Gambit Line-By-Line

[May 20]

[Mercenary Bridge]

RIKER: I've never explained my orders before. I'm not about to start now.
(ends transmission)
RIKER: I won't let him blow this ship into space. If I can set up a low level comm. link between the two ships, I can use my personal command codes. I can deactivate the shields.

 

[sekundant]

BARAN: Do it.

 

[May 20]

[Bridge]

WORF: Commander, we are receiving some kind of signal from the mercenary ship. These are Commander Riker's access codes. He is attempting to shut down our shields.

 

[Orac]

Troi: That doesn't make any sense. He knows those codes would have been changed as soon as he was captured.

 

[LeadHead]

Data: That is correct, Counselor. He does know. Mister Worf, prepare to drop shields.

 

[Kertrats47]

WORF: Sir, we would be totally defenseless!

 

[LeadHead]

Data: I am aware of that.

 

[Orac]

Wharf: Sir, as soon as they see...

 

[LeadHead]

Data: Mister Worf, that is an order.

 

[sekundant]

[Wharf? @Orac? ]

WORF: Aye, sir.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

[Wharf! Orac, you slay me ]

[Mercenary Bridge]

RIKER: It worked. The shields are dropping.

 

[Athena28]

BARAN: Fire.

 

[sekundant]

(Picard presses a red button and two red beams repeatedly strike the Enterprise's starboard nacelle)

To Be Continued...

[Are we good? Yes we are! ]

 

[May 20]

Last time on Star Trek: The Next Generation

RIKER: My friend tells me you might know about the man we're looking for.

[Kertrats47]

YRANEC: There was a group of aliens sitting at this table. He was asking them questions. One of them took out a weapon and fired. He was vaporized.

 

[sekundant]

RIKER: This is about justice. The Captain died in a bar fight for nothing.

[Thank you @May 20 for the script ]

 

[Kertrats47]

BARAN: Those ruins have been studied for centuries. There's nothing new to learn from them.

 

[May 20]

RIKER: Then what were you doing there?

 

[Kertrats47]

PICARD: Baran wouldn't last five minutes as captain if he didn't have that control device.

 

[Orac]

Tallera: That almost sounds like a prelude to mutiny.
