Observer Effect Line-by-Line

[May 20]

ARCHER: Stay where you are, Trip. Phlox needs blood samples.

 

[Kertrats47]

PHLOX: Here's the medkits.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

(Phlox puts the medkits through the decon chamber wall but as Hoshi comes to get them, she starts coughing.)
JON: Hoshi, what is it?

 

[mattman8907]

HOSHI: Before Commander Tucker passed out, he started coughing.

 

[Athena28]

PHLOX: Are you feeling any other symptoms?

 

[mattman8907]

(She dashes into the bathroom and throws up.)
TUCKER: I'm going to guess that's a yes.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

PHLOX: I'll prepare anti-nausea medication. You get me those blood samples as soon as you can.

 

[Athena28]

ARCHER: Anything?

 

[May 20]

PHLOX: Whatever's afflicting them, it's not showing up on the standard scans.

 

[Orac]

Archer: Doesn't sound good.

 

[LeadHead]

Phlox: It's not.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

[Corridor]

TRAVIS: I studied your report on how the Klingons reacted to the infection.

 

[May 20]

REED: Their response was typical for a species at their level of development.

 

[Athena28]

TRAVIS: The Klingon commander didn't let his landing party back on his ship.

 

[sekundant]

REED: Your point?

 

[May 20]

TRAVIS: Captain Archer did.

 

[mattman8907]

REED: Captain Archer's done nothing different from the Klingons. The launch bay and Decon Chamber are completely isolated from the rest of the ship.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

TRAVIS: So it doesn't matter if an infected landing party comes aboard.

 

[Athena28]

REED: Precisely. Humans don't want to interact with dying crew mates any more than Klingons did. If it was left to me, I'd stop our observations immediately. We have nothing more to learn from humans.

 

[May 20]

[Turbolift]

TRAVIS: Oh, I don't know. They're showing concern for each other. The Cardassians did that when they were here, didn't they?
