The Chute Line-by-Line

[Orac]

Paris: You're starting to feel it, aren't you?

 

[Khamsin]

Harry: I guess I am.

 

[CaptVader]

PARIS: It gets worse all the time. We have to fight it. Let's focus on something positive.

 

[Orac]

Kim: How about a 7 course dinner? I suppose you didn't find any food.

 

[Athena28]

PARIS: Er, well, I found close to 50 good citizens in this quaint little community, but not a grocer among them.

 

[CaptVader]

KIM: I take it that's a no.

 

[Khamsin]

Paris: Yeah... But if we ever do get our hands on some food, I found a lovely spot for a picnic.

KIM: Great. All we need are the Delaney sisters and we could make a day of it.

 

[CaptVader]

PARIS: So how about you? Come across anything interesting in your travels?

 

[May 20]

KIM: If you mean an escape route, I ran into nothing but solid walls.

 

[CaptVader]

PARIS: Me too. As far as I can see, the only way to the surface is that chute in the main chamber.

 

[Khamsin]

Kim: The question is, how do we get into it without getting fried by that force field? You saw what happened to the man who reached inside.

 

[CaptVader]

PARIS: That's where this might come in handy.

(A piece of metal piping.)

PARIS: I thought if we could get our hands on some loose wiring, you might be able to use it to rig a device that would short out the forcefield long enough for us to get into the tube.

 

[Orac]

Kim: It's worth a try.

 

[CaptVader]

PARIS: Yeah. Now if we could only figure out a way to short out these implants, we'd be all set.

[Briefing room]

CHAKOTAY: There's no indication they followed us.

 

[Orac]

Janeway: I guess they're more interested in getting rid of us than finding out the truth.

 

[May 20]

TORRES: We've got to go back for Harry and Tom.

 

[Orac]

Janeway: B'Elanna.

 

[CaptVader]

TUVOK: We have no information as to their whereabouts. And if we return to Akritirian space, we are sure to encounter further hostilities.
