In the Space: 1999 episode, Guardian of Piri (1975), theGaurdian's servant (Catherine Schell) tries to entramce Cmdr Koenig into accepting the (so-called) 'perfect life' offered, and Koenig just sees stagnation - death. She says, 'you have not understood ...but, you will accept', almost word-for-word (and said with the same dead-eyed blankness which Professor Dr Kor-Kavo (Saraphina Joachim) - who's been taken by the Abyss - says to Harper and Dylan.
The title refers to the Spirit of the Abyss attacking the minds at the conference, which are the "machines" being used to win.
