(The object is spinning so fast, its clouds dip in at the poles and spread out round the equator.)
PARIS: That's one planet that never showed up on the multiple choice exam.

 

[mattman8907]

TUVOK: Its gravimetric readings are similar to that of a collapsed dwarf star. It also resembles a quasar, in that it has a high rate of rotation, approximately fifty eight revolutions per minute.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

JANEWAY: Shall we take a closer look?

 

[May 20]

CHAKOTAY: That's what we're here for.

 

[Athena28]

JANEWAY: Tom, put us in a high orbit.

 

[sekundant]

PARIS: Aye.
(Rumble.)

 

[May 20]

TUVOK: Our warp drive is offline.

(waves at sekundant )

 

[mattman8907]

CHAKOTAY: Why?

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

TUVOK: Unknown.

 

[sekundant]

JANEWAY: Back us off.

(Happy to share the ride with all of you guys )

 

[May 20]

PARIS: Our impulse engines aren't responding.

 

[Orac]

Janeway: Then use the auxiliary thrusters.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

KIM: We're in some kind of gravimetric gradient. It's pulling us toward the planet.

(Energy plays over Voyager's hull.)

[Planet surface - early culture]

(The locals have long greasy hair and are dressed in skins. One of the places a fruit on an altar, then the ground shakes. A new star shines in the sky.)
SHAMAN: The new one is brighter than Tahal, or any of his brothers in the sky.

 

[May 20]

NATIVE: What does he want from us?

 

[Zander]

SHAMAN: To answer that, we must learn the nature of this god. We must understand the reason for his arrival. You were making an offering to Tahal.

 

[May 20]

NATIVE: I placed the fire-fruit on his altar. Then the ground shook. I looked up and the new one was there.

(Hi, Zander! I'm glad you have joined us! )

 

[mattman8907]

(It had fallen onto the ground. The shaman picks it up.)
SHAMAN: The new one doesn't want Tahal to have the fire-fruit. Make an altar for him, as big as Tahal's. The fire-fruit is only for the New One. No more for the people. It is His alone. Ground Shaker, Light Bringer, take this today, and every day. Accept our offering. Do not harm us.

[Bridge]

JANEWAY: Report.
