North Star Line-by-Line

[Athena28]

Hello, Welcome!

We recently completed The Vulcan Hello & Battle at the Binary Stars thread in the DISC forum!

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.

Our "rule" is that if the episode has a "To Be Continued..." on the end, it is done in a single thread, but if it's just an arc of related episodes (like the Dominion Occupation Arc on DS9 or the Xindi Arc on ENT), each episode is a separate thread.

Get ready for a story, here we go!

 

[Athena28]

[Main Street - night]

BENNINGS: Any last words?

 

[Orac]

Skag: Go to hell.

 

[CaptVader]

Bennings: I didn't know Skags believed in hell.
(He fires his pistol to spook the horse and the Skag is left kicking alone in the air.)

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

(For those of you without eidetic memories, here is the "North Star" transcript at Chakoteya)

[One of my fave eps!]


[Main Street - day]

(The dead Skag is coffined.)
MACCREADY: Who's paying for the box?
(The undertaker looks towards the lady schoolteacher.)
MACCREADY: I hope you're not planning to bury him in the cemetery.

 

[Athena28]

BETHANY: His people don't bury their dead, but I wouldn't expect you to know that.

 

[May 20]

MACCREADY: I'm sorry I didn't get there in time to stop them.

 

[Orac]

Bethany: What difference would it have made?

 

[JRob94]

MACCREADY: He'd have gotten a trial.

 

[May 20]

BETHANY: And the same people who lynched him would have been sitting on the jury.

 

[Orac]

MacCready: Bethany, he killed a man. Self-defence or not, that's a hanging offence for a Skag.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

(As Bethany walks down the street, a familiar man walks over to a woman wearing a scarf to cover the tips of her ears.)

ARCHER: What have you got?

 

[Athena28]

T'POL: I've confirmed that they're human. Their DNA is a perfect match.

 

[CaptVader]

TUCKER: Looks pretty authentic, Captain, right down to the spittoons.

 

[May 20]

ARCHER: And the hangings. If these people are from Earth, how the hell did they get here?
(He goes down an alleyway.)
ARCHER: Archer to Enterprise. Report.

 

[CaptVader]

REED: We've scanned ninety percent of the surface.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

[Command center]

REED (continued): The human settlements are clustered within a few hundred kilometers of your location. About six thousand people.

 

[May 20]

ARCHER [OC]: And the aliens?

 

[Athena28]

REED: Fewer than a thousand. Their closest encampment is ten kilometers northwest of your present position.

 

[Orac]

Archer: Any signs of technology, energy signatures, vessels?
