"Year of Hell" Line-by-Line

[MickJo1701]

Annorax: If I told you to count the stars in the cosmos... would the task ever be complete?

 

[Enterprise1981]

OBRIST: Sir?

 

[Hoshi3]

ANNORAX: Our attempts may be sufficient. They may be even relatively successful, but they will never be complete. Choose your words with more precision.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

OBRIST: My apologies.

 

[LeadHead]

Annorax: What were the exact results?

 

[JanewayRulz!]

OBRIST: The Krenim Imperium has been restored to power. Our territory now includes eight hundred and forty nine inhabited worlds spanning five thousand parsecs.

 

[LeadHead]

Annorax: The, er, colony on Kyana Prime. That was restored as well?

 

[JanewayRulz!]

(Leadhead... did you miss two lines?)

OBRIST: The Krenim Imperium has been restored to power. Our territory now includes eight hundred and forty nine inhabited worlds spanning five thousand parsecs.

ANNORAX: Counter indications?
OBRIST: Negligible. No superior enemy forces, no unexpected diseases. Calculations indicate a ninety eight percent restoration. Our race is thriving once again.

ANNORAX: The, er, the colony at Kyana Prime. That was restored as well?

 

[Orac]

Obrist: No, sir. In this time line the Imperium does not extend that far.

 

[Hoshi3]

ANNORAX: Then our mission has failed. Begin calculations for the next incursion.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

OBRIST: Sir, we've just accomplished the impossible. A ninety eight percent restoration! Another incursion, even a minor one, could undermine everything. We should dismantle this weapon and rejoin our people.

 

[Leandar]

Annorax: No, not until every colony, every individual, every blade of grass is restored.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

OBRIST: You said yourself our task will never be complete. Please, we should be satisfied with what we have accomplished. For two hundred years, we have never come this close.

 

[Athena28]

ANNORAX: Not close enough.

 

[Hoshi3]

OBRIST: If I may speak my thoughts, Many among the crew are convinced that you have lost your objectivity. They think your quest for precision is unrealistic. Sir, we will never restore one hundred percent of what we had. We can manipulate the time continuum for another ten centuries. It will never happen.

 

[Athena28]

ANNORAX: Return to your station and begin a new set of calculations. Is that clear?

 

[JanewayRulz!]

OBRIST: Perfectly.

 

[Athena28]

ANNORAX: You surprise me, Obrist. After so many years you still perceive time through conventional eyes. Never is a word that has no meaning here. As long as we stay on this vessel, protected from space time, we have all eternity to accomplish our mission.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

OBRIST: Of course, sir.

 

[Athena28]

Day 32 [Bridge]

JANEWAY: Return fire.
