Proving Ground Line-byLine

[Hopeful Romantic]

ARCHER [OC]: What's the status on weapons?

 

[mattman8907]

REED: Torpedoes are back online, and thanks to Lieutenant Talas we should have phase cannons within the hour.

 

[Chakoteya]

ARCHER [OC]: We're going to need them. Archer out.

 

[Orac]

Talas: I wish we had more time. You're only going to get 94% efficiency from the phase cannons.

 

[Athena28]

REED: I've never gotten them above 93. If you ever decide to leave the Imperial Guard, Starfleet could certainly use you.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

TALAS: And if you get tired of exploring, you'd do well in the Imperial Guard.

[Command center]

ARCHER: I appreciate your offer, Shran. We accept.

 

[Orac]

Shran: I'll return to my ship.

 

[mattman8907]

ARCHER: I'm going with you. I plan to be there when you bring the weapon aboard.

 

[Orac]

Shran: That won't be necessary. We'll keep you informed.

 

[Athena28]

ARCHER: That's not good enough. If something goes wrong.

 

[mattman8907]

SHRAN: Kumari is a warship with a battle-tested crew. They're capable of performing their duties without you looking over their shoulders.

 

[Oddish]

ARCHER: "What happened to this being a joint venture?"

 

[Athena28]

SHRAN: We'll render whatever assistance we can, but my crew won't take orders from you.

 

[Orac]

Archer: They're going to have to.

 

[Chakoteya]

SHRAN: The Imperial Guard doesn't serve at your leisure, pinkskin.

 

[Orac]

Archer: This is my mission.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

SHRAN: And you'd pass up your best chance for success over a matter of pride?

 

[Orac]

Archer: This isn't about pride. The Xindi killed 7 million humans, not Andorians. I won't put the fate of my people in the hands of the Imperial Guard. Now, we could use your help, but if you're not happy with me calling the shots then we'll go it alone.

 

[Athena28]

[Shran's ready room]

GENERAL: I've seen the scans you transmitted, Commander. Impressive.
