Azati Prime Line-byLine

[May 20]

[Reptilian ship brig]

ARCHER: Hello again.

 

[Athena28]

DEGRA: How do you know me?

 

[May 20]

ARCHER: Long story.

 

[sekundant]

DEGRA: Repeat what you told him.

 

[May 20]

ARCHER: The name of your third child is Trenia.

 

[Kertrats47]

DEGRA: Leave me alone with him, and take him as well. (Exeunt Reptilians)

 

[May 20]

ARCHER: Three months into the pregnancy your wife contracted Anaprolean fever. You lost the child. You were going to name it Trenia.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

DEGRA: I've never told that to anyone.

@Kertrats47: (Exeunt Reptilians)

 

[sekundant]

ARCHER: You told it to me. You also talked about the weapon you designed, the one that killed seven million people. When you watched the telemetry come in you wondered how many of those seven million were children.

 

[Athena28]

DEGRA: Who are you?

 

[May 20]

ARCHER: It doesn't matter who I am or how I know all this. What's important is that you listen to what I have to say.

 

[Kertrats47]

DEGRA: Continue.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

ARCHER: Your reason for building this weapon is based on a lie.

 

[sekundant]

DEGRA: What lie would that be?

 

[May 20]

ARCHER: That at some point in the future humans are going to destroy your species.

 

[Athena28]

DEGRA: That is not a lie!

 

[Kertrats47]

ARCHER: You know about the Spheres.

 

[May 20]

DEGRA: Of course.

 

[sekundant]

ARCHER: They were constructed by trans-dimensional beings. Their purpose is to reconfigure the Expanse to make it habitable for their species. That's what destroys the Xindi, not humanity.

 

[May 20]

DEGRA: I've studied the Spheres. There is no evidence to support what you're saying.
