Day 4 is upon us, with the following content....
    [*]DS9's "The Search I" by Marc.[*]TNG's "Gambit II" by Derek.[*]And B5's "The Fall of Night," by newly minted section head Sa'ar Chasm.[/list]

    Day 5 tomorrow. There's always a Day 5 tomorrow.


    (Note: My apologies to all whose browsers were fried by the "Gambit I" link yesterday. It was a PHP problem, since corrected.)

Quote:
Sisko: (over the comm) Hello everyone. I've brought back a little surprise for the Dominion.
O'Brien: Wow. It must be something really hush-hush if you had to deliver it here in a cloaked Federation starship.
*znerk*

Quote:
Odo: I agree. Who in their right mind would build a ship so packed with weapons that it doesn't have space for proper living quarters?
Bashir: I've been told the design came from a family business that's been submitting proposals to Starfleet for nearly two centuries. I'm sure the current president of Reed Enterprises must be pleased that his company finally made a sale.
I think the Zeke-Reed is more iconic than the real Reed.

Quote:
T'Rul: Yes we do. The charts show a planet "Aaahhhhh" only five light-years from here on course one-seven-three mark fourteen.
I'm sure there's a story behind that name. Must have died while typing it.

Quote:
Kira: Instrument? Odo, that's not a tricorder, that's the odometer from the shuttlecraft's instrument panel. Of what possible use....
(Several shapeshifters rise out of the lake and assume humanoid form)
Odo: I rest my case.
*twitch* The puns, the puns...although I guess an odometer could be considered a device to measure Odos.

Quote:
Worf: The ship is undamaged.
Troi: We couldn't have adapted that quickly.
Data: I guess the knowledge and experience of the human Riker are part of them now. They are so screwed.
*snicker* Poor Riker. The butt of every joke.

Quote:
Riker: Well, I was supposed to start a mutiny with Galen so I could find out who his supporters are before I kill him.
Picard: Don't worry, I'll tell him for you.
It's like talking to Clark Kent about Superman.

(or Bruce Wayne about Batman, or Matt Murdoch about Daredevil, etc)

Quote:
Tallera: I'm trying to stop a group of Vulcan isolations who believe in an unorthodox philosophy of FDFC from assembling the Stone of Gol.
*g* We believe they're using finite mathematics.

Quote:
Worf: Let's bring the shuttle aboard with a tractor beam and search it.
Data: I don't know. We might give the pilot a heart attack or something.
Worf: Yes, but by the terms of the Klingon-Federation Treaty, we are allowed to search and give seizure.
BWAHAHAHA!

Quote:
Galen: Are you sure it's not just an imbalance of blood and phlegm making you ill?
Baran: Galen, heal thyself.
Well played.

Quote:
Riker: You have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?
Satok: Not a clue.
That makes two of them.

Quote:
Lennier: Ah. What are you drinking?
Vir: I'm not sure. Something I bought from that Haitian bartender.
If this confused you, don't worry. It confused me too. I'd forgotten what I had in mind when I wrote it.

Also, mmm, mint.

Heh heh.
Quote:
Dax: (over the comm) It was surprisingly easy to access them. We discovered a file right away that says, "He who is brave and pure of spirit may find the Vorta on the planet of AAAHHHHH!"

Quote:
Odo: I need a shuttlecraft! There's a strange instinct drawing me to the Omarion Nebula and I can't resist it.
Kira: Odo, I know you often swim against the current in matters of station policy, but this is taking the salmon metaphor a bit too far.
Quote:
Odo: Ask me that after I've spawned, or whatever.
Heh heh.

Quote:
Tallera: I'm actually Vulcan, and I work for Vulcan security. My name is T'Saavik, I mean, T'Pol, no, wait, T'Paal. Yes, that one.
Again, heh heh heh heh.
Quote:
Greedo: ZAP!
Riker: Gak!
Galen: Didn't see that one coming.

Quote:
Galen: Riker betrayed us and I'm thinking it's your fault. It's time for a mutiny.
Baran: Actually it's time for you to die. You make me ill.
Galen: Are you sure it's not just an imbalance of blood and phlegm making you ill?
Baran: Galen, heal thyself.
Heh heh heh.

Quote:
Lantz: Why haven't you done your reproductive duty to your species? Don't you like kids?
Ivanova: I adore children...I just couldn't eat a whole one.
Hee. That Ivanova
Quote:
Sheridan: I'm sorry I didn't hand the Narn in the barn over to the bruiser of a cruiser, and I'm sorry it fired the missile with the thistle at the station with the Haitian.
Paging Danny Kaye!


The reference & allusion density was amazing today. Nice work, all!

Sisko: Well done! Reload and target the next ship!
T'Rul: I will gladly do so if you tell me where the reload button is.
Sisko: This is one hell of a time to be pointing out another design flaw, Subcommander!
Nice work as always, Marc.

Nice Court Jester reference too. Really worked hard to set it up, didn't you, Sa'ar?

O'Brien: The schematics look pretty radical, sir. All I see are lots of heavy weapons and a huge engine. Where are the life-support systems and the Bridge?
Sisko: Like I said, it has a few design flaws....


Odo: I need a shuttlecraft! There's a strange instinct drawing me to the Omarion Nebula and I can't resist it.
Kira: Odo, I know you often swim against the current in matters of station policy, but this is taking the salmon metaphor a bit too far.
Odo: My mind is made up! I'm going, and nothing short of the Defiant being blown apart is going to stop me!
(KABOOM!)
Heheheh. :mrgreen:



Quote:
Riker: Good. I was really beginning to get sick of the guy. "How does it feel betraying everyone?" "Keep children away from me." "Wax my head." What a jerk.
Baran: In that case, you can kill him.
Riker: Just as soon as I find out what he knows about Picard.


Galen: Cool. The artifact's here in Koral's basketball.
Data: Commander Riker, you're risking charges of theft, piracy, and treason.
Riker: Let me add a few more charges.... from my phaser! Mwahahah --
Greedo: ZAP!
Riker: Gak!
Galen: Didn't see that one coming.
:mrgreen:

Quote:
Narik: Wow. These Vulcan catacombs sure are in poor condition.
Tallera: Yeah, all we use them for now is spying on the Andorians.
Vekor: Hey, where's our money? We were promised streets of gold.
Tallera: I hear that's what they're paving heaven with these days.


Riker: Like puppies!
(WHIFF!)
Worf: And chili!
(WHIFF!)
Chili Joke: GAK!

Londo: To answer your question, it wasn't an invasion, merely an advance without consent through territory that technically didn't belong to us.
Heheh

Quote:
Keffer: So what can you tell me about this Ghost?
Mitch: It was a weather balloon, OK? Or possibly some swamp gas.
Keffer: Swamp gas in hyperspace? Come on, I need to find this Ghost! It tasks me, it heaps me!
Mitch: "And he piled upon the whale's white hump, the sum of all the general rage and hate felt by his whole race. If his chest had been a cannon, he would have shot his heart upon it."
Keffer: Geez, what's with all the First Contact quotes today?


Mitch: Okay, Ahab, here's all the data I have on the Ghost. Good hunting. Just remember... Death awaits you! With nasty big pointy teeth!
Keffer: Wait, you never said it had teeth!


Ivanova: Happy non-denominational season-specific gift-giving occasion.
Sheridan: You know, maybe political correctness has gone too far. ...Hey, just what I always wanted: carbon-scored shrapnel with my initials on it.


Quote:
Sheridan: I'm sorry I didn't hand the Narn in the barn over to the bruiser of a cruiser, and I'm sorry it fired the missile with the thistle at the station with the Haitian.
:lol:

Quote:
Drazi: I still say it was the Angel of Destruction.
Narn: And I still maintain it was the Angel of Poking With The Soft Cushions.
Drazi: What did you see, Ambassador Mollari?
Londo: I saw the Angel of Invisibility. Now leave me alone.

I laughed, I cried (thanks a bunch, Sa'ar!) - in short, it was an experience. Well, actually, in short it was a fiver, though not shorter than a fiver itself obviously because that would be like a single--

And I'm drifting.

Erm, anyway, good stuff all, and congrats to Sa'ar.
