The Killing Game Line-by-Line

[CaptVader]

CHAKOTAY: How's it going?

 

[Orac]

7: I'm modifying this explosive device to emit a photonic burst. It will be harmless to organic tissue but it should disrupt all holographic activity within twenty metres.

 

[CaptVader]

CHAKOTAY: We'll try to buy you some time.

(Janeway gets into the Jefferies tube network before Turanj catches up with her. He doubles back, feels the hatch, then opens it.)

 

[Orac]

[Bridge]

Hirogen: I'll be in Sickbay.

(Kim is left unsupervised. He does his bit on Auxilliary Systems 0470. Charging Holo-Emitters. Holo-Emitter Overload Initiated. The countdown starts at 9 minutes.)

 

[CaptVader]

[Sainte Claire - Street]

NAZI: Schnell! Schell!

 

[May 20]

CHAKOTAY: They're closing in. Seven!

(Seven pulls the pin on her modified grenade, stands to throw it and gets shot. A GI tries to get to it, then it goes off and he disappears, along with the weapons. The Nazi's weren't close enough.)

 

[Orac]

Kapitan: Surrender.

(Janeway limps to a place where a holographic soldier no longer has any legs. She drags him back and they reappear, and she carries on. Meanwhile, 7 is helped to her feet. Real life thunder rumbles overhead.)

Kapitan: Verdamt. Bring that one to me. I will spare your life for now, but only because you are carrying a German child.

 

[CaptVader]

[Corridor]

(Turanj hears a noise and turns down a side corridor. Janeway is in the shadows, behind fallen debris. Turanj stands near the fallen soldier.)

JANEWAY: Please don't do this. I can be of use to you. I can help you repair the ship. Don't kill me.

(Turanj steps forward. His rifle starts to disappear, he looks down and she hits him with a metal pipe. Then she picks up the rifle and he runs away.)

 

[Orac]

[Sainte Claire - Street]

(A firing squad is formed.)

Kapitan: Against the wall. Your deaths will serve the glory of the Reich. Prepare to fire.

 

[CaptVader]

(A swarm of Klingons burst through the barricade. The Nazi soldiers go to meet them. Turanj looks down on the melee.)

NEELIX: Fight on, warriors! This way!

 

[Athena28]

EMH: Qapla', gentlemen. Qapla'!

 

[CaptVader]

[Corridor]

JANEWAY: This hunt is over. Tell your hunters to stand down. I'll use this if you force me to.

(Turanj steps forward. Janeway shoots him and he falls backwards into the holodeck, down three decks. Seven seconds to holo-emitter overload.)

 

[May 20]

[Sainte Claire - Street]

(All the holographic characters vanish.)

CHAKOTAY: It's over. Let's go.

 

[CaptVader]

Captain's log, stardate 51715.2. The damage to Voyager has been extreme. Both sides have taken heavy casualties, and it's clear that no one is going to win this conflict. The fighting has reached a standstill and the remaining Hirogen have agreed to negotiate a truce.

 

[May 20]

[Cargo Bay two]

YOUNG HIROGEN: What is this?

 

[CaptVader]

JANEWAY: An optronic datacore. You can use it to create holodeck technology on your own vessels. I made a promise with your leader before he died, that I would give this knowledge to the Hirogen. Take it.

 

[Orac]

Young Hirogen: His ideas were unconventional. I do not share them.

 

[CaptVader]

JANEWAY: Was he any more unconventional than you are? Calling a ceasefire with your prey? Only a few days ago, the thought of speaking with us on equal terms would've been inconceivable, but here we are. Accept this trophy. You can use it to create a new future for your people. At the very least, you can hang it on your bulkhead.

(She hands it to him, and he bows his head briefly. Janeway returns the gesture and the Hirogen leave Voyager to sail on alone.)

 

[Orac]
