Encounter at Farpoint. One line at a time.

[Cmndr J Crichton]

As part two of my TNG tribute, I thought it would be fun to do a one-line-at-a-time thread. Let's begin!


Picard
Captain's log, stardate 41153.7.
Our destination is planet Deneb
IV, beyond which lies the great
unexplored mass of the galaxy.
My orders are to examine Farpoint,
a starbase built there by the
inhabitants of that world.
Meanwhile I am becoming better
acquainted with my new command,
this Galaxy Class U.S.S.
Enterprise. I am still somewhat in awe of its
size and complexity. As for my crew,
we are short in several key positions, most
notably first officer, but I am
informed that a highly experienced
man, one Commander William Riker,
will be waiting to join our ship
when we reach our Deneb IV destination.

But...that's several lines.

I don't get it. What's the purpose of this exercise?

[Cmndr J Crichton]

Oh, well. I thought'd it would just be fun. It's been done before, though. Ad technically, that counts as the first line spoken in the series.

"You will agree, Data, that Starfleet's orders are... difficult?"

 

[2of1million]

"Difficult? Simply solve the mystery of Farpoint Station."


Err...something like that anyways.

18 by my count. He could probably shave a few lines off if he used the entire width of the message box.

:thumbsup: Yep. Then Marina chimes in with... "Farpoint Station. Even the name sounds mysterious."

Don't know what it is, but I'm always drawn in by her bizarre first season accent.

 

[Turbo]

"Captain...I'm sensing a...a powerful mind!"

 

[Green Shirt]

"And its hiding something".

 

[SmoothieX]

Look, sir. It's brought donuts for everyone!

 

[Spider]

Worf: Sir, this looks like nothing but a spamfest to me.
Picard: Agreed. For the time being, however, let's just keep an eye on it.
Worf: Shall I load the Warning Routines?
Picard: Only if SmoothieX pisses me off again.
Worf: Aye Captain.

 

[Cmndr J Crichton]

/\Should I just change this to a grade and discussion thread? I didn't even think that the one-line-at a time threads would be against the rules.

While threads like this would not be allowed in some forums because of it's spammy nature, I don't think there is enough traffic in the TNG forum for this to be a problem.

Carry on. If only the TNG regulars come in here to play, we are OK. If "the others" show up, I might have to shut it down.

**Sets phaser to itchy rash and takes potshot at Spider**

 

[CaptainStoner]

Worf: Strawberry cream-filled...a Warrior's pastry!

 

[Brolan]

Riker: Hmmmmmm, donuts!!!

 

[SmoothieX]

Picard: Commander LaForge, can you use your VISOR to tell me what kind of jelly is in this one?

Geordi: Well sir, If I'm interpreting my this correctly, it's actually chocolate cream.
