"Second Skin" Line-By-Line

[LeadHead]

Line-by-Line players, I don't think I've ever seen you looking so ravishing!

We've recently finished our "Caretaker" Line-by-Line over in the Voyager Forum!

After each completed thread, I'm randomly picking someone who participated to choose the next episode we do. The lucky winner this time around was Alienesse! And Alienesse selected "Second Skin" as out next challenge!

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.

As before, at the conclusion of this thread, I or my Parallel Universe Double, CoveTom () will pick someone at random from among all the participants to choose the next episode we do.


Now, lets get to the Cardassian Intrigue...

 

[LeadHead]

Dax is sitting at the replimat, alone. Quark Approaches.

Quark: Why don't you tell Uncle Quark all about it?

 

[Vanyel]

Dax: What are you talking about Quark?

 

[Leandar]

Quark: You're fifteen minutes late for your appointment in the holosuites, and by the look of that drink, you've been nursing it for a while. You got stood up, didn't you?

 

[Alienesse]

DAX: Well, if you must know, I'm waiting for Major Kira. We were supposed to go anti-grav sailing together, but you know how she feels about the holosuites.

 

[BlueStuff]

KIRA: She feels they're a complete waste of time. Anything worth doing in a holosuite can be done better in the real world.

 

[Ziz]

QUARK: You've obviously never been in the right holosuite program. But, if you'd like, I could --

 

[Alienesse]

KIRA: You could, but you'd live to regret it.

 

[LeadHead]

Quark: Maybe some other time.

Quark leaves

 

[BlueStuff]

KIRA: Sorry I'm late. Sisko and I had to revise crew rotations again.

 

[Alienesse]

DAX: So you're not cancelling?

(hi, Blue! )

 

[BlueStuff]

(Hey!)

KIRA: No. I'm kind of looking forward to it, except for crashing.

 

[Alienesse]

DAX: Oh, don't worry, you won't crash. We'll start out with an easy simulation like sailing across the Great Erg on New Mecca. You'll see, it'll be great.

 

[BlueStuff]

CREWMAN [OC]: Ops to Major Kira.

 

[LeadHead]

Kira: Kira here.

 

[Enterprise1981]

CREWMAN (over comm): You have an incoming communication from the Bajoran Central Archives.

 

[BlueStuff]

KIRA: I'm in the Replimat. I'll take it down here. This will only take a minute.
(She goes to a comm. panel near the entrance.)
KIRA: This is Major Kira.

 

[Enterprise1981]

ALENIS [on monitor]: Major, my name is Alenis Grem. I'm doing a study on the Elemspur Detention Centre for the Bajoran Central Archives and I was hoping to ask you a few questions.

 

[BlueStuff]

KIRA: I'd be glad to help, but why come to me? I was never at Elemspur.

 

[Alienesse]

ALENIS [on monitor]: Cardassian records clearly indicate that a Kira Nerys was held at Elemspur for seven days.
