John and Dione
Definition
A non-starter of a relationship (in
"The Last Enemy"),
represented by little more than some manipulation on
Dione's part,
countered later with some manipulation on
John Koenig's part.

Details
- Dione tries to wile John a little,
brushing her hand along John's arm, to
Helena's obvious irritation.
He is cold to Dione's attempt,
which appears to be nothing more than
coldly manipulative on her part.
- Later, though, it seems she does like him a little,
for despite rejecting his approach to
her ship,
she does show a little concern for his welfare.
- Unfortunately for her, the approach is a ruse on Koenig's part,
an attempt to destroy her ship so
Alpha will no longer be
the "little guy" in the middle of a pitched
battle between
two warring alien cultures.
The ruse works, and her ship is destroyed with her on board.
He seems sad but resolved about the necessity (see Quotes).
Quotes
- John (to Dione over a commlink):
"You have only yourself to blame."
- John (ditto, moments later, after she realizes her time is up):
"Good-bye, Dione."
