"The First Duty" Line-by-Line

[LeadHead]

Wesley: He was on my Port Quarter, approximately 50 meters away. We've just received the signal to begin the diamond slot formation. That's Cadet Locarno coming into view now. We're in a 20 degree turn around Titan. We should be coming out of Titans Gravity well about now.

On the screen we see the Ships begin to move upward, also there is a command fro Locarno: 'Follow me in.'

Static fills the screen and then it turns off. Picard is intrigued and confused by this evidence.

 

[Vanyel]

Brand: That is the extent of the data we were able to recover from the flight recorder. Mr. Crusher, would you describe what happened after you left orbit of Titan?

 

[JanewayRulz!]

WESLEY: Once we cleared the moon, Mister Locarno led us into a Yeager loop. Approximately nine seconds later, my proximity alarm went off. I tried to veer away, but it was too late and I was hit. I lost control of my ship. A power coupling exploded in my cockpit. I don't know how, but I managed to activate my escape transporter, and the next thing I remember is finding myself on the emergency evac station on Mimas with the rest of the squadron, except Josh.

 

[LeadHead]

Brand: Do you have anything to add to your testimony?

 

[Leandar]

Wesley: No, sir.

 

[Vanyel]

Satelk: Mr. Crusher, would you describe a Yeager Loop?

 

[Leandar]

Wesley: The ships begin in a diamond slot formation, and climb and loop backwards at a steep angle, and at the peak of the loop, turn over and accelerate in a new direction.

 

[Vanyel]

Satelk: Mr. Crusher, did your team remain in formation through out the loop?

 

[Leandar]

Wesley: Yes, sir.

 

[Vanyel]

Brand: I want you to be absolutely clear on this point Mr. Crusher, before the collision was Nova Squadron in a Diamond Slot formation?

 

[JanewayRulz!]

WESLEY: Yes, sir.

 

[Vanyel]

Satelk: Computer...display Saturn NavCom file: six dash three seven nine. These images were obtained from a navigational control satellite in orbit around Saturn during a standard sensor sweep. Computer freeze image. Magnify sector gamma three and enhance. This image was recorded when your ships moved briefly into the satellites’ sensor range. According to the time index, what you see on the monitor took place seven seconds after Nova Squadron completed the Yeager Loop.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

BRAND: Mister Crusher, are these ships in a diamond slot formation?

 

[Vanyel]

Wesley: No, Sir.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

BRAND: What is your explanation, Mister Crusher?

 

[LeadHead]

Wesley: I have none Sir.

 

[Vanyel]

Wesley's quarters:
Dr. Crusher: Everything's going to be okay Wesley. There must be an explanation for all of this. Data and Geordi are already analyzing the flight recorder and the satellite transmission.

 

[Vulcan Princess]

Wesley: Why?

 

[LeadHead]

Crusher: There must be something wrong with the satellite data. It might have been tampered with.

 

[Vulcan Princess]

Wesley: Mom.
