"The Vulcan Trilogy" Line-by-Line!

[Admiral Shran]

Guinan, how much more can you tell us about these creatures?

 

[Vanyel]

Bits and pieces.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Anything would help.

 

[Vanyel]

They’re made up of organic and artificial life which has been developing for thousands of centuries.

 

[Admiral Shran]

The Borg is the ultimate user. They're unlike any threat your Federation has ever faced. They're not interested in political conquest, wealth or power as you know it. They're simply interested in your ship, its technology. They've identified it as something they can consume.

 

[Vanyel]

You brought us here, you exposed us to it and you cost us the lives of our shipmates.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Oh, please.

 

[Vanyel]

Number One. 18 of our people have died. Please tell us this is one of your illusions.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Oh, no. This is as real as your so called life gets.

 

[Vanyel]

This is Lieutenant LaForge, Captain, we have been able to restore power to the shields.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Very good.

 

[Vanyel]

Captain, I have the casualty list coming on the screen.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Cancel. We'll deal with that later.

 

[Vanyel]

Sir, if you’re going to have any dealings with the Borg, now or in the future I think we should find out all we can about them.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Visit their ship?

 

[Vanyel]

In my opinion, that’s the only choice.

 

[Admiral Shran]

Assemble a minimal away team.

 

[Vanyel]

What!?

 

[Admiral Shran]

Mister Worf, transporter room three. Data.

 

[Vanyel]

I wouldn’t go there if I were you.
