Gambit Line-By-Line

[Orac]

Tellera: Plasma pressure is 14% above critical.

 

[May 20]

BARAN: If you fail....

 

[sekundant]

RIKER: We'll all be dead anyway. Just need a few more seconds.

 

[May 20]

TALLERA: Plasma pressure is dropping. We're back into safe levels.

 

[Orac]

Number 1: If you want to make sure that doesn't happen again, you'd better re-initiate your regulator sub-compressors. A full diagnostic of your intermix chamber wouldn't hurt either.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

BARAN: Do it. Put him in quarters for now.

 

[Athena28]

RIKER: You still wish you'd killed me?

 

[May 20]

[Ruins]

WORF: The search teams have reported in. They found several archaeological sites. Each one has been looted.

 

[Kertrats47]

LAFORGE: It's possible that the microcrystalline damage I found in these indentations was the result of some kind of high energy transporter beam but I still don't understand. There's nothing here that's particularly valuable. Why would anyone want to steal any of these things?

 

[sekundant]

DATA: Perhaps these artifacts have a special value to the Romulans.

 

[May 20]

WORF: The Romulans?

 

[Kertrats47]

DATA: These structures were built by the Debrune. That race is an ancient offshoot of the Romulans. The ruins on the planet where Captain Picard was killed were also Romulan in origin.

 

[May 20]

WORF: The leader of the group that attacked us was Romulan. Perhaps they are controlling the mercenaries.

 

[Kertrats47]

DATA: The question remains: why are they stealing these artifacts?

[Bridge]

DATA: There are several archaeological sites in this sector containing ruins which are Romulan in origin. These are the locations that were attacked by the mercenary vessel.

 

[Orac]

Geordi: Looks like they did a pretty thorough job.

 

[LeadHead]

Data: The only sites not been attacked were on Calder Two, Yadalla Prime, and Draken Four.

 

[May 20]

LAFORGE: Yadalla and Draken are at the far edge of the sector, but Calder Two? That's less than a day from here at maximum warp.

 

[LeadHead]

Data: That would be their next likely target.

 

[Orac]

Geordi: According to this, there's a Federation outpost at Calder 2.

 

[sekundant]

DATA: But it is only a small science station. It has limited defensive capabilities. I do not believe it could withstand an attack from the mercenary ship. Mister Worf. Send a message to the Federation outpost on Calder Two. Advise them that if a ship matching the mercenary vessel approaches, they should attempt to delay it until our arrival. Ensign, take us out of orbit. Set course for the Calder system. Warp nine.
