Similitude Line-by-Line

Hello, Welcome!

We recently completed Broken Bow Line-by-Line- thread in the ENT forum!

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.

Our "rule" is that if the episode has a "To Be Continued..." on the end, it is done in a single thread, but if it's just an arc of related episodes (like the Dominion Occupation Arc on DS9 or the Xindi Arc on ENT), each episode is a separate thread.

Get ready for a story, here we go!

 

[Armory]

ARCHER: The most difficult task facing any Captain, any crew, is the loss of a shipmate. We've come here to honor one of our own. In the time we knew him, he showed us just how much one life can truly matter. We will never forget what he did for us, and for the ship he loved so much. We will go forward with renewed determination to complete this mission, so that his sacrifice won't just have been for the people on this ship, but for all the citizens of Earth.

 

Two Weeks Earlier

[T'Pol's quarters]

TUCKER: We just reroute the system taps, compress the antimatter stream before it reaches the injectors.

 

TUCKER: Every simulation I run comes back with the same result. We'll be able to cruise at warp five point oh with no field fluctuation. I'm talking about a ride so smooth you could build a house of cards on the warp reactor.

 

T'POL: If we can maintain high warp for extended periods, we can cover the expanse more quickly.

 

TUCKER: Which boosts our chances of finding the Xindi weapon in time.

 

(T'Pol winces as he presses the wrong bit of her foot.)
T'POL: To the left.

 

TUCKER: Oh, sorry. You get me talking about the engines and I forget where I am. Don't know what it is about fine-tuning a piece of machinery.

T'POL: Lie on your back.

( Similitude is one of my favorite too, especially the emmy awarded music. I hope you will enjoy the episode like us.)

 

(She kneels by his head.)
TUCKER: You know, you made this sound a whole lot worse than it is.

 

T'POL: Advanced neuro-pressure can place great demands on the body.

(One of my favourite episodes as well!)

 

TUCKER: Well, I have to say that so far, it's a piece of cake.

 

T'POL: We haven't gotten to the more challenging postures.
(She leans over him to press his ribcage.)

 

TUCKER: Well, I'm always up for a challenge.

 

T'POL: Breathe.

TUCKER: Tucker to the Bridge.

 

[Bridge]

ARCHER: Archer.

 

[Engineering]

TUCKER: We're all set down here.

TUCKER [OC]: I'll need at least four point nine

[Engineering]

TUCKER: To get the plasma hot enough to compress the stream.
