Prey Line-by-Line

[Kertrats47]

PARIS: Captain, just before we cornered it, species 8472 accessed deflector control from this panel.

[Athena28]

TUVOK: The creature initiated telepathic contact with me.

 

[Rocky6]

JANEWAY: What's it saying?

 

[May 20]

TUVOK: Its ship was damaged during the conflict with the Borg. When the other members of its species retreated into fluidic space, it was left behind. It has been trapped in the Delta Quadrant ever since. Alone, pursued by Hirogen hunting parties. It has no desire for further conflict. It only wants to return to its domain. It is dying, Captain.

 

[Rocky6]

JANEWAY: You have nothing to be afraid of. We're going to help you get back to your realm. Does it understand?

 

[May 20]

TUVOK: It does.

 

[Rocky6]

JANEWAY: It will take time to open a singularity and we have no way of treating your injuries, but if there's anything you can tell us about your
(8472 collapses.)

 

[Orac]

Tuvock: It has lost consciousness. Our telepathic link has been severed.

 

[Rocky6]

(The Hirogen is in the surgical bay behind the forcefield and under armed guard. Note - the biobed is missing.)
ALPHA: Where is my prey?

 

[Orac]

Janeway: Lying at the end of a corridor on deck 11. Nearly dead, thanks to you.

 

[May 20]

ALPHA: Take me to it.

 

[Kertrats47]

JANEWAY: No.

 

[May 20]

ALPHA: Take me to it!

 

[JanewayRulz!]

JANEWAY: In less than three hours, your ships will arrive. By that time, Species 8472 will no longer be on Voyager.

 

[May 20]

ALPHA: What do you mean?
