Twisted Line-By-Line

[May 20]

(The distortion is affecting the holodeck.)
PARIS: We're not going anywhere.
(Tuvok scans the encroaching distortion while Torres and Kim work at the holodeck controls.)
PARIS: Do you really think it's possible to project a stable holographic force field?

 

[Oddish]

TORRES: "We've tried everything else. Ready? Here we go."
(A forcefield appears, flickers and disappears.)

 

[May 20]

TUVOK: The distortion is unaffected by the force field.

 

[Athena28]

TORRES: We've got to figure out a way to generate a stable field.

 

[sekundant]

CHAKOTAY: B'Elanna, this ring has passed through the shields, crushed the hull, twisted the ship. We'll never get enough power from the holoemitters to stop it.

 

[May 20]

TORRES: What are you saying? We're out of options?

 

[mattman8907]

TUVOK: Perhaps not. So far, we have been unsuccessful in all our attempts to either explain or combat this phenomenon. And according to my calculations, the space we are currently occupying will implode in approximately three minutes seventeen seconds.

(A/N: To paraphase McCoy:Explain how you know that so exactly.)

 

[May 20]

TORRES: You said there was another option.

 

[LeadHead]

Tuvok: We do nothing.

 

[sekundant]

TORRES: Excuse me?

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

(Awesome Trek here! Tons of technobabble AND inexplicable Vulcan logic!)

CHAKOTAY: Are you suggesting we just let it crush us?

 

[May 20]

TUVOK: Precisely.

 

[mattman8907]

(A/N: to quote Jack O'Neill from Stargate SG-1: Well that's a bad plan!)

TORRES: I can't believe I'm hearing this from you.

 

[sekundant]

CHAKOTAY: I agree. It sounds completely illogical.

 

[mattman8907]

TUVOK: On the contrary. When every logical course of action is exhausted, the only option that remains is inaction.

 

[Orac]

Torres: So we're just supposed to sit here and let this thing kill us?

 

[sekundant]

TUVOK: I must point out that at least one attempt we made to reverse the effect, the shock pulse, only made our predicament worse. If we continue desperately improvising solutions, our own efforts may ultimately kill us. On the other hand, there is no definitive evidence to suggest that doing nothing will result in death.

 

[Kertrats47]

JANEWAY: Is dogin do be to gandin!

 

[May 20]

EMH: Captain, please lie down.

 

[mattman8907]

TORRES: What about the Captain? She's dying.
