"Blink of an Eye" VOY Line-by-line

[Athena28]

JANEWAY: The tachyon core has created a space time differential between the planet and the surrounding space. We're watching the seasons change in a matter of seconds.

 

[sekundant]

SEVEN: For each second that passes on Voyager, nearly a day goes by on the planet.

 

[May 20]

JANEWAY: Scan for inhabitants.

 

[Orac]

7: I can't isolate individual lifeforms. It'll take time to correct for the space-time differential

 

[mattman8907]

CHAKOTAY: A couple of hundred years, maybe? If our orbit starts to decay, Voyager will begin to feel the effects of the differential and we'll begin aging hundreds of times faster than we would in normal space.

 

[May 20]

JANEWAY: Unless we want to live our lives in the blink of an eye, I suggest we find a way out of here.

 

[sekundant]

[Engineering]

CHAKOTAY: How's our warp core?

 

[May 20]

TORRES: The matter-antimatter reaction is still active, but this field we're stuck in is raising hell with the nacelles. Until we break orbit, warp drive is offline.

 

[Zander]

CHAKOTAY: Without warp drive, we'll never leave orbit.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

TORRES: It does pose a bit of a problem, doesn't it?

 

[mattman8907]

CHAKOTAY: Maybe the key is to learn more about this planet, in case we're missing something.

 

[May 20]

TORRES: Sensors aren't having an easy time of it either.

 

[mattman8907]

CHAKOTAY: Then let's modify a class-five probe for low orbit, see what we can pick up. Configure the programme to scan along all subspace bands, and set it for visual images every ten milliseconds.

 

[Ghislaine H. B. BRAEME]

TORRES: Snapshots. Why do I get the feeling you're not just interested in tachyon fields?

 

[mattman8907]

CHAKOTAY: This could be the greatest anthropological find of my career. If there's an intelligent species down there, we'll be able to track their development, not just for days or weeks, but for centuries.

 

[sekundant]

TORRES: Watch them discover new and better ways of beating each other over the head

 

[mattman8907]

CHAKOTAY: They won't necessarily follow the Klingon model.

 

[sekundant]

TORRES: As opposed to the Human model? It'll take a few hours to make the adjustments.

 

[Ghislaine H. B. BRAEME]

CHAKOTAY: A few hours. We might miss the rise and fall of a civilisation.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

TORRES: So we'll watch the next one.
