The Forgotten Line-By-Line

[CaptVader]

DEGRA: What caused his death?

 

[mattman8907]

ARCHER: Some kind of cellular degeneration. It started the moment he was taken off his ship.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

DEGRA: Perhaps your atmosphere was toxic to him.

 

[sekundant]

PHLOX: I believe our universe was toxic to him. His species evolved in a different dimension with a different set of physical laws. He simply couldn't exist here.

 

[mattman8907]

ARCHER: That's why his species built the Spheres, to make our space more compatible for themselves.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

PHLOX: I believe he was a test subject sent here to see if they were succeeding.

 

[sekundant]

DEGRA: And if they are, you're saying the Expanse will no longer be compatible for us.

 

[May 20]

PHLOX: Or any of us.

 

[mattman8907]

ARCHER: We're destined to form an alliance to stop them, but if you destroy Earth that'll never happen. You'll be condemning your own race to extinction.

[Taylor's quarters]

(Tucker has woken in his own quarters and gone to Taylor's wrecked quarters, looking for inspiration. He finds a broken picture in a frame.)
TAYLOR: Trouble sleeping, sir?

 

[mattman8907]

TUCKER: Taylor! You were killed. This whole section decompressed. Did you find a sealed compartment?

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

TAYLOR: No.

 

[May 20]

TUCKER: Then how? (realizes) You're dead, and I'm dreaming.

 

[Athena28]

TAYLOR: The letter. How's it going?

 

[sekundant]

TUCKER: I got as far as 'I regret to inform you.'

 

[mattman8907]

TAYLOR: That's a little dry, sir.

 

[May 20]

TUCKER: You're not real. You don't have to call me sir.

 

[Kertrats47]

TAYLOR: So what's the problem? The letter doesn't have to be long, the captain told you that. You can't think of anything.

 

[May 20]

TUCKER: I wish it was that simple.

 

[sekundant]

TAYLOR: I served on Enterprise for three years. You pulled me off the Saratoga to be on your team. Captain Brody was pretty angry at you.
