- What a dumb waste. Alright, we’ve still got a big problem. Those strange mosquitos are gnawing away at the hull. I don’t want to think about what’s going to happen if they get in.

- We need to try and dislodge them somehow. Okay, since these damn bugs like noise so much, let’s see how much they enjoy a bit of old fashioned shake, rattle and roll.

- Uh-huh. Well, I’m going to replicate myself a massive pile of whatever passes for currency on Kookiidoo. I plan to blow it all in the first two days. Then replicate some more.

- Dialogue
- I meant official shore leave. You can’t really relax when there’s the possibility hanging over your head of a security team beaming down to drag you back to the ship and throw you into the brig.

- Character
- Rutherford
- Dialogue
- No, it’s very bad! Individually it wouldn’t matter, but in a massive swarm like the one surrounding the ship, the cumulative effect of all those magnetic fields functions like an omnidirectional tractor beam!
- Objective ID

- Character
- Tendi
- Dialogue
- That already makes it impossible to pull away under impulse, but add in all those tiny EMPs playing havoc with the ship systems and we’re essentially paralyzed.

- We can’t. The only way you can survive a space mosquito swarm is never to have flown into it in the first place!

- Rutherford
- Dialogue
- Well, I don’t know exactly how they work, but apparently they manipulate time somehow. So, you know, if the Department of Temporal Investigations knew I had them…
- Objective ID

- Character
- Mariner
- Dialogue
- They’d lock you up inside the Big Bang. Yeah, those guys are weird. Okay, so if you don’t know how to use them, maybe Tendi can find out. C’mon, let’s get these things back to her in the lab.

- Dialogue
- Romulan vessel, there is no need for conflict. Clearly we are both trapped here. We should pool our resources and try to escape together instead of fighting.

- Romulans require no assistance from Federation fools. However, your ship has resources that we can use. You can surrender them to us, or we can take them by force.

- Yeah! They take their time but they eventually make their way in, sucking through all vital systems, before moving on to the crew. The ones that haven’t been driven mad by their constant hum that is.

- Being on a space bug’s menu did not form any part of my R&R plans. So how come we can’t move or shake them off? Any of the recordings say anything about that?
