(Explosion) Three Battleships, numerous smaller vessels..
I've faced them before Ensign
Yes ma'am Orders for the fleet ?
Get them out of the system Smaller ships first, larger vessels covering
Admiral, most of the refugees are on the larger vessels
And they give our smaller ships a better chance by fighting
Some of us must survive
Grey circling round for another attack
Prepare to return fire
Ha, ha ha ha ! Flipped that little one end over end
Can we slow down so my insides can catch up?
(Alarm) The Grey have shifted away from the station They're trying to lock onto us
Good, we have their attention
Now what do we do with it ?
Shoot back
Oh, Jorian, always shoot first, ask questions in the morning
We need options, people
(Faisal) Your shortcut worked Captain Still not in weapons range but closing
Never did tell Siroc about that one
(Alarm) Captain, the current is terminating
(Surgant) You had better..
When have I not been in complete control ?
You had trouble controlling that Trill back at the station
Grey powering weapons, locking on to Siroc
Raise shields while I take evasive action
(Faisal) All Grey vessels are offline Captain
Clever.. I never thought he'd get his hands on that one
Faisal, track Siroc's ship, and give me direct co-ordinates when he lands
They're setting down near the Sphere's equator sir
Captain
Yes, Faisal
What did you mean, about that one ?
That's a story I'll have to tell you later, I promise Commander
(Naros) When we get in orbit, I want a full spectrum analysis of the area where Siroc landed
You've got the bridge Commander
(Station public address - Evacuation - German)
Aris ? Aris !? My god, you're alive ! (Station public address - Evacuation - German)
Aris ! (Station public address - Evacuation - German)
Ensign Ibanya. Artim ? (Station public address - Evacuation - German)
Aris, are you all right ? (Station public address - Evacuation - Welsh)
Artim ? (Station public address - Evacuation - Welsh)
Ah, whoa, there ! Not so hard, I'll break (Station public address - Evacuation - Welsh)
Artim, we have to get off the station now (Station public address - Evacuation - Welsh)
The Grey, I know, we're evacuating. Admiral Knapp is out there on some sort of Grey/Federation Hybrid (Station public address - Evacuation - English)
It's not the Grey. None of this is, they didn't make any of it. And the ship Knapp is on it's (Station public address - Evacuation - English)
Wait, what are you talking about ? (Station public address - Evacuation - English)
We need to get off this station, down to Baku, you and I, we need to go now (Station public address - Evacuation - English)
I'm gonna have to check with Ops
We need to get to the Tetrahedron on Baku, while there's still time
Wait, wait, you need to slow down, time before what ?
Before the Hybrid kills us, and everything else in the Briar Patch
We have come to offer assistance
Ah, I don't think we need your help here Maybe.. stocking sickbay or something
Matt
Lieutenant, this is still a starship and I am a Starfleet officer
Your behavior is illogical
(Lefler) What's going on ? Barrett !
Why Andy, it's good to see you up and around We sure could use your help down here S'Tal, the Captain will need you up on the Bridge
I would prefer if I could..
S'Tal, I'll be fine
I'm among friends here, Lieutenant
Well I'm glad that's settled. Now Andy if you'd follow me, I've got something I want you to get started on
This is a mistake We're still trying to get the ship up and running
And Andrew can be of assistance with that
Not if he's secretly feeding our status to the enemy
He has been cleared of Siroc's influence
Tell that to Ro
I'm needed on the bridge
(Comm-Faisal) You shouldn't be down there alone Captain
You have your orders Faisal. Break orbit immediately and get out of the Patch,contact any vessel or outposts you can, and have them do the same
You know I can't do that Captain
I've given you an order Commander, I expect you to follow it
Good luck Faisal It's your ship now
Counselor ?
(Henglaar) Myra ?
Henglaar, we have to get to the bridge
Why ?
Naros has done something rather rash
Well the ad did say it's a Fixer Upper"
Tell him to shut his prattling hole
(Vorina) Oh don't blame him for your lack of humour lovey
Children, children, cease your bickering This is where we must part ways for a time
I must get young Nevin here over to one of those towers You all, have to make sure that Tolian hasn't sent out a bunch of overzealous security teams to stop us
And if he hasn't ? Sent a team after us ?
Of course he has. This close to our victory, he has to make some useless effort to stop us And we have this young man here
I want the Bajoran
When I'm done with him, you can have what's left
Come Nevin, our destiny awaits
Jenna !
We're ok, they're just getting a little desperate
Will, talk to me about the weapons
(Martinez) The Grey technology we brought over and put in the hybrid, it was modular, we never broke it down to its component parts
We were left making.. educated guesses about where it went and what it did Sometimes we got lucky, and it worked
But when we powered it up..
Powered them from where ? All I see is matter/antimatter mix
That's just for a backup The Grey components require much more power than that
We pulled over a Grey auxiliary generator It appears to function.. hyper-dimensionally
An Omega Molecule ?
But with none of the technology you'd expect to harness an omega molecule, just an amplifier
So what are we running on now ?
(Dao) The hi-band subspace wave amplifications of the Omega Star at the centre of the Dyson Sphere
So I'm mainlining an Omega Star right now ?
You could say that, yes
(Laugh) I like it, does it come in hunter green ?
Back to the weapons (Explosion)
These guys can really take the fun out..
The weapon systems are tied into a dormant AI
Not Grey. Older. Something the Grey co-opted later
We think. We don't know for sure one way or the other Activate the weapon systems and we lose other systems All the other systems
(Dao) We're pretty sure this AI won't like the Grey, but it probably won't like us, either
So we hope it wakes up on the right side of the bed ?
Yes sir
Is there anyway to bypass the system with the AI ?
We're not even sure why half of this works I'm not ready to start poking around in there
(Alarm) One of the Battleships is shifting targets towards the station
If they can't hit us they can still hold the station hostage
Will, warm up the weapons
(Henglaar) Where is he ?
Captain Naros beamed down to the surface
Alone ?
Those were his orders. He also ordered the ship out of the Patch along with anyone we could bring with us
Tolian's trying to evacuate the Briar Patch ? What's down there that's so dangerous ?
He didn't say He relied upon me to follow his orders
And is that your intention ?
If things are as dire as he implies, I cannot simply run away and save only those I happen across, I've assembled a team in transporter room five
Henglaar Siroc won't be alone, and he has Ro
You're counting on the fact that I'm going to let you go, and that I'll just have to tag along with you
You like it when I take you for granted
We'll be joining the away team The girls won't be happy
Keep an eye on them, they're in sickbay
(Henglaar) Don't believe a word they say
Idle hands, Commander Those girls have a unique ability for trouble
Good luck
Uh, ah
They're forming up
Commander Martinez ?
Ready sir
(Knapp) Engage
(Aster) Engineering controls not responding
Sensors and Comm locked out as well
I'm just a passenger now guys
Thank you all for getting the weapons working Now let's figure out a way to turn them off
Always hiding, hiding here, hiding there..
(Henglaar) I know I'm going to regret this Myra
Henglaar, you regret everything, you wear it like a season, Fall, Spring and Henglaar
You do better by hiding than by blundering
So we're going down to the surface ?
Your uncle gets lost in his own office, and the Counselor's most recent address was Sickbay We have to watch out for them
Oh, I hate babysitting
Why doesn't that surprise me ?
(Shelby) Robin, what's our status ?
I have enough power to give you shields, impulse, or weapons
Did I hear that correctly ? One of the three ?
We might do better if we had a little more time
Keep at it Robin Admiral Knapp has things well in hand
I really apologize Admiral But he was so insistent that we go
We'll concern ourselves with that later, Ensign Aris, what can you tell me ?
Uh, sorry Admiral, Aris kind of spaced out after he knew that we were going to the Tetrahedron
I think he's attempting to contact Admiral Knapp's ship or something
Very well, tell me what Aris said to you
He said that the Grey didn't build any of it The Tetrahedrons, the Dyson Sphere, their ships
Then who did ?
There's more, Admiral He said that Admiral Knapp's ship is.. dangerous
The Grey would agree
(Artim) That's just it Admiral
Aris said that the technology that runs that ship is an artificial intelligence, like..
A remnant
Right, like a remnant from a race that controlled the Briar Patch and this whole region of space millennia ago, they built everything
Where is Aris getting this information ?
Storage.. shiny bubbles..
Uh, when he was more coherent, Aris said that he plugged into the primary memory storage when the Grey accessed his mind to speak to Shelby last year
Memory Storage ? From their ships ?
From their minds They're not sentient beings Admiral, not really
They're a very sophisticated organic computer, designed to guard the Dyson Sphere by the same race that built the AI of that ship
But they've been running for so long, and their programming is so.. sophisticated
Intelligence.. is angry, vengeful
How does that help us ?
The Grey use only a tiny part of their vessels' capabilities
And Knapp's ship ?
I think that whatever runs Knapp's ship, it's got everything, full control
Thank you Ensign, I'll take action here Contact me if you have more information
Get me Captain Johns and Commander Darwin We have a problem
And find out what happened to Shelby !
I'm not going to have this station laid siege, three times in the same 24 hours
Myra get down !
Myra, take cover
Ahh
Is it me or are we running out of Grey ?
We're running out of Grey
Be nice to say we have a handle on the situation when we do
Oh Jorian, lying to yourself only hurts you
In this case it's not safe for anyone to be in range of this little monster
She's not a monster, she's misunderstood
Jorian ?
No access to Comms.. Admiral Nechayev is in the dark
Uh, hi Commander Faisal asked us to.. uh
He's not buying it
Relax
(Whack)
You know, together we almost make a whole person
It's called teamwork
You're starting to rub off, I need to wash
(Johns) We can't take any chances
(Darwin) Not after a day like today
What's your plan Admiral ?
(Nechayev) We'll keep some of the more powerful vessels behind and attempt to destroy or disable the Hybrid.. if it becomes a danger
(Darwin) And Admiral Knapp and his crew ?
(Nechayev) We've been unable to establish communications of any kind I'm afraid they are lost to us
We're battle-ready right now Commander Johns and Commander Darwin have vessels full of refugees from the station
(Johns) I don't see how effective we can be
(Nechayev) We've seen what the vessels can do
Yes, we have Don't throw away thousands of lives when the 93 that we have here can do the job
(Nechayev) Very well. Joseph, James, take the fleet into the currents and head for Starbase 621
(Nechayev) Rally whatever vessels you can there and return Between the station and Excelsior, we will try to hold out
Did Commander Lefler upgrade her power estimate Captain ?
So we're lying to Nechayev ?
I said this ship was battle-ready, and you'd better believe that it is
If I have to drive right through that thing I am not risking those refugees
Moment of truth
C'mon girl.. stand down
Jenna, any response ?
(Dao) Systems are powering up again, 30 seconds
Commander Martinez, we have a warp core
Aye sir
I want to blow it up
This bridge can serve as an escape pod Admiral, but..
But this beastie's pretty trigger-happy
The Admiral knows what he's asking of us
Anybody have another option ?
I guess that means I'd better find the engine room
Right back here behind me, Commander
Need some company ?
Two groups Three went that way, two went that way
Two, that'd be Henglaar and Myra
Are you coming ?
We need to pull loose, Mr. Wozniak
Thrusters are firing, we're just impacted
(Shelby) Robin, how are we doing ?
Two out of three
Impulse and weapons, I need them now !
We have them Captain
(Nechayev) Transfer power to the shields Rotate and increase the power facing the enemy
(Ops Officer) We're scoring direct hits Admiral but I don't see a noticeable drop in their shield energy
(Nechayev) Keep firing, give the others time
Barrett to bridge, I have an idea
Go ahead Andy
I was scanning the Hybrid and I'm getting some really strange readings. I don't think their power source is actually inside the ship
Where is it ?
I think it's being beamed to them on a subspace frequency I've never seen before. It's almost like they're remotely tapped into a star or something
Robin ?
I'm looking at it Captain
Captain we can map this wavelength And I think we can block it, or at least interrupt it
Do it now We're lining up for an attack
Captain, is this wise ? Given what we know about Lieutenant Barrett
It's not like I have a choice Mr. McCabe S'Tal, do we have the amplitude ?
I have transferred the harmonics to the deflector array
Ready Mr. McCabe ?
Phasers ready, aye
Fire !
Admiral, the Excelsior's found a way to disrupt the amplifier I may be able to break through and regain some kinda control
Can't we just wave a white flag outside and let that be the end of it ?
It worked, Robin, good job Mr. Barrett Mr. Wozniak, lay in a pursuit course, offensive pattern beta
(Explosion)
(Siroc) Now, what connection Caleb-Yu space is required to access N dimensional space ?
Equal parts cow's milk and warm saline solution
(Nevin's voice) The Nth dimensional space requires a co-efficient of N/v2
Thank you, Nevin. The next time I'm looking for an enema I'll be sure to keep your first suggestion in mind
While I do find you amusing, you must understand that while you have those devices implanted in your skull, and I have this one in mine, you will answer my questions
Yes, of course you'll fight me to the bitter end Your friend Barrett made the same promise And yet here you are, by his hand
I don't blame Andy
Ah, yes, Mr. Barrett. His resistance was breathtaking. Completely irrelevant, but breathtaking
What are we doing ?
I think it's best if you don't know I understand you have an overdeveloped sense of guilt
Silan, next time I sound extremely confident about something, just hit me over the head with something blunt and heavy
We followed the wrong trail
Yup
There's a good chance we're walking into a trap
Uh huh
You're supposed to be the smart one
Thanks for rubbing it in
(Silan) Huh
What are you thinking ?
I'm thinking that this intersection is a perfect place for an ambush
(Fight noises)
I thought we were looking for Naros
We are looking for Naros
Then why are we following Surgant
We'll ask him where Naros is Among other things
There is more at play here Myra than your need for revenge
Ooh
You should have stayed away Myra (Laugh) I didn't want to have to kill you
Arrrggh !
Milo, Milo, don't you remember the proverb about a woman scorned ?
Arrrggh
I think your mind raping me falls into the category, don't you?
Just shoot the creature and be done with it
She's afraid to
(Traya) You see, Vorina has this thing about remembering to charge her weapons
Shut up !
Gotcha thinking.. Did I remember to charge my gun ?
(Traya) What day is this ? Is green a spring, or summer colour ?
Quiet !
Finish this !
Do it Vorina, Betras has given you your orders
I take orders from no one
Arrgh !
Ah
Ergh
Idiot
Insult me again.. speak ill of me again..
I was talking to myself
Mm-hmm
Allying myself with you pitiful excuse..
Arrgh !
Alright, children, you've had your fun..
What are you doing ? (Fight noises)
Are you kidding ? I'm gonna put my foot so far up that.. (Fight noises)
Hey, we won baby, we've beat the bad guys (Fight noises)
Lets go get your uncle out of whatever trouble he's gotten himself into and get outta here (Fight noises)
You planned this (Fight noises)
(Traya) Duh ! (Fight noises)
Don't duh me, you weren't the one with the gun pointed at you (Fight noises)
Where were you ? Oh yeah, curled on the floor, big mouth for a little mouse (Fight noises)
(Coughing)
Report
Structural damage to the primary hull, weapons and shields offline
(McCabe) Wozniak's unconscious
Shelby to Engineering
Here Captain, we still have main power in the secondary hull, I suggest..
Saucer separation, evacuate the primary hull (Klaxon)
(Lefler) It's just you guys up there right now
Meet me on the Battle Bridge, separation in 60 seconds
(Lefler) We'll meet you there
We need a helmsman, pick him up McCabe
I can't access the warp core, pathway 471 has been locked out
I'm trying to re-establish using auxiliary systems
Jenna, is that wise ?
If I can figure a way to hot-wire this thing you'll be calling me Solomon
(Explosion) (Scream)
Jenna !
Ok, I got ya Jenna
You old softy, screaming like a girl
That was you
You lie..
Aren't we a pair ?
Remember, when we'd be the only two having tea in 10-Forward ?
You gonna tell me another story about your six foot tall rabbit ?
You can only go to that well so often
I'm glad you're here Will Without the tea's fine
Replicators on the bridge next time, I promise
I'm getting a power surge back here, looks like she's powering up for another attack
Yeah.. next time
Nevin I can't thank you enough I have what I need now, and I do appreciate it
(Siroc) This key has no effect on the Grey vessels Or should I say, on the vessels the Grey appropriated from an ancient and powerful people, my people
No, this little artifact shuts down the Grey themselves Turns them off like turning off a light switch It's the consequence of being an artificial construct
Ro Nevin, I take my leave of you, and every other dreary aspect of this pitiful little universe
You look a little out of breath dear
Oh, this has been coming for a long time love
I should never have stomached your insolence
You always knew where the real power lay
(Laugh) What are you implying Orion ?
Do you believe you have a powerful ally the rest of us lack ?
When I've finished with you, Siroc and I..
(Laughing) You ?.. Siroc ?..
(Laughing)
Oh, oh dear (Laughing)
(Laughing)
So confident you, setback after setback
What setbacks ?
Siroc said we would get to the Dyson Sphere, we did
He said not to be concerned about the Grey, they were not a concern, what ?
And now he says he'll return, with riches, power, what ?
And he will !
And your services, are no longer, required
(Laughing) It is you who have been my most loyal partner
How ?
(With venom) You only for whom this should be reserved, don't tell anyone, it's our secret, you're my favourite
What a foolish, naive child you are
Did you not realise ?
How dare you eavesdrop on our private..
(Betras) I did not need to hear him say it to you
(Raised voice) He had already said it to me
(Betras - Raised voice) To the betazoid, to your little worm, what's his name ?
You are a fool
I.. am a fool
We are all fools
And now I trust we will die for our foolishness
Allow me, to speed you on your w-ay
Ah
This behaviour has been beneath me
I am too long from my people, and Siroc is the reason
He has stolen away both of our dignity
But fear not, he shall not go unpunished
Sadly your own.. how did you say ?.. services.. will no longer be required
(Explosion)
(Artim-Comm) Ensign Ibanya to DS-12 Come in Admiral
(Coughing)
(Artim-Comm) Admiral Nechayev
(Darwin) Captain Johns, recommend attack pattern Riker-One
Agreed We'll give 'em something else to shoot at
Siroc, this whole dimension is barren, a massive singularity, a giant sink you'll suck us all into if you go through with this and collapse that star
That's your opinion I see it as simply requiring a catalyst
Your people are dead and gone, killed by their own hubris
You've never proved that ! Our excavations on Centris III could have been interpreted many ways
Perhaps it was the parasitic nature of this universe that killed them
Your people were the parasites, creating the Patch, feeding off of the civilizations that grew here
As well they should As well they may again
You'll destroy the whole universe, trillions of lives, families, futures, all on a.. not even a theory, a dream
Many have died for less
Tolian, I just don't care. I've been here for 1342 of your tedious little years and I'm going home
Johns and Darwin are trying to stall but they're getting their clocks cleaned
The primary hull ?
We are free and clear to maneuver
Ops read full power to weapons and engines
Andy, just don't let 'em hit us
(Artim-Comm) Ensign Ibanya to any Starfleet vessel
We have you Ensign
(Artim-Comm) Captain Shelby, I can't raise DS-12
(Shelby) The station is in a bad way Ensign, what's your situation ?
Aris has been able to.. meld with the Tetrahedron
Aris, this is Captain Shelby We need your help up here
I understand Captain, I may have something
I'm sorry I left you. When you found the sphere, found the records of your race..
Apologies will get you nowhere Tolian I simply don't care
Of course you care I can only imagine how horrible that experience was
(Siroc) You were my friend, you were the only friend I had ever found
(Siroc) I lived in a gutter, in filth
You took me out of that, made me into something
You had some responsibility to me
I had a greater responsibility to the beings of this universe
I never had the chance to make that choice
You set me on this course Tolian You cast me back into the gutter
You took away any other option And I've given all the time to this universe I intend to
Goodbye Tolian. I wish I could say that I would miss you, but we've both lied enough for one lifetime, haven't we ?
(Ro) There's something that non-technical people always forget
Networking is a two-way street
Your data's working Aris. We've been able to fine-tune their power harmonics but their ship is still too fast
The last of the refugees has left the system Captain
We did that much
I'm trying to isolate the frequency of their propulsion system
(Aris) It's always shifting, they always feared their Grey creations somehow accessing the power of their machines
I really don't need a history lesson
Something's happening at the Sphere
Mr. Barrett, do whatever it takes to keep us on their tail Mr. McCabe, fire at will
Traya ? Silan ?
You were with Glinn Betras
Ahhh
(Traya) Pelas
That was quite a show. Last time I saw you, you were letting me be kidnapped by a known criminal
No, I'm sorry, I didn't know what to do ! I've been looking for you with your father
He killed the lackey
He tried to help me
I tried to help you ! He shot at me
You surprised him !
Enough, let's just get out of here and find your uncle
Commander Faisal this is Traya Knapp, I'm on the surface, I need the co-ordinates of Henglaar and Myra
I've been searching for you for weeks
I love you
You'll be loving her alone in the cold if you don't move it !
(Explosion) Inconsistent power fluctuations Excelsior's trying something, but without..
Without comms we can't coordinate
These coils are the weak point
(Aster) Someone could rupture the coils, set the warp core critical, and the rest escape through the bridge module
Someone ?
All or nothing Corey Either we all get..
Not your decision to make
But it's yours ? Jenna was right, We all knew..
Nobody has to die Jorian
Apparently one more does
(Knapp-comm) How are we doing back there gentlemen ?
Almost there sir, get the blast-doors ready
I'm not leaving you
Oh, come on
I'm staying with you
We split up a long time ago, we just didn't know it
Martinez, Jorian's gonna need a little help
(Explosion, Alarm, Coughing) Core's unstable, we have to shut it down
I'd like to pretend this is difficult for me, Milo. Pretend I haven't wanted to do this ever since you threw away everything in order to serve a truly evil man like Siroc
You're going away Milo, for a long..
Myra
Yes Milo ?
You made me do this
No ! Myra !
Henglaar..
Myra no
Henglaar
Oh
Henglaar
(Crying)
(Fight noises)
What's the matter Surgant ?
You trying to kill me with your mind ?
Before I kill you
(CRACK)
I'm sorry Siroc But this gateway's a danger that has to be stopped permanently
Lieutenant I apologize to you as well Commander Faisal..
Has been looking frantically for you She never left orbit
Oh ?
(Ro) Siroc plugged himself into the entire Dyson Sphere Captain So I'm plugged in too
If she can beam me out, she can take you
Somebody has to be here to finish it And I don't think we can trust Siroc to do it
Siroc's people set up a lot of fail-safes to keep this thing open Once you start mucking with it, it'll fight back
I'll do it quickly Thank you Mr. Ro
Raa
(Evil laugh)
No power to the shields
Hard to port
Impulse engines are sluggish
(Alarm) The Hybrid is breaking off its attack
(Martinez) Power increase to the fold engines, she's leaving
Then so are we, eject the Bridge module !
(Dao) Corey's still in there !
(Power up, Clamps releasing)
Oh, sh..
Ah
(Faisal-Comm) Lieutenant Ro Lieutenant Ro, I see you but I can't get a lock
I read you Commander, boosting my signal
(Faisal-Comm) I'm reading one additional lifesign
Just one to beam up, Commander
Energize
Artim, something's happening with the Tetrahedron
I know, I know, It's sapping our power
(Alarm) It's causing the seal to fail !
Main power is failing and auxiliary isn't kicking in
Transporters ?
I can't get the system to initialize
Estimate Admiral Knapp's module will lose structural integrity in 126 seconds.. mark
Captain, the shuttlecraft
They have internal power
(Barrett and McCabe together) I'll go, Captain
It's a two-man job, move it !
Three minutes, 40 seconds
We're running out of time
We can still initialise the transporter system..
This panel has power, I can access the Shuttle from here
You get the maintenance panel, I'll trigger the transporter
How's your jaw ?
Mmm, I think I preferred the kiss
(Aster) Don't read anything into that, I was just softening you up
Mmm, it worked
You know Corey, I'm, I'm not that different than I was
Yes you are, we both are It's nobody's fault, nobody failed
You think I'm worried about who's fault it is ? Am I that shallow huh ? I've lived 18 lifetimes, have I mentioned that lately ?
You must have spent that time in a cave Social skills of a raccoon
I'm ready
We're running out of time !
I can't
Yes, go, go
Energizing
Corey, I..
Me too
(McFarland) Next time Will wants to tinker with something Jorian, we say ?
(Everyone) No !
What does it mean ?
I think it means, you're gonna have to figure out what you're gonna do for the rest of your life
We will rebuild this place
Not a doubt in my mind
I never put through your resignation
There's a place for you here If that's what you want
Admiral, what I want more than anything Is to see my daughter
I think I can arrange that
(No dialog)
(Bird song)
(Shelby) Are we all here ?
Almost
(Faisal) Here, here
(Shelby) And you Jorian ?
You know the Captain's eventually going to have to ask if someone objects. You still have time to back out
(Shelby) Sorry Jorian, no one gets to back out
You look good as a Bajoran
Thanks
You know, one trip to the holodeck and you can put ridges on
I've got something better in mind
(Chuckle)
Before we begin, there's something that I'd like to say
As you begin your new lives together, I can't help but think of this day as an ending
(Shelby) The conclusion to a journey, that most of us started seven years ago
(Shelby) We watched Corey and Nevin's relationship begin, and what appeared, end
We watched them separate and grow with other friends and other lovers
(Shelby) Our lives went on, through its victories and its bitterest of defeats
(Shelby) We suffered the loss of friends, and we rejoiced when they returned to us
(Shelby) Through all that, something held us together Something, that even in the worst of times, made us whole
(Shelby) We had each other, of course. Through the storm, through the cold, through the long night, we had one another
(Shelby) Some of those who made the journey with us, will not be here today to see its end
(Shelby) We're left to wonder what they might think of it
I can tell you what I believe, that the joining of these two souls, is an outward expression of what has held us together all of these years
(Shelby) Hope for the future. Love for one another
(Shelby) And the desire to make the lives of those around us just a little bit better
(Shelby) So, to all of you, my friends, a reverent wish
Peace and Long Life
May the bonds of family and home, bring you together, through this world and the world yet to come

"What's good for the goose..", Admiral
I should take this to mean ?
The Excelsior, is ready for duty sir
And strangely enough I have something
Nothing too taxing of course, a little exploring
New worlds sir ?
New cultures, new civilizations I want you to go where no-one has gone before
Shall we do so, boldly sir ?
It's a whole new galaxy out there Elizabeth Why don't you go let them know we'd like to meet them ?
Anything wrong Captain ? You seem alarmingly chipper this morning. We're just leaving boring old spacedock
How could we have found any of this boring ?
Mmm, boring's not so bad in small doses
I've had enough of that medicine, thank you
Captain, we have permission to depart
Take her out Mr. Barrett, one quarter impulse
Quarter impulse, aye
Do you care where we're headed ?
I know you're dying to tell me
Otter people. Called Lutrans. Amphibious Mostly underwater. They were deep in the Patch, no previous contact
Just what the doctor ordered
Course laid in Captain
Engineering reports ready for warp drive Captain
