Gambit Line-By-Line

[May 20]

PICARD: But according to the legend, the Stone was destroyed by the gods when the Vulcan people found the way to peace.

 

[sekundant]

TALLERA: The resonator was believed to have been destroyed during the Time of the Awakening. Only one piece is known to have survived and it was placed in a Vulcan museum under heavy guard. A year ago, that piece was stolen from the museum. Soon after, mercenary ships began raiding archaeological sites across the quadrant. We believe a member of the isolationist movement is attempting to reassemble the resonator.

 

[May 20]

PICARD: A telepathic weapon.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

TALLERA: My orders are to find that assassin and stop him.

 

[Athena28]

PICARD: It would seem that Baran has to deliver these artifacts to the assassin in order to get paid. Therefore, you and I should continue our masquerade.

 

[May 20]

TALLERA: Agreed. But Captain, I cannot allow the resonator to be assembled. If necessary, I will destroy this ship, its crew, all of us to prevent that from happening.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

Acting Captain's log, stardate 47160.1. The Enterprise is entering the Hyralan Sector, which I believe to be the next destination of the mercenary ship.

[Bridge]

GIUSTI: I'm picking up a small vessel bearing 127 mark 335.

 

[sekundant]

DATA: Is it the mercenary ship?

 

[May 20]

GIUSTI: No, sir. It's a Klingon ship.

 

[Kertrats47]

WORF: A Toron-class shuttlecraft. One person.

 

[sekundant]

DATA: Open a channel. This is Lieutenant Commander Data of the Federation Starship Enterprise.

 

[Kertrats47]

KORAL [on viewscreen]: Koral.

 

[May 20]

DATA: I take it that is your name? May I inquire as to your destination?

 

[Kertrats47]

KORAL: No.

 

[sekundant]

DATA: May I ask the purpose of your journey?

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

KORAL [on viewscreen]: No.

 

[Athena28]

DATA: Perhaps I have not made our intentions clear. We are investigating...

 

[sekundant]

(transmission ends)
DATA: He seems most uncooperative.

 

[May 20]

TROI: He may have been curt, but he was also very worried and even a little scared.

 

[Kertrats47]

WORF: Sir, may I recommend that we bring the shuttle aboard with our tractor beam, search it, and interrogate Koral.
