"Sins of the Father" Line-by-Line

[CoveTom]

Greetings!

We've recently concluded our "The Way of the Warrior" Line-by-Line thread over in the DS9 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 Enterprise1981! And Enterprise1981 has chosen "Sins of the Father" as our next line-by-line adventure!

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 will pick someone at random from among all the participants to choose the next episode we do.

Enjoy!

PICARD (voiceover): Captain's Log, stardate 43685.2. As part an exchange program, we're taking aboard a Klingon officer to return the recent visit of Commander Riker to the cruiser Pagh.

[Corridor]

PICARD: We must take care that while he is with us, Commander Kurn is accorded all the rights and responsibilities due the first officer of this ship. If he should feel patronized in any way...

 

[LeadHead]

Riker: I'm sure we'd know. One does not patronize a Klingon Warrior.

 

[CoveTom]

PICARD: Your experience on board the Pagh will prove invaluable during the commander's tour. Be sure that the crew is prepared for any unusual orders.

 

[LeadHead]

Riker: The Klingons are very thorough. I'm sure Commander Kurn has studied for this assignment just as I did when I served with them.

 

[CoveTom]

PICARD: I understand he requested the Enterprise specifically.

 

[LeadHead]

Transporter Chief: Commander Kurn is ready for Transport, Captain.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

PICARD: Energize.

^^Finishing:
Picard (cont.): Welcome aboard the Enterprise, Commander. I'm Captain Picard. This is Commander William Riker. He will be yielding the first officer's position to you during your tour.

Kurn: You are relieved. May I take my station, Captain?

 

[Vulcan Princess]

Riker: I thought that I might show you your quarters first.

 

[Leandar]

Kurn: I am ready for duty, sir. I ask that I be allowed to take my station.

 

[Enterprise1981]

PICARD: Very well. If you will accompany us to the bridge.

 

[Leandar]

Kurn: I am Kurn, commander rank, Klingon Defense Force. You will address me as Commander or ''sir'' at all times. I am fully aware of all Starfleet regulations and they will be strictly adhered to by all personnel while I am in command. It is my intention to bring a sense of discipline that you may not be accustomed to. With your permission, of course, Captain.

 

[Enterprise1981]

PICARD: By all means, Commander.

 

[Leandar]

Kurn: I have studied all of your service records. Impressive. We shall see if you live up to your reputations. (Wesley is whispering something to Data as Kurn speaks and Kurn eventually notices) Do you wish to speak... Acting Ensign Wesley Crusher?

 

[Enterprise1981]

WESLEY: No, sir... Commander, sir.

 

[Leandar]

Kurn: The crew awaits your orders, Captain.

 

[Enterprise1981]

PICARD: Take us into the outer cometary cloud, Commander.

 

[Leandar]

(Picard sits in his chair, Kurn sits in Riker's chair and Riker sits in Troi's usual chair)

Kurn: Set course one one four mark two three zero, one third impulse power.

 

[Enterprise1981]

WESLEY (nervously): Aye, sir.
