The interstellar counterpart to Earth's Old Faithful. [Stubbs]
Doctor Stubbs, if you would like to make one final inspection of... [Picard]
Captain, I have been inspecting the Egg for the last 20 years. You may lay it when ready. [Stubbs]
Shuttle Bay 2, stand by to launch... the Egg. [Riker]
Medical personnel, report to the Bridge. [Riker]
Doctor Stubbs, the Captain asked me to tell you that our systems are back to normal and we can try another launch attempt as soon as you're ready. [Wesley Crusher]
Quite a dynamic family team-- you Crushers. [Stubbs]
Well, it's nice to be together again. I was at Starfleet Medical for a year. I missed about... two inches of him. [Crusher]
I'm not sure I'd want my mother to be flying through space with me. No, I take that back. I am sure. I wouldn't want her. My mother is a formidable woman, too. A woman of letters. A great critic. [Stubbs]
Thank you, Doctor. Come along, Wesley. Let's go see if Humpty-Dumpty is still in one piece. [Stubbs]
We are analyzing engineering systems, Captain. So far, we're showing nothing unusual in computer log for that time period. [La Forge]
Run a level-1 diagnostic series. [Picard]
Still no visual contact? That's impossible. Mr. Worf, same magnification 50 degrees starboard. [Picard]
Data, telling us why you're going to fail before you make the attempt is never wise. [Crusher]
But is not honesty always the preferred choice? [Data]
Excessive honesty can be disastrous particularly in a commander. [Picard]
Indeed? [Data]
Knowing your own limitations is one thing. Advertising them to a crew can damage your credibility as a leader. [Picard]
Because you will lose their confidence? [Data]
And you may begin to believe in those limitations yourself. [Crusher]
Captain, we're receiving a message from the Sheliak Corporate. [Riker]
Origin point of the message confirmed, sir. It is from the Shelia star system. [Worf]
Federation creatures, there are humans on the fifth planet of Tau Cygna. This planet was ceded to the corporate in section 133, paragraph 77 of the Treaty of Armens. We will begin settlement of this world in four days. [A Sheiak]
Tau Cygna V is in the de Laure belt-- heavy concentrations of hyperonic radiation. [Riker]
An investigation is in order. Set course to Tau Cygna V. [Picard]
Captain, when the treaty was first negotiated the Federation sent 372 legal experts. What do we have? [Troy]
Thee and me. [Picard]
Boost the signal strength. [Picard]
He wants the impossible. [Wesley Crusher]
That's the short definition of "captain." [La Forge]
Sensors do not indicate the presence of any armed space vehicles operating within the Rana system. [Worf]
They could be cloaked or wetherwise shielded. [Picard]
Captain, we are not receiving Rana IV's call sign. [Data]
Open a frequency to colony operations. [Riker]
No response. Rana IV is emissions quiet. [Data]
Captain, there are 11,000 inhabitants in this colony. At this range, I should be sensing something.. I'm not. [Troy]
Sensors are scanning 90 degrees of longitude as we orbit. I am detecting no bodies of water, no vegetation, no artificial structures. [Data]
Hold it. Captain, I've got something here. 37 degrees north and 62 degrees east. It's a structure. [Wesley Crusher]
Life? [Picard]
Two life-forms... possibly human. [Worf]
Put that area on the main viewer and magnify. [Picard]
The structure is located at the center of the vegetation, sir. [Data]
An entire planet obliterated except for a few acres of trees and grass and one building? [Riker]
If they're the only survivors of a nuclear holocaust, they can't be in very good shape. [Crusher]
I memorized the colony register on the way to Rana IV in the event that such information would be needed. [Data]
Is something wrong? [Kevin Uxbridge]
With your permission, I'd like to look inside of the house. [Riker]
Why? What could interest you in there? [K. Uxbridge]
Mr. Uxbridge, as far as we've been able to determine you and your wife and this house are all that survived that attack. Now that's either a bizarre coincidence or by design and I don't favor the coincidence theory. [Riker]
Are you saying that we were kept alive intentionally? [K Uxbridge]
Yes. [Riker]
I don't understand. You don't think Rishon and I did something that merits survival, do you? I mean, betrayed the others? [K. Uxbridge]
I'm not accusing you of anything, Mr. Uxbridge. The attacking force spared you for some reason. I'd like to know why. Now, may I go inside? [Riker]
Captain, a search of the Ranian system has determined that the hostile force that attacked this planet is no longer present. [Worf]
I remember a Starfleet admiral once saying the same thing about some renegade Andorians in the Triangulum system. It turns out that they had dismantled their ship and hidden it. [Picard]
のことを言っているのかと思ったが... 最後は自爆したんであって解体したわけじゃないし、関係なさそうやね。残念。
Those Andorians did not have to contend with someone of my thoroughness. I will stake my reputation. [Worf]
Data, give us a visual. Magnification factor 50. [Riker]
Look at the size of that. [Wesley Crusher]
Now where did that come from? [Picard]
Apparently, it was riding a Lagrange point hiding behind Rana IV's furthest moon. [Riker]
Approximately five times our mass and carrying enough armament to pulverize a planet. [Riker]
You increased the Levels of tricordrazine? [Crusher]
Before you start quoting me the Prime Directive, he'd already seen us, the damage was done. It was either bring him aboard or let him die. [Crusher]
Then why didn't you let him die? [Picard]
Because we were responsible for his injuries. [Crusher]
I am not sure that I concur with that reasoning, Doctor, but now that he's here, you must remove all memory of his encounter with the away team. [Picard]
By erasing short-term recall. [Crusher]
It has been accomplished before. [Picard]
I am familiar with Dr. Pulaski's technique. But I can't guarantee it'll be effective on Mintakan brain chemistry. Their lysome levels are much lower. [Crusher]
Well, Doctor, your next task is clear. [Picard]
Mintakan emotions are quite interesting. Like Vulcans, they have highly ordered minds A very sensible people. For example, Mintakan woman precede their mates. It's a signal to other women. [Troy]
"This man's taken. Get your own"? [Riker]
Not precisely. More like, "if you want his services I'm the one you have to negotiate with." [Troy]
What kind of "services"? [Riker]
All kinds. [Troy]
I believe I have seen the Overseer. [Liko]
Look at me. Feel the warmth of my hand... the rhythm of my pulse. I'm not a supreme being. I'm flesh and blood, like you. [Picard]
But you are the Picard. [Nuria]
They're very careful to prepare us for anything. But still... [Wesley Crusher]
I know. [Riker]
How do you get used to it? To tell them. [Wesley Crusher]
You hope you never do. [Riker]
I really wonder... Halt. I've always believed that carrying children on a starship is a very questionable policy. Serving on a starship means accepting certain risks, certain dangers. Did Jeremy Aster make that choice? [Picard]
Death and loss are an integral part of life everywhere. Leaving him on Earth would not have protected him. [Troy]
No, but the Earth isn't likely to be ordered to the Neutral Zone or to repel a Romulan attack. It was my command which sent his mother to her death. She understood her mission and my duty. Will he? [Picard]
A person died under your command. It may happen again. If you can't learn to release the anger and the guilt to talk about it... [Troy]
A leader must stand alone, as Captain Picard does. [Worf]
Captain Picard talks to me. [Troy]
Then, may I seek your counsel on my plan to make R'uustai with the boy. [Worf]
Lieutenant Aster is here. In her quarters, with the boy. [Worf]
Do not provoke her or interfere in any way until I arrive. Picard Out. Number one, have security moving that way but tell them to keep their distance. You have the bridge. [Picard]
Chief . Jeremy and I are going down to the surface. [Aster]
Data, can you determine for certain that the energy source from the planet is powering this creation? [Picard]
The beam from the planet is clearly tapping into the ship's anti-matter, Captain. [Data]
I'd say they're running that manifestation off our own energy. [La Forge]
So there are limits to her power. [Picard]
She needs the transporter to get the boy back. [Picard]
So, how do we cut the puppet's strings? [Picard]
Increasing the shield's harmonics to match our own anti-matter containment fields will probably sever the beam. [La Forge]
It's looking over everything, Commander... going to school. Let's just hope it doesn't blow us to kingdom come while it's figuring out how to blow us to kingdom come. [La Forge]
Acting Ensign Crusher reporting as ordered, sir. [Wesley Crusher]
This was the final battle, wasn't it? [Wesley Crusher]
Mn-hmm. Neither side expected Orelius IX to be the decisive conflict. [Data]
Survivors on Orelious IX after all this time. Not possible. [Riker]
I recommend that I return to the Cruiser with an away team. [Riker]
They didn't have much success with this problem, Commander. [La Forge]
No, but they knew who their enemy was better than we do. They may have known what caused the trouble. They just didn't know how to get out of it. [Riker]
Computer, who is this L. Brahms? [La Forge]
Doctor Leah Brahms. Engineer. Graduate of the Daystrom Institute. Theoretical Propulsion Group, Galaxy-class starships. Team seven, junior member. [Computer]
Junior member? Looks like she wrote the book on propulsion. Call up subspace design logs.
Geordi La Forge. How you doing, Doc? [La Forge]
Specify program. [Brahms]
Yeah, down to work. You're absolutely right. [La Forge]
Computer, generate a cross-section image of the dilithium crystal chamber. What about... reorienting the crystal? [La forge]
It is possible to reorient the crystal. The key lies in adjusting the lattice structure direction. This modification will be integrated into the next class starship. [Brahms]
Sorry, can't wait. You and me, Leah, we got just two hours to figure this thing out. You know what I need to do? I need to get inside there. I need to be able to turn that thing inside out. Computer, is there a cross-section image we can replicate on a holodeck? [La Forge]
Select menu: Design specifications or prototype schematic. [Computer]
Prototype. Elaborate. [La Forge]
A development stage prototype schematic at Utopia Planitia, Drafting Room 5 of the Mars Station, Stardate 40174. [Computer]
Perfect. Recreate it in Holodeck Three. Stay with me, Doc. Ready, computer? [La Forge]
Damn... Right back where it all started. Oh, this is incredible. Leah, did you design this? [La Forge]
The dilithium crystal chamber was designed at outpost designated Seran-T-One, Stardate 40052. Some of the Federation's best engineering minds participated in its development. [Brahms]
That's the visiting dignitary talk. What's the inside story? Off the record. [La Forge]
Access denied. Personal logs are restricted. [Computer]
Great. Another woman who won't get personal with me on the holodeck. Leah, I want to find a way to supplement the energy supply to the ship and to the engines. Could we alter the matter/anti-matter paths? [La Forge]
Theoretically, yes. The system should be able to accept more reactants at a faster rate of injection. [Brahms]
Well, this is your baby. Show me which ones. Computer, did I ask for a simulation? [La Forge]
Affirmative. You asked Dr. Brahms to show you which system could accept reactants at a faster rate. By accessing available imagery, an adequate facsimile was possible. [Computer]
Hmm, I did do that, didn't I? Okay, well, it's good to see you, Leah. Continue with your analysis. [La Forge]
Surely he must have logged the cause of the ship's death. What Captain wouldn't? [Picard]
They were all found in an open locker. I don't think he was too concerned with security. [Riker]
No, no, no. You can't boost the warp power that way. [La Forge]
If you can just increase the speed of the parallel subspace field processor to gain a quicker response time... [Brahms]
I want to give us enough power to strengthen the shields and barrel out of here not blow us up. [La Forge]
This is my design we're talking about. I did the calculations myself. [Brahms]
I don't care if you built it with your bare hands out of an old Ferengi cargo ship. It's going to go... ...and we're going to go with it. [La Forge]
I am not used to having people question my judgment. [Brahms]
And I'm not used to dying. Okay, look. You worked in a lab on a static model. This is a working machine. It's got tens of thousands of light years on it. [La Forge]
True. [Brahms]
Damn right. Listen. We'd never be certain that the circuit paths are sealed. [La Forge]
You're good. Very good. [Brahms]
I know my ship... inside and out. [La Forge]
Well, then you must know me inside and out 'cause a lot of me is in here. [Brahms]
You know, I always wished that a chief engineer could be present when a ship is being built. [La Forge]
That's what's wrong with designers. We never get out in space. [Brahms]
Well, you're there now. [La Forge]
Well, there is a .1 percent dip in the strength of the radiation field at... 21 mark 8 by 42 mark 0. [Worf]
There is also the possibility that the phasers will supply the assimilators with what they need most... energy. [Data]
The crystal lattice is breaking down. We'll have to pick up repairs when we can reach a Starbase. [La Forge]
The optimist of the group. [Riker]
So, what impact will that have on fatal exposure? [Picard]
Down to 26 minutes. [Crusher]
If we resist, we die. If we don't resist, we die. [Riker]
Mr. La Forge, have we shut down all non-essential energy usage? [Picard]
Yes, sir. In fact, I need to get some back. I'm running a program on Holodeck Three. [La Forge]
For what purpose? [Picard]
Well, I've gone back to the beginning to the earliest construction entries of the Enterprise. I've created a... well, a propulsion design model to assist me. I believe we're making progress. [La Forge]
We will be entering the debris field in eight seconds. [Worf]
Starboard thruster firing. [Data]
Coming to heading 340 mark 10. [Riker]
Thruster is off. [Data]
You know, I've always thought that technology could solve almost any problem. It enhances the quality of our lives. Lets us travel across the galaxy. It even gave me my vision. But sometimes you just have to turn it all off... even the gypsy violins. [La Forge]
Violins? [Brahms]
Different program. [La Forge]
Is your view any better, Geordi? [Riker]
Not too bad, Commander. A lot of charged particle precipitation, but I can compensate. [La Forge]
Communicators are dysfunctional. [Worf]
Picking up traces of ultritium residue. [La Forge]
The electrical storm's creating thousands of ghosts. Well, beam some of those ghosts back. [O'Brien]
One of them may be Geordi. Permission to lead another away team, sir. [Riker]
Denied. [Picard]
It certainly is the last place one would expect Romulan encroachment. On the other hand... Galorndon Core would provide ideal cover for the opening move of a new offense. [Picard]
I doubt if they were there for the climate. [Riker]
Mr. Worf, hail the Romulan vessel. [Picard]
Hailing frequencies open, sir. [Worf]
Romulan vessel, this is Captain Jean-Luc Picard of Federation Starship Enterprise. [Picard]
The frequency is open, sir. [Worf]
Commander Tomelek, we have intercepted your transmission. You are not to enter Federation space. [Picard]
Captain Picard, my apologies. Had I known you were in this sector I certainly would have advised you before crossing the Neutral Zone. [Tomelek]
Commander, we have recovered one of your survivors. [Picard]
He is on board your ship? [Tomelek]
I'm sure you are prepared to leave at once and rendezvous with me in the Neutral Zone. [Tomelek]
I have an away team on the planet. We're waiting for a window in the storm to beam them up. [Picard]
And then you will return my officer?. [Tomelek]
Captain, the neutrino beacon is operational and we've placed it aboard a class-3 probe. [Wesley Crusher]
You may be my prisoner! [Bochra]
Right. Congratulations. Surely a strategic triumph for the Romulan Empire. [La Forge]
Stay there! [Bochra]
My shoes are getting full of sand. I just hate that, don't you? [La Forge]
Name and rank. [Bochra]
Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge. I don't think I got yours. [La Forge]
A Romulan ship will arrive shortly. You will accompany me on board. [Bochra]
I don't think so. See, we heard your message, too, and, well... the fleet's in, Commodore. The sky's full of Federation ships. [La Forge]
You're lying. [Bochra]
I never lie when I've got sand in my shoes, Commodore. [La Forge]
Get up. [Bochra]
Seriously... the only way out of here is for you to put that thing down, and as soon as there's a window in the storm... [La Forge]
Welcome to Galorndon Core where no good deed goes unpunished. [La Forge]
This Romulan didn't murder your parents and you are the only one who can save his life. [Crusher]
Then he will die. [Worf]
You can be sarcastic now, but in a few millennia, when humans are extinct and the Romulan Empire spans the galaxy... [Bochra]
You really believe that stuff, don't you, Commodore? [La Forge]
You may address me as Centurion Bochra. [Bochra]
Without it, you're blind? [Bochra]
Yeah. [La Forge]
How did this happen? [Bochra]
I was born that way. [La Forge]
And your parents let you live? [Bochra]
What kind of question is that? Of course they let me live. [La Forge]
No wonder your race is weak. You waste time and resources on defective children. [Bochra]
Incoming Romulan transmission, Captain. [Worf]
They're early. [Riker]
The Romulan warbird should still be 29 minutes away from the edge of the Neutral Zone. [Data]
His life remains in jeopardy? [Tomelek]
Yes. [Picard]
And yet you will still not permit me to cross into your precious Federation space to retrieve him? [Tomelek]
If the point has not yet been made clearly, Commander, Romulan warships do not enter Federation space unless they are prepared to do battle. [Picard]
But a mission of mercy? [Tomelek]
A mission to recover one of your officers who has been caught on a Federation planet... for reasons as yet unknown. [Picard]
My synopses must be turning to jelly. [La Forge]
Do all humans give up so easily? [Bochra]
Bochra, we've lost. Unless you've got something that can smell neutrinos. [La Forge]
Lieutenant, hail the Romulan vessel. [Picard]
Aye, sir. ...They are ignoring our hail. [Worf]
Repeat the hail, all channels. You see, they have no way of knowing how accurate our sensors are. Put on your best poker face, Number One. [Picard]
Commander, we shall return your officer and escort your ship to the Neutral Zone. [Picard]
Picard to Counselor Troi.
[omit]
The pleasure of your company
is requested, Counselor.
We are, um... we're having
an little impromptu reception
for the arriving delegates.
[Picard]
Captain, I'm not really
dressed for a reception.
[Troi]
Oh, Counselor,
just throw on any old thing.
We're about to get
our first look at the wormhole.
[Picard]
Of course, Captain.
I'm on my way.
God forbid I should miss
my first look at the wormhole.
[Troi]
May I escort you,
Miss Troi?
[Riker]
Just tell me there's
some chocolate here.
[Troi]
Ah, Counselor Troi.
Will you allow me to do
the introductions?
This is Premier Bhavani of Barzan. [Picard]
You know Mr. Mendoza,
the Federation negotiator.
[Picard]
And I am
Devinoni Ral.
[Ral]
My good friend
Ral is
the best hired gun in the business. [Mendoza]
Hired gun?
[Troi]
My good friend Mendoza means
that I'm a negotiator
who serves
a variety of clients.
[Ral]
There it is, ladies
and gentlemen, the first
and only stable wormhole
known to exist.
It's yours,
for the right price.
[Bhavani]
( door chimes )
Come in.
[omit]
I thought you'd be deep
in negotiations by now.
[Troi]
In recess.
I never play the opening
rounds, anyway.
Inconsequential.
Besides, there are
much better things
to negotiate
on this ship...
like dinner tonight?
[Ral]
What about your
traveling companion?
[Troi]
My traveling companion
is... traveling.
I sent her home.
[Ral]
Weren't you
getting along?
[Troi]
Don't do that.
Don't do
"Counselor" Troi.
[Ral]
The readings from the Barzans'
probe of the wormhole
are quite impressive,
Captain.
The wormhole
delivered the probe
beyond the Denkiri Arm
in the Gamma Quadrant.
[Data]
It would take nearly
a century at warp 9
to cover
that distance.
[Picard]
Imagine the Ferengi, collecting
tolls if we lose to them.
[Riker]
Mm-hmm. I think
that Devinoni
is the one that we need
to watch out for.
Well he was the most
comfortable one in the group.
[Riker]
You must play poker,
Commander.
[Mendoza]
Poker? Is that a game
of some sort?
[Riker]
Mr. Mendoza, if this
lives up to its billing,
it will be a discovery
of extraordinary value.
But it is
a very big "if."
[Picard]
a wormhole is there one moment
and then gone the next.
A stable wormhole
is unheard of.
[Riker]
The Federation
could end up buying
a proverbial lemon.
[Picard]
"Proverbial lemon"?
[Data]
You attempt to gain
every unfair advantage, Picard.
[Goss]
Premier Bhavani
has no objection.
[Picard]
Well, I most
certainly do.
First, you conveniently
arrange to play host,
then you plan to send
a manned probe
into the wormhole.
The Federation thinks
it can do anything
it wants to.
Well I will not
tolerate it!
[Goss]
I will gladly share
the results
of our explorations
with all the delegates.
[Picard]
And you expect us to believe
what you report?
[Goss]
Then send in
your own probe, Goss.
[Riker]
That's exactly
what I intend to do.
And I should strongly suggest
that you stay out of our way!
[Goss]
Tell Data and La Forge
to do themselves a favor
and stay
out of their way.
[Picard]
Whatever he's got
is obviously not
life-threatening.
[Crusher]
You'll have to fill in,
Number One.
[omit]
You're the next
likely choice.
And Mr. Mendoza
will certainly agree.
[Picard]
Commander, I realize
what a difficult position
this must be for you.
If you don't
understand something,
I hope you won't be
too embarrassed to ask me.
[Ral]
I think I have an idea
what the rules are.
[Riker]
Well, that's what makes it
so interesting.
The rules of the game change
to fit the moment.
[Ral]
Not unlike commanding
a starship, Mr. Ral.
[Riker]
Well, Mr. Riker's
placed a--
a great deal
of emphasis on defense,
a subject he obviously
knows well
having served Starfleet
in a number of conflicts.
[Ral]
To be honest,
I was surprised
to see the Caldonians
here at all, Leyor.
[Ral]
You must think Caldonia
very insular, Mr. Ral.
[Leyor]
Oh no, no, not at all.
Not at all.
On the contrary,
I've always respected
your world's commitment
to pure research.
It's just that...
well...
[Ral]
Go on, please.
[Leyor]
Well, scholars don't always
enjoy administrative demands.
And certainly
we've seen here
that the administration
of the wormhole is--
[Ral]
Yes, I must admit,
I have begun to feel
some trepidation about that.
[Leyor]
Yes.
Yes, I'm sure
you have, Leyor.
I'm sure we all have.
Do you realize that
in the next century,
the number of ships
that will pass...
[Ral]
I'm telling you,
it's changing.
I can see it
with my visor.
[La Forge]
I have no intention
of leaving yet.
We have not finished taking
our readings.
[Arridor]
Listen, Doctor,
your readings must
be telling you
the same things
we're getting.
This is not
the Gamma Quadrant.
[La Forge]
I will not confirm
your speculations.
[Arridor]
This is not
a speculation, Doctor.
We are not where the Barzans
said we should be,
which would indicate this side
of the wormhole is not stable.
[Data]
It's getting worse.
I'm taking us in, Data,
with or without them.
[La Forge]
Thrusters at half power...
three-quarters...
[Data]
Entering outer
event horizon.
[La Forge]
Everyone was talking today
about the way you absorbed
the Caldonian bid.
[Troi]
Well, the opening
was there.
I took it.
[Ral]
Commander Riker didn't know
how you managed it.
Let me tell you something
about Commander Riker.
[Troi]
Let me tell you something
about Commander Riker.
He's good.
He's the most dangerous man
in that room to me.
[Ral]
But, he doesn't have
an edge...
your edge.
[Troi]
Our edge.
You make it sound
unethical.
[Ral]
Isn't it?
[Troi]
Look, Deanna...
the point of negotiating
is to take advantage.
I don't know what the other side
is offering,
and they don't know
what I'm offering.
So we dance around each other
until somebody wins.
I never cry foul
when I lose.
[Ral]
May I join you,
Commander?
[Ral]
Bought out
the Ferengi yet, Ral?
[Riker]
You know, you're very
good at this.
Very good.
Much better
than you realize.
[Ral]
Well, I hope I'm better
than you realize.
[Riker]
Sir, the Ferengi vessel
is moving
out of orbit--
impulse power.
They are approaching the entry
to the wormhole, sir.
[Worf]
Computer, is the Ferengi Goss
still on board the Enterprise?
[Picard]
Pardon me, Captain, I--
I believe there's a slight
conflict of interest here.
[Ral]
I agree entirely.
Mr. Ral asked me
not to tell anyone
he has empathic
powers,
which he uses to manipulate
his competitors
in a negotiation.
And, yes,
it did put me in
a conflict of interest,
which I hope
I have now resolved.
[Troi]
When do you leave?
[Troi]
Soon.
I've been recalled
by the Chrysalians.
Explanations demanded,
and so forth.
[omit]
I once asked you
to run away with me.
Now I'm asking again.
I need you.
You could help me change.
You could--
You could be
my conscience.
[Ral]
I already have a job
as Counselor.
[Troi]
For almost a century now, they've been parasites moving from star system to star system living on what they could find or steel. [Marouk]
They're still your people. [Picard]
A fine ship, Commander. [Marouk]
We're all very proud of her. [Riker]
Yuta... a light meal in 20 minutes. [Marouk]
May I be shown the kitchen, Commander? [Yuta]
You're the chef? [Riker]
Yes, I'll prepare all meals for the Sovereign and her servants. [Yuta]
I'm sure the Sovereign will wish to sample many of the cuisines your ship has to offer, but there are some Acamarian dishes that she will insist up on. [Yuta]
I will arrange for a technician to help program your recipes into the computer. Of course, I'll have to try some of them. What's your specialty? [Riker]
I have none. [Yuta]
Don't be modest. You can't tell me you haven't come up with a few culinary delights. [Riker]
There is a spiced Parthas dish. [Yuta]
Parthas... [Riker]
A green vegetable with fleshy roots. [Yuta]
Parthas a la Yuta. I look forward to tasting it. Sovereign. Chef. [Riker]
Now entering standard orbit of Gamma Hromi II, sir. [Wesley Crusher]
Captain, I am detecting life readings from the planet surface as well as severay small areas of thermal radiation and carbon dioxide emissions indicative of combustion. [Data]
Campfires, Data. [Wesley Crusher]
Is that not what I said? [Data]
It's worth a look. [Riker]
Make it so. [Picard]
Artonian lasers. Tonkian homing beacons. Quite a collection. [La Forge]
Noranium ally, sir. Its salvage value is quite low. [Data]
Looks like these Gatherers weren't too discriminating about what they steal. [Riker]
Ambush! [Worf]
Your ambushes would be more successful if you bathed more often. [Worf]
We've brought the Sovereign of Acamar. [Riker]
Barbarians. This is futile. [Marouk]
Go home, old woman. [Brull]
You people haven't changed in a hundred years! [Marouk]
You should know. You were there. [Brull]
It's a waste of time, Captain. They don't care about how they live. [Marouk]
Am I supposed to believe that you care how we live? [Brull]
What is there for us on Acamar III? [Brull]
A life, a home. You can end your wanderings, your miserable existence. [Marouk]
Do I look miserable to you? [Brull]
Brull, will you show Mr. Crusher the course to set to the Hromi Cluster? [Picard]
A child? This doesn't inspire my confidence. [Brull]
What's this? [Brull]
Math [Wesley Crusher]
I can see that, but what does it mean? [Brull]
This is the locally Euclidean metrization of a k-fold contravariant Riemannian tensor field. [Wesley Crusher]
You don't like me. [Brull]
I didn't say that. [Wesley Crusher]
No problem. I have many friends that don't like me, but what do you know about me? [Brull]
You're a thief. [Wesley Crusher]
I steal to survive, not because I enjoy it. [Brull]
It really is delicious. [Riker]
I'm glad it pleases you, Commander. [Yuta]
I'm not your Commander. My name is William. [Riker]
I will call you William, if you prefer. [Yuta]
I do. When you say "Commander", you say it like you say "Sovereign" to Marouk. [Riker]
As a servant. You're an excellent Commander, but you'd make a poor Sovereign. [Yuta]
The Sovereign treats me well. I have all that I could want. [Yuta]
What about freedom. [Riker]
I can never have that. [Yuta]
Because you're the property of the Sovereign? [Riker]
No, I'm not her slave. I can leave whenever I wish. [Yuta]
But you have no place to go? [Riker]
Just the opposite. My path is all too clear. [Yuta]
Yuta, you're an excellent chef, but you speak in riddles. [Riker]
Sick Bay to Commander Riker. I've discovered something interesting, Will. [Riker]
You're scowling, Doctor. [Riker]
The old Gatherer on the Planet? I know what caused his heart attack. The medical tricorder almost missed it, but there was a microvirus in his body blocking his autonomic nerve impulses. [Crusher]
And that stopped his heart? [Riker]
But here's the really interesting part. This microvirus will only attack itself to cells with a very specific DNA sequence. [Crusher]
How specific? [Riker]
Without knowing more about their genetic makeup I can't be sure, but my guess is this virus would only kill one Acamarian in a million. [Crusher]
Pretty single-minded bug. [Riker]
Too single-minded. I can't believe it's a naturally occurring virus. [Crusher]
Meaning someone engineered it? [Riker]
Meaning Volnath was murdered. [Crusher]
She appreciates the... affection you've shown me. [Yuta]
Was I that obvious? [Riker]
How could this virus have been transmitted, Doctor? [Riker]
More ways than I can count. And it's perfectly safe to the carrier as long as he doesn't have the same DNA patterns. [Crusher]
Tailor-made for their enemies. [Riker]
Commander, 80 years ago, the Lornaks massacred a rival clan, the Tralestas. It ended a feud that had lasted for 200 years. [Data]
Ended it? [Riker]
According to these records, there were no survivors. The Tralestas were annihilated. [Data]
Something tells me they weren't all wiped out. [Crusher]
There must be a missing link here. [Riker]
Sir, I believe I have found a correlation between the two deaths-- your "missing link." [Data]
This is Penthor-Mul being led from his trial. [Data]
I don't see the connection. [Riker]
Behind him and to the left, sir. [Data]
Computer, scan left and magnify. [Riker]
The computer can extrapolate and reconstruct the rest of the face, sir. [Data]
Lieutenant Worf, will you conduct Sublieutenant Setal to the Sick Bay? [Picard]
No doubt you will wish to question me further. [Setal]
No doubt. [Picard]
You don't believe that. [Picard]
Well, the Empire knows that we would never allow them to build a base within the Neutral Zone. [Riker]
It's always a game of chess with them, isn't it? [Picard]
Captain, permission to observe the interrogation. [Data]
No, Mr. Data, I need you on the Bridge with me. There is much to be done. We have less than 48 hours to prevent a war to start one. This will depend on establishing the truth... [Picard]
Well... somehow I think we're going to catch the Romulans with their pants down on Nelvana III, just like he says. [La Forge]
"With their pants...?" [Data]
An metaphor. Catching them in the act. [La Forge]
Second Officer's Log, Stardate 43465.2. [Data]
A prisoner has escaped from the penal colony on Lunar V. Two guards are dead. The prisoner has taken a transport vessel. [Nayrok]
Do you have means of pursuit? [Riker]
The tracking station was sabotaged. The entire base is in chaos. We've ordered ships from the surface to follow him, but to be honest, our civilian pilots are not trained for this. [Nayrok]
With your permission? [Riker]
Mr. Data, a stolen transport vessel has departed from Lunar V. Have you picked it up on the sensors? [Riker]
Yes, Commander. [Data]
Good. Detain the vessel and quarantine the pilot. Is he armed? [Riker]
Yes, and extremely dangerous, Commander. Lunar V is a maximum security facility. [Nayrok]
Sensors detect a massive power buildup in his aft thrusters. [Worf]
What is this ship? [Danar]
You are on board the USS Enterprise. [Troy]
A war vessel? [Danar]
A Federation starship. [Troy]
I just killed three men to get out of there, Counselor, and I'm fully capable of killing you, as well. That's a terrifying thought, isn't it? Even to me. [Danar]
Why are you doing this? [Troy]
Playing games? Isn't that what all of you mind-control experts do? [Danar]
I am not a mind-control expert. [Troy]
He served in many campaigns during the Targian War, received two promotions to the rank of "subhadar." A very honorable tour of duty. [Data]
Readings now indicate an open access panel in Jefferies' tube N-11, deck 38. [Data]
The cargo bays. [Riker]
Captain's Log, Stardate 43510.7. The Enterprise has put in at Rutia IV to deliver medical supplies following an outbreak of violent protests. Although non-aligned, the planet has enjoyed a long trading relationship with the Federation. Now, a generation of peace has ended with terrorist attacks by Ansata separatists who are demanding autonomy and self-determination for their homeland on the western continent. Recreational shore leave has been prohibited and all away teams have been instructed to beam down armed. [Picard]
Lieutenant Worf, I need some bandages, disinfectant-- something with alcohol in it. [Crusher]
I don't want to be in the transporter room to greet her. [Riker]
A transporter would leave residual ionization in the air. Our tricorder readings found no trace after the incident. [Data]
People don't just appear and disappear. There must be some way to track her. [Riker]
Why her? [Picard]
Sir, I believe she was the intended target of the abduction. [Worf]
This isn't the best way to meet new people, is it? [Finn]
He needs your strength right now. [Troy]
History has shown us that strength may be useless when faced with terrorism. [Picard]
Now, eat something. What's the point of not eating? You're the only one who suffers. Do I look like it's bothering me? Okey, it's bothering me. Come on. [Finn]
I have a son. [Crusher]
You'll be with him again, Doctor. I see no reason to kill you. [Finn]
Captain's Log, Stardate 43539.1. We have moved into orbit around Bre'el IV. With the assistance of the planet's emergency control center, we are investigating a catastrophic threat to the population from a descending asteroidal moon. [Picard]
Projecting it somewhere on the western continent. That would destroy an area 800 kilometers in radius. [Data]
That damage would be insignificant, Captain. Compared to the seismic repercussions massive landquakes and tsunami. [A Bre'el officer]
Mr. La Forge, is there any way that the Enterprise could coax that satellite back where it belongs? [Picard]
We'd need to apply a delta-v of about four thousand kilometers per second. Even with warp power to the tractor beam, it would mean exceeding the recommended impulse engine output by at least 47%. It would be like an ant pushing a tricycle. A slim chance at best. [La Forge]
Given the choice between slim and none. I'll take slim any day. [Riker]
As a fellow Klingon, if you would speak to the Captain on my behalf. I would be eternally grateful. Which doesn't mean as much as it used to, I admit. [Q]
Be quiet! Or disappear back where you came from! [Worf]
I can't disappear any more than you could win a beauty contest. [Q]
Please don't feel compelled now to tell me the story of the boy who cried "Worf." [Q]
I demand to be let out of here. Do you hear me? You will deactivate this cell immediately. Romulan! I should have said Romulan-- that Klingon goat. [Q]
Computer, remove the force field. If you are human-- which I seriously doubt-- you will have to work hard to earn our trust. [Picard]
I'm not worried about that, Jean-Luc. You only dislike me. There are others in the cosmos who truly despise me. [Q]
What are you looking at? [Q]
I was considering the possibility that you are telling the truth-- that you really are human. [Data]
It's the ghastly truth, Mr. Data. I can now stub my toe with the best of them. [Q]
An irony. It means that you have achieved in disgrace what I have always aspired to be. [Data]
La Forge to Bridge. The moon has reached its minimum orbital distance. It's time, Captain. [La Forge]
We'll have to lower shields. [Riker]
Proceed. Mr. Worf, keep a close eye on Q's friends out there. [Picard]
Containment fields to flight tolerance. Warp core to 90%. [Data]
Engage field coils, tractor beam to stand-by. Field output? Field output? [La Forge]
Two-seventeen. [Q]
Shut up, Q. [La Forge]
I will not be spoken to in this manner! [Q]
Q, I strongly suggest that you cooperate. [Data]
Inertial mass of the moon is decreasing to approximately 2.5 million metric tons. [Data]
Try activating the structural integrity field. [La Forge]
Ensign, set course for Station Nigala IV. [Picard]
Perhaps there's a... residue of humanity in Q after all. [Picard]
Don't bet on it, Picard. [Q]
All right, try this. [Guinan]
What is it? [Worf]
Just try it. [Guinan]
You see. It's an Earth drink. Prune juice. [Guinan]
A warrior's drink. [Worf]
Is it a worm-home? [Picard]
Yes and no. Like a time displacement, but it does not have a discernible event horizon. [Data]
Military Log, Combat-Date 43625.2. While investigating an unusual radiation anomaly, the Enterprise has encountered what could almost be called a ghost from its own past-- the Enterprise-C, the immediate predecessor to this battleship. [Picard]
Has it been adrift for all those years? Or has it traveled through time? [Picard]
It is a possibility, Captain. If that hypothesis is correct, the phenomenon we have just encountered would be a temporal rift in space. [Data]
A rift. [Picard]
Possibly the formation of a Kerr loop from superstring material. It would require high-energy interaction in the vicinity for such a structure to be formed. The rift is certainly not stable, Captain. It could collapse at any time. [Data]
If you can't stabilize the life-support, we're going to have to evacuate this ship. [Riker]
I think I can do it. I'll have to get to Engineering though. La Forge to Damage Control Team Alpha. Meet me on Engineering level three. [La Forge]
Commander William Riker. [Riker]
Lieutenant Castillo. Helmsman. [Castillo]
I'd hate to have to scrap her. Starfleet could certainly use another ship even if she is old. [Riker]
It's the same Bridge. Nothing has changed. [Picard]
I know that. I also know it's wrong. [Guinan]
What else? [Picard]
Families. There should be children on this ship. [Guinan]
What?! Children on the Enterprise? Guinan, we're at war. [Picard]
No, we're not. At least, we're not supposed to be. This is not a ship of war. This is a ship of peace. [Guinan]
I guess I'm lucky to be alive at all. [Castillo]
You may not like the future. It's been a long war. The Federation has lost more than half of Starfleet to the Klingons. [Yar]
We were negotiating a peace treaty when I left. [Castillo]
Is there any possibility she could survive? [Picard]
None, sir. [Data]
Then sending them back would be a death sentence. [Picard]
She was the first Galaxy-class warship built by the Federation. [Yar]
Our sensors have picked up Klingon warships in this sector, Captain. [Yar]
Why wasn't I informed, Mr. Castillo? [Garrett]
Captain, you shouldn't... [Castillo]
As senior officer, I want you to be my liaison to the Enterprise-D. Coordinate with tactical. [Garrett]
But there's something more when you look at me, isn't there? I can see it in your eyes, Guinan. We've known each other too long. [Yar]
We weren't meant to know each other at all. At least, that's what I sense when I look at you. Tasha, you're not supposed to be here. [Guinan]
Where am I supposed to be? [Yar]
Dead. [Guinan]
Do you know how? [Yar]
No, but I do know it was an empty death-- a death without purpose. [Guinan]
Attention, all hands. As you know, we could outrun the Klingon vessels, but we must protect the Enterprise-C until she enters the temporal rift and we must succeed. Let's make sure that history never forgets the name Enterprise. Picard out. [Picard]
We are taking you to the holodeck to show you several thousand composites I have programmed. You may choose from them. [Data]
Second Officer Science Log, supplemental. [Data]
The most important part about working someplace like this is the art of listening. I have some expertise, so I shall teach you. [Guinan]
I've been programmed with a listing of 1,412 known beverages. [Lal]
What did you say? [Guinan]
I've been programmed with a listing... [Lal]
"I've?" [Guinan]
You have used a verbal contraction. [Data]
You said "I've" instead of "I have." [Guinan]
Captain, Commander Riker's shuttle has just returned. [Worf]
Acknowledged, Lieutenant. Will you advise Commander Riker. I will meet with him in one hour. Picard out. [Picard]
Commander? What are your intentions toward my daughter? [Data]
Your daughter? Nice to meet you. [Riker]
There comes a time when all parents must give up their children for their own good.
Starfleet
Captain's Log, Stardate 43685.2: As part of an exchange program, we are taking aboard a Klingon officer to return the recent visit of Commander Riker to the Cruiser Pagh. [Picard]
We must take care of him while he's with us. Commander Kurn is accorded all the rights and responsibilities due to a first officer on board this ship. If he should feel patronized in any way... [Picard]
Oh, I'm sure we'd know. One does not patronize a Klingon warrior. [Riker]
Your experience on board the Pagh will prove invaluable during the Commander's tour. Be sure the crew are prepared for any unusual orders. [Picard]
The Klingons are very thorough. I'm sure Commander Kurn has studied for his assignment just as I did when I served with them. [Riker]
Commander Kurn is ready for transport, Captain. [woman]
Energize. Welcome aboard the Enterprise, Commander. I'm Captain Picard. This is Commander William Riker. He will be yielding the first officer's position to you during your tour. [Picard]
You are relieved. [Kurn]
I am Kurn, commander rank, Klingon Defense Force. You will address me as "Commander" or "sir" at all times. I am fully aware of all Starfleet regulations and they will be strictly adhered to by all personnel while I am in command. [Kurn]
The crew awaits your orders, Captain. [Kurn]
Then take us to the outer cometary cloud, Commander. [Picard]
Set course 114, mark 230. One-third impulse power.Execute. [Kurn]
Permission to speak freely, sir. [Worf]
Permission granted. Pose your questions. [Kurn]
I wish to know if I have given you offense. [Worf]
I did not know that being polite to a Starfleet officer would bring dishonor to him. [Kurn]
I am a Klingon. [Worf]
Really? Perhaps your blood has thinned in this environment. I simply didn't want to hurt you. [Kurn]
mev yap! So your blood is not so thin after all. [Kurn]
I am a Klingon! If you doubt it, a demonstration can be arranged. [Worf]
That is the response of a Klingon. The response I would expect... from my older brother. [Kurn]
I was barely a year old when you left for the Khitomer Outpost. You, our mother and father were not going to stay long. It was decided that I did not need to go. I was left to stay with our father's friend, Lorgh, until your return. You never did. [Kurn]
The Starfleet officer that rescued me was told by the Klingon High Command that...
I had no living relatives. [Worf]
They assumed that I was killed with the family at Khitomer. Lorgh had no sons. He took me into his family. It was not until I reached
the Age of Ascensionthat I was told the truth. [Kurn]
So you asked to serve aboard the Enterprise to watch me. [Worf]
It was an excellent opportunity to see what kind of Klingon you were or if you were Klingon at all. [Kurn]
Your deception offends me, brother. [Worf]
It should. But it was required. [Kurn]
To satisfy your curiosity. [Worf]
No, much more. You are the eldest son. The challenge is yours to make. [Kurn]
Challenge? [Worf]
The Klingon High Council has judged our father a traitor to the Empire. [Kurn]
The charge has been made by Duras, the son of my father's greatest rival. Our family name will be disgraced for seven generations. It is my responsibility to clear his name or answer for his crimes. [Worf]
Answer for them? [Picard]
The family of a Klingon warrior is responsible for his actions and he is responsible for theirs. If I fail in my challenge, I will be executed. [Worf]
Commander Kurn.We're changing course. Set coordinates for the First City of the Klingon Imperial Empire. [Picard]
I am Worf, son of Mogh. I have come to challenge the lies that have been spoken of my father. [Worf]
You are a fool and your challenge can only result in a fool's death. It is a good day [Duras]
It is a good day to die, Duras. And the day is not yet over. [Worf]
I should have known. Worf was right. It is a good day to die. [Kurn]
My challenge will proceed. No threats, no treachery will stop it. Not even a trap set for my cha'DIch by a coward. [Worf]
I will not hear lies from the son of a traitor. Keep your place, Picard! [Duras]
This is my place. [Picard]
Riker to Captain Picard.We've located another survivor of the Khitomer massacre-- a woman who was found with Worf. Her name is Kahlest. She resides in the Old Quarter of the First City. [Riker]
Kahlest? [Picard]
I cannot help. I am dead. A long time dead. [Kahlest]
Were you with Worf's father just before the attack on Khitomer? [Picard]
No. My life ended on Khitomer. I served a proud family, a strong house. All that is gone. [Kahlest]
Kahlest, would they recognize you? Would they know who you are? [Picard]
K'mpec would remember Kahlest. I caught his eye back then, but he was too fat. [Kahlest]
Kahlest... you can go now. It is good [K'mpec]
You are still fat, K'mpec. [Kahlest]
You admit the truth and yet expect him to accept punishment? What does this say of an Empire who holds honor so dear? [Picard]
The Empire will not be destroyed for one family's honor. [K'mpec]
Welcome to Risa. All that is ours is yours. [Computer]
First Officer's Log, Stardate 43745.2. We have departed Gamaris V where, for the past two weeks, Captain Picard has been serving as mediator in a trade dispute between the Gemarians and their nearest neighbor, the Dachlyds. [Riker]
Go to warp four, Mr. Bennett. Set course for Starbase 12. Report. [Picard]
Everything's status quo, sir. [Riker]
Is it my imagination or is something bothering the Captain? [Riker]
He has been under a great deal of strain lately. While we were on Gemaris, he ate sparingly and slept even less. [Troy]
Anything we can do? [Riker]
Actually, I have a solution in mind, but I doubt he'll agree to it. [Troy]
What would that be? [Riker]
Our Captain needs a vacation. [Troy]
Sir, it's been brought to my attention that one of the crew is neglecting his health again. [Crusher]
How so? [Picard]
It's a classic case of stress-related ailments brought on by overwork-- exhaustion, irritability, muscle spasms. Yet he insists on ignoring it. [Crusher]
It doesn't sound too serious. [Picard]
And I plan on keeping it that way. [Crusher]
What's the treatment? [Picard]
A week's shore leave. [Crusher]
Oh... impossible. [Picard]
Jean-Luc, I could make that an order. [Crusher]
But you won't. Oh, Beverly, you know I loathe vacations. [Picard]
You loathe going on vacations. Once you're there, you have a marvelous time. Why, you told me that your four days on Zytchin III were wonderful. [Crusher]
I lied. Look, the Enterprise is scheduled to spend a week undergoing maintenance overhaul at Starbase 12. While there, I promise that I will make full use of available recreational activity. [Picard]
Watching some technician fill deuterium tanks is not my idea of fun. [Crusher]
I suppose I could find a few hours to spend on the holodeck. [Picard]
Oh, forget the holodeck. Isn't there someplace special you want to go? [Crusher]
The Astrophysics Center on Icor IX is holding a symposium on rogue star clusters. I had given serious thought to attending. [Picard]
The last thing you need is serious thought. Jean-Luc, why don't you go someplace beautiful where you can relax and be pampered? You deserve it. [Crusher]
I'll give it serious thought. [Picard]
Captain... [Crusher]
Doctor... enough. [Picard]
I'm willing to pay you your weight in gold in exchange for the disk. [Sovak]
We are Vorgons. I am Ajur. This is Boratus. [Ajur]
We come from the 27th century. We traveled 300 years into the past to find you. [Boratus]
Then the Uthat actually exists? [Picard]
Yes. It was invented by a scientist named Kal Dano in the mid-27th century. The Uthat is a quantum phase inhibitor capable of halting all nuclear reaction within a star. [Boratus]
I told the Professor, I'd present it to the Daystrom Institute for study. [Vash]
Jean-Luc? We're going to make a wonderful team. [Vash]
See, I told you we'd make a wonderful team. [Vash]
I don't want any trouble here, Barclay. [Guinan]
Trouble? Why would there be trouble? [Barclay]
Because wherever you go, trouble follows. [Guinan]
Lieutenant Barclay, you're on duty. [La Forge]
Is that a fact? [Barclay]
It is, and you'll observe it. So get back to your post. [Barclay]
This is insubordination, Mr. Barclay. [Riker]
Here's to insubordination. Riker, you're nothing but a pretty mannequin in a fancy uniform. You're full of hot air. If Picard has a problem with me, you tell him to come and talk to me himself. [Barclay]
I feel your confidence, your arrogant resolve. It excites me. [Troy]
Lieutenant Barclay, report to Cargo Bay Five now. [La Forge]
I just don't know what to do with him. The guy's always late. He never gives his best effort. Just slides by. I'm telling you, I can't deal with it anymore. I mean, how does a guy like that make it through the academy? [La Forge]
I think it's time we spoke to the Captain about Broccoli. That's what Wesley calls him. You keep that to yourself. [Riker]
Well, it fits. [La Forge]
I'm just not accustomed to seeing an unsatisfactory rating on a member of my crew. [Picard]
I guess the question is whether Mr. Barclay is Enterprise material. [Riker]
And I assume by your request for his transfer that you think he's not, Commander. [Picard]
Well, I hate to say it, but... I always thought I could work with anybody, but I just don't understand this guy. Broccoli makes me nervous, Captain. He makes everybody nervous. [La Forge]
Broccoli? [Picard]
Young Mr. Crusher started that. [Riker]
I guess it's caught on. Let's just get that "uncaught," shall we? There's every indication that he's served competently in Starfleet for years. Ratings aboard the Zhukov were satisfactory. In fact, I recall Captain Gleason speaking quite highly of him before his transfer. [Picard]
In retrospect, I wonder if Captain Gleason wasn't buttering our bread a little. He knew that we needed a diagnostic engineer. I've examined Barclay's psychological profile. He has a history of seclusive tendencies. It was noted at the academy more than once. [Riker]
And yet, he chose this way of life. He has made the same commitment to Starfleet that we all have. It's easy to transfer a problem to someone else. Too easy. [Picard]
Captain, it's not like I haven't tried. [La Forge]
Try harder, Geordi. He's a member of your team. Try to find some way to help him to make a positive contribution. Get to know the man better. Make him your best friend. [Picard]
With all due respect, sir, "my best friend"? I can barely tolerate being in the same room with the man. [La Forge]
I suggest you put your personal discomfort on one side, Commander. Dismissed. [La Forge]
Hey, Reg. How, uh... how's it going? [La Forge]
Oh... say, Reg how about sitting in on the mission briefing with my senior officers in the morning? [La Forge]
Th-The briefing? Me? [Barclay]
I'd like your input. [La Forge]
What on? I mean, do... do you want me to prepare...? [Barclay]
No, no, just be there. 0800 Hours. [La Forge]
I'll... I'll be on time, sir. [Barclay]
Good. Good. Carry on. [La Forge]
I am the Goddess of Empathy. Cast off your inhibitions and embrace love, truth, joy. [Troy]
But I thought that's the point of the briefing to discuss different approaches... [Wesley Crusher]
It's not that you did anything wrong, Wes. It's just that Barclay's... Well, he's my new project. [La Forge]
Yeah, Broccoli's a real project, all right. [Duffy]
I just need to draw him out some more. [La Forge]
And I shut him down. Poor Broccoli. [Wesley Crusher]
Pardon me. But why is Lieutenant Barclay being referred to clandestinely as a vegetable? [Data]
It's a joke, Data. You know, a nickname? [Wesley Crusher]
Nicknames generally denote fondness. A diminutive shared between friends. [Data]
Data's absolutely right. The nickname stops here and now. Captain's orders. [La Forge]
Listen, Reg. I really do want you to talk to Counselor Troi. [La Forge]
I was synchronizing the phase transition coils. I didn't do anything I haven't done 100 times before. The test object is made of pure duranium. [O'Brien]
Seems normal enough to me. [La Forge]
Watch this. [O'Brien]
Glad I don't have anywhere to go. [La Forge]
Chief Engineer's Log, Stardate 43808.2. A systems analysis of Transporter Room Three has yielded no suggestion of a cause for the latest malfunction aboard the Enterprise. [La Forge]
This part of the same pattern? [Picard]
We don't know, sir. And we don't know why only Transporter Room Three is affected. None of the other transporter rooms are malfunctioning. [La Forge]
We reach Nahmi IV in 22 hours. We'll want all transporters operational by then. I want a level-1 diagnostic across the board. [Picard]
Ha! Do I detect a streak of yellow along the good fellow's back? [Picard]
Captain's Log, Stardate 43917.4. The Enterprise has been given the singular honor of hosting the first meeting between the Federation and a mysterious race known as the Legarans. We are in orbit around Vulcan preparing to welcome aboard Federation Ambassador Sarek and his wife, Perrin who, like his first wife, is from Earth. [Picard]
I remember studying his career in school. The treaty of Alpha Cygnus lX, the Coridan admission to the Federation, the Klingon Alliance... [Riker]
でのエピソード。
I met him once, many years ago very briefly, at his son's wedding. I can tell you that was quite a moment for a young Lieutenant. Standing in the presence of such history. I remember he spoke to me and I just stood there, grinning like an idiot. [Picard]
みたいなエピソードが24世紀にもあったのかな?(回収されなかった伏線だろうか^^)
Welcome aboard the Enterprise, Ambassador Sarek. [Picard]
We come to serve. [Sarek]
Your service honors us. [Picard]
でカークとスポックがサレク夫妻を迎えるときと酷似している。だがTOSの方は、まずスポックが"Welcome to serve."と言った後、"Your service honors us."とサレクが応えている。原語でも確認したが、"We come to serve."と"Welcome to serve."このビミョーな違いは何なのだろう?そして、完全に共通する台詞"Your service honors us."は来賓側、主催側のどちらが言うという決まりはないのだろうか?
This is your Command Center? [Sakkath]
Yes. It is normally occupied by Captain Picard, Commander Riker and Counselor Troi. [Data]
Counselor Troi is a Betazoid? [Sakkath]
Half-Betazoid. Her father was human. [Data]
Then she is not a true telepath. [Sakkath]
Her skills are empathic in nature. She is able to sense the emotions of other beings. [Sakkath]
There's a very rare condition that sometimes affect Vulcans over the age of 200. Bendii Syndrome. Its early symptoms include sudden bursts of emotion mostly irrational anger. Eventually, all emotional control is lost. [Crusher]
I can imagine nothing that would be more offensive to a Vulcan. Their emotional detachment is the very core of their being. Why would this affect others onboard the ship? [Picard]
Vulcans possess telepathic abilities. Sarek may unintentionally be projecting intense emotions onto other people, at random. [Troy]
And when the Legarans beam aboard? [Picard]
They could very well be affected, too. [Troy]
You are dealing with a theory full of holes, Captain. Why am I not affected by Sarek's supposed condition? And Perrin, how could his wife function normally if this theory of yours is correct? [Mendrossen]
I cannot explain that. Hundreds of others onboard have not been affected, either. I have not. It appears to be random. Proximity, apparently, has no bearing on this phenomenon. [Picard]
You are accusing the greatest man of his time of losing his mind on the eve of his greatest triumph and you cannot explain why. I won't report this to the Ambassador. For the moment. I don't want to divert his attention from the mission. But if I were you, in the interests of your career I'd be very concerned about finding the real cause of these outbursts before the Legarans arrive. [Mendrossen]
Sakkath, I await an answer. [Sarek]
I have been using my limited abilities to strengthen your mental discipline. [Sakkath]
Your efforts will no longer be required. [Sarek]
That would not be wise. [Sakkath]
It may not be wise, but it is necessary. [Sarek]
I hope I've not embarrassed you, Ambassador. [Picard]
You seem to forget, Captain, that I'm a Vulcan. I'm not affected by emotional considerations. [Sarek]
There is an epidemic of violent incidents aboard the Enterprise. As we speak the situation is worsening. [Picard]
And it is your hypothesis that I am the cause of these incidents? [Sarek]
Yes. My Chief Medical Officer has explored all other probable causes. [Picard]
I share your concern for your crew. However, you must agree that it is not unusual for a starship to encounter unexplained phenomena. [Sarek]
That is correct. [Picard]
Therefore, since I can assure you that I am not the cause of your difficulties, the logical course would be to have your doctor continue the search. [Sarek]
She is. It is also a fact that these incidents began shortly after your arrival. [Picard]
Is your entire argument to be based upon mere coincidence? [Sarek]
Is it also coincidence that your wife and your Chief of Staff are carefully isolating you? [Picard]
Ah, I believe I see the flaw in your logic. You are reacting to their overprotective attitudes toward me. They are somewhat emotional concerning my age. [Sarek]
Surely, Sakkath cannot be influenced by emotion. [Picard]
Am I to be blamed for the judgment of a child? Sakkath is young and inexperienced. He erred in his assumption that I needed help. [Sarek]
The Legarans trust only me. They will not meet with any other member of the Federation. I must be allowed to complete my mission. There are no other logical solutions! [Sarek]
No other logical solutions? But, Ambassador, there are always other solutions. You have said so yourself, many times. [Picard]
What I meant was that... [Sarek]
Sarek of Vulcan would never be afraid of looking straight at something he did not want to see. [Picard]
I warn you. Your efforts to discredit me will not succeed! [Sarek]
Sarek of Vulcan never confused what he wanted with the truth. [Picard]
I will not be spoken to in this manner! [Sarek]
Do I hear anger in your voice? [Picard]
It would be illogical for a Vulcan to show anger! It would be illogical! Illogical! Illogical! Illogical! [Sarek]
A mind-meld... between the two of us? Do you realize the dangers involved in what you are proposing, Captain? [Sarek]
Yes, I do, Ambassador, but I also realize the potential benefits. [Picard]
We would be linked telepathically-- sharing our thoughts becoming, in essence, one mind. [Sarek]
Which, for a few hours should provide the emotional control you need. In that time, you can meet with the Legarans and conclude the treaty. [Picard]
It is a generous offer, but I must warn you that while I would gain your stability, you would experience the fierce onslaught of emotions unleashed by my condition. Vulcan emotions are extremely intense. We have learned to suppress them. No human could control them. They will overwhelm you. The mind-meld can be a terrible intimacy. I cannot allow it. [Sarek]
I'm aware of the risks, but it is the only... logical solution. [Picard]
Your courage honors me, Captain. [Sarek]
My mind to your mind. Your thoughts to my thoughts. [Sarek]
Thank you, Captain. [Perrin]
He loves you... very much. [Picard]
I know. I've always known. [Perrin]
I will take my leave of you now, Captain. I do not think we shall meet again. [Sarek]
I hope you are wrong, Ambassador. [Picard]
We shall always retain the best part of the other inside us. [Sarek]
I believe I have the better part of that bargain, Ambassador. Peace and long life. [Picard]
Live long and prosper. [Sarek]
Captain's Log,
Stardate 43992.6.
Admiral Hanson and Lieutenant
Commander Shelby
of Starfleet Tactical
have arrived to review
the disappearance
of New Providence colony.
No sign remains
of the 900 inhabitants.
[Picard]
The truth is...
hell, we are not ready.
We've known they were coming
for over a year.
We've thrown every resource we
have into this, but still...
[Hanson]
Then you're
convinced
it is the Borg.
[Riker]
That's what I'm here
to find out.
The initial descriptions
of the surface conditions
are almost identical
to your report from System J-25.
[Shelby]
Commander Riker
wrote those reports.
He agrees with you.
[Picard]
Commander Shelby
took over Borg tactical analysis
six months ago.
I've learned to give her
a wide latitude
when I want
to get things done.
That's how I intend
to operate here.
[Hanson]
My priority has been
to develop some kind--
any kind--
of defense strategy.
[Shelby]
Obviously, nothing we have now
can stop them.
[Riker]
We've been designing new weapons
but they're all
still on the drawing board.
[Shelby]
We expected much more lead time.
Your encounter with the Borg
was over 7,000
light years away.
[Hanson]
で7万光年なんて誤訳をしちゃったもんだから、敢えて言及を避けたのか?その割りには元々言及のないリードタイムについて「数年ある」なんて...
It's our poker night,
Admiral.
There's always
an open seat for you.
[Riker]
Another time, Commander.
Your Captain and I
have a lot to cover.
But, uh, rumor has it
Commander Shelby has
played a hand or two.
[Hanson]
Keep your eye on her, Jean-Luc.
She's one very impressive
young lady.
[Hanson]
You seem rather taken
with her, J.P.
[Picard]
Just an old man's fantasies.
When Shelby came into Tactical,
every admiral's uncle
had a take
on this Borg business.
She cut through it.
She put us on track.
[Hanson]
She'd make you one hell
of a First Officer.
[Hanson]
Already have a hell
of a First Officer.
[Picard]
Don't tell me he's going
to pass up another commission.
[Hanson]
One's available?
[Picard]
The Melbourne.
It's his if he wants it.
Hasn't he told you?
[Hanson]
He'll make a fine captain, J.P.
[Picard]
You may want to tell him that.
We're still waiting
on his decision.
This is the third time
we've pulled out
the Captain's chair for Riker.
He just won't sit down.
Well, let me tell you something,
Jean-Luc--
there are a lot
of young hotshots like Shelby
on the way up.
Riker could suddenly look
like he's standing still
next to them.
He's hurting his career
by staying put.
And if I were you,
I'd kick him in the rear end
for his own good.
[Hanson]
Morning.
Early bird gets
the worm, eh?
We've had some
interesting results.
[Shelby]
Commander Shelby...
Walk with me, Commander.
[Riker]
Early bird?
I believe
Commander Shelby erred.
There is no evidence
of avifaunal
or crawling vermicular
life-forms on Jouret IV.
[Data]
That's not what
she meant, Data
but you're right--
she erred.
[La Forge]
I'm sorry,
but I woke up early
and I saw that a weather
system was moving in.
It could have affected
the soil readings.
[Shelby]
So without any regard
for the risk of coming
down here alone...
[Riker]
Really, Commander,
if we ran into the Borg here
two extra bodies wouldn't have
made a hell of a difference
now, would they?
We had three hours
before the storm front hit
less than two hours now.
Data was available.
I took him.
We came.
I don't see your problem.
[Shelby]
My problem, Commander, is
I expect to be notified
before there's a
change in my orders.
What's your impression
of Shelby?
[Picard]
She knows her stuff.
[Riker]
She has your
full confidence?
[Picard]
Well, I think she
needs supervision.
She takes the initiative
a little too easily--
sometimes with risks.
[Riker]
Sounds like a young
Lieutenant Commander
I recruited
as a First Officer.
[Picard]
Perhaps.
[Riker]
Will...
what the hell are you
still doing here?
You've been offered
the Melbourne.
[Picard]
I've decided not to pursue
that commission at this time.
[Riker]
She's a fine ship, Will.
[Picard]
Yes, but she's not the
Enterprise.
With all due respect, sir,
you need me, particularly now.
[Riker]
Indeed. Starfleet needs
good Captains, particularly now.
Reconsider your decision.
[Picard]
Are you telling me to leave,
Captain?
[Riker]
You're ready
to take command
and, you know, Enterprise
will go along
just fine without you.
[Picard]
The Captain says
Shelby reminds him
of the way that I used to be
and he's right.
She comes in here
full of drive and ambition.
Impatient, taking risks.
I look at her and I wonder what
happened to those things in me.
I liked those things about me.
I've lost something.
[Riker]
You mean, you're older,
more experienced
a little more... seasoned.
[Troi]
"Seasoned."
That's a horrible
thing to say to a man.
[Riker]
...a manipulation effect in the
Borg ship's subspace field.
A definite pattern
at 4.8 minute intervals
during your first
confrontation with them.
[Shelby]
It might indicate
high-output auxiliary
generators kicking in.
[La Forge]
One theory is that their
systems are decentralized
with redundant power sources
located throughout the ship.
[Shelby]
That is a reasonable conclusion.
Borg technology has given
each member of their society
the ability to interface
and function
collectively.
It is likely they
have constructed their ship
with the same philosophy.
[Data]
Commander Shelby
what is the status
of our defense preparations?
[Picard]
Mr. La Forge has a plan
to modulate shield nutation.
[Shelby]
At the same
time, we'll be
retuning phasers to higher
EM base emitting frequencies
try to disrupt
their subspace field.
[La Forge]
What's your assessment
of our potential effectiveness?
[Picard]
It's a shot in the dark, Captain
but, for now,
it's the best we can do.
[La Forge]
Sir, the coordinates
they have set--
they are on a
direct course
to Sector 001--
the Terran system.
[Worf]
Earth.
[Riker]
Captain Jean-Luc Picard
you lead the strongest ship
of the Federation fleet.
[Borg]
I have nothing to say to you
and I will resist you
with my last ounce of strength.
[Picard]
Strength is irrelevant.
Resistance is futile.
We wish to improve ourselves.
We will add your biological
and technological
distinctiveness to our own.
Your culture will adapt
to service ours.
[Borg]
Impossible.
My culture is based on freedom
and self-determination.
[Picard]
Freedom is irrelevant.
Self-determination
is irrelevant.
You must comply.
[Borg]
We would rather die.
[Picard]
Death is irrelevant.
Your archaic cultures
are authority driven.
To facilitate our introduction
into your societies
it has been decided that a human
voice will speak for us
in all communications.
You have been chosen
to be that voice.
[Borg]
Commander, they
are leading us
into the heart
of our own defenses.
[Worf]
Yeah, well, so far,
they haven't had
much of a reason
to worry about our defenses.
[La Forge]
Commander, if the Borg
stay at warp 9.6
we'll be forced
to discontinue pursuit
and power down
in less than three hours.
[Wesley Crusher]
How long before
the deflector's ready?
[Riker]
We're close, a few hours maybe.
I know-- I'll get it done
in two somehow
but, Commander, I'm going
to need serious power
from the warp engines
to make this weapon work.
[La Forge]
Sir, we've got to get that ship
down to impulse.
[Shelby]
I'm leading an away team over
there to get the Captain back.
We'll find a way
to get them out of warp.
Ensign Crusher, you continue
to assist Mr. La Forge.
Commander Shelby,
you'll take the Bridge
and coordinate
with Starfleet.
Data, Worf, Doctor,
you're with me.
[Riker]
Commander Riker
it is inappropriate for you
to lead the away team.
Until the return
of Captain Picard
you are in command
of the Enterprise.
We're in
a state of war
and your place
is on the Bridge.
[Troi]
Commander Shelby
you'll lead
the away team.
Make it so.
[Riker]
First Officer's Log,
Stardate 43998.5.
Our pursuit of the Borg
continues on a course
that will take us
to the very core
of the Federation.
The devastation they could
bring is beyond imagination.
[Riker]
I am Locutus of Borg.
Resistance is futile.
Your life, as it has been,
is over.
From this time forward,
you will service us.
[Locutus]
