''Dead Stop'' Line-by-Line

[LeadHead]

the stations grappling arms move around Enterprise.

Mayweather: (over comm) Enterprise to Captain Archer.

 

[Orac]

Archer: Go ahead.

 

[LeadHead]

Back on Enterprise

Mayweather: Some kind of mechanical arms are being attached to the outer hull.

 

[Orac]

[Station diagnostic room]

Archer: It's all right, Travis. Stand by.

 

[Athena28]

COMPUTER: The recreation facility is now available to all personnel. Enjoy your visit.

 

[Orac]

[Recreation area]

(another sci-fi white room, with a few tables and chairs and a great view of Enterprise being welded up)

Trip: If this their idea of a recreation facility you might want to ask for our plasma back.

 

[LeadHead]

T'Pol scans the electronic center of one of the tables.

T'Pol: A Matter-Energy converter.

 

[Orac]

Trip: It could be a transporter. An awfully small one.

 

[Athena28]

T'POL: I believe it's a molecular synthesizer of some kind. Similar to a protein resequencer, but far more advanced. Water, cold. I saw a similar device on a Tarkalean vessel. It was capable of replicating almost any inanimate object.

 

[Orac]

Trip: If we had one of these in Engineering we could make all the spare parts we need. I wonder what else is on the menu. One pan-fried catfish. (a plate, knife and fork, fish, twist of lemon, greens and two other items of food appear) Smells like the real thing. (tastes)

 

[LeadHead]

Archer: Well?

 

[Orac]

Trip: Not bad.

 

[Alienesse]

ARCHER: I doubt there's a catfish within a hundred and thirty light years.

 

[Orac]

T'Pol: It's genome is stored in Enterprise's computer as is the recipe. The station evidently scanned our database.

 

[Alienesse]

ARCHER: It would have been nice to have been asked. I can only imagine what else this thing knows about us.

 

[LeadHead]

Trip: Cap'n, you've gotta try this.

 

[Orac]

Archer: Thanks, but I'll stick with whatever Chef's serving. I'll be on the Bridge. (leaves)

 

[Athena28]

[Sickbay]


REED: Are you sure this thing knows what it's doing?

 

[Orac]

Phlox: That's the third time you've asked.

 

[Alienesse]

REED: You didn't answer me the first two times.
