The Enterprise Incident Line-By-Line

[Kertrats47]

UHURA: Aye, sir.

[Romulan Commander's quarters]

COMMANDER: Return to your station, Sub-commander. The boarding action on the Enterprise will begin with my command. If they resist, destroy her.
(Tal leaves.)

 

[Orac]

After which the Commander says: Execution of state criminals is both painful and unpleasant. I believe the details are unnecessary. The sentence will be carried out immediately after the charges have been recorded.
And then Spock says: I demand the Right of Statement first.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

COMMANDER: You understand Romulan tradition well. The right is granted.

 

[Athena28]

SPOCK: Thank you. I shall not require much time. No more than 20 minutes, I should say.

 

[May 20]

Clever, Spock!

COMMANDER: It should take less time than that to find your ally, who stole the cloaking device. You will not die alone. Recording the Romulan Right of Statement. Proceed, Commander Spock.

 

[sekundant]

SPOCK: My crime is sabotage. I freely admit my guilt. (Scott is continuing to work) The oath I swore as a Starfleet officer is both specific and binding. As long as I wear the uniform, my duty is to protect the security of the Federation. Clearly, your new cloaking device is a threat to that security. I carried out my duty.

 

[mattman8907]

COMMANDER: Everyone carries out his duty. You state the obvious, Spock.

 

[Orac]

Spock: There is no regulation regarding the content of my statement. May I continue?

 

[May 20]

COMMANDER: Very well. Your twenty minutes is almost up.

 

[mattman8907]

[Bridge]

KIRK: Mister Chekov, there's only one Vulcan aboard that ship. He should be easy enough to locate.

 

[sekundant]

CHEKOV: Romulans and Vulcans appear to read almost exactly alike. There is just a slight difference which... Got him, sir.

 

[Orac]

Kirk: Feed the co-ordinates to the transporter room on the double. Have them prepare to beam him aboard on my signal.

 

[May 20]

UHURA: Captain Kirk. Mister Scott is on the intercom for you, sir.

 

[Orac]

Kirk: Go ahead, Scotty.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

[Engineering]

SCOTT: I've got that device installed, but bless me if I know whether it'll work.

[Bridge]

SCOTT [OC]: It's the biggest guess I've ever made.

 

[sekundant]

KIRK: Stand by, Scotty.

 

[Athena28]

CHEKOV: Sir, transporter room has the co-ordinates and is ready for beaming.

 

[May 20]

KIRK: Transporter room, beam Mister Spock aboard.

 

[Orac]

[Meanwhile in the Romulan Commander's quarters]

Spock: Beyond the historic tradition of Vulcan loyalty, there is also the combined Romulan-Vulcan history of obedience to duty.

(She hears the transporter whine and runs around the desk to throw her arms around him.)
