"The Counter-Clock Incident" Line-by-Line

[CoveTom]

Greetings!

We've recently concluded our "Contagion Line-by-Line" thread over in the TNG 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 leandar! And leandar has chosen "The Counter-Clock Incident" 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.

And now, four our first animated line-by-line adventure...

[Enterprise in Space]

KIRK (voice only): Captain's Log, stardate 6770.3. The Enterprise is on course for the planet Babel, where ambassadors from all Federation planets are waiting to honor the Enterprise's distinguished passenger, Commodore Robert April, first captain of the USS Enterprise, and for the past twenty years, Federation Ambassador at large. Now seventy-five years old, Commodore April has reached mandatory retirement age.

^^I gotta do this, or else I'll kill my rep: lol!!

Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. It's five year mission: To explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no man has gone before.

April: No matter where I've traveled in the galaxy Jim, this bridge feels more like home than anywhere else.

 

[Captain Robert April]

KIRK: Yes, Commodore, I know the feeling.

(And I'm gonna have to keep close tabs on this one...)

April: To me, she was always like my child. I was there in the San Francisco Navy Yards when her unit components were built.

 

[CoveTom]

MCCOY: Jim, I didn't realize how many of the tools I use in Sick Bay were designed by Sarah.

 

[Leandar]

Sarah: As the first medical officer aboard a ship equipped with warp drive, I'm afraid I had to come up with new ideas all the time.

 

[Captain Robert April]

KIRK: Your modesty is unnecessary, Mrs. April. Your achievements as a pioneer doctor in space are well known.

 

[Leandar]

McCoy: And it's nice to know the lady is as intelligent as she is beautiful. Much like the flower she carries.

 

[Enterprise1981]

SARAH: Oh, Doctor, flattery will get you everywhere. But I'm afraid my flower is dying.

 

[Leandar]

Kirk: It's a native of Capella IV, isn't it?

 

[Enterprise1981]

SARAH: Yes, but it has a life span of only a few hours. This morning it was a seedling, within a few hours it will be dead.

 

[Leandar]

Spock: Excuse me, Captain. You asked to be notified when we made visual contact with the Beta Niobe nova.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: Thank you, Mister Spock. Mrs. April, you're about to see one of the galaxy's most beautiful sights, the Beta Niobe's supernova.

 

[Leandar]

Sarah: It is beautiful, but also very... deadly.

 

[LeadHead]

Spock: We're traveling at a safe distance from the nova, Mrs. April.

 

[Leandar]

April: Beta Niobe, you were present when the star first started it's explosion, Jim.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: Yes we were Commodore.

 

[Enterprise1981]

SPOCK: Captain, sensors are picking up an unidentified object traveling at an incredible speed, presently on collision course with the Enterprise.

 

[LeadHead]

Kirk: Put the ship on Red Alert. How fast is it traveling Mister Spock?
