Augments Arc Line-by-Line!

[LeadHead]

Reed: Perhaps we could fake a Klingon warp signature.

 

[Alienesse]

TUCKER: I'd have to reconfigure the coil assembly. It would take a few hours, but it should be doable.

 

[LeadHead]

Archer: What's the status of C-12?

 

[Alienesse]

T'POL: Doctor Lucas and his team would like to return and begin decontamination procedures.

 

[LeadHead]

Trip: That's quite a mess they've got to clean up.

 

[Alienesse]

T'POL: He estimates it will take more than a year.

Back on the Klingon Bridge...

Soong: Once we're safely through Klingon Space, we'll set a course for these coordinates. The Klingons call it Klach D'Kel Brakt. I call it the Briar Patch. It's a little catchier, don't you think?

 

[Alienesse]

LOKESH: Briar Patch?

 

[JanewayRulz!]

SOONG: You should have read more of the books I left for you. The region is flooded with radiation from supernova remnants. The Klingons have never mapped it. There are signs of at least two habitable planets inside the Briar Patch. It's unlikely anyone will find us.

 

[Alienesse]

MALIK: This is your plan? To hide again?

 

[JanewayRulz!]

SOONG: The embryos need to mature in a safe environment.

 

[Alienesse]

MALIK: Starfleet isn't going to give up so easily. They'll send other ships. This gas cloud won't protect us.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

SOONG: All right. What course would you set?

 

[LeadHead]

Malk: I'm not certain. But I know running away isn't the answer. Are you familiar with the name Botany Bay?

 

[Alienesse]

PERSIS: It's a penal colony on the shores of Australia.

 

[LeadHead]

Malik: It's also the name of a pre-warp vessel, launched in the last days of the Great Wars. The ship carried many of our brethren, including Khan Noonien Singh.

 

[KirkPicard]

Soong: Botany Bay is a myth. There's no evidence it ever existed.

 

[Alienesse]

MALIK: All records of the launch were destroyed. They didn't want to be followed.

 

[Enterprise1981]

SOONG: Even if you're right, the ship was lost, never to be heard from again.

 

[Alienesse]

MALIK: That's exactly my point. Khan was a great leader, but he made one fatal mistake. He ran from his enemies rather than face them. We've spent our entire lives running and hiding. When are we going to make a stand?
