"Scorpion" Line-by-Line

[Leandar]

Seven: Where is your Captain? I must speak with her.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

CHAKOTAY: In our medical bay, recovering. You'll be dealing with me now.

 

[LeadHead]

Seven: The circumstances have changed.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

CHAKOTAY: I'd say so.

 

[Brian]

SEVEN: The loss of our vessel requires that we modify our agreement.

 

[LeadHead]

Chakotay: I've been giving that some thought. I'm willing to let you stay onboard. We'll continue to work with you on the weapon. Once we're safely out of Borg Territory, we'll give you the nanoprobes, shake hands and part company.

 

[Brian]

SEVEN: Insufficient. Our latest tactical projections indicate that the war will be lost by then. The nearest Borg vessel is forty light years away. You will reverse course and take us to it.

 

[LeadHead]

Chakotay: Even at Maximum Warp that's a 5 day journey, in the wrong direction. We're supposed to be heading out of Borg Space, not deeper into it.

 

[Brian]

SEVEN: There is no alternative.

 

[LeadHead]

Chakotay: Look, I'll honor the original agreement, but I'm not turning this ship around. It's too dangerous.

 

[Brian]

SEVEN: Denying our request is also dangerous.

 

[LeadHead]

Chakotay: I'll think about it.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

SEVEN: Think quickly.

 

[LeadHead]

Conference room

Chakotay: A 5 day trip back into the heart of Borg Territory. It's too risky. With those Drones and the Nanoprobes onboard, we might as well have a bulls-eye painted on our hull. We're a prime target for Species 8472. We'd never survive another attack.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

NEELIX: What is the alternative?

 

[Brian]

CHAKOTAY: I'm going to end this alliance here and now. We're going to drop the Borg off on the next uninhabited planet, give them the nanoprobes and take our chances alone. They can wait for a Borg ship to pick them up and finish the weapon. I'm in command now and I have to do what I think is best for this crew. Tom, I want you to scan for the nearest uninhabited planet and set a course.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

PARIS: Aye Sir.

 

[kathrynjaneway]

TUVOK: I must caution you, Commander. The Borg may not go quietly.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

CHAKOTAY: We'll see. Bring that female drone to the Ready Room. Dismissed.

 

[kathrynjaneway]

and in the Ready Room Chakotay continues to say
"Once we've beamed you to the surface we'll send down the nanoprobes and all our research."

SEVEN: Unacceptable. We don't have time for...
