"Face of the Enemy" Line-by-Line

Greetings!

We've recently concluded our "Favor the Bold/Sacrifice of Angels Line-by-Line" thread over in the Deep Space Nine 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 Gul Re'jal! And Gul Re'jal has chosen "Face of the Enemy" as our next line-by-line adventure!

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.

As before, at the conclusion of this thread, I will pick someone at random from among all the participants to choose the next episode we do.

Thanks to 5 LeadHead Rings (aka LeadHead) for doing the heavy lifting on prepping this round!

Enjoy!

 

[Romulan Warbird Crew Quarters]

TROI: Computer, lights. (a beat as she comes to) Computer, turn on the lights.

(Troi gets to a mirror, she's been Romulanized, and the credits roll.)

 

Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. It's continuing mission: To explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before.

(Act One)

(As Troi looks at her horrific changes, a Romulan man walks into her quarters)

N'Vek: Good, you're awake.

 

Troi: Who are you?

 

N'Vek: Please, Counselor, there is little time. The Commander will be calling for you at any moment.

 

TROI: Where am I?

 

N'Vek: You are aboard the Imperial Romulan Warbird Khazara. I am Sub-commander N'Vek.

 

TROI: Warbird? I was at the neuropsychology seminar at Bokara Six. The last thing I remember was returning to my quarters. I was attacked. I felt a hypospray.

 

N'Vek: It was necessary. I could not be certain you would come voluntarily.

 

TROI: Oh, God. My head's still spinning.

 

N'Vek: There are drugs in your system, but they've nearly dissipated. The disorientation will soon pass.

 

TROI: Why have you brought me here?

 

N'Vek: Listen to me carefully. You are no longer Deanna Troi. You are Major Rakal of the Tal Shiar, the Imperial Intelligence. Commander Toreth...

 

Troi: Am I a prisoner?

 

N'Vek: There is no time to explain everything. You must listen. Commander Toreth will want to know your mission. Tell her nothing. Simply instruct her to proceed to the Kaleb sector, heading one oh two mark four.

 

Troi: The Kayleb Sector?

 

N'Vek: Repeat it! Heading 102 mark 4.

 

Troi: (Repeating) Heading One-Zero-two Mark Four. And she'll take orders from me?

 

N'Vek: You are an officer of the Tal Shiar. She will obey you. But do not push her too far.

 

Toreth: (over comm) SubCommander N'Vek. We are approaching the loading point. Bring our guest to the Bridge.
