's Remembrance Wall)
Rhade: Now what?
Dylan: I don't know, but she'd close by. (leans on the wall behind him and falls through it) Whoa!
Rhade: How the hell does he do that? (edit)
Beka: You know I'm not your daughter.
Avineri: Trust goes beyond facts. (edit)
(to Avineri after he dies)
Beka: I came here for a prize...(sniffles)...and I found...(sings)...two suns shining in the sky, looking down on you and I. Like the suns I'll always be, here for you and you...(sniffles). (edit)

Mala Propina:

Beka's name Mala Propina must be a reference to the word "malapropism", which is the usually unintentionally humorous misuse or distortion of a word or phrase, or "malapropos", inappropriate. Also, "Mrs. Malaprop" was character noted for her misuse of words in R. B. Sheridan's comedy The Rivals. (edit)
Title:

Eschatology is defined as "a branch of theology concerned with the final events in the history of the world or of mankind". (edit)
