"In The Pale Moonlight" Line-by-Line

[Vanyel]

You may not like the future. It's been a long war. The Federation has lost almost half of Starfleet to the Klingons.

 

[Admiral Shran]

We were negotiating a peace treaty when I left.

 

[Vanyel]

A lot of changes Lieutenant. A lot of changes.

 

[Admiral Shran]

When we get a break, maybe you could fill me in on some of them.

 

[Vanyel]

Photon banks are depleted. Auxiliary fusion generators are down.

 

[Admiral Shran]

There is a high degree of probability that the temporal rift is symmetrical, Captain.

 

[Vanyel]

What what would happen if the Enterprise C were to fly back through it?

 

[Admiral Shran]

Back, sir? The Enterprise C would emerge in her own time period at almost the same instant she left.

 

[Vanyel]

Right in the middle of the battle with the Romulans.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Yes, sir.

 

[Vanyel]

Is there any possibility she could survive?

 

[Admiral Shran]

None, sir.

 

[Vanyel]

Then sending them back would be a death sentence.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Lieutenant Barrett to communications.

 

[Vanyel]

She was the first Galaxy class warship built by the Federation. 42 decks. Capable of transporting over 6000 troops.

 

[Admiral Shran]

How long have you been on board?

 

[Vanyel]

Four years. Straight out of the Academy. I was lucky to even get the Enterprise.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Yeah, me too. I mean, my Enterprise.

 

[Vanyel]

Lieutenant, how's the ship?

 

[Admiral Shran]

Lieutenant, how's the ship?
