"Basics" Line-by-Line!

[LeadHead]

Janeway: On screen.

 

[Admiral Shran]

KIM: Showing one life sign, adult Kazon male. He's in critical condition.

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: Janeway to Sickbay. Prepare to receive an Emergency Transport.

 

[Admiral Shran]

KES [OC]: Standing by, Captain.

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: Commander. Mister Tuvok, you have the Bridge. Remain at Red Alert.

 

[Admiral Shran]

TUVOK: Aye, Captain.

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway and Chakotay enter sickbay.

Kes: His hip is broken. Showing severe inflammation in the bronchial tissue.

 

[Admiral Shran]

EMH: It appears he inhaled noxious gases vented in the damaged shuttle. 40 milligrams pulmozine.

 

[LeadHead]

Chakotay: I know this man. His name is Teirna. He's one of Seska's aides. She had him work me over when I was on their ship.

Teirna grabs Chakotay's Shoulder.

 

[Admiral Shran]

TIERNA: Seska is dead. Seska thought that she could manipulate the maje. She bragged about it to me more than once. But this time, she was wrong. We had just launched the buoy with the message for you. Then they came for her. They cut her throat as Culluh watched. He ordered them to execute me, but I bribed one of the guards to get me to a shuttle. As soon as he saw it leaving, Culluh opened fire, destroyed my life support systems. He left me in space to die.

 

[LeadHead]

Chakotay: What about the child?

 

[Admiral Shran]

TIERNA: Taken to the Gema IV colony to be raised as a servant.

 

[LeadHead]

Chakotay: We'll be needing your help getting to the Gema System.

 

[Admiral Shran]

TIERNA: You're going after him? This ship, alone? I want nothing to do with this. I'm not taking you into Nistrim space.

 

[LeadHead]

Chakotay: Under the circumstances, I'd say you don't have much of a choice.

Chakotay walks away to the Doctors office.

Chakotay: What's his prognosis?

 

[Admiral Shran]

EMH: He'll be on his feet in a day or two but there's still a number of things we need to keep an eye on. He's had a nasty concussion, spinal cord trauma and a polycythemia, the cause of which I've yet to discover.

 

[LeadHead]

Chakotay: Polycythemia?

 

[Admiral Shran]

EMH: An abnormal increase in the number of red blood cells.

 

[LeadHead]

Chakotay: I'd like you to run an autonomic response analysis the next time I question him.

 

[Admiral Shran]

EMH: I'm afraid that won't help you determine if he's telling you the truth, Commander. An ARA depends on making a baseline comparison with the known response for a given species. Any Tom, Dick or Harry from the Alpha Quadrant, I could probably help you, but not with any of the new species of the Delta Quadrant. Regarding his veracity, it may help you to know that if we'd arrived an hour later, he would have been dead from his injuries.
