Scientific Method Line-By-Line

[Athena28]

Hello, Welcome!

We recently completed The House of Quark Line-by-Line- thread in the DS9 forum!

For any unfamiliar with our "game," you are asked to post only a single line (defined as one character speaking without interruption by another character) per message. You can post as often as you like, but someone else must post a line in between your posts.

Our "rule" is that if the episode has a "To Be Continued..." on the end, it is done in a single thread, but if it's just an arc of related episodes (like the Dominion Occupation Arc on DS9 or the Xindi Arc on ENT), each episode is a separate thread.

Get ready for a story, here we go!

TORRES: Sorry. I didn't realize that you'd been assigned here today.

 

[Kertrats47]

SEVEN: I wasn't. This space was unoccupied so I came here to work.

 

[Catarina]

TORRES: On what?

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

SEVEN: I'm reconfiguring the power couplings in this section.

(Good to be with y'all again! Hopefully sekundant has the fortitude to join us )

TORRES: Why?

 

[mattman8907]

SEVEN: The Astrometrics lab requires additional energy.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

TORRES: I see. So you're rerouting power from other locations, like Engineering?

 

[May 20]

SEVEN: They are minor adjustments. Primary systems will not be affected.

 

[Athena28]

TORRES: Unless, of course, someone is trying to do a warp core diagnostic, which my crew has been trying to do all morning. We have lost hours of work because of this.

 

[May 20]

SEVEN: There is no need for anger. I had no intention of causing a problem.

 

[Kertrats47]

TORRES: What, "sorry" isn't in the Borg vocabulary? You need to check with me before you touch the power systems. Understood?

 

[May 20]

SEVEN: Understood.
(Seven moves aside for Torres.)
SEVEN: I am unaccustomed to working in a hierarchy. In the Collective there was no need to ask permission.

 

[Kertrats47]

TORRES: If you're going to be a member of this crew, get used to it. Procedures exist for a reason. We've got to work together. Follow the same set of rules...
(Torres trails off)

 

[May 20]

SEVEN: Lieutenant?

 

[Kertrats47]

TORRES: I was given that lecture once, by Captain Janeway when I first joined this crew. If I could adjust to Starfleet life, so can you.

 

[mattman8907]

SEVEN: Of course. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

 

[Kertrats47]

[Doctor's office]
PARIS: Doc, I've got to go run a few errands, I'll be back soon.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

EMH: Not so fast, Mister Paris. Can't these errands wait until the end of your duty shift?

 

[Kertrats47]

PARIS: Well, it's my conn report, actually. I just realized I forgot to turn it in, and Chakotay gives me a hard time when it's late.
