Game - "Affliction/Divergence" - Line-by-Line

[May 20]

[Laboratory]

(Phlox is brought in by two Klingons.)
K'VAGH: Welcome to Qu'Vat Colony, Doctor. You will work with Doctor Antaak.

 

[mattman8907]

PHLOX: I will do nothing of the kind.

 

[May 20]

K'VAGH: Then you will die.

 

[Athena28]

PHLOX: I'm certain there are easier ways for you to recruit a new lab assistant.

 

[May 20]

K'VAGH: You misunderstand me, Doctor. Antaak will be assisting you.

 

[mattman8907]

ANTAAK: It's good to see you again, Doctor.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

PHLOX: I beg your pardon?

 

[May 20]

ANTAAK: I wouldn't expect you to remember but we met briefly five years ago, at the IME conference on Tiburon.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

PHLOX: I don't recall meeting a Klingon at that conference.

 

[May 20]

ANTAAK: I was disguised as a member of the Mazarite delegation. My people weren't invited.

 

[retroenzo]

K'VAGH: I will let you two get reacquainted. I suggest you work quickly, Doctor. I expect a progress report by sunrise.
(He leaves with one guard, leaving the other by the door.)

 

[sekundant]

ANTAAK: You must forgive the General's conduct. The Warrior caste has little use for social protocols.

 

[May 20]

PHLOX: What do you want with me?

 

[mattman8907]

ANTAAK: The Empire is facing its gravest threat since the Hur'q invasion. A virus is spreading from planet to planet. Millions are already infected. If this continues, the Klingon species will cease to exist.

 

[May 20]

PHLOX: Why didn't you simply ask for our help? Starfleet and Denobula would've provided you with all of the specialists you'd need.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

ANTAAK: You don't understand the Klingon way, Doctor. To ask for assistance would make us look weak in the eyes of our enemies. It could even incite rebellion.

 

[Athena28]

PHLOX: Why me?

 

[retroenzo]

ANTAAK: I was impressed by your lecture at the conference. Your paper on viral propagation was very insightful.

 

[May 20]

PHLOX: What field of study are you in, precisely?

 

[sekundant]

ANTAAK: Metagenic research. I've already isolated the virus. I assume you'll want to start by mapping the nucleotides? It wasn't my idea to abduct you. Nevertheless, you are here. Millions of lives are at risk.
