| Ja: |
Mr.Labin, it's really unnecessarily to go to all this trouble.
|
| Ga: |
Please, call me Gath, and I'd promise I would like nothing better
to prepare a few of our newest delicacies for you. Ah, this would
be perfect.
|
| Ni: |
Captain, I'm serving lunch in less than two hours.
|
| Ja: |
We won't be long, Neelix. This is Mr., this is Gath. He's from Sikaris.
|
| Ni: |
Ooh, Sikaris.
|
| Ja: |
Do you know the planet?
|
| Ni: |
That's only stories about their incredible hospitality.
|
| Ja: |
Tell me how do you know about us?
|
| Ga: |
Our people are very well traveled, some of them have brought back
stories about the ship of aliens from another part of the galaxy.
People's lost and alone, struggling to find their way home again.
|
| Ja: |
This is wonderful.
|
| Ga: |
And I decided to come and meet you, and offer you respite.
|
| Tu: |
Respite.
|
| Ga: |
A vacation if you will. Get away from the confines of the ship.
Enjoy the beauty of our landscape, meet and talk with interesting,
learn that people.
|
| Ke: |
And the crew will certainly welcome a little shore leave, Captain.
|
| Ni: |
And I hear it is the Sikarians have a huge variety of edible plants.
If we could collect some seeds, and we'd expand our selection
significantly.
|
| Ja: |
Sounds like all this would increase performance and maximize efficiency.
Don't you think, Mr. Tuvok?
|
| Tu: |
Indeed.
|
| Ja: |
Well, Gath, looks like you're getting visitors. We'll set a course
and follow you in.
|
| Ga: |
I could not be happier.
|
| Ga: |
If you see anything you like, just let me know.
|
| Ja: |
What is this material! It's so delicate.
|
| Ga: |
Exquisite, isn't it? It's the latest import from the Dedestris.
It's spun from the petals of a flower that blooms only moonlight.
Shall I have a dress made for you?
|
| Ja: |
It's lovely, but no, thank you.
|
| Ga: |
Is it so hard for you to accept a gift?
|
| Ja: |
All right. But something small, maybe a scarf.
|
| Ga: |
What a curious people you are! Tell me. Would it help if I said that
you could have an entire wardrobe made from these beautiful fabrics
and that it would give all of us pleasure to create it for you?
|
| Ja: |
Let's start with the scarf.
|
| Ga: |
As you like. Which cloth do you prefer?
|
| Ha: |
That's beautiful. Are you a musician?
|
| Eu: |
This isn't a musical instrument. It's an atmosphere sensor.
The frequency of chimes indicates changes the weather conditions.
|
| Ha: |
Then, it must work on principle of non-linear resonance, adjusting
to the dynamic variables of the atmosphere.
|
| Eu: |
That's exactly right. Are you a scientist?
|
| Ha: |
In a sense. Can you show me how to operate it?
|
| Eu: |
I'd happy to. First, you have to initialize a sub-harmonic mode.
|
| Ja: |
Oh, I think this one.
|
| Ga: |
When I see you wearing that scarf, my pleasure will be greater than
yours.
|
| Ja: |
Well, I should get back. But with your permission, I'd like to start
organizing teams to gather plants and seeds.
|
| Ga: |
This is my associate, Jaret Otel. You may contact him to make any
necessary arrangements.
|
| Ho: |
We'll be glad to assist you in any way, Captain.
|
| Ja: |
I'll find my officers and we'll return to the ship.
|
| Ga: |
Tonight we're having a celebration here. I hope you and your officers
will be my guests.
|
| Ja: |
We'd be delighted.
