"Message In A Bottle" Line By Line

Tuvok: We're receiving a transmission.

 

JANEWAY: Let's hear it.

JANEWAY [OC]: Starship Voyager. We're in the

JANEWAY: Bridge to Seven. What went wrong?

 

Seven: I don't understand. My readings show that the station picked up our message and relayed it across the entire network.

 

[Bridge]

TORRES: We should try widening the subspace bandwidth and sending the message again.

 

Janeway: Do it.

 

Harry: Transmitting.

 

Seven: The signal is being relayed. No sign of interference. Wait. It's being deflected back again.

 

[Bridge]

JANEWAY [OC]: This is Captain Kathryn Janeway.... starship Voyager.... the delta quadrant....

 

SEVEN (over comm): I have a possible explanation, Captain.

[Astrometrics lab]

SEVEN: As our carrier wave moves along the network it may be degrading.

 

[Bridge]

PARIS: Can we try a different kind of signal? Something stronger?

 

TORRES: A holographic data stream might work. It wouldn't degrade so quickly.

 

CHAKOTAY: It would take too long to reconfigure the message, unless...

 

JANEWAY: The Doctor!

 

TORRES: Exactly!

 

Janeway: Bring him to Astrometrics and I'll meet you there. We don't have much time.

 

[Sickbay]

TORRES: Doctor, you have to come with me, quickly.

 

EMH: Would you mind at least telling me what all this is about?

[Astrometrics lab]

EMH: When I requested more away missions, this isn't exactly what I had in mind.

 

JANEWAY: You may be our only chance to communicate with that ship.

 

TORRES: When you get there you'll be downloaded into their EMH system. I'm sending an initiation code along with your program so you'll be activated immediately.

 

SEVEN: We have less than ninety seconds before that ship moves out of range.
