Twisted Line-By-Line

[Athena28]

KIM: Can't we try both?

 

[sekundant]

TORRES: It's much too dangerous to have someone working at the navigational array during a shock pulse.

 

[Oddish]

PARIS: "Besides, this ship is so contorted, there's no reason to expect we'd have any navigational control."

 

[Kertrats47]

CHAKOTAY: All right, B'Elanna. Let's give your plan a shot. You...

 

[LeadHead]

Tuvok: Commander Chakotay.

 

[Kertrats47]

CHAKOTAY: Yes, Lieutenant?

 

[LeadHead]

Tuvok: I feel compelled to point out that in my many years of experience as Captain Janeway's tactical officer, she often demonstrated a tendency to follow my-

 

[Oddish]

CHAKOTAY: "In case you haven't noticed, Captain Janeway's not in any condition to make decisions. I'm in command. Is that understood?"

 

[Kertrats47]

TUVOK: Yes, sir.

 

[sekundant]

CHAKOTAY: Good. B'Elanna, you and Harry get down to Engineering. Evacuate whoever's on duty, then initiate the warp pulse. Move it.

[Engineering]

KIM: Dilithium matrix stable. Matter-antimatter reactor is at eighty percent of critical.

 

[May 20]

TORRES: Let's keep it that way!

 

[Athena28]

KIM: Warp core pressure is at 36 megapascals and rising.

 

[LeadHead]

Torres: When it reaches 53, it'll trigger the shock pulse. We should get out of here by the time it hits 50!

 

[sekundant]

KIM: Acknowledged! Pressure at 41 mega pascals and rising. I'm reading a micro fracture in the Dilithium matrix.

 

[Orac]

Torres: Attempting to compensate.

 

[LeadHead]

Kim: Fracture sealed. 44 megapascals!

 

[Orac]

[Meanwhile on the Holodeck]

Chakotay: They're heating up the warp core. They must be close to initiating the shock burst. Everybody take cover.

[Engineering]

KIM: Forty seven! Forty eight! Forty nine!

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

TORRES: Let's move!

[Corridor]

(They run. There is a Whumph! then everything goes still.)

TORRES: Well, in spite of Tuvok's dire predictions, we haven't blown the ship to pieces, have we?
