Twisted Line-By-Line

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Kim: She came into contact with the spatial distortions in the Jefferies Tube. She seemed fine for a couple of minutes, but then she started to fade in and out of consciousness.

[Corridor]

TUVOK: I believe we should go this way, Commander.

 

[SantaTom]

CHAKOTAY: What makes you say that?

 

[mattman8907]

TUVOK: If we are indeed trapped in some sort of labyrinth, then the logical course is to systematically eliminate all routes which do not lead us to our desired destination. The route that remains will be the correct one. Since we have been making a series of right turns, we should continue to do so, until we are certain this path is not the proper one.

(NOTE: Excellent deduction there Sherlock!, Spock would be so proud!)

 

[Holiday Romantic]

CHAKOTAY: There's a flaw in your logic.

 

[sekundant]

TUVOK: How so, Commander?

 

[SantaTom]

CHAKOTAY: You're assuming there's a logical pattern to the maze we're caught in. But so far, I haven't seen any evidence of that.

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Tuvock: Even within chaotic systems, there is a pattern of limited predictability.

 

[mattman8907]

CHAKOTAY: By the time we figure that pattern out, these distortions may have completely overrun the ship.

 

[Holiday Romantic]

TUVOK: That is a possibility.

 

[sekundant]

CHAKOTAY: The important thing is for at least one of us to make it back to the Bridge. So why don't you go your way and I'll go mine? That way we'll increase the chances that one of us will be successful.

 

[May 20]

TUVOK: As you wish, Commander.
(They head in opposite directions, and meet again at the next intersection.)

 

[Athena28]

CHAKOTAY: Tell me something, Tuvok. What does your logic tell you about navigating a maze that's constantly changing shape?

 

[May 20]

[Engineering]

PARIS: Scanners check out.

 

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Torres: Then we're ready to give it a try. Activate the auxiliary pattern buffers.

 

[May 20]

PARIS: Pattern buffers activated.

 

[sekundant]

TORRES: Targeting the Bridge coordinates. Scanners locked. Energise.

[Holodeck - Sandrine's]

(Paris and Torres beam onto the pool table. () Chakotay and Tuvok are also there.)
GAUNT GARY: Would you mind moving your foot, Tommy boy? It's blocking my shot.

 

[SantaTom]

CHAKOTAY: Tell me you already made it to the bridge and you've come back here to give us a status report.

 

[May 20]

TORRES: We locked onto the Bridge coordinates, but this is where we ended up. None of you had any luck either?
