Before my experience on the Enterprise the Borg were a single-minded collective. The voices in our heads were smooth and flowing, but after I returned those voices began to change. They became uneven, discordant. For the first time, individual Borg had differing ideas about how to proceed. We couldn't function. Some Borg fought each other. Others simply shut themselves down. Many starved to death. [Hugh]
And then, Lore came along. [Riker]
You probably can't imagine what it is like to be so lost and frightened that you will listen to any voice which promises change. [Hugh]
Even if that voice insists on controlling you? [Worf]
That's what we wanted... someone to show us a way out of confusion. Lore promised clarity and purpose. At the beginning, he seemed like a savior. The promise of becoming a superior race... of becoming fully artificial... was compelling. We gladly did everything he asked of us, but, after a while, it became clear that Lore had no idea how to keep his promise. That's when he began talking about the need for us to make sacrifices. Before we realized it, this was the result. [Hugh]
Data? Who's there? [La Forge]
Geordi. Shh. We're getting out of here. [Data]
Come on, hurry. Data was just here. I think he went to get something. [La Forge]
Too late. My brother suggested I try to develop my sense of humor. What do you think? [Data]
I think it needs a little work. [La Forge]
I betrayed them. If they die, I am responsible. [Data]
Why are you talking like that? Is something wrong with your programming? Maybe I should check your systems. [Lore]
I do not want you to check my systems. I must resolve these issues myself. [Data]
I think I made a mistake. I don't believe you can tolerate the amount of emotion I've given you. Perhaps I should cut back a little. How's that? [Lore]
I do not like it. [Data]
Then you prefer to have more emotions? [Lore]
Yes. [Data]
They give you pleasure? [Data]
Yes, please, I want more. [Lore]
I do not enjoy these diplomatic situations. [Worf]
It's all part of being in Starfleet. There. [Riker]
I do not see why it is necessary to wear these ridiculous uniforms. [Worf]
Protocol. [Riker]
I'm looking forward very much to meeting with the Premier of Iyar. There will be a reception held in your honor when you will meet the rest of my senior staff. I, of course, shall be on my way to your homeworld, but I shall be leaving you in the safe hands of my most experienced officers. Lieutenant Worf, of the Klingon Empire is my Head of Security. He will be in charge of your safety while you're on board. Counselor Deanna Troi, of the planet Betazed will be your personal liaison officer, Ambassador Loquel. [Picard]
Ambassador, it's an honor to meet you. Would you like to see your quarters before we attend the reception? [Troy]
Please. [Loquel]
Ambassador Byleth, this is Commander William Riker, my First Officer, from the planet Earth. He has been assigned to you. [Picard]
I want this one. [Byleth]
Well, Commander Riker is a skilled diplomat with wide experience in interspecies contact. [Picard]
I'm sure, I'm sure. But I have decided. I want this... Lieutenant Worf. [Byleth]
I am losing because you have been cheating all along. [Worf]
Even if I were cheating, how would a plodding animal like you know it? [Byleth]
You are an insulting, pompous fool. And if you were not an ambassador, I would disembowel you right here! [Worf]
Do not let my title inhibit you, Klingon. [Byleth]
I'll jump unless you promise to love me. [Anna]
No. No, I won't promise. You have been manipulating me, haven't you? [Picard]
Jean-Luc, what are you saying? [Anna]
The necklace... it broke. I saw it in the cargo freighter on the floor by the fire. I left it there. Now it's around your neck. It's whole! How? [Picard]
So, tell me. Why is it so important that you find this man? [a bartender]
We had business dealings. He owes me money. [Troy]
Ooh. Well, if we had business dealings I can tell you that I wouldn't disappear. [a bartender]
My friend tells me you know something about the man we're looking for. [Riker]
The only reason I'm talking to you is that I have a sister, too. [Yranac]
I explained to him that we are looking for a man who impregnated your sister. [Worf]
So, you can imagine how much this means to me. [Riker]
Family honor is important. If someone had defiled my sister, I would do anything, pay anything to find the one responsible. [Yranac]
And how much might "anything" be? [Riker]
As much as five bars of gold-pressed latinum. [Yranac]
The Captain died in a bar fight for nothing. Somebody has to answer for that. Then I can morn. [Riker]
My condolences to you and to your crew. [Chekote]
They murdered a man in cold blood in full sight of everyone in the bar and you can't remember anything about them? [Riker]
As Acting First Officer, I must question your decision to accompany the away team. [Data]
For the short time it was within our visual range, we were able to take sensor readings of the mercenary vessel. It appears to be encased in an energy-absorbing material. Although we can see the ship, this energy sheath renders it virtually undetectable to our long-range sensors. [Data]
Data? I know this is a long shot, but if I remodulate the long-range sensor array I might be able to make it sensitive enough to detect the ship. Without a full compositional analysis of the energy sheath, our chances of finding the correct remodulation sequence are remote. [La Forge]
Without a full compositional analysis of the energy sheath, our chances of finding the correct remodulation sequence are remote. [Data]
Oh, don't bother, Commander. You can't remove it. It's a neural servo connected directly to your nervous system. It lets me control precisely how much pain you feel. This setting is usually sufficient. However, if necessary, it can go much higher. These devices were the idea of my predecessor. It's a convenient way of enforcing discipline. [Baran]
What happened to him? [Riker]
He failed to enforce it with me. [Baran]
If he has nothing to give us, we should kill him now and be done with it. Everybody seems to recognize that fact, except you. [Picard]
I don't need a consensus to run this ship, Galen. [Baran]
Looks like you've got a control logic lockout on your regulator's subsystem. [Riker]
The Enterprise has been badly damaged but they still have superior firepower. If we remain here, we will be destroyed. The logical course of action is to withdraw. [Tallera]
I've gone over every word, every inflection every facial response and I still can't find any kind of code or hidden message. [Troy]
I agree the existence of such a message is remote but I believe we should check. [Data]
Two starships have been sent to intercept the mercenaries at Yadalla Prime and Draken IV in case they attempt to attack those planets. [Worf]
I suppose I should thank you. None of us would be alive if it weren't for you. [Riker]
You're welcome. [Riker]
What's wrong, Commander? You having second thoughts about betraying your comrades? Because that's what you've done... betrayed them. Betrayed them in order to save yourself. You used to be just a second-rate officer. Now you're a traitor and a coward. How does that feel? [Picard]
Galen's made a positive terikon match on one of the artifacts. [Tallera]
That sounds like good news. [Riker]
Very. It means we've completed half of what promises to be a very profitable mission. And even better than that I'm almost ready to get rid of your friend, Galen. [Baran]
There must be a place where someone with 15 years of Starfleet technical knowledge would be useful. You wouldn't happen to know a place like that? [Riker]
Well... well, possibly. However, there's one thing that I've learned on this ship and that's to be cautious and never to blindly embrace what might appear to be good fortune. And right now, you're a rather large stroke of good luck. [Baran]
I haven't exactly sworn my undying allegiance to you, either, Baran. For instance, I'd like to know a little bit more about this job. [Riker]
Such as? [Baran]
Such as, what you meant by "very profitable mission." [Riker]
Well, it's enough to know right now that your share would insure you a very wealthy and long life far from the Federation. [Baran]
Sounds promising. [Riker]
It is. Only you're going to have to earn it. And you can start by putting aside your dislike for Galen and becoming his friend. [Baran]
Why? [Riker]
Galen has allies on this ship. That could cause trouble... if I decide to kill him. I want you to find out from him who they are. One more thing, Riker. When the time comes I want you to kill Galen. [Baran]
Good to see you, too. [Riker]
I've had some unpleasant surprises. Will, this isn't a good idea. Baran might grow suspicious. [Picard]
You're supposed to verify its authenticity. Then I'm supposed to kill you. Then I take your place. [Riker]
Well, as soon as Baran feels that I've outlived my usefulness he can kill me simply by using the neural servo. So I think we had better start planning a mutiny. [Picard]
I'm here to investigate a possible threat to Vulcan. [T'Paal]
What sort of threat? [Picard]
First things first, Galen. Who are you? [T'Paal]
Hello. I'm Dr. Crusher and this is Lieutenant Worf. [Crusher]
He's at the rendezvous coordinates but he's been detained by the Enterprise. [Vekor]
Now, how could they have found out about the rendezvous, Commander? [Picard]
Quiet! All that matters now is that the Enterprise has the second artifact in their possession. We don't have a choice. We'll have to board the Enterprise and take the artifact. [Baran]
Do you have any idea how many security officers there are on board a ship like that? [Picard]
No, I don't. But he does. [Baran]
This is it. [Picard]
Are you sure, Galen? [Narik]
Yes, I can recognize the inscription pattern from the first artifact. [Picard]
Initializing deuterium infusion sequence. [La Forge]
I'd like to learn what was good and joyous about her to celebrate her life, not mourn it. [Troy]
Mr. Worf, open a hailing frequency. [Picard]
Captain's Log, Stardate 47410.2. The Atrean government has requested assistance in averting a natural disaster. Two of their geologists have come aboard one of whom is a human who has been living on Atrea IV. [Picard]
Captain, the situation has worsened since my husband and I first contacted you. The molten core of our planet isn't just cooling... it's begun to solidify. [Juliana Tainer]
Our gravitational field has been affected. Seismic activity has increased by a factor of three.
She has tear ducts, sweat glands, even veins and capillaries underneath her skin. [Crusher]
It's part of her aging program. Not only does she age in appearance like Data her vital signs change, too. [La Forge]
Only an artificial life-form could have done that. [Data]
There is something I think you should know. My father told me... that he had only one great love in his life and that he regretted never telling her how much he cared for her. I am certain he was referring to you. [Data]
I am returning from the bat'leth competition on Forcas III. [Worf]'17/11月追記: 今更ですが、「クソ訳」に格下げ(^^;)
The conditions were difficult. [Worf]
Will! I'll bet you never thought you'd see me again. [Pressman]
It's good to see you, sir. [Riker]
Yeah, sure it is. You look like you're about to faint. [Pressman]
No. It's... it's just that it's been a long time. [Riker]
There was an incident on Altair III when Will was First Officer of the Hood. He refused to let Captain DeSoto beam down during a crisis. He disobeyed a direct order and he risked a general court-martial because he thought he was right. [Picard]
では正しく訳してたのに...
I was doing bat'leth moves with Mr. Worf. I jabbed when I should have blocked. It's a good thing we were using the sticks instead of the real blades. [Riker]
I was on the Bridge. The ship was at Yellow Alert. We were running some tests on the engines. Something went wrong. There was an explosion in Engineering. Heavy casualties. In the midst of this crisis, the First Officer, the Chief of Engineering and most of the Bridge crew mutinied against Captain Pressman. They thought he was jeopardizing the ship. [Riker]
And you? [Picard]
I was seven months out of the Academy my head still ringing with words like "duty" and "honor." [Riker]
When they turned on him I thought they were a bunch of self-serving, disloyal officers, so I grabbed a phaser and I defended my Captain. Two or three others joined us, but it was clear by then that the mutineers had most of the crew behind them. We felt a need to get off the ship. There was a running firefight all the way to the escape pod. About five minutes after we left the ship, there was an explosion. [Riker]
Ensign Gates, plot a course into the chasm, maneuvering thrusters only. [Picard]
Captain's Log, Stardate 47423.9. We have arrived at Boraal II in response to an emergency distress call from Lieutenant Worf's foster brother, Nikolai Rozhenko. He has been stationed on the planet as a cultural observer. [Picard]
I've done what you refused to do. I've saved them. [Nikolai Rozhenko]
I don't know what Nikolai said to you, but please... forgive him? [Dobara]
It is an old argument. [Worf]
Ever since Vorin was lost, people have been afraid... worried that we won't reach our new home. We need Nikolai's strength now more than ever. [Dobara]
He is a brave and compassionate man and I love him. Please... go to him? Make things right between you. I want us to be a family. I want you to consider yourself my brother. After all... ...you're going to be the uncle of my child. [Dobara]
Could I take this with me? [Worf]
Hmm... It's yours. [Nikolai]
Most of the people on this colony will remember my grandmother as a healer. She didn't just relieve pain and fight illness. She knew that well-being is more than just a healthy body. Her remedies often included words of advice as well as medicinal teas and often they were just as bitter-tasting. I will miss Felisa Howard very much... her healing, her advice and most of all the inspiration she has provided me throughout the years. Rest in peace, Nana. [Crusher]
A pair of hands. They were moving across my skin. [Crusher]
Like a caress? [Troy]
I did fall asleep reading a particularly erotic chapter in my grandmother's journal. [Crusher]
Well, that's bound to cause a dream or two. [Troy]
I wonder if I'll have another dream tonight. [Crusher]
I'd read two chapters. [Troy]
Who are you?! [Crusher]
I am a spirit. [Ronin]
I don't believe in... [Crusher]
Ghosts?Nor did I in the beginning. I was born in 1647in Glasgow on Earth. [Ronin]
I just wanted to see if you were going to Mok'bara class this morning. [Troy]
Fletcher has more experience with propulsion systems. [Riker]
But Carstairs is better with people. Considering this is a supervisory position I'd go with her. [Troy]
I guess you're right. Didn't we just do crew evaluation reports? [Riker]
Three months ago. [Troy]
Seems like three weeks. Why don't we just give everybody a promotion and call it a night... Commander? [Riker]
Fine with me... Captain. [Troy]
What could be so funny? I mean, what's so funny about crew evaluations? [Lavelle]
Don't worry about it, Sam. [Ogawa]
Can't we just try and have a good time here? [Sito]
How can I have a good time when my career is being decided across the room? Come on. Think promotion. Promotion, promotion, promotion, promotion... [Lavelle]
You can't really believe that what you're doing will influence the outcome of your evaluation. [Taurik]
It's a time-honored strategy, Taurik. [Ogawa]
The vedeks of the Janalan Order maintain a round-the-clock chant for the benefit of the Bajoran people. [sito]
Considering the history of your planet, that doesn't exactly validate what he's doing. [Taurik]
Promote me, please so I can make Lieutenant and have my own room. [Lavelle]
If you are unhappy sharing quarters with me, then you should put in for a new room assignment... just in case you're not promoted. [Taurik]
I've been thinking about who to promote to Ops. [Riker]
The new night duty officer? [Troy]
Mm-hmm. Lavelle is an obvious candidate, but I'm also considering Ensign Sito. [Riker]
So, are they working on crew evaluations? [Lavelle]
Yep. [Ben]
Who are they talking about? [Sito]
Please. [Lavelle]
All right, but I'm not sure you two are going to like it. Apparently, you two are up for the same job. [Ben]
What happened back there, Ensign? [Riker]
I'm sorry, sir. When we changed course I had to relock phasers before I could fire. [Sito]
Next time, try letting the locking relay float until the actual order to fire is given. They may not teach that trick at the Academy, but it works. [Riker]
Lavelle. Resume previous course and speed. [Riker]
Aye, aye, sir. [Lavelle]
One "aye" is sufficient, acknowledgement, Ensign. [Riker]
Helm, change course for the Argaya system, maximum warp. [Picard]
What happened to the rendezvous with the Clement? [Riker]
I've received new orders from Starfleet. We'll discuss it in the observation lounge. Mr. Data, Mr. Worf. [Picard]
Ensign Sito, take over at Ops. [Riker]
Yes, sir. The Argaya system's close to the Cardassian border. I wonder why we're going there. How would you like to be a spider under that table? [Sito]
What? [Lavelle]
A spider under that table. [Sito]
Is that like a fly on the wall? [Lavelle]
You do seem very well suited. [Crusher]
But... I know that in the beginning of a romance it's possible to be a little blind. [Ogawa]
I'm not sure I know what you mean. [Crusher]
Well... canceling a date like that... the way he's been so distant lately... Doctor, do you think those could be warning signs that he's losing interest? [Ogawa]
Alyssa, I think you're overreacting. [Crusher]
Maybe so. [Ogawa]
If I cared about someone as much as you care about Andrew, he'd have to do a lot more than cancel a date before I'd get suspicious. [Crusher]
You're right. [Ogawa]
I'm sure that when this research is over things will be back just the way they were. [Crusher]
Except, of course, that he'll have to deal with Lieutenant Ogawa. [Ogawa]
I only filled in at Ops for a half hour, but I had to degauss the main deflector dish, recalibrate the navigation grid and use internal sensors to find a lost puppy. [Sito]
Ops is a very different challenge from Tactical. [Worf]
What could they be talking about? [Lavelle]
Have you ever considered learning to lip-read? [Taurik]
You think Worf's chewing her out? [Lavelle]
No, he always looks like that. [Ben]
Maybe he's giving her pointers on how to land the Ops position. [Lavelle]
Hi, Will. [Ben]
Ben. [Riker]
You call him Will? [Lavelle]
Why not? [Ben]
He's second-in-command of this ship, that's why not. [Lavelle]
I'm not Starfleet; I'm a civilian. When he's in here, he wants to be treated like a civilian. [Ben]
Riker? I bet he sleeps in his uniform. [Lavelle]
You only think that because he's your CO. If you got to know him... [Ben]
Right. [Lavelle]
He's convinced Commander Riker doesn't like him. [Taurik]
Why? Did you crash the ship into something? [Ben]
No, he just doesn't like me. [Lavelle]
He doesn't even know you. [Taurik]
We're holding position in the Argaya system. [Riker]
Anything? [Picard]
No, sir, I detect no vessels in the vicinity. [Worf]
How close to the Cardassian border are we? [Picard]
Less than 5,000 kilometers, sir. [Data]
Sir, I'm detecting an object five meters in length. It appears to be an escape pod. [Worf]
Dr. Crusher, are you ready? [Picard]
Stand by. Alyssa, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave now. [Crusher]
What are you doing here? [Ogawa]
I'm not supposed to let anyone but the senior officers inside Sick Bay. [Sito]
Do you have any idea what's going on? [Ogawa]
No. Do you? [Sito]
I better go. [Ogawa]
The incident that you were involved in at the Academy. [Picard]
With all due respect, that was three years ago. My record since then... [Sito]
It doesn't matter how long ago it was, Ensign. Would you do something like that again? [Picard]
I can assure you, sir, that I would never never jeopardize lives by participating in... [Sito]
In a daredevil stunt? I would certainly hope not. But what concerns me is that you participated in a cover-up that impeded an official investigation into the death of a cadet. [Picard]
Sir, I know I should have told the truth right from the start... [Sito]
Yes, you should but you didn't. Instead, you joined with the others to pretend that that was simply an accident. Now, what do you think that tells me about your character? [Picard]
Sir, if you had any idea what it was like after that incident... I didn't have any friends. I didn't have anyone to talk to. I had to take my flight test with the instructor because no one else would be my partner. In a lot of ways, it would have been easier to just walk away, but I didn't. I stuck with it. Doesn't that say something about my character, too? [Sito]
Well, I'm really very sorry you didn't enjoy your time at the Academy, Ensign. As far as I'm concerned you should have been expelled for what you did. Quite frankly, I don't know how you made it on board this ship. You're dismissed. [Picard]
I thought Lieutenant Powell was going to join us tonight. [Taurik]
He had to do a double shift. [Ogawa]
That's too bad. He must be the worst poker player I've ever met. [Lavelle]
You know, Sam, maybe you shouldn't try so hard with Riker. It doesn't matter whether he likes you as long as he respects you. [Ogawa]
And he must, otherwise he would not be considering you for the Ops position. [Sito]
You're probably right. Maybe I'm just telling myself that he hates me so that if I don't get promoted, I'll have an excuse. [Lavelle]
You in or not? [Ben]
At this juncture, the odds of my winning this hand are less than 39 to one. [Taurik]
Didn't you tell me that you took up poker so you could be in the officer's game at the Potemkin? [Troy]
I happen to like poker. [Riker]
But your senior officers might have thought that you were trying to ingratiate yourself. I guess it's lucky that they realized that you were young and inexperienced and decided not to hold it against you. [Troy]
Maybe I have been a little hard on Lavelle. [Riker]
I do not believe he is bluffing. [Worf]
I do. Here you go. What have you got? [La Forge]
Flush. [Worf]
I cannot believe this! [La Forge]
I am your worst nightmare. [Riker]
I knew it. [Ben]
How could you tell I was bluffing? [Lavelle]
You don't really expect me to answer that, do you? [Ben]
Come on, Geordi, you don't have to quit just because I'm unbeatable. [Riker]
No, there's something I need to do down in Engineering. I'll get you next time. [La Forge]
What I find curious is that when Commander La Forge saw that the technique I was using was actually more efficient he seemed annoyed. [Taurik]
Of course he was. [Ben]
He didn't like the fact that you knew something he didn't. [Lavelle]
Do you think that I have irreparably damaged my relationship with him? [Taurik]
Well, it depends on what kind of a guy he is. [Lavelle]
Come in. Commander... [Lavelle]
As you were. I dropped by to see Taurik. [La Forge]
What can I do for you, sir? [Taurik]
Well, I'm headed for Engineering to run those tests on the nacelles. Since you've already put in some work on the technique I thought you might like to give me a hand. [La Forge]
Ben, what are you doing here? [Crusher]
I just cleaned out some junior officers and I thought I'd do the same here. [Ben]
You're welcome to give it a try. [Riker]
Ensign Sito. [Worf]
Yes, sir. [Sito]
I also teach an advanced class. I believe you may be ready to participate. However, before you can join the group you must pass the gik'tal. [Worf]
Gik'tal? [Sito]
Yes. It is a very ancient Klingon ritual. It tests your knowledge of the forms of the Mok'bara. [Worf]
Can I ask you something? Why are you doing this... risking your life for Starfleet? [Sito]
I don't consider myself a traitor if that's what you're asking. All my life, I've served in the military. Once, it was an institution dedicated to the security of Cardassia. Now, it's little more than a plat form for ambitious Guls hoping to make their reputations in battle. [Joret Dal]
She must have left on that shuttle. There's no other explanation. [Lavelle]
Do you have any idea where it went? [Ben]
Toward Cardassian space. That's what I'm worried about. Oh, there was one other thing... I noticed the shuttle was damaged... [Lavelle]
Sam, can we talk about something else? [Ogawa]
Well, don't you care what's happened to her? [Lavelle]
Of course. [Ogawa]
But we have to accept the fact that we're not always told about everything that happens aboard ship. [Taurik]
You've taken the engineering qualification three times. You're no closer to passing. [Riker]
Well then I'll take it four times or 14 times, or however many times is necessary for me to get it right. [Troy]
You could spend the next month memorizing all the technical manuals in the computer. I still don't think you'd pass the test. [Riker]
Tell me one thing. Is there a solution, or is this simply a test of my ability to handle a no-win situation? [Troy]
Counselor, have you been promoted in my absence? [Data]
That's right. Which means from now on you can call me "sir." [Troy]
Yes, sir. [Data]
We are losing containment in the starboard nacelle tube. [Data]
Try to get more power to the field coils. Aye, sir. Mr. La Forge, report. I can't shut down the plasma injectors. Somebody's locked out the controls. The plasma venting system has engaged. Two more decks. Riker to Bridge. We've almost reached the nacelle tube. Acknowledged. Release the exterior hull plate. We may have to jettison the core. Aye, sir.
What happened? [Riker]
He locked out the controls. Before we knew what was happening, he stepped up onto the walkway. [Nara]
See if you can help shut down the plasma flow. [Riker]
I'm afraid if we try to get any closer, he will jump through the force field. [Nara]
Dan? It's me. It's Will Riker. I was here yesterday, remember? [Riker]
In my years as a Starfleet Captain, I have had to notify many parents of the loss of loved ones, but never before to suicide. I would like to be able to offer Lieutenant Kwan's parents some explanation of what happened to try to help them make sense of this.
Yes, Reg. What you've got is a mild case of Urodelean flu. Now, it's nothing serious. Most humans have a natural immunity to it. But the T cell in your DNA that would normally fight off the infection is dormant. [Barclay]
Good! Now, stay away from Medical Database. And you stay out of the arboretum. [Crusher]
What was that? [Picard]
Life signs appear to be Klingon. [Data]
Worf. Set your phaser on heavy stun. [Picard]
We can't be certain the stun setting will have any effect on him. A higher setting might kill him. [Data]
You do not understand, Captain. The choice of this planet was not only because of environmental conditions. There were other more... intangible concerns as well. [Anthwara]
Captain, we have been sent here to perform a preliminary survey of all the buildings and equipment being left behind. I have no intention of leaving until our mission is complete. [Evek]
Very well. Complete your mission, but remember this is Federation territory, Gul Evek and until that changes these people are under my jurisdiction and I will protect them. [Picard]
Anthwara believes... that I am responsible for the crimes of one of my ancestors against his people. [Picard]
Do you believe that? [Riker]
No, of course not. I respect his belief, but I do not see how it can have any bearing on this mission. But even so, I can't help wondering... if a dark chapter in my family's history is about to be repeated. If those people take up arms against us, then I cannot foresee the consequences. [Picard]
Do you know what they're trying to do? They're preparing to beam you away and take you to their ship. You're not going to let them do that, are you? [Wesly Crusher]
Sorry. I didn't mean to hit you. [A boy]
What is the meaning of this? [Worf]
I'm sorry. We made fullerenes in chemistry class today and filled them with water. [Alexander]
I asked you to meet me here after school. I have been waiting for you. [Worf]
I forgot. [Alexander]
You forgot because you allowed yourself to be distracted by foolishness. [Worf]
The path of a warrior begins with the First Rite of Ascension. [Worf]
Is that when they hit you with painstiks? [Alexander]
We could use this time to recalibrate the weapons targeting system. [Picard]
Mr. Worf? [Picard]
Lieutenant? Could I have a word with you for a moment? I noticed several times during the briefing that you appeared to be a bit distracted. [Picard]
I apologize. In the future, I will make sure my personal affairs do not interfere with my duties. [Worf]
Do you have any idea who was behind the attack? [Riker]
It is a Klingon matter. It is not your concern. [K'mtar]
One of my officers was almost killed. That makes it my concern. [Riker]
Recently, rumors began to circulate on the Homeworld that an assassination attempt was going to be made on the family of Mogh. Kurn sent me here to make sure nothing happened to Worf. [K'mtar]
Why didn't you warn him before the attack was made? [Riker]
I tried to contact him over subspace. I was told he was not aboard. I decided to beam directly to the surface. [K'mtar]
And why didn't you let us know about it? [Riker]
Forgive me for being blunt, Commander, but when it comes to protecting the house to which I have pledged my life, I trust no one. [K'mtar]
We have other evidence that indicate the Duras sisters, Lursa and B'Etor were behind the attack. [K'mtar]
First, we must find them. [K'mtar]
At one point, they were on Deep Space 9 trying to sell bilitrium explosives. [Riker]
That was months ago. No one knows where they went from there. [K'mtar]
Maybe we can find them. [Riker]
On screen. Quark, I see you remember me. [Riker]
How could I forget the only man ever to win triple down dabo at one of my tables? [Quark]
And how can I forget that you didn't have enough latinum to cover my winnings?
I thought I explained that my brother misplaced the key to the safe. Besides, those vouchers I gave you were every bit as good as latinum. [Quark]
You can spend latinum almost anywhere. Those vouchers are only good at your bar. [Riker]
Is, um... that what this is about? You're on your way and you're calling to reserve a holosuite program? [Quark]
Actually, I was hoping you could help me with something else. [Riker]
What would that be? [Quark]
I'm looking for some Klingon friends of mine... the Duras sisters, Lursa and B'Etor. [Riker]
Yes. Lursa and B'Etor. Big talk, small tips. [Quark]
Could not he have been lying? [K'mtar]
Why would he? I'd just be knocking on his door again in a few days and I wouldn't be in as good a mood. [Riker]
Mr. Data, see if there is any mention of a Jason Vigo in Federation records. You might start with Miranda Vigo. She was born on New Gaul about 50 years ago. [Picard]
Number One, contact the Ferengi government. Find out all you can about Bok. He was wearing a DaiMon's uniform. If he has regained his rank, I want to know why. [Picard]
The Ferengi government is debating an amendment to the Rules of Acquisition. It could be a while before we hear from them. [Riker]
Data found out that the woman you mentioned has a son named Jason. This is the most recent picture we could find. [Riker]
How old is the boy now? [Picard]
Twenty-three. He and his mother left Earth 12 years ago. They settled on Camor V. That's all we know. The planet's records are virtually nonexistent. [Riker]
Will... I do appreciate your not asking, but I do think that you have a right to know. There is a possibility that the boy is my son. I was involved with his mother for a short time about... well, 24 years ago. We met through a friend when I was on shore leave on Earth. It was, uh... all very romantic, very intense probably because we both knew that I would be leaving in two weeks and we kept in touch for a while but we never managed to get together again. [Picard]
She never said anything to you about being pregnant? [Riker]
No. So either Bok is wrong, and I'm not the father or Miranda decided to raise the child alone which, quite frankly, wouldn't surprise me. She was very independent... very strong-willed. [Picard]
Are you Jason Vigo? [Picard]
I, uh... I know him. Is he in trouble? [Vigo]
In a manner of speaking. Someone has made a threat against his life. Jason, I'm an old friend of your mother's. I'm here because you're in danger. [Picard]
Captain, incoming message from DaiMon Birta. [Data]
Put it on screen. Thank you for taking the time to talk with us, DaiMon.
I understand you have a problem. [Birta]
Yes, it concerns DaiMon Bok. [Picard]
Bok is no DaiMon. He was relieved of command six years ago. He was unstable, dangerous. We had to confine him to Rog Prison. [Birta]
Do you know his whereabouts now? [Picard]
I understand he was seen in the Dorias Cluster not too long ago. [Birta]
But that cluster consists of more than 20 star systems. [Picard]
You don't have to thank me, Captain. [Birta]
My calculations indicate the probe was launched in the Xendi Sabu system. [Data]
I think I need to talk to a parent. [Picard]
Keep in mind he's had 20 years to be angry that his father wasn't there. It's going to take some time to get over those feelings, but I do think it's possible. [Crusher]
I'm concerned that he may try to take Jason. Is there any way we can protect him? [Picard]
You know, we might be able to keep a signal lock on him at all times. If Bok tries to beam him away we might be able to hold him here. [La Forge]
Make it so. [Picard]
Would you wait outside? [Picard]
Captain's Log, Stardate 47941.7. The Enterprise is en route to a briefing on the situation in the Demilitarized Zone along the Cardassinan border. Meanwhile, we are celebrating the return of an old friend. [Picard]
Did you see the buffet? [Crusher]
This is real Bajoran foraiga. [Troy]
We're receiving a distress signal from a Cardassian ship near the Demilitarized Zone. [Riker]
Change course to intercept. I'm on my way. I, um... I'd like you at the conn, Lieutenant. [Picard]
The Maquies. [Picard]
The Cardassian shields are down to 30%. [Worf]
Gul Evek. I'm sorry that we could not come to your aid sooner.
I suppose we're lucky you came at all. Lately, Starfleet seems to look the other way when the Maquis attack. [Evek]
I can assure you that is not the case. We are doing everything in our power to control them. [Picard]
The fact that my ship was attacked suggests your efforts have met with limited success. They came at us with photon torpedoes and type-8 phasers. Now, tell me, Captain. How do you suppose that a group of civilians acquired such weaponry? [Evek]
I can assure you that it was not through official channels. [Picard]
So, you don't think the fact that some of the Maquis are former Starfleet officers has anything to do with it? [Evek]
We have taken measures to deal with our colonists who have armed themselves. [Evek]
Considering that they destroyed a Juhrayan freighter less than a week ago, I would say that your efforts are meeting with limited success. [Picard]
Starfleet wants me to infiltrate the Maquis? [Ro]
Because of you recent training, because you're Bajoran and because of your past troubles with Starfleet. It gives you a certain credibility. [Picard]
I've heard a lot about the Maquis. One of my instructors at Tactical Training, a Lieutenant Commander in Starfleet-- a man I both admired and respected-- he was sympathetic to them. He resigned and left to join them. [Ro]
We're all sympathetic, Lieutenant. Our civilian population in the Demilitarized Zone is in a very difficult situation, but even sympathy has to end at some point. A peace treaty isn't just a piece of paper. If the Maquis force us into a war with Cardassia, it could mean hundreds of thousands of lives. Two years ago, Starfleet would never have tapped you for this mission. They must have a lot of confidence in you now. [Picard]
Starfleet considers you outlaws. They're afraid you'll destroy the peace treaty. [Ro]
They don't understand the situation here in the Zone. I lived in Juhraya. When the treaty was signed, the colony suddenly found itself in Cardassian territory. Some of us chose to stay, take our chances. Then one night, I was dragged from my bed beaten. The authorities clucked their tongues and agreed it was an unfortunate incident and did nothing. [Macias]
Hasperat. [Macias]
We're approaching the Federation border. [Ro]
How do you plan to get out of the Demilitarized Zone without being searched at one of the checkpoints? [Kalita]
This is insane. We're sitting here-- no sensors, blind to the outside-- waiting for a Galaxy-class starship to come swooping down on us. [Kalita]
Captain, the computer has detected a piggyback communication on the last distress signal. [Worf]
The Enterprise shields have a week point. When the ship is at impulse, the thrust destabilizes the shield configuration right at this point. I'm going to try to punch through there. [Ro]
There are rumors that the Cardassians are supplying their colonists with biogenic weapons. [Ro]
Frankly, I find that hard to believe. Every ship that enters the Demilitarized Zone is being searched. [Picard]
That was an incredible program. [Troy]
I am glad you approve. I have always found the Black Sea at night to be a most stimulating experience. [Worf]
Next time, I'll choose the program. If you liked the Black Sea, you're going to love Lake Cataria on Betazed. [Troy]
I had this feeling that I'd physically left the Enterprise. I was in another time, another place. I was somewhere in the past. [Picard]
Can you describe where you were? What it looked like? [Troy]
You see, it's all slipping away so fast. I-It's like... it's like waking up from a nightmare. I, uh... It was years ago. I-I-It was before I took command of the Enterprise. I was talking to someone. I can't remember who. And then it all changed. I was no longer in the past. I was now... I was now an old man in the future. And... I was outside, and I was doing something. I can't remember what it was. I'm sorry. It's, it's all gone. I just can't remember. [Picard]
It's all right. Have you considered the possibility that this was just a dream? [Troy]
At first, I had a sense of... a sense of confusion, disorientation. I wasn't sure where I was. And then all of that passed and it all seemed perfectly natural as though I belonged in that time. But... I can't... [Picard]
Captain Picard to the Bridge. Captain, we've got a problem with the warp core or the phase inducers or some other damn thing. Hello, Captain. Or should I call you Ambassador? [La Forge]
Oh, I haven't been called that for some time, either. [Picard]
How about "Mr. Picard"? [La Forge]
How about "Jean-Luc"? [Picard]
I don't think I could get used to that. [La Forge]
Good Lord, Geordi. Well... how long has it been? [Picard]
Nine years. [La Forge]
No, no, no, since you last called me Captain... since we were all together on the Enterprise. [Picard]
Close to 25 years. [La Forge]
25 years. Well, time has been good to you. [Picard]
A little too good in some places. Can I give you a hand here? [La Forge]
Oh, well, I'm, uh... I'm just tying up some vines. [Picard]
Mmm, you've got leaf miners. You might want to try a bacillus spray. My wife is quite a gardener. I've picked up a little bit of it. [La Forge]
How is Leah? [Picard]
Just wonderful, busy as ever. She's just been made director of the Daystrom Institute. [La Forge]
So, what brings you here? [Picard]
Oh, I just thought I'd stop by. Been thinking about the old days on the Enterprise. I was in the neighborhood. [La Forge]
Geordi... you don't make the trip from Rigel III to Earth just to drop by. So... you heard. [Picard]
Leah's got a few friends at Starfleet Medical. Word gets around. [La Forge]
I'm not an invalid. Irumodic Syndrome can take years to run its course. [Picard]
I know. But once I heard... well, I just wanted to stop by, just the same. [La Forge]
Well, now that you're here you can help me carry those tools. Well, my cooking may not be up to Leah's standards, but I can still make a decent cup of tea. [Picard]
I was asking if you'd ever been aboard a Galaxy-class starship before. [Yar]
No. Of course, I'm familiar with the blueprints and the specifications, but this will be my first time on board. [Picard]
Have I done something wrong, sir? [Yar]
I just finished the neurographic scan. I didn't find anything that would cause hallucinations or a psychogenic reaction. [Crusher]
Is there any indication of temporal displacement? [Troy]
No. Usually, a temporal shift would leave some sort of tripamine residue in the cerebral cortex, but the scan didn't show any. Personally, I think you just enjoy waking everybody up in the middle of the night. [Crusher]
Has Worf found anything? [Picard]
No, sir, his security scans came up negative. [Riker]
I wasn't dreaming. Something happened. [Picard]
Sir, there is an incoming transmission from Admiral Nakamura. It is a priority one message. [Worf]
Captain. I am initiating a fleet-wide Yellow Alert. Starfleet Intelligence has picked up some alarming reports from the Romulan Empire. It appears that at least 30 warbirds have been pulled from other assignments and headed for the Neutral Zone. [Nakamura]
Captain, I think we should go back to the house and call your doctor. [La Forge]
Yes, yes, I know what you're thinking. It's the Irumodic Syndrome. "He's beginning to lose his mind, the old man." Well, it's not that, and I'm not daydreaming either. [Picard]
Well, all right. All right. So, what do you want to do about it? [La Forge]
Data. I want to see Data. 'Cause I think he can help. [Picard]
Well, okay, then. All right, let's... let's go see Data. He's still at Cambridge, isn't he? [La Forge]
I... Yes, I-I-I think he is. You see them, don't you? They're everywhere. They're laughing at me. Why are they laughing? [Picard]
Come on, Captain. Let's go see Data. [La Forge]
I know how it sounds, but it happened. It was real. I was there, back on board the Enterprise. [Picard]
How do you like your tea? [a housekeeper]
Tea? Earl Grey. Hot. [Picard]
Of course it's hot. What do you want in it? [a housekeeper]
Nothing. Well, Data, I must say this is a fine place you have here. They certainly treat professors very well at Cambridge. [Picard]
Holding the Lucasian Chair does have its perquisites. This house originally belonged to Sir Isaac Newton when he held the position. It's become the traditional residence. [Data]
If you're really his friend you'll get him to take that gray out of his hair. Looks like a bloody skunk. [a house keeper]
Captain, we'll get to the bottom of this. [Data]
That's the Data that I remember. I knew that I could count on you... [Picard]
Personal log, Stardate 41153.7. Recorded under security lockout Omega three-two-seven. I have decided not to inform this crew of my experiences. If it's true that I've traveled to the past, I cannot risk giving them foreknowledge of what's to come. [Picard]
Chief O'Brien, am I right in thinking that you're having a problem with the warp plasma inducers? [Picard]
That's right, sir. [O’Brien]
Well, I know how to get them back on line. You're with me. We'll be in Main Engineering. [Picard]
Oh. Yes, sir. I'll get right to these modifications. Fletcher, tell Munoz and Lee to get up here right away. We have to realign the entire power grid. We'll all be burning the midnight oil on this one. [O'Brien]
That would be inadvisable. [Data]
Excuse me? [O’Brien]
If you attempt to ignite a petroleum product on this ship at 00:00 hours, you will activate the fire suppression system witch would seal off this entire compartment. [Data]
That was just an expression. [O'Brien]
Expression of what? [Data]
A figure of speech. I was trying to tell him that we'd be working late. [O'Brien]
Ah. Then "to burn the midnight oil" implies late work. [Data]
Commander Data... welcome on board. It's so very good to see you. [Picard]
It is good to see you, too, sir. [Data]
I could use your help with the infuser array. As you can see, we're having problems with the plasma conduits. [Picard]
This will need a completely new field induction subprocessor. It appears we will be required to ignite the midnight petroleum, sir. [Data]
Counselor, do you remember when I first came on board the Enterprise? What happened after the welcoming ceremony? [Picard]
There was a reception in Ten-Forward. I introduced you to Worf and the other senior officers. [Troy]
Deanna, it's going to be a late night. Would you like to have some dinner first? [Riker]
Actually, I... We have plans. [Troy]
Oh, I see. I'm sorry. I'll see you in the morning. [Worf]
Good night, sir. [Worf]
Worf. [Riker]
You have the Bridge, Number One. I'll... I'll be in my ready room. [Picard]
Milk, warm. A dash of nutmeg. A prescription. A glass of warm milk and eight hours' uninterrupted sleep. Doctor's orders. You're exhausted. Look, I don't know whether you slept in the past or in the future but I'm sure you haven't slept in the present. Now, get some rest, or I'll have you relieved and sedated. [Crusher]
Yes, sir. [Picard]
As a physician, it's often my job to give people unpleasant news... to tell them that they need surgery or that they can't have children or that they might be facing a difficult illness. [Crusher]
But you said yourself that this is only a possibility. [Picard]
But you've been to the future. You know it's going to happen. [Crusher]
I prefer to look on the future as something which is not written in stone. A lot of things can happen in 25 years. [Picard]
A lot of things can happen. [Crusher]
In the other two time periods Starfleet reported... a... a-a-a sort of a... a spatial anomaly in-in-in... in the Devron system. In the Devron system in the Neutral Zone. I-I-If the anomaly appeared there in the past then it might be here, too, and we have to find out. [Picard]
Just because you've seen it in two other time frames doesn't mean that it's going to be here. [La Forge]
Yeah, but if it is here, then it means something! Damn it, Geordi! I-I know what we have to do! [Picard]
Well... if we're going to the Devron system, we're going to need a ship. [La Forge]
Right. Now... I think it's time to call in some old favors. Contact... Admiral Riker, Starbase 247. [Picard]
Jean-Luc, you know I'd like to help, but frankly, what you're asking for is impossible. The Klingons have closed their borders to all Federation starships. [Riker]
Damn him, anyway. After all we've been through together. He's been sitting behind that desk too long. [Picard]
Well, this is a page from the past. I never thought I'd see either of you on a starship again. Geordi. Data. [Crusher]
Uh... Let's just choose one. [Picard]
All right... [Crusher]
Oh. So, did you get my message? [Picard]
Yes. Jean-Luc, crossing into Klingon territory... it's absurd. But then, I never could say no to you. [Crusher]
Oh, so that's why you married me. [Picard]
Mon Capitain. I thought you'd never get here. [Q]
Q, I knew it. What's going on? [Picard]
Oh, I expected as much. You're such a limited creature... a perfect example of why we made our decision. The trial never ended, Captain. We never reached a verdict. But now we have. You're guilty. [Q]
Guilty of what? [Picard]
Of being inferior. Seven years ago, I said we'd be watching you and we have been. Hoping that your ape-like race would demonstrate some growth, give some indication that your minds had room for expansion. But what have we seen, instead? You worrying about Commander Riker's career... listening to Counselor Troi's pedantic psycho-babble... indulging Data in his witless exploration of humanity. [Q]
You're going to deny us travel through space? [Picard]
No... You obtuse piece of flotsam. You're to be denied existence. Humanity's fate has been sealed. You will be destroyed. [Q]
Q, I do not believe that even you are capable of such an act. [Picard]
"I"? There you go again... always blaming me for everything. Well, this time, I'm not your enemy. I'm not the one that causes the annihilation of mankind. You are. [Q]
Me? [Picard]
That's right. You're doing it right now. You did it before, and you'll do it yet again. [Q]
I don't believe him. This has to be another one of Q's games. He's probably listening to us right now getting a big laugh out of watching us jump through his hoops. [La Forge]
And normally, I would agree with you but this time I feel that somehow it is different. There was a deadly earnestness about him. I think he's serious... which means that, in some fashion I am going to be the cause of the destruction of humanity.
But didn't Q say you already had caused it? [Crusher]
And that you were causing it now? [Troy]
Given the fact that there is an apparent discontinuity between the three time periods the Captain has visited Q's statement may be accurate, if confusing. [Data]
So, what am I going to do? Lock myself in a room in all the three different time periods? [Picard]
Beverly, I cannot believe that you are not willing to stay here until we... [Picard]
Don't you ever question my orders on the Bridge of my ship again. [Crusher]
Damn it! I was just trying to... Look, there are larger concerns here. What you don't understand is... [Picard]
I understand that you would never have tolerated that kind of behavior back on the Enterprise, and I won't here. I don't care if you're my ex-Captain or my ex-husband. [Crusher]
You're right. I was out of line. It won't happen again. But what you have to understand is what is at stake here. Q has said that all of humanity will be destroyed. [Picard]
I know. That's why I've allowed us to stay here longer and keep looking. But I also want you to allow for the possibility that none of what you're saying is real. Jean-Luc, I care for you too much not to tell you the truth. You have advanced Irumodic Syndrome. It's possible that all of this is in your mind. I'll stay here six hours longer and then we're heading home. I want you to remember... if it were anyone else but you, we wouldn't even be here. [Crusher]
Eh? What was that she said, sonny? I couldn't quite hear her. [Q]
Q? What is going on here? Where is the anomaly? [Picard]
Where's your mommy? Well, I don't know. [Q]
Answer me! [Picard]
There is an answer, Jean-Luc, but I can't hand it to you. Although you do have help. [Q]
What help? [Picard]
You're not alone, you know. What you were, and what you are to become will always be with you. [Q]
My time shifting... the answer does lie there, doesn't it? Now, tell me one thing. This anomaly we're looking for will that destroy humanity? [Picard]
You're forgetting, Jean-Luc. You destroy humanity. [Q]
By-by doing what? When? How can? [Picard]
The anomaly is 200 million kilometers in diameter. It is a highly-focused temporal energy source which is emitting approximately the same energy output as ten G-type stars. [Data]
What is the source of this energy? [Picard]
I am uncertain, sir. Sensors are unable to penetrate the anomaly. [Data]
What if we modified the main deflector to emit an inverse tachyon pulse that might be able to scan beyond the subspace barrier? That might give us some idea of what the interior of this thing looks like. [Picard]
That is a most intriguing idea, sir. I do not believe a tachyon beam was ever used in such a way. I had no idea you were so versed in the intricacies of temporal theory, sir. [Picard]
I have some friends who are well-versed in it. Make it so. [Picard]
I believe we can make the necessary modifications in Main Engineering, sir. [Data]
We can get more power if we reroute the primary EPS taps to the deflector array. [La Forge]
This is amazing. The DNA in his optic nerves is regenerating. Geordi, it's as if you're growing new eyes. It shouldn't be possible at all. There's no medical explanation for spontaneous regeneration of an organ. [Crusher]
Captain, I believe I have a partial explanation. I have completed my analysis of the anomaly. It appears to be a multiphasic temporal convergence in the space-time continuum. [Data]
In English, Data. [Crusher]
It is, in essence, an eruption of anti-time. A relatively new concept in temporal mechanics. The relationship between anti-time and normal time is analogous to the relationship between anti-matter and normal matter. [Data]
Geordi, we need more warp power... now. [Crusher]
I'm trying, Captain. They're too much for us. I can't keep the phase inducers on line. [La Forge]
Shields down to nine percent. One more hit, and they'll collapse. [an officer]
Open a channel. This is Captain Beverly Picard. We are a medical ship on a mission of mercy. Please break off all... Worf, signal our surrender. [Crusher]
Tos Vah'cha do Worf. Do'lo jegh! [Worf]
Captain? Another ship is decloaking... bearing 215, mark 310. It's the Enterprise. [Data]
I had a feeling you weren't going to listen to me. Stand by. I'll see if I can get the Klingons' attention. [Riker]
The Enterprise is drawing their fire. [Worf]
Damage report. [Crusher]
The warp core has been badly damaged. There's a breach in progress. [La Forge]
We have to stop it. [Picard]
The Klingon ship is disengaging. Admiral Riker is hailing us. [Data]
Our sensors indicate your ship has a warp core breach in progress. Prepare for emergency beam-out. [Riker]
All the Pasteur's crew are safely on board, Admiral. [an Officer]
Raise the shields. Where are the Klingons? [Riker]
They're still moving off, sir. Half a light-year away. [an Officer]
They'll be back. As I said, I figured you wouldn't take no for an answer. But I thought you had more sense than to send a defenseless ship across the border into hostile territory with no escort. [Riker]
If you had not turned down the Captain when he came to you for help, none of this would have happened! But unlike you, I still have a sense of honor and loyalty. [Worf]
Mr. Data, how close are you to completing the tachyon scan? [Picard]
Approximately one hour, 45 minutes, sir. [Data]
Good. When it's done, I want you to find some way of collapsing this anomaly without making things worse. Give me a risk analysis of whatever solution you come up with. Dismissed. [Picard]
It's a pretty big decision, Jean-Luc. Tinkering with an anomaly you know nothing about. Trying to collapse it. Isn't that risky? [Q]
Let's concentrate on how this anomaly was initially formed. Speculation. [Picard]
Our tachyon pulse has been unable to completely penetrate the anomaly. If we had information on the center of the phenomenon, we might have a basis for speculation. [Data]
Is there any way that we can scan the interior? [Picard]
I've tried everything I know. There's just too much interference. There's nothing on board that'll do the job. [O’Brien]
Do you know what could? [Picard]
In theory, a tomographic imaging scanner capable of multiphasic resolution would be able to penetrate this much interference. The Daystrom Institute has been working on such a device, but it is still only theoretical. [Data]
Data, do we have a tomographic imaging scanner on board? Can you use it to scan the interior of the anomaly? [Picard]
Possibly. There is a great deal of interference, but I am getting some readings. This is very unusual. [Data]
What is it? [Picard]
It appears that our tachyon pulse is converging with two other tachyon pulses at the center of the anomaly. The two other pulses have the exact same amplitude modulation. It is as if all three originated from the Enterprise. [Data]
Computer, where is Admiral Riker? [Picard]
Admiral Riker is in Ten-Forward. [Computer]
The ship has held up pretty well over the years. [La Forge]
They tried to decommission her about five years ago. One of the advantages of being an Admiral is you get to choose your own ship. [Riker]
Will? How long is this thing between you and Worf going to go on? [Crusher]
It's been going on for over 20 years. Doesn't look like it's going to end anytime soon. [Riker]
I suspect the last thing Counselor Troi would have wanted is for the two of you to be alienated. [Data]
I agree. I think it's time to put it behind you. [Crusher]
I tried at Deanna's funeral. He wouldn't even talk with me. [Riker]
Might have been tough for him then. He took her death pretty hard. [La Forge]
Oh, yeah? Well, he wasn't the only one. [Riker]
I know, but I think, in his mind, you were the reason that he and Deanna never got together. [Crusher]
I never did anything to stand in his way. [Riker]
Didn't you, Will? [Crusher]
Did I? I didn't want to admit that it was over. I always thought that we would get together again. And then she was gone. You think you have all the time in the world, until... Yeah. [Riker]
Ensign... how do I get to Ten-Forward? [Picard]
It's four decks down, sir. Section 005. [an Ensign]
Damn it, Will, I know why it's happening! We caused the anomaly with the tachyon pulse. It happened three times, Will. We did it in three different time periods. Will, the tachyon pulses... they were used in the same spot in three different time periods. Don't you see? Wh-when the tachyon pulse used... I mean, uh... I mean, when the Pasteur used the tachyon pulse, then, then... we, uh... I mean, everything started, Will. We-we set everything in motion. It... it's like the chicken and the egg, Will. The chicken and the egg! We think it started in the past, but it didn't. It started right here, in the future. That's why it's getting larger in the past. [Picard]
Riker to Bridge. Set a course for the Devron system, maximum warp. Worf, we could use a hand. [Riker]
Entering the Devron system, sir. [an Officer]
Sensors are picking up a small temporal anomaly off the port bow. [Data]
It's an anti-time eruption. It seems to have been formed within the last six hours. [La Forge]
We must stop it here so that it can't travel back through time. [Picard]
Mr. Data, we need a solution and we need it now. [Riker]
The anomaly is being sustained by the continuing tachyon pulses from the other two time periods. I suggest shutting them down. [Data]
The next time I'm there, it's the first thing I'll do. [Picard]
I've shut off the tachyon pulses in the other two time periods, but it hasn't changed the anomaly. [Picard]
The only way to stop this thing is to repair the rupture at the focal point where time and anti-time are converging. [La Forge]
How do we do that? [Riker]
It would require taking the ship into the anomaly itself. Once inside, we may be able to use the engines to create a static warp shell. [Data]
Initiate warp shell. [Picard]
Initiating static warp shell now. [Data]
Both of the other ships have been destroyed. [Data]
Two down, one to go. [Q]
Data, report. [Picard]
The anomaly is nearly collapsed. [Data]
We're losing containment. [La Forge]
Good-by, Jean-Luc. I'm going to miss you. You had such potential. But then again, all good things must come to an end. [Q]
Containment field is at critical! I'm losing it! [La Forge]
The Continuum didn't think you had it in you, Jean-Luc, but I knew you did. [Q]
Are you saying that it worked? We collapsed the anomaly? [Picard]
Is that all this meant to you? Just another spatial anomaly? Just another day at the office? [Q]
Did it work? [Picard]
Well, you're here, aren't you? You're talking to me, aren't you? [Q]
What about my crew? [Picard]
"The anomaly... my ship... my crew..." I suppose you're worried about your fish, too. Well, if it puts your mind at ease, you've saved humanity... once again. [Q]
Thank you. [Picard]
For what? [Q]
You had a hand in helping me get out of this. [Picard]
I was the one that got you into it... a directive from the Continuum. The part about the helping hand, though... was my idea. [Q]
I sincerely hope that this is the last time that I find myself here. [Picard]
You just don't get it, do you, Jean-Luc? The trial never ends. We wanted to see if you had the ability to expand your mind and your horizons. And for one brief moment, you did. [Q]
When I realized the paradox. [Picard]
Exactly. For that one fraction of a second, you were open to options you had never considered. That is the exploration that awaits you. Not mapping stars and studying nebulae, but charting the unknown possibilities of existence. [Q]
Q, what is it that you're trying to tell me? [Picard]
You'll find out. In any case, I'll be watching. And if you're very lucky, I'll drop by to say hello from time to time. See you... out there. [Q]
