[Athena28]

BILLY: Hey, I got tickets to the ball game this weekend. It's a double-header. Tim's going, Gavin, Jack, Maggie.

 

[mattman8907]

MESTRAL: I'm afraid I can't.

 

[retroenzo]

BILLY: What's wrong with you lately? Maggie says you haven't even ...

(An explosion knocks the two men down in a cloud of coal dust.)

 

[Athena28]

MESTRAL: Are you all right, Billy?

 

[mattman8907]

BILLY: Yeah.
(Miners rush to leave the mine, in a panic.)

 

[Athena28]

[Vulcan ship]

T'MIR: Why do you need us here?

 

[retroenzo]

MESTRAL: I'm looking for a particle weapon. The armoury case, help me find it.

 

[mattman8907]

STRON: Why?

 

[Athena28]

MESTRAL: There's been an accident in the mine. At least 20 men are trapped. It could take the humans days to free them.

 

[mattman8907]

T'MIR: We can't interfere.

 

[Athena28]

MESTRAL: They'll die. You'd let them suffocate. even if we could prevent it.

 

[retroenzo]

STRON: What if they see the weapon?

 

[mattman8907]

MESTRAL: We'll be certain they don't.

 

[BlueStuff]

T'MIR: At best, these humans only live to be 60 or 70. Is it worth the risk just to extend their lives a few more years?

 

[retroenzo]

STRON: We can't contaminate their culture.

 

[Athena28]

MESTRAL: This has nothing to do with contamination. It has to do with compassion.

 

[retroenzo]

T'MIR: Compassion is an emotion.

 

[mattman8907]

MESTRAL: They're my friends, and I'm going to help them. Don't try to stop me.

 

[Athena28]

^ [Mine]

MESTRAL: Yes.

[Above Ground]

T'MIR: Proceed 22 meters, then turn right at the junction.

 

[mattman8907]

MESTRAL [OC]: Understood.
