"Caretaker" Line-by-Line

PARIS: I'd guess they were trying to get to one of the M-class planetoids in the Terikof Belt.

 

Cavit: That's beyond the Moriya system.

 

ROLLINS: The plasma storms would have forced them in this direction.

 

Janeway: Adjust our course to match.

 

CAVIT: Aye, Captain.

 

JANEWAY: The Cardassians claimed they forced the Maquis ship into a plasma storm where it was destroyed, but our probes haven't picked up any debris

 

PARIS: A plasma storm might not leave any debris.

 

JANEWAY: We'd still be able to pick up a resonance trace from the warp core.

 

KIM: Captain, I'm reading a coherent tetryon beam scanning us.

 

Janeway: Origin, Mister Kim?

 

KIM: I'm not sure. There's also a displacement wave moving toward us.

 

JANEWAY: On screen.

(The viewscreen shows a narrow band of energy heading towards them.)

JANEWAY: Analysis.

 

KIM: It's some kind of polarized magnetic variation.

 

CAVIT: We might be able to disperse it with a graviton particle field.

 

Janeway: Do it. Red Alert. Move us away from it, Lieutenant.

 

STADI: New heading, four one mark one eight zero.

 

CAVIT: Initiating graviton field.

 

KIM: The graviton field had no effect.

 

JANEWAY: Full impulse.

 

KIM: The wave will intercept us in twelve seconds.
