"Relics" Line-by-Line

[Athena28]

SCOTT: Ah.

 

[Orac]

Geordi: So, you were saying earlier that you were on your way to the Norpin Colony when you had a warp engine failure?

 

[Athena28]

[Corridor]

SCOTT: Aye, that's right. We had an overload in one of the plasma transfer conduits. The Captain brought us out of warp and we hit some gravimetric interference and then there it was, as big as life. Is that a conduit interface?

 

[Orac]

Geordi: Yeah, it is. You were saying its big as life. You mean the Dyson Sphere?

 

[retroenzo]

SCOTT: Aye, an actual Dyson Sphere. Can you imagine the engineering skills needed to even design such a structure?

 

[Orac]

Geordi: Yeah, it's pretty amazing. So, what happened when you first approached it?

 

[mattman8907]

SCOTT: Well, we began a standard survey of the surface, and we were just completing the initial orbital scan when our aft power coils suddenly exploded. The ship got caught in the sphere's gravity well and down we went. Franklin and I were the only ones to survive the crash.

 

[Orac]

Geordi: Can I ask you a question? What in the world made you think of using the transporter pattern buffer to survive?

 

[mattman8907]

SCOTT: Well, we didn't have enough supplies to wait for a rescue, so we had to think of something.

 

[retroenzo]

LAFORGE: Yeah, but locking it into a diagnostic cycle so that the pattern wouldn't degrade, and then cross-connecting it phase inducers to provide a regenerative power source, that's absolutely brilliant.

 

[Orac]

Scotty: I think it was only 50% brilliant. Franklin deserved better.

 

[Leandar]

Geordi: I think you're going to enjoy the twenty-fourth century, Mr. Scott. We've made some pretty incredible advances these last eighty years.

 

[Athena28]

SCOTT: From what I've seen, you've got a fine ship, Mr. La Forge. A real beauty here. I must admit to being a bit overwhelmed.

 

[Orac]

Geordi: Wait until you see the holodeck.

 

[mattman8907]

[Sickbay]

CRUSHER: You have a hairline fracture of the humorous. It will ache for a few days, but it should be fine.

 

[Orac]

Scotty: Thank you. Well, I'll say this about your Enterprise. The doctors are a fair sight prettier.

 

[mattman8907]

PICARD: I'm Jean-Luc Picard. Welcome aboard the Enterprise, Captain Scott.

 

[retroenzo]

SCOTT: Thank you, sir, and call me Scotty.

 

[Orac]

Picard: How are you feeling?

 

[Athena28]

SCOTT: I don't know. How am I feeling?
