"Counterpoint" Line-by-Line

[kathrynjaneway]

JANEWAY: The Federation's cardinal protocol.

 

[LeadHead]

Kashyk: It seems you violated it when you rescued these telepaths.

 

[Adm_Hawthorne]

Janeway: Well, let's just say I usually go with my instincts and sort it out later at the Board of Inquiry. Those Admirals and I were on a first name basis, you know. You're risking a lot, too. Why?

 

[kathrynjaneway]

KASHYK: Three months ago my teams were inspecting a plasma refining vessel. We found a family of telepaths hiding in one of the extraction tanks. There was a child, very young. She'd been inside it for days, barely able to breathe. When I lifted her out and set her down on the deck she thanked me. I sent her to a relocation centre with the others, knowing full well what would happen to her. After that, I could think of nothing else, and when I couldn't stand it any longer. You're my deliverance, Captain.

Computer: Analysis Complete.

 

[kathrynjaneway]

JANEWAY: It worked. It looks like it'll appear in about three days, less than eight light-years from here.

 

[LeadHead]

Kashyk: The Tehara system.

 

[kathrynjaneway]

JANEWAY: Is that a problem?

 

[LeadHead]

Kashyk: There's an automated sensor array between here and Tehara.

 

[kathrynjaneway]

JANEWAY: Can we go around it?

 

[LeadHead]

Kashyk: We'd never make it in time, we'll have to find a way to avoid detection.

 

[vas2009]

JANEWAY: Let's do it in the morning. We've done enough for tonight. Are you saying goodbye? There'll be other spirals.

 

[kathrynjaneway]

KASHYK: They've just never looked quite so beautiful before. Could be the company I'm keeping.

 

[vas2009]

JANEWAY: Or the polarisation axis of the windows.

 

[LeadHead]

Kashyk: That must be it.

 

[vas2009]

(In Corridor, Leaving the Messhall)

JANEWAY: How often does this array emit a scanning pulse?

 

[kathrynjaneway]

KASHYK: Every forty seconds.

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: Range?

 

[kathrynjaneway]

KASHYK: Ten light years. The pulse is designed to track warp fields and impulse signatures. If we lower our power output to beneath it's detection threshold...

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: We could drift past undetected.
