"Broken Bow" Line-by-Line

[Athena28]

Hello, Welcome!

We recently completed Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges Line-by-Line- thread in the DS9 forum!

For any unfamiliar with our "game," you are asked to post only a single line (defined as one character speaking without interruption by another character) per message. You can post as often as you like, but someone else must post a line in between your posts.

Our "rule" is that if the episode has a "To Be Continued..." on the end, it is done in a single thread, but if it's just an arc of related episodes (like the Dominion Occupation Arc on DS9 or the Xindi Arc on ENT), each episode is a separate thread.

Get ready for a story, here we go!

[Archer home - 2121]

JONATHAN: Where no man has gone before.

 

[Kertrats47]

HENRY: Doctor Cochrane would be proud of you.

 

[sekundant]

JONATHAN: I know the whole speech by heart. When's it going to be ready to fly?

 

[LeadHead]

Henry: Let the paint dry first.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

JONATHAN: No, I mean the ship.

 

[sekundant]

FATHER: Not for a while. It hasn't even been built yet. You know that.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

LITTLE JONNY ARCHER: How big will it be?


[So happy to be back in our beloved ENT forum with y'all. Great pick, Almas!]

 

[May 20]

FATHER: Pretty big.

 

[Athena28]

JONATHAN: Bigger than Ambassador Pointy's ship?

 

[sekundant]

FATHER: His name is Soval, and he's been very helpful. And I've told you not to call him that, Jonathan.

 

[Orac]

Jonathan: Well, Billy Cook said we'd be flying at warp 5 by now if the Vulcans hadn't kept things from us.

 

[May 20]

FATHER: Well they have their reasons. God knows what they are.

Broken Bow, Oklahoma - 30 Years Later
An alien ship has crashed in a cornfield. A Klingon is chased by two Suliban, whom he dispatches by luring them into a grain silo and destroying it, only to then be met by a farmer named Moore, armed with a plasma rifle.

MOORE: Drop your weapon! I mean it!

 

[JanewayRulz!]

KLAANG: (unintelligible)

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

MOORE: I don't understand a word you're saying, but I guarantee you I know how to use this.

 

[sekundant]

KLAANG:
(He steps forward, so the farmer shoots him.)

(Approaching a spaceship in spacedock.)

TUCKER: The ventral plating team says they'll be done in about three days.

 

[LeadHead]

Archer: Be sure they match the color with the nacelle housings.

 

[Orac]

Trip: You planning to sit on the hull and pose for some postcards?
