"Storm Front" Line-by-Line

[Enterprise1981]

ARCHER: Trip. (into communicator) Beam them up.

The pair get taken up to safety.

 

[Willow]

VOSK: You have your men, Captain. Now it's your turn to reciprocate.

 

[Leandar]

Archer: How?

 

[P Tom]

VOSK: I wish to discuss something with you.

 

[Willow]

Archer: Go on.

 

[LeadHead]

Vosk: A species with your level of technology doesn't possess the capability for time travel.

 

[Orac]

Archer: We had a little help.

 

[LeadHead]

Vosk: As I suspected. What do you know about me?

 

[IrishNero]

ARCHER: I know that you're trapped here, and that you're trying to get back to the twenty ninth century. I also know you've made a deal with the Germans. They're giving you supplies, helping you build a time machine.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

VOSK: I see I was both right and wrong about you. You're not a temporal agent. But you're here to do their bidding.

 

[IrishNero]

ARCHER: If you carry out your mission, if you make it back to the twenty ninth century, you will ignite a war that will devastate the timeline.

 

[LeadHead]

Vosk: You've only heard one side of the story, Captain. The temporal agents who sent you here are a tyrannical sect imposing their will on countless cultures throughout history.

 

[IrishNero]

Archer: They enforce the Temporal Accords, preserve the time line.

 

[Willow]

VOSK: They manipulate the time line to serve their own needs. If you've ever dealt with them, then you know they do much more than watch history unfold. They interfere with events. They have an agenda.

 

[IrishNero]

ARCHER: So do you.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

VOSK: At least I don't hide my intentions. It's true, I don't agree with the Temporal Accords. I believe that time travel is a technology no different than your warp drive, to be utilized for the benefit of all species. Societies, cultures can be improved through careful manipulation of historical events.

 

[IrishNero]

ARCHER: Who decides what improvements are needed?

 

[ElimGarak.93-99]

VOSK: I won't be drawn into a philosophical discussion. There's one simple reason why you should help me, Captain.

 

[IrishNero]

ARCHER: And what's that?

 

[LeadHead]

Vosk: I can send you back to your century.
