"Body and Soul" Line-by-Line

[LeadHead]

Hi there!

We've recently concluded our "Remember Me" Line by line 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 Athena28! And Athena28 has selected "Body and Soul" to be our next line by line episode! So, activate your mobile emitter and get the Delta Flyer ready for launch!

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 or my butler, CoveTom ( the next move is yours!) will pick someone at random from among all the participants to choose the next episode we do.

Once upon a time, The Doctor was working in the aft section of the Delta Flyer. Alas, the Delta Flyer shakes!

Doctor: Ensign Kim, please try to hold us steady. This material is extremely fragile!

 

[Vanyel]

Kim: Sorry Doc, I'm doing the best I can.

 

[Alienesse]

EMH [OC]: Maybe I should've insisted

[Delta Flyer - aft compartment]

EMH: on a more experienced pilot, like Mister Paris.

 

[Vanyel]

Kim: I'd give anything to trade places with him right now.

 

[BlueStuff]

EMH [OC]: Seven, can you join me, please?

 

[Athena28]

SEVEN: On my way.

 

[Admiral Shran]

KIM: I don't know if I can take three more days of chasing comets with him.

 

[Alienesse]

SEVEN: The time might pass more easily if we disable his vocal processor.

 

[Athena28]

EMH: l thought you might find this interesting

 

[Enterprise1981]

SEVEN: Pre-animate biomatter.

 

[Athena28]

EMH: Look deeper.

 

[Vulcan Princess]

SEVEN: An undeveloped nucleus contained in a cytoplasmic matrix.

 

[Athena28]

EMH: And buried deep inside that nucleus--primitive strands of DNA. The beginnings of life, Seven.

 

[Enterprise1981]

SEVEN: What's your point?

 

[Athena28]

EMH: When I look at this, I don't see a mere cell. I see the potential for literature and art, empires and kingdoms

 

[Vulcan Princess]

SEVEN: Perhaps your visual subroutines are malfunctioning.

 

[Enterprise1981]

EMH: Someday this cytoplasmic matrix may fall into the primordial sea of a distant world where it could ignite an evolutionary process. Eons from now, a creature not unlike you could emerge, look up at the stars and ask, Who am I? How did I come to be? It's the miracle of creation, Seven. Doesn't that excite you? Ensign Kim, I asked you to hold us steady.

[Delta Flyer - cockpit]


KIM: We're under attack! This is the Federation ship Delta Flyer. We're on a peaceful mission. Hold your fire.

 

[Admiral Shran]

RANEK [OC]: You're transporting a suspected photonic insurgent through Lokirrim space. Drop your shields and prepare to be boarded.
