Greetings! We've recently concluded our "Cause and Effect Line-by-Line" thread over in the TNG forum! After each completed thread, I'm randomly picking someone who participated to choose the next episode we do. The lucky winner this time around was Vanyel! And Vanyel has chosen the two-part story of "The Maquis" as our next line-by-line adventure! For any unfamiliar with our "game," you are asked to post only a single line (defined as one character speaking without interruption by another character) per message. You can post as often as you like, but someone else must post a line in between your posts. As is our standard practice, we're doing these two episodes as a single thread. Our "rule" is that if the episode has a "To Be Continued..." on the end, it is done in a single thread, but if it's just an arc of related episodes, each episode is a separate thread. As before, at the conclusion of this thread, I will pick someone at random from among all the participants to choose the next episode we do. Enjoy!
Nefarious actions take place at the docking port of a Cardassian ship, then... [Ops] DAX: The Cardassian freighter Bok'Nor is requesting permission to depart Upper Pylon One in three minutes.
Kira: We have an incoming Bolian Freighter at coordinates 1-0-1 mark 3-8. Give the Bok'Nor a clear trajectory out of the traffic pattern.
Kira: Well, since I just have one lifetime, I have to be a little more particular about whom I go out with.
