Proving Ground Line-byLine

[Chakoteya]

ARCHER: I don't think they attacked anyone. It's Bikini Atoll.

 

[Orac]

Shran: What?

 

[mattman8907]

ARCHER: When my species was developing primitive nuclear weapons they needed places to test them. One was a remote island called Bikini Atoll.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

T'POL: So you believe this is some kind of proving ground.

 

[mattman8907]

ARCHER: It's possible. If they are getting ready to test their weapon, we're running out of time.

 

[Athena28]

SHRAN: I wouldn't recommend a frontal assault. Your weapons are damaged, critical systems are down all over your ship, and your out-numbered four to one.

 

[Orac]

T'Pol: I thought it was 4 to 2.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

SHRAN: Even our combined forces don't stand a chance against that kind of firepower. I'm not ready to risk my ship when we don't even know if the Xindi weapon is here.

 

[Athena28]

ARCHER: I agree. We need to get a closer look.

 

[Chakoteya]

SHRAN: What do you propose we do? Fly up to them and ask them what they're doing?

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

[Corridor]

(Shran is being escorted by a crew member.)
TUCKER: Ensign.

 

[mattman8907]

ENSIGN: Commander.

 

[Athena28]

TUCKER: I'll take him from here.

 

[Oddish]

SHRAN: "Mister Tucker. How are your repairs coming along?"

 

[Orac]

Trip: Pretty well, thanks to your people, but I was wondering if I could ask a favour. I'm told your anti-matter injectors use variable compression nozzles.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

SHRAN: Told by whom? That's rather sensitive information.

 

[Chakoteya]

TUCKER: I don't want to get anyone in trouble, but one of those injectors would work wonders for our engines.

 

[Soaraway]

Shran: I imagine it would. I don't know, Commander, that's a sophisticated piece of technology.

 

[Athena28]

TUCKER: I thought we were allies here.

 

[mattman8907]

SHRAN: That remains to be seen. You have my condolences over the attack on your world.
