    SCOTT: Aye. We found hundreds of them when we did our initial survey 75 years ago.

    SCOTT: Aye. That was standard procedure at the time. We did it right before we crashed.

    LAFORGE: Hailing is standard procedure today, too. Scotty, what if those aren't communications arrays? What if they're access terminals which are triggered by subspace signals on certain frequencies.

    SCOTT: Frequencies like our standard ship's hail.

    Geordi: Exactly. The Enterprise, when they saw that terminal, they probably did the same thing you did 75 years ago. Opened a channel. Only this time they triggered something that activated that hatch and pulled the ship inside the sphere.

    SCOTT: Very nice piece of reasoning, laddie. Nice indeed.

    Geordi: Yeah. We could probably trigger the hatch ourselves, only we'd get pulled in like they were.

    SCOTT: Maybe all we need to do is to get our foot in the door. We might not be pulled inside when the hatch opens if we keep our distance from the sphere. Say, half million kilometers. Then when the hatch starts to close, we move in and we use the Jenolen to jam the hatch open, hoping that the Enterprise will escape.

    LAFORGE: You can't be serious. That hatch is huge. It'll crush this ship like an egg.

    SCOTT: Geordi, the shields will hold. Don't worry about that. I can get a few extra gigawatts out of these babies.

    Scotty: Geordi. I have spent my whole life trying to figure out crazy ways of doing things. I'm telling you, as one engineer to another, I can do this.

    LAFORGE: All right. Let's do it. (later)
    LAFORGE: We're at five hundred thousand kilometres.

    I'll finish Geordi's dialog for you @retroenzo. :cool:

    (the four beams shoot out and start searching for something to lock on to as the space doors open)

    Geordi: Come on. There's nothing out here. Give it up.

    (the beams cut out and the doors start to close again)

    Geordi: That's it. Let's go! Full impulse.

    (the Jenolen parks in the doorway, shields glistening as the space doors press against them)

    [Meanwhile on the bridge of the Enterprise]

    Worf: Sir, there is an audio message from Commander La Forge.

    Thanks @Orac . That'll teach me for using a script site and not concentrating when I copy/paste.

    LAFORGE [OC]: La Forge to Enterprise, do you read me?

    [Jenolen]

    LAFORGE: We're using the Jenolen to hold open the hatch that you came through, but our shields aren't going to hold out much longer.
