"Parallels" Line-by-Line

[Shuttlecraft]

WORF: Setting course for the fissure.

 

Riker: (over comm) Acknowledged.

The Shuttle is hit by weapons fire.

 

[Bridge]

WESLEY: Captain, the shuttlecraft is under attack.

 

Riker: The Bajorans again.

 

WESLEY: No, sir. It's one of the Enterprises. They're hailing us.

 

Riker: On screen.

 

RIKER [on viewscreen]: We won't go back. You don't know what it's like in our universe. The Federation's gone, the Borg is everywhere! We're one of the last ships left. Please, you've got to help us!

 

Riker: I'm sorry, there's no choice. If this works, everything will return-

 

RIKER [on viewscreen] No, we won't go back!

 

Wesley: Sir, they're firing on the shuttlecraft!

 

RIKER: Open fire. Try to disable them.

 

Borg Universe Enterprise fires a torpedo at Worf's Shuttle, while Commander Worf's Enterprise fires a Torpedo at the Borg Universe Enterprise, doing immediate Damage.

Wesley: Direct hit. Their Shields have collapsed. Their engine core is overloading.

After a moment, the Borg Universe Enterprise Vaporizes.

 

RIKER: What happened?

 

Wesley: It looked as though the vessel had already taken heavy damage. Their warp containment field must have been weak.

 

RIKER: Probably from fighting with the Borg.

 

Data: Captain, Worf is entering the fissure.

 

Back in the Shuttle...

Worf: Charging primary systems. Initiating inverse warp field.

The fissure emits light, and for a moment, there are a lot of Worfs in the shuttle, some in Red, others in Gold uniforms as a bright light overwhelms...

Worf awakens, in his Gold Lieutenants uniform, alone in the shuttle. Worf goes to the pilots seat, scanning his surroundings.

Worf: Worf to Enterprise.

 

Picard (OC): Enterprise here.

 

Worf: Captain, is everything all right?

 

Picard [OC]: Yes, Lieutenant. Is there a problem?
