Who Watches the Watchers Line-by-Line

[Orac]

Oji: Then by keeping Palmer safe, we will please the Picard.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

LIKO: And he'll grant us favors in return.

(So much for altruism.)

 

[May 20]

NURIA: Favors?

Liko is a grieving hot mess. He is definitely not in this for altruism.

 

[Kertrats47]

FENTO: It is said that the Overseer is all powerful. He can provide gentle winters, plentiful hunting, fertile crops, anything!

 

[May 20]

LIKO: He could even bring back those who have died.

 

[Athena28]

NURIA: It's agreed. We will save Palmer for the Picard.

 

[May 20]

TROI: I've seen another one, like Palmer.

 

[Orac]

Liko: Another servant of the Picard?

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

TROI: He's headed toward the caves.

 

[CaptVader]

NURIA: Fento, stay and bind Palmer.
(The active villagers leave, following Troi)

[Assembly hall]

RIKER: That knot won't hold. If I may?

 

[Athena28]

FENTO: Please do.

 

[May 20]

RIKER: You need a knot that'll tighten under pressure. Let me show you.

 

[CaptVader]

[Path]

OJI: Father, the sun's reaching its zenith. If I don't go to measure.

 

[Orac]

Liko: Go.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

[Assembly hall]

(Riker is gagging the bound Fento)
RIKER: Forgive me, friend, but the stranger must be set free.

 

[May 20]

[Outside the hall]

OJI: Riker?

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

RIKER: Riker to Enterprise. Lock on and prepare to beam us directly to Sickbay, but hang on for my signal.
