"All Good Things..." Line-by-Line

Picard: Disengage the tachyon pulse.

 

O'Bren: But we haven' finished the scan Sir.

 

Picard: I know that but it is imperative that you disengage the tachyon pulse immediately.

 

Data: Aye Sir. Disengaging.

 

(The tachyon pulse is stopped.)

Picard: Why isn’t the anomaly being affected?

 

O'Brien: Why would it be Sir?

 

(Back to the future.)
Picard: I’ve shut off the tachyon pulses in the other 2 time periods but it hasn’t changed the anomaly.

 

Data: It remains uneffected here as well Sir.

 

Crusher: What do we do?

 

La Forge: Well the only way to stop this thing is to repair the rupture at the focal point where time and anti-time are converging.

 

Riker: How do we do that?

 

Data: It would require taking the ship into the anomaly itself. Once inside we may be able to use the engines to create a static warp shell.

 

LaForge: Yeah Data that’s right, and the shell would act as an artificial subspace barrier separating time and anti-time.

 

Data: Collapsing the anomaly and restoring the normal flow of time but this would have to be done in the other time periods as well.

 

Picard: That could be a problem. The anomaly is so much larger in the other 2 time periods (The Past…) it may be dangerous to take the ship in.

 

O'Brien: Take the ship where Sir?

 

Geordi: Yeah, Data, that's right. And the shell would act as an artificial subspace barrier separating time and anti-time.

 

Picard: Into the anomaly chief. Lay in a course for the exact center and trandfer all available power to the shields.

 

Tasha: Sir, can you give us some explanation?

 

Picard: No, Lieutenant, I cannot.
