"Equinox'' Line-by-Line

EMH [OC]: Acknowledged.

 

[Equinox Bridge]

RANSOM: My crew.

 

JANEWAY: You took heavy casualties. We're treating the survivors. Who attacked you?

 

RANSOM: We don't know, we can't communicate with them. They've been attacking us for weeks.

 

JANEWAY: Easy, easy.

 

RANSOM: I've got to secure the ship,

 

JANEWAY: Leave that to us.

 

Ransom: No, treat me here. I'm not leaving my bridge.

 

JANEWAY: I can't pull rank on you, Captain, but you're in no condition to put up a fight.

 

Ransom: So, how's Earth?

 

"I wish I coould say"

 

Ransom: You weren't sent here to find us?

 

JANEWAY: I'm afraid not. We've been stranded in the Delta quadrant for 5 years. We were pulled here against our will by an alien called...

 

BOTH: The Caretaker.

 

Janeway: We'll compare notes later on. Let's get you to Voyager.

 

[Mess hall]


RANSOM: We're here to commemorate our honored dead. Lieutenant William Yates, Lieutenant John Bowler, Ensign Dorothy Chang, Ensign Edward Regis and Crewman David Amantes, who all served with distinction. Their bravery and sacrifice will not be forgotten. They will be missed, but now there is cause for optimism. Captain Janeway, Voyager, on behalf of my crew; thank you.

 

Janeway: We'll have time to give the newest members of our family a proper welcome in the days ahead, but right now, we've got our hands full. The Equinox is secure, but its primary systems are still badly damaged. Harry, B'Elanna, make it your priority. Captain Ransom has provided us with data regarding the alien attacks. Tuvok, Seven, you'll be working with First Officer Maxwell Burke. To kindred spirits. May our journey home together be swift. Dismissed.

 

TUVOK (addressing Burke): We should begin by familiarizing you with Voyager's defenses.

 

Burke: Can you give me a minute? There's someone I'd like to say hello to first.

 

SEVEN: We'll be in the Astrometrics lab. Deck 8, section 29.
