If the author wanted to put that over then you may have had something like:
KAYNE: This man's got a limiter implant.
RENOR: Really? So what's he doing here?
KAYNE: Good question. It's one thing to accept that this is an experimental craft on a proving flight, but quite another to believe it's a test bed for limiter implants. These people aren't Federation! It's Blake and his rabble.
RENOR: Are you sure?
KAYNE: Of course I'm sure. Remember that story about one of the limiter test specimens escaping?
RENOR: You're saying this is the one who got away?
KAYNE: To right, you big bottomed bastard!
RENOR: (CONFUSED) What?
KAYNE: Are you a good witch or a bad witch?
RENOR: (MORE CONFUSED) Eh? Are you alright Professor?
KAYNE: (SWAYING FOR A SECOND) Sorry about that. Dropped out of character for a moment there.
Or possibly Terry Nation was trying to avoid putting in too much exposition.
