"Relics" Line-by-Line

[Orac]

Data: Eye, sir.

 

[mattman8907]

[Jenolen]

LAFORGE: I can't find them anywhere in orbit.

 

[Orac]

Scotty: They could've crashed into the sphere like the Jenolen.

 

[retroenzo]

LAFORGE: No, we'd be picking up background radiation if they'd gone down.

 

[mattman8907]

SCOTT: There's another possibility. They could be inside the sphere.

 

[Orac]

Geordi: Maybe. Whatever happened, we've got to find them. If we can get these engines back online, we could track them with their impulse ion trail.

 

[mattman8907]

SCOTT: Are ye daft? The main drive assembly's shot, the inducers are melted, and the power couplings are wrecked. We'd need a week just to get started. But we don't have a week, so there's no sense in crying about it. Come on, We'll see what we can do with your power converter.

 

[Orac]

[Meanwhile on the Bridge of the Enterprise]

Data: The sphere appears to be abandoned. Sensors show that the star is extremely unstable. It is experiencing severe bursts of radiation and matter expulsions.

 

[Athena28]

PICARD: Then that would explain why they abandoned it. But if there's no one still living there, how were we brought inside?

 

[mattman8907]

DATA: I believe we triggered a series of automatic piloting beams designed to guide ships into the sphere.

 

[Leandar]

Worf: Sir, Sensors show a large magnetic disturbance on the star's surface.

 

[mattman8907]

DATA: It is a solar flare, Captain. Magnitude twelve, class B.

 

[Orac]

Picard: Shields?

 

[retroenzo]

WORF: Shields are up, but only at twenty three percent.

 

[mattman8907]

DATA: The star has entered a period of increased activity. Sensors indicate that the solar flares will continue to grow. In three hours, our shields will no longer be sufficient to protect us, sir.

 

[CoveTom]

[Back on the Jenolen]

SCOTTY: Shunt the deuterium from the main cryo-pump to the auxiliary tank.

 

[mattman8907]

LAFORGE: The tank can't withstand that kind of pressure.

 

[Orac]

Scotty: Where'd you get that idea?

 

[mattman8907]

LAFORGE: What do you mean, where did I get that idea? It's in the impulse engine specifications.

 

[Athena28]

SCOTT: Regulation 42/15, pressure variances on IRC tank storage?
