"Twilight" Line-by-Line

[LeadHead]

Hello there Displaced Former Residents of Earth! Welcome to Ceti Alpha V!

We've recently Started and Finished our Data's Day 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 Alienesse! And Alienesse selected "Twilight" (Not to be confused with the Awful, terrible movie franchise of the same name) to be our next Line bye line conquest! So, lets see how many times T'Pol can have the same conversation with Archer!

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 Reality TV Show Victim, CoveTom () will pick someone at random from among all the participants to choose the next episode we do.

Lets head to the Expanse, people!

Archer is in bed asleep, then woken up by Weapons fire hitting the hull of Enterprise.

Archer taps the commpanel.

Archer: Archer to the Bridge.

There is no response.

More weapon hits. Archer gets up and runs for the door.

A Security Officer is just outside his quarters as the door opens.

 

[Vanyel]

Security Office: Sorry sir, I have orders to keep you here.

 

[LeadHead]

Archer: Orders? From Whom?

 

[Enterprise1981]

GUARD: The Captain. (Archer thinks this is some kind of joke, slugs the guard takes off down the corridor without bothering to put a shirt on ala Kirk in "The Corbomite Maneuver".)

 

[Alienesse]

REED: We’re losing forward hull plating!

 

[Enterprise1981]

T'POL: (in a Starfleet uniform) Target their engines.

 

[Alienesse]

REED: No effect.

 

[LeadHead]

Archer enters

Archer: What the hell is going on?

 

[Alienesse]

T'POL: Someone take him back to his quarters!
(two crewmen grab him)

 

[LeadHead]

Reed: Weapons are offline!

 

[Alienesse]

HOSHI: Captain!
(Everyone stares in horror at the viewscreen, as the Xindi weapon blasts Earth into tiny pieces)

 

[Enterprise1981]

[Archer and T'Pol's home-- twelve years later]

(Archer wakes in a light, airy room. His hair is shot through with grey. He goes through to the kitchen where T'Pol is pouring orange juice)

ARCHER: Hello?

 

[LeadHead]

T'Pol: You're up early.

 

[Alienesse]

ARCHER: T’Pol?

 

[Enterprise1981]

T'POL: I know this all seems unfamiliar. I promise I’ll explain everything. Why don’t you sit down. Breakfast is almost ready.

 

[Alienesse]

ARCHER: Where are we?

 

[LeadHead]

T'Pol: Jonathan, please sit down. I'll answer all of your questions. Today is a very important day. I have a great deal to tell you. What's the last thing you remember?

 

[Alienesse]

ARCHER: I was in the Command center looking at long range scans.

 

[Enterprise1981]

T'POL: Do you remember what happened after you left the Command center?
