Hello, Welcome! We've recently completed our "The Inner Light" Line-by-Line over in the TNG forum! After each completed thread, we're randomly picking someone who participated to choose the next episode we do. The lucky winner this time around was Athena28! And Athena28 has chosen "Blood Fever" as our next Line-by-Line challenge! 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. 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 or CoveTom, BlueStuff, Enterprise1981 or leandar, fresh off of winning our oscar for Best Adapted Line-by-Line, will run the randomizer to determine who will pick the next episode and get it going. Now, anybody know where we can find some gallicite?
Captains Log, Stardate 50537.2 Routine scans of an uninhabited star system have revealed the presence of gallicite, a very rare substance , on the 4th planet.
Torres: If these readings are right, we're looking at a yield of nearly a kiloton. That would be enough gallicite to completely refit the warp coils.
TUVOK: They are indications that a colony once existed on the planet's surface. However, it appears to be long abandoned.
Janeway: All right, let's stake a claim. I'll leave this in your hands B'Elanna. Use whatever resources or personnel you need. You might want to talk to Mister Neelix, I believe he spent some time working in a mining colony.
[Engineering] TORRES: These tunnels are clearly artificial. Someone else must've been interested in digging up this gallicite.
TORRES: True, but we have to be careful. There's been a lot of seismic activity down there. Look, theses tunnels are completely collapsed. We should bring Tom Paris on the away team. He's had quite a lot of rock climbing experience.
VORIK: I have spent several summers exploring the Osana caverns, which involved some quite treacherous climbing
Torres: This is, er, a little sudden, isn't it? Besides, I thought that Vulcan marriages were arranged. Don't you already have somebody back home?
VORIK: She has sufficient reason to consider me lost, and has most likely chosen another mate. It's appropriate for me to do the same.
