Future Imperfect Line-by-Line

[May 20]

ETHAN: The station was set up last year. Then the Romulans came.

 

[CaptVader]

RIKER: It's odd that the Enterprise wasn't advised. Where are your parents now?

 

[Athena28]

ETHAN: They took them away.

 

[CaptVader]

RIKER: Do you know why the Romulans are keeping you here?

 

[Orac]

Ethan: No. I just want to get away.

 

[CaptVader]

RIKER: I'll get us out of here, Ethan.

 

[Orac]

Ethan: How? Even if we do get away, they'll find us. They found me when I escaped before.

 

[CaptVader]

RIKER: You escaped?

 

[May 20]

ETHAN: Yes. I hid in a secret place for weeks, but they caught me when I came out to find food.

 

[CaptVader]

(Tomalak and a guard storm back in)
TOMALAK: I want that information, Commander. I want the location of Outpost 23… Very well. I have been given permission to use whatever means are necessary.

 

[Orac]

Ethan makes a run for it through the open door

Number 1: Ethan, no!

 

[Athena28]

TOMALAK: Stop him!

 

[CaptVader]

(Riker punches Tomalak, then gets the guard off Ethan and takes his weapon)
[Tunnel]
RIKER: That secret hiding place of yours?
(he shoots another guard)

 

[Athena28]

ETHAN: This way. In here.

 

[CaptVader]

[Crawlspace]

(Ethan fastens the grill back in place. Another Romulans tests it and tries to look in, then leaves)
RIKER: Their sensors should have picked us up.

 

[mattman8907]

ETHAN: No, they can't. I heard them. There's something in these rocks.

 

[CaptVader]

RIKER: Heavy metals?

 

[Oddish]

ETHAN: "Right."

(they go through a hole in a wall into -)

[Store room]

ETHAN: "The Romulans forgot all about this storeroom when they rebuilt their tunnels. Here, use these. Help me."

(they build a barricade of boxes in front of the hole, then switch on the light. It's quite a big room)

ETHAN: "After I got away last time, I mapped out all their tunnels. Supply depot, communications, living quarters and shuttlebay."

 

[Orac]

Number One: How many guards in the shuttlebay?

 

[CaptVader]

ETHAN: Only two or three.
