"Contagion" Line-by-Line

[LeadHead]

Picard: This is very reminiscent of Dinasian.

 

[Alienesse]

DATA: Yes, sir. There are also similarities to Dewan and Iccobar.

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: Is it possible that they could be branches of the same language family, beginning with Iconian?

 

[Alienesse]

DATA: It is, sir.

 

[KirkPicard]

Picard: Run a comparison using basic simple words from Dinasian, Dewan and Iccobar. See if we can reconstruct a common root language.

 

[LeadHead]

Data: Accessing Sir.

 

[Alienesse]

[Bridge]

(Deanna twitches)

RIKER: You're jumpy.

 

[LeadHead]

Troi: The tension on the ship is very high.

 

[Alienesse]

RIKER: What's your recommendation?

 

[Leandar]

Deanna: Give everyone something to do. Somewhere to focus their attention.

 

[Enterprise1981]

RIKER: All right. Let's consider evacuation.

 

[CoveTom]

TROI: To the planet?

 

[Enterprise1981]

RIKER: I know it's probably impossible with Taris sitting out there, but it would give everyone something to do. You go and organize it.

 

[LeadHead]

Troi: But you might need me if you have to negotiate with Taris again.

 

[Enterprise1981]

RIKER: I'll manage. Right now, they're more important.

 

[LeadHead]

Back in the Iconian Control Room

Data: Captain, your original hypothesis is correct. Iconian is the parent tongue of a language family which consists of Iccobar, Dewan and Dinasian. I have constructed a basic working understanding through a comparison of common root words such as mother, father, child, home, tribe, food, life, death, yours, ours, mine-

 

[JanewayRulz!]

PICARD: Data, Data, Data.

 

[Enterprise1981]

DATA: You do understand, sir, that my interpretation of the symbols will not be exact?

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: Yes. Lets get on with it.

 

[Enterprise1981]

DATA: This would appear to be manual override. (He presses the key pad, the globe comes to life and sends an energy beam to the wall. Other beams join in to create a rectangular 3D image of a coast scene)
That was not manual override.
