Proving Ground Line-byLine

[Athena28]

T'POL: Considering the importance of this mission, I feel compelled to point out that they've proven untrustworthy in the past.

 

[Orac]

Archer: I don't trust them either, T'Pol, but based on my experience I think I can trust Commander Shran.

 

[Athena28]

[Mess hall]

REED: Coffee, black.

 

[Oddish]

TUCKER: "No tea?"

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

REED: Yeah, no crumpets either, thank you. I need all the caffeine I can get. What's the situation in Engineering?

 

[Orac]

Trip: Bad. The Armoury?

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

REED: Worse.

 

[Athena28]

TALAS: Which one of you is Reed?

 

[Orac]

Reed: I'm Lieutenant Reed.

 

[Soaraway]

Talas: I assumed I'd find you in the Armoury, not relaxing here. What is that?

 

[Orac]

Reed: It's coffee, and just for the record, I haven't left the Armoury for so much as a bathroom break in nearly twelve hours. And you are?

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

TALAS: Lt. Talas of the Imperial Warship Kumari.

 

[mattman8907]

REED: This is Commander Tucker, our Chief Engineer.

 

[Oddish]

TUCKER: "Pleasure."

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

TALAS (back to Malcolm): I've been ordered to assist you.

 

[Oddish]

REED: "Indeed. Well, I'll see if I can find something for you to do."

 

[Athena28]

TALAS: I have duties of my own. The sooner your ship is repaired, the sooner I can get back to them.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

TUCKER (wisely exiting stage left): Well, I'll let you two get acquainted.

 

[Oddish]

[Captain's Mess]

SHRAN: "I wasn't sure we'd find you alive. Under the circumstances, I'd say we have something to celebrate."
(He produces two glasses and a tall curvy bottle of something blue)

 

[Orac]

Archer: I appreciate the gesture, but we have a lot of repairs to make.
