Threshold Line-by-Line

[Orac]

[Later in the Doctor's office]

EMH: His body is going through some sort of mutation. His DNA is rewriting itself. To what end, I don't know.

 

[Soaraway]

Captain Janeway: Does this have anything to do with the enzymatic imbalance you found?

 

[Oddish]

HOLODOC: "He's body is going through some sort of mutation. His DNA is rewriting itself. To what end, I don't know."

 

[Orac]

Captain Janeway: Does this have anything to do with the enzymatic imbalance you found?

 

[Soaraway]

(Temporal loop ended)
EMH: No.

 

[Orac]

Captain Janeway: Can you stop it?

 

[Oddish]

to @Soaraway

THE IMAGINATIVE EMH: "So far, nothing has worked. The mutations are unlike anything in Starfleet medical records. His internal organs are being rearranged. Some have atrophied and been absorbed into his body, and there are at least three others that have appeared and have no identifiable function at all."

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

Possible Hungry Zombie Janeway, because she asks: What about his brain?

 

[Rocky6]

EMH: There are neuroelectrical transmutations at work. His synaptic patterns are changing almost every second. But he does still recognise me, the ship. He knows who he is.

 

[Athena28]

JANEWAY: Can I talk to him?

 

[Soaraway]

Holo-Doc: Of course. But I feel I should caution you that while he still is Tom Paris, he's becoming something else as well. His personality is erratic, unpredictable. There are moments of lucidity interspersed with almost deranged behaviour.

 

[Oddish]

JANEWAY (who knows a thing or two about deranged behavior): "I'll keep it in mind."

 

[Soaraway]

[Sickbay]

(Paris is still on the biobed, curled up. His fingers are starting to fuse together and skin is peeling off. His left eye is milky and his ears have gone.)
Lieutenant Thomas Eugene "Tom" Paris: Pretty disgusting, huh?

 

[Orac]

Captain Janeway: You've looked better. How do you feel?

 

[Soaraway]

TP: Like a lab experiment gone wrong.

 

[Orac]

Captain Janeway: Well, we're trying to put that experiment right. The Doctor's working on a way to restore your DNA to its original

 

[Oddish]

EIFFEL TOWER: "Why?"

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

The admirably polite, considering the circumstances, Captain Janeway: Excuse me?

 

[Rocky6]

PARIS: Why? What I'm becoming will probably be better than who I was.

 

[Oddish]

DOGGY MOMMY: "Lieutenant, you know that's not true."
