"Equinox'' Line-by-Line

Gilmore: If one of those fissures opened up in here where would we take cover?

 

Chakotay: It's only a graviton relay. Nothing to worry about.

 

GILMORE: Do I look worried? Emergency stop!

 

[Corridor]

GILMORE: If you don't mind I think I'd rather take the Jefferies tube.

 

CHAKOTAY: I could use the exercise.

 

[Astrometrics lab]

SEVEN: I've run a thermographic analysis of our shields. It revealed multiple stress points. We believe they're the result of alien attempts to infiltrate our vessels. Each time a fissure opens within a metre of our shields it weakens them by point three percent.

 

JANEWAY: At the present rate, we have less than two days to mount a defense.

 

SEVEN: According to your bio-scans the aliens can survive in our realm for only several seconds.

 

RANSOM: They're like fish out of water, but they can do a lot of damage in those seconds.

 

TUVOK: Nevertheless, it is a tactical weakness. Perhaps we can exploit it.

 

BURKE: What have you got in mind?

 

SEVEN: If we can show them we have the ability to hold them here, they'll think twice before launching another attack.

 

JANEWAY: But the question is, how do we catch these fish?

 

BURKE: You build a net.

 

JANEWAY: Commander?

 

Burke: A multiphasic force field to be exact. We wanted to see what we were up against so we built a small chamber that could keep one of them trapped for several minutes.

 

JANEWAY: If we could expand on that technology, we might be able to create a lattice work of multiphasic force fields around both ships.

 

Burke: Rudy?

 

RANSOM: If Captain Janeway agrees.

 

Janeway: We'll need to examine that stasis chamber.
