Look out, Enterprise forum, here we come! We've recently concluded our "Sarek Line-by-Line" thread over in the TNG forum. After each completed thread, I'm randomly picking someone who participated to choose the next episode we do. The lucky winner this time around was 5 LeadHead Rings (aka LeadHead)! And LeadHead has chosen "Shuttlepod One" as our next line-by-line adventure! For any unfamiliar with our "game," you are asked to post only a single line (defined as one character speaking without interruption by another character) per message. You can post as often as you like, but someone else must post a line in between your posts. As before, at the conclusion of this thread, I will pick someone at random from among all the participants to choose the next episode we do. Here we go...
[Shuttlepod] REED: The captain said they'd be mapping this asteroid field, but I can't see head nor tails of them.
Trip uses some sort of laser tool to examine circuits Trip: Well, they weren't expecting us back for 3 days. Maybe they finished and went off to do something else.
Reed: Well, with our sensor array down, we won't know when they get back until we see them. Any luck with the com?
Reed: Well, no doubt you'll have your boys take this pod apart piece by piece once it's back in the launch bay.
Trip: I'd be a lot more comfortable having everything in working order by the time Enterprise gets back.
Reed: Well, tinker all you like. I've got a copy of Ulysses here. I doubt I'll even be halfway through it by the time the ship gets back.
Reed: British schools have a core curriculum. It serves to provide a well-rounded education. Sometimes I think you North Americans read nothing but comic books and those ridiculous science fiction novels.
Reed: Oh, if only Doctor Cochrane had been a European, the Vulcans would have been far less reticent to help us. But no, he had to be from Montana. He probably spent his nights reading about Cowboys and Indians.
