"Living Witness" Line-by-line

[mattman8907]

QUARREN: I just discovered your programme inside this data storage device.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

EMH: That's the EMH backup module. One of your attack parties must have taken it from Sickbay.

 

[Brennyren]

(Ah, the infamous "backup module"!)

QUARREN: Actually, we found it at the ruins at Kesef. I know this will be difficult for you to accept, but a great deal of time has passed since Voyager encountered the Kyrians.

 

[cosmic mouse]

EMH: How much time?

 

[Athena28]

QUARREN: Seven hundred years, give or take a decade. We're not certain.

 

[May 20]

EMH: I don't believe you.

 

[Brennyren]

QUARREN: Think about it. When your program is inactive, a moment or a millennium are the same to you.

 

[May 20]

EMH: Seven hundred years? What about my ship? What happened to my crew?

 

[mattman8907]

QUARREN: No one knows. It's safe to say they're long dead.

 

[Brennyren]

EMH: And I'm some sort of fossil?

 

[Catarina]

QUARREN: No, not a fossil. A witness. A living witness to history. There's so much we don't know about what happened. But you saw it, you lived through those times. You helped to shape them. Doctor, you could be the most important discovery of all time.

 

[Athena28]

EMH: No. This is impossible.

 

[mattman8907]

QUARREN: Doctor.

 

[Catarina]

EMH: I don't believe you!

 

[mattman8907]

QUARREN: Doctor!
(The EMH runs out of the simulation.)

 

[JanewayRulz!]

[Museum]

EMH: What's going to happen to me now? Will you put me on display? The holographic Rip van Winkle?

 

[mattman8907]

QUARREN: I'm not sure.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

EMH: I want to try to contact Starfleet, if there still is a Starfleet.

 

[Catarina]

QUARREN: That will have to wait.

 

[mattman8907]

EMH: Wait for what?
