"The Best of Both Worlds" Line-by-Line

[Vanyel]

Borg: Death is irrelevant. Your archaic cultures are authority driven. To facilitate our introduction into your societies, it has been decided that a human voice will speak for us in all communications. You have been chosen to be that voice.

 

[LeadHead]

Back on the Bridge...

Worf: Commander, they are leading us into the heart of our own defenses.

 

[Vanyel]

LaForge: Yeah, well so far they haven't had much of a reason to worry about our defenses.

 

[LeadHead]

Wesley: Commander! If The Borg continue at Warp 9.6, we will be forced to discontinue pursuit and power down in less than 3 hours.

 

[Vanyel]

Data:. 2 hours 40 minutes 3 seconds.

 

[LeadHead]

Riker: How soon before the Deflector's ready?

 

[Vanyel]

LaForge: We're close, a few hours maybe. I know, I'll get it done on 2 some how, but Commander I'm going to need serious power from the warp engine to make this weapon work. So far we're using everything we've got just to keep up with them.

 

[LeadHead]

Shelby: Sir, we've got to get that ship down to Impulse.

 

[Vanyel]

Riker: I'm leading an away team over there to get the Captain back. We'll find away to get them out of warp. Mr. Crusher, you continue to assist Mr. LaForge. Commander Shelby, you'll take bridge and coordinate with Starfleet. Data, Worf, Doctor your with me.

 

[LeadHead]

Shelby: Excuse me Sir. With my knowledge of the Borg...

 

[Vanyel]

Riker: Those are my orders Commander.

 

[LeadHead]

Troi: Commander Riker, it is inappropriate for you to lead the Away Team. Until the return of Captain Picard, you're in command of The Enterprise. We're in a state of war and your place is on The Bridge.

 

[Vanyel]

Riker: Commander Shelby, you'll lead the away team. Make it so.

First Officer's log, Stardate: 43998.5. Our pursuit of the Borg will take us on a course to the very core of the Federation. The devastation they could bring is beyond imagination.

 

[LeadHead]

Worf enters Transporter Room and distributes Phasers

Worf: These Phasers have been re-tuned, each has a different frequency spanning the upper EM band.

 

[Vanyel]

Shelby: All right, a reminder, we get to use each of these once, maybe twice before the Borg learn to adapt. Don't fire until you have to.

 

[LeadHead]

Crusher: What kind of resistance should we expect?

 

[Vanyel]

Data: In our first encounter the Borg virtually ignored us when we beamed aboard their vessel. Clearly they did not consider our being there a threat.

 

[LeadHead]

Shelby: That may change however, if we start interfering in their plans.

Away team steps to transporter pad

Shelby to Bridge, Away Team ready.

 

[Vanyel]

Bridge.
Riker: We've got 58 minutes before we have to power down and disengage.

 

[LeadHead]

Shelby: (over comm) Understood.
