"Dark Frontier" Line-by-Line

[CoveTom]

Greetings!

We've recently concluded our "Bride of Chaotica" Line-by-Line thread.

After each completed thread, I'm randomly picking someone who participated to choose the next episode we do. The lucky winner this time around was kahtrynjaneway! And kathrynjaneway has chosen "Dark Frontier" as our next line-by-line adventure!

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.

As before, at the conclusion of this thread, I will pick someone at random from among all the participants to choose the next episode we do.

Enjoy!

[Borg vessel]

BORG COLLECTIVE (voice): A vessel has been detected. Unimatrix four-two-four, grid one-one-six. Activate. Alter course to intercept. Vessel identified. Federation Starfleet, Intrepid class, one hundred forty-three life forms. Prepare for assimilation. We are the Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

 

[Ziz]

Janeway (on Borg viewscreen): Break off your pursuit or we'll open fire!

 

[Brian]

BORG: Irrelevant.

 

[CoveTom]

JANEWAY (viewscreen): Is it? You've scanned our vessel. You know we can match your firepower.

 

[Brian]

BORG: You will be assimilated. Regenerate primary shield matrix. Remodulate weapons. Security breach. Starfleet photon torpedo. Disarm weapon.

[kathrynjaneway]

[Bridge]

Chakotay: I thought we were trying to disable it.

 

[LeadHead]

Seven: The torpedo detonated near the Power Matrix. It caused a Chain Reaction.

 

[kathrynjaneway]

Janeway: Survivors?

 

[Garm Bel Iblis]

Tuvok: none

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: Debris status.

 

[kathrynjaneway]

Harry: There's a few components intact but they're badly damaged.

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: Begin a salvage operation.

 

[Brian]

CHAKOTAY: Captain?

 

[kathrynjaneway]

Janeway: There might be something we can use...weapons, a transwarp coil. I don't know about the rest of you, but I feel lucky today.

 

[LeadHead]

Cargo Bay

Janeway: Now this is how I prefer the Borg, in pieces.

 

[kathrynjaneway]

Chakotay: Eight kilotons of debris, most of it hull fragments. So far we've recovered two power nodes and dozen plasma conduits, all in working order.

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: Their propulsion system, anything left?

 

[Brian]

CHAKOTAY: B'Elanna found a transwarp coil.

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: It's lighter than I expected. It must be some sort of polytrinic alloy. Lets hope our little skirmish got back to the Hive Mind. Maybe they'll think twice before they attack us again.
