"Lower Decks" Line-by-Line!

[Leandar]

Ogawa: Sam, please.

 

[HarryM]

LAVELLE: I can't believe this. We're friends.

 

[Enterprise1981]

TAURIK: We're also Starfleet officers.

 

[HarryM]

OGAWA: I'm not allowed to talk about it.

 

[Enterprise1981]

LAVELLE: Okay. I understand. I'd better get going. I've got duty in half an hour.

 

[HarryM]

PICARD: Captain's log, stardate 47566.7. We have reached the coordinates in Federation space where Ensign Sito's escape pod was to have rendezvoused with us. However, we have been waiting for over thirty hours and as yet there is no sign of her.

 

[Enterprise1981]

[Bridge]

RIKER: Report.

 

[Leandar]

Lavelle: We completed a long range scan of the area, sir. The escape pod doesn't seem to be out there.

 

[Enterprise1981]

DATA: It is possible that at this distance we are unable to distinguish the pod from the inorganic matter normally present in space.

 

[Leandar]

Riker: Try narrowing the scan field. See if you can pick up any biosigns.

 

[HarryM]

LAVELLE: Sir, it would help if I knew what kind of life signs to look for.

 

[Leandar]

Riker: You're scanning for Bajoran lifesigns.

 

[HarryM]

LAVELLE: Yes, sir.

(Picard enters)

 

[Leandar]

Riker: Nothing yet. The pod is thirty-two hours overdue.

 

[HarryM]

WORF: Sir, I recommend we launch a probe to increase the range of our sensor sweeps.

 

[Leandar]

Riker: Launching a probe into Cardassian space would be a treaty violation.

 

[HarryM]

PICARD: Mister Worf, prepare a probe and launch when ready.

 

[Admiral Shran]

WORF: Aye, sir. Probe launched, sir.

 

[Leandar]

Data: Sir, I am detecting signs of debris two hundred thousand kilometers inside Cardassian space. Its mass and composition indicate it could be the remains of a Federation escape pod.

 

[Admiral Shran]

PICARD: Captain's log, supplemental. We have intercepted a Cardassian report stating that a Bajoran prisoner escaped her captor and was killed in an evacuation pod as she tried to leave Cardassian space.

[Ready room]

(Picard reluctantly sits at his desk and opens a channel to the entire ship.)

PICARD: To all Starfleet personnel, this is the Captain. It is my sad duty to inform you that a member of the crew, Ensign Sito Jaxa....

[Engineering]

PICARD [OC]: has been lost....

[Sickbay]

PICARD [OC]: in the line of duty. She was the finest example of a Starfleet....

[Bridge]

PICARD [OC]: officer, and a young woman of remarkable courage....

[Ready room]

PICARD: and strength of character. Her loss will be deeply felt by all who knew her. Picard out.
