Lessons Line-by-Line

[CaptVader]

RIKER: The storm is going to interfere with communications. Everything will need to be coordinated from the surface. Mister Data, you will coordinate the evacuation of the colonists. Doctor, they have nine patients in the outpost infirmary. Your first priority will be to get them to Sickbay. After that you will stay on board the Enterprise, be ready to receive casualties. Marquez, you will take some people down and track the storm. All the other teams will need to be kept apprised of its heading. Commander, you're in charge of deploying the deflectors. Let's go.

 

[Orac]

Picard: Commander Daren. About these thermal deflectors.

(everyone else leaves)

Picard: There must be one of any number of people could coordinate their deployment.

 

[CaptVader]

NELLA: I assume Commander Riker chose me because I'm the best person for the job. Didn't we agree not to let our relationship get in the way of our work? I'll be all right.

 

[Orac]

[Corridor]

Number 1: Lieutenant Marquez has already set up on the surface. Apparently the storm is still gaining speed. He's estimating it'll hit the colony in less than 50 minutes. Ensign, make sure you maintain a continuous transporter lock on all away team personnel. We may have to pull them out in a hurry.

 

[CaptVader]

ENSIGN: Yes, sir.

 

[Orac]

Number 1: I don't want to take any unnecessary chances. If they get into trouble, beam them up immediately.

 

[CaptVader]

PICARD: Energize.

 

[Orac]

[Bridge]

Picard (continued): Mister Worf, how long before the storm reaches the outposts?

Worf: 17 minutes.

 

[CaptVader]

LAFORGE [OC]: La Forge to Bridge.

 

[Orac]

Picard: Go ahead, Mister La Forge.

 

[CaptVader]

[Transporter room]

LAFORGE: The ionization from the storm is interfering with the transporters, Captain. I'm compensating, but it's slowing things down a bit.

(Colonists are arriving)

 

[Orac]

Picard [OC]: Keep at it, Mister La Forge.

 

[May 20]

[Planet surface]

(the deflectors are set up on a ridge, the teams are below in rock formations)

RIKER [OC]: Riker to Daren.

 

[CaptVader]

NELLA: Daren here. Go ahead, Commander.

 

[Athena28]

RIKER: You've got less than 9 minutes before the storm reaches the northern perimeter.

 

[CaptVader]

NELLA: I'm here with team six. We're just about to bring the deflectors online.

 

[May 20]

RIKER [OC]: Whenever you're ready.

 

[CaptVader]

NELLA: Daren to perimeter team. Stand by to cross connect deflectors.

 

[May 20]

CREWMAN [OC]: Standing by.

 

[Athena28]

NELLA: Activate. Team 3, increase your output by .2 percent.
