Similitude Line-by-Line

SATO: Numerous injuries throughout the ship. Mostly minor, except for one: Commander Tucker. He's been taken to Sickbay.
 
[Engineering]

(T'Pol is supervising the mending of a big hole in a bulkhead.)
ARCHER: Report.
 
T'POL: When we entered the field nucleonic particles flooded the manifolds, causing the injector flare. If Commander Tucker hadn't shut down the reactor, we could have had a breach.
 
T'POL: We're still running diagnostics. The damage is significant. It could take weeks. Commander Tucker's going to have his hands full.
 
Archer: You'll be supervising the repairs. I've just come from Sickbay. Trip's in a coma. He has extensive neural damage. Doctor Phlox says we have to prepare for the possibility that Trip won't survive.

[Later in Sickbay]

(Trip has his head bandaged, monitor devices on his forehead and an oxygen tube under his nose.)

Archer: How is he?
 
PHLOX: His condition's unchanged. I'd like to show you something. This is one of the more interesting members of my little menagerie, a Lyssarrian Desert Larvae. It's epidermal layers secrete a viral suppressant that I use as a salve for cuts and bruises.
 
Phlox: The larvae have another, somewhat more controversial, property. When implanted with the DNA from another species it exactly replicates that species' life-cycle, albeit at a rapidly accelerated rate.
