Similitude Line-by-Line

[JanewayRulz!]

T'POL: You've been working for eighteen straight hours.

 

[mattman8907]

SIM: If you had five days left, would you spend them sleeping? Besides, tomorrow morning I'm walking into Sickbay to donate some of my unneeded neural tissue. Which means that pretty soon I'll be answering to the real Trip, and if I know him, he's going to want these engines in as good a shape as they can be.

 

[May 20]

T'POL: I haven't commended you on the successful implementation of your plan. You saved the ship.

 

[Orac]

Sim: I appreciate that.

 

[sekundant]

T'POL: (noticing monitor display) Lyssarrian Desert Larva.

 

[May 20]

SIM: I wanted to learn something about my own species, so I've been doing a little research. Mostly on lifespans. Did you know that at one time in history human beings lived an average of only thirty five years? The average Vulcan lifespan was only forty?

 

[Orac]

T'Pol: Your point?

 

[May 20]

SIM: Just that both species expend a lot of effort to change those statistics. I guess it's just natural for people to want to stick around for as long as possible.

[Sickbay]

SIM: Why not give up my life? I've only got five, six days left anyway.

 

[mattman8907]

ARCHER: That isn't how we see it.

 

[May 20]

SIM: Let me ask you something, Doc. When you researched Lyssarrian larvae did you come across any references to the Velandran Circe?

 

[Orac]

Phlox: They were a group of Lyssarrian scientists who conducted illegal experiments on simbiots. They claimed to have developed an enzyme that stopped the rapid aging process.

 

[May 20]

ARCHER: Is there any truth to it?

 

[Orac]

Sim: Why do you think he kept it a secret?

 

[mattman8907]

Archer: Doctor?

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

PHLOX: The enzyme is experimental, with very little empirical evidence to suggest that it works. That's why I didn't mention it.

 

[sekundant]

SIM: There's not much evidence, but it exists. The fact is, I may not have to grow old and die in a week. There's a chance that I can live out a normal lifespan. I can't change what happened to him but maybe I can change what's going to happen to me.

[Trip's quarters]

SIM: Come in.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

ARCHER: How long have you been staying here?

 

[mattman8907]

SIM: I was on the way to my room last night, but I came here instead.

 

[Orac]

Archer: These are Trip's quarters.

 

[sekundant]

SIM: Which is where I belong. I have his memories, I have his feelings, I have his body. How am I not Trip?
