"Macrocosm" Line-by-Line

[LeadHead]

Lights flicker and go out. Janeway and Neelix go to the transporter controls.

Janeway: Main power is failing, and the environmental controls are going offline. System are starting to shut down one by one. We'd better get to the bridge.

Janeway and Neelix exit the transporter room and enter a turbolift.

Janeway: Good, we've still got auxiliary power. Deck One.

 

[summerwind3]

NEELIX: It's getting awfully hot in here.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

JANEWAY: When environmental controls fail, heat from the warp plasma conduits can't be vented. Expect a heat wave before long.



(it's the second time I have to edit my post, because I'm such a slow poster )

Neelix: No problem, I'm used to it. I grew up near the Rynax Marshlands. Our summers were the hottest in the sector. 50 degrees Celsius, 90% humidity and the most vicious lavaflies you've ever seen.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

JANEWAY: Summers in Indiana were pretty similar when I was growing up.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

NEELIX: Except that we had three suns and the lavaflies grew to be six centimeters long.

 

[summerwind3]

JANEWAY: Six centimeters huh?

 

[JanewayRulz!]

NEELIX: Insect repellant was a booming business.

(Something thumps the turbocar and it stops. There is lots of buzzing outside.)

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: There's a life form in the turboshaft. I'm engaging the manual override.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

NEELIX: Ah, Captain, it sounds like our guest has bought a few friends.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

JANEWAY: One more second. I can't get the pneumatic conduits to ...

(Something punches through the door and squirts gung onto Neelix. Janeway phasers the long tentacle that follows it.)

 

[summerwind3]

NEELIX: That was no lava fly.

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: There's no life form in the tube above us. We're getting out of here.

Moments later, Janeway and Neelix are in a Jeffries Tube.

Janeway: Are you all right?

 

[JanewayRulz!]

NEELIX: Yes. Disgusting, but I'm all right.

 

[summerwind3]

JANEWAY: That's the same mucilaginous compound we saw in the transporter room. Come on.

 

[LeadHead]

They crawl further through the Jeffries Tube, Janeway checks her tricorder

Neelix: What is it?

 

[JanewayRulz!]

JANEWAY: Human lifesigns, very faint. Thirty or more.

 

[summerwind3]

NEELIX: Where are they coming from?

 

[LeadHead]

Janeway: Several decks above us, I can't pinpoint the location.

 

[summerwind3]

NEELIX: Maybe the crew is hiding from the aliens and they set up a defense perimeter.
