I am The Interface






Emergence is a Simple Idea -- 
The Universe is The Way it is
because it Grew That Way.


CHAKOTAY: 
It looks like the bio-mass dissolved 
right through The Borg hull. 

TUVOK
This Borg is attempting to assimilate it. 

KIM: 
Doesn't look like he's having much luck. 

CHAKOTAY
There's a chamber beyond this opening. 
Forty meters wide, high concentrations of antimatter particles. 
It looks like a warp propulsion system of some kind. 

KIM: 
It's A Ship? 

TUVOK
Starfleet has encountered species 
that use organic-based vessels. 
The Breen, for example. 

CHAKOTAY
There doesn't seem to be anybody on board. 
Chakotay to Voyager. 

JANEWAY [OC]: 
Go ahead, Commander. 

CHAKOTAY
Captain, we've found an entrance to the biomass. 
We think it may be a ship of some kind. 
Permission to go inside

JANEWAY [OC]: 
Granted. 

CHAKOTAY: 
Harry, that's a Borg distribution node. 
See if you can download their tactical database. 
It might contain a record of What Happened here. 

KIM
Aye, sir. 

CHAKOTAY: 
Tuvok.

[Alien Bioship]
(Lots of curves in stark contrast to The Borg angles.)

CHAKOTAY: 
They seem to be organic conduits. 
They're carrying electrodynamic fluid. 

TUVOK: 
Maybe an energy source. 

CHAKOTAY
Maybe. This looks like a binary matrix, 
but it's laced with neuropeptides. 
Could be their version of a computer core. 

Kim hears some clanging sounds 
and goes to investigate, 
then returns to his work.

TUVOK
This damage was caused by a Borg disrupter beam. 
The Wall appears to be regenerating itself. 
Commander! 

Tuvok discovers a Borg being 
absorbed by The Wall.




[TARDIS]
(The Doctor is on his knees.



Chinny : 
I'm shutting down. 
I need An Interface. 
Voice interface. 
Come on, emergency

HOLO-DOCTOR MK-III: 
Voice interface enabled. 

Chinny
Oh no, no, no, no, no






Give me someone I like


(Holo-Rose Tyler.)

Chinny : 
Oh, Thanks. Give me Guilt. 




(Holo-Martha Jones.) 

Chinny: 
Also, Guilt. 

(Holo-Donna Noble.) 

Chinny
More Guilt. Argh
Come on, there must be someone left 
in The Universe I haven't screwed up yet. 


HOLO-AMELIA (Aged 8) 
Voice interface enabled. 

Chinny : 
Oh. Oh, Amelia Pond...
Before I got it all wrong
My sweet little Amelia. 

HOLO-AMELIA (Aged 8) : 
I am not Amelia Pond. 
I am a voice interface. 

Chinny : 
Hey, let's run away 
and have adventures. 
Come along, Pond. 

HOLO-AMELIA (Aged 8) 
I am not Amelia Pond. 
I am a voice interface. 

Chinny : 
You are so Scottish. 
How am I doing? 

HOLO-AMELIA (Aged 8) : 
Your System has been contaminated by The Poison of The Judas Tree. 
You will be dead in 
thirty two minutes. 

Chinny
Okay. So, basically better regenerate, 
that's what you're saying.
 
HOLO-AMELIA (Aged 8) :
Regeneration disabled. 
You will be dead 
in thirty two minutes. 

Chinny :
Unless I'm cured, yeah? 

HOLO-AMELIA (Aged 8) : 
There is no cure. 
You will be dead 
in thirty two minutes.

Chinny
Why do you keep saying that? 

HOLO-AMELIA (Aged 8) :
Because you will be dead in thirty two minutes.  

Chinny
You see? There you go again. Basically skipping 
thirty one whole minutes 
when I'm absolutely fine. 
Scottish, that's all I'm saying.

HOLO-AMELIA (Aged 8) :
 You will be fine for thirty one minutes. 
You will be dead in thirty two minutes. 

Chinny :
Scotland's never conquered anywhere, you know. 
Not even a Shetland. 
River needs me. 
She's only just beginning. 
I can't die now.

 
HOLO-AMELIA (Aged 8) : 
You will not die now. 
You will die in 
thirty two minutes.


Chinny :
I'm going out in the first round. Ringing any bells? 
Argh! Okay, need something 
for the pain now. 
Come on, Amelia. 
It's me. Please. 

HOLO-AMELIA (Aged 8) :
I am not Amelia Pond. 
I am a voice interface. 


Chinny :
Amelia, listen to me. 
I can be brave for you, 
but you have got to tell me how

HOLO-AMELIA (Aged 8) :
I am not Amelia Pond. 
I am a voice interface. 


Chinny
Amelia. Amelia, please. 

HOLO-AMELIA (Aged 8) :
Fish fingers and custard. 


Chinny :
What did you say? 
Fish fingers and custard? 
Oh, Amelia Pond. 
Fish fingers and custard. 
Fish fingers and custard!
