| Ro: |
Why are we still on an orbit? We're taking a beating.
|
| Ge: |
We've got to hold as long as we can. Now if we can disable the
attack only for a few seconds, we can drop our shields and beam the
away team back aboard.
|
| Ro: |
If we follow that plan, we'll lose the Enterprise. And in view of the
present crisis, I believe you should relinquish command to me.
|
| Ge: |
No.
|
| Ro: |
I outrank you.
|
| Ge: |
Mr. Rogan, I'm in command.
|
| Ro: |
The Captain did not anticipate the Enterprise will command the
attack. If he had, would he have left the Bridge to you?
|
| Ge: |
If he had, he wouldn't have left the ship.
|
| Zu: |
Picking up an object at starboard, sir. Heading toward us.
|
| Ge: |
Lock the phasor on that thing and fire it the moment it's in range.
|
| Wo: |
Locking in. The object is vanished. Phasor lock lost.
|
| Zu: |
Starboard shield's weakened.
|
| Wo: |
It's coated itself.
|
| Ro: |
You cannot fight this thing to win. We've got to break orbit, now.
|
| Ge: |
Worf, analyze its firing pattern. Maybe we can anticipate its
location.
|
| Wo: |
Aye. Soles, correlate(?) trajectory of the energy pulse with
the attack path. Our computer up?? them spread phasor and photon
torpedos to head it.
|
| Ge: |
Right.
|
| Ro: |
Lieutenant LaForge. Geordi, I know you want to do what's the best
for the Enterprise. So do I. Now the best thing...
|
| Ge: |
The best thing, Mr. Rogan, is for this discussion to end and for you
to return to your duty. Now, I'm in charge until relieved by Commander
Riker or Captain Picard.
|
| Ro: |
You're ignoring my greater rank and experience.
|
| Ge: |
Not at all. In fact just the opposite, I'm counting on you. Now I
need you to get back down to the Engineering and get me any available
scrabble of the emergency power you can. The more power we can channel
to the shields, the longer we'll be able to hold out. Now, Mr. Rogan.
Ha... Worf, you've got lock on it yet?
|
| Wo: |
It's impossible to be sure.
|
| Ta: |
Maybe you should wait here, while Data and I search for the Captain
and Dr. Crusher.
|
| R: |
No, I'm little groggy, but I'll be all right.
|
| Da: |
I'm getting energy reading.
|
| R: |
Look out.
|
| Ta: |
We'll do just like before. It's got a deflector shield.
|
| Da: |
The product continues to upgrade and improve.
|
| Ta: |
We'll concentrate our fire to try to collapse its shield. Commander,
we'll need you too. Now. You're right. They keep on getting better.
|
| Da: |
Their weapons are appearing at intervals of precisely 12 minutes.
|
| Ta: |
Well, this one took everything we had. I don't know how we handle
the next one.
|
| R: |
We're not going to wait(?) around. Let's find the rest of our team.
