LaForge: "Can I ask you a question? What in the world made you think of using
the transporter pattern buffer to survive?"
Scott: "Well, we didn't have enough supplies to wait for the rescue, so we had

LaForge: "Yeah, but locking it into a diagnostic cycle so that the pattern
wouldn't degrade and then cross-connecting it with the phase inducers to
provide a regenerative power source. That's absolutely brilliant."
Scott: "Well, I think was only fifty percent brilliant. Franklin deserves
better."
