The Chute Line-by-Line

[May 20]

Captain's log, supplemental. So far we've located three ships with paralithium plasma emissions, but none of them appears to have produced explosives. We're currently in pursuit of a fourth vessel.

 

[Orac]

Chakotay: We're in hailing range of the Akritirian freighter, Captain.

 

[CaptVader]

TUVOK: I'm only reading two life signs aboard.

 

[Orac]

Janeway: Open a channel. This is Kathryn Janeway of the Federation Starship Voyager to the captain of the Akritirian cargo vessel.

 

[CaptVader]

VEL [on viewscreen]: I'm the captain of this vessel. What do you want?

 

[Khamsin]

CAPT. JANEWAY: Two of my crew members were convicted by the Akritirians of a terrorist bombing. We're trying to prove their innocence, and we have reason to belive a ship like yours, which uses paralithium for fuel, might have been involved in the production of the explosives.

 

[Athena28]

PIRI: Let's get out of here.

 

[CaptVader]

VEL [on viewscreen]: Quiet. (to Janeway) This is a cargo vessel.

 

[May 20]

JANEWAY: Then you won't mind if a few of my crew members come aboard to have a look around.

 

[CaptVader]

VEL [on viewscreen]: Not if they don't mind having their throats cut.

 

[May 20]

JANEWAY: There's no need to be abrupt.
(Transmission ends.)

 

[CaptVader]

CHAKOTAY: I guess you're not the only captain who doesn't want their ship boarded.

 

[May 20]

TORRES: Captain, I'm picking up residual traces of trilithium. They're faint but they're there. I think we may have found our bomb makers.

 

[CaptVader]

JANEWAY: Mister Tuvok, send a security detail to Transporter room two. Lieutenant Torres, beam the two of them aboard and tractor their ship into the shuttle bay.

 

[Orac]

Torres: Aye, Captain.

 

[CaptVader]

[Conference room]

VEL: You have no right to hold us.

 

[Orac]

Janeway: My people have been accused of aiding a terrorist group called Open Sky. What do you know about them?

 

[CaptVader]

PIRI: They're not terrorists. They're patriots. One day they'll lead the legitimate government of our people.

 

[May 20]

VEL: We don't have to answer any of their questions, Piri.
