Star Trek: The Romulan Wars - The Outpost Page #3

---

Didn't take you for a religious girl.

Yeah.

My old boy was a priest.

Said it was just like being a soldier.

Both do a lot of things on faith.

Yeah.

We both get to burn twice, too.

Once here, then in Hell.

Why don't you police up any med supplies

we got downstairs?

Any time now is just fine, nurse.

Go on.

Your move, by the way.

Nice.

You're gonna have me

in trouble pretty quick by this rate.

Bet you'd talk to her if she bent down

and touched her toes, eh, big lad?

Checkmate?

Just slipped on some loose gold, eh?

- How is our comm situation?

- Not good, Tops.

Not since you ripped

the battery out backwards.

There's a radio room back there

you can cut into. Detail Prior on him

and see if you can scare us up enough

to get back online.

Whoever shot you is still out there

and I don't want to be deaf.

Your men need to grow up.

That's a nine mil hollow-point.

Now, a shell like this

is gonna push your lungs

clean through your spine.

Leave an exit wound big enough

to jump through.

You're gonna talk sooner or later, Gunst.

And it's gonna be to me.

So, this is what all the fuss is about?

What is it?

- The last 18 years of my life.

- This?

It may not look like much right now,

but this could be the Holy Grail of physics.

I never really trusted science.

Well,

there are four forces that control matter.

The key has been trying to find

how those forces interact.

If we can do that,

then we can explain the behavior

of all the substance in the universe.

Einstein coined a phrase,

unified field theory.

Many people thought he was close

to finding a solution.

But when he saw the atomic bomb tests

at Trinity,

he abandoned the research

and destroyed his notes.

Nobody has even come close

to finding a solution since.

So you came all the way out here

because you think that the Nazis...

Were working on the same thing.

I think this machine was designed

to manipulate a unified field.

And that chamber above it

where you found the bodies,

was built to control the resultant energy,

contain it.

- Why?

- The Germans were trying to win a war.

But with this technology,

its application and impact

in the modern world would be

limitless.

And probably priceless.

Mr. Hunt, is that you, sir?

You okay?

What's the matter?

You look like I f***ed your sister.

You ain't gonna get an answer, you know.

Shut up!

Killed a man once, asked for two things.

When he was done crying for his mama,

he begged for his God.

And you know what the answer was?

A bullet.

See...

That bright light...

It ain't Heaven, son.

It's just a muzzle flare.

Hey.

Listen.

F***ing love culture.

Mac, turn that sh*t off!
