1. - Can't you ever just let go?
- Let go?
Copy !req
2. The place is almost deserted.
Copy !req
3. There hasn't been a ship in for three days
Copy !req
4. and yet you sit there like
a Baneriam hawk looking for prey.
Copy !req
5. This is your chance to relax.
Copy !req
6. I could set you up
with a terrific holosuite programme.
Copy !req
7. I don't accept gifts
from the likes of you.
Copy !req
8. Who mentioned gifts?
You pay like everyone else.
Copy !req
9. - I'm just getting you in.
- I have no time for fantasies.
Copy !req
10. - No imagination?
- A waste of time.
Copy !req
11. People dream of places they'll never go,
Copy !req
12. wish for things instead
of paying attention to their real lives.
Copy !req
13. I could create a shape-shifter playmate
for you.
Copy !req
14. The two of you could... intermingle.
Copy !req
15. You're disgusting.
Copy !req
16. It's a living.
Copy !req
17. You don't allow Jake
in your holosuites, I hope.
Copy !req
18. It's not what you think.
Copy !req
19. You see that thing on his hand?
It's a baseball mitten.
Copy !req
20. Every afternoon, the boy goes up to play.
Copy !req
21. His father brought a programme
with famous players.
Copy !req
22. You ever hear of Tris Speaker
or Ted Williams or Buck Bokai?
Copy !req
23. - Afraid not.
- Neither did I until I tried to find out.
Copy !req
24. With all these humans coming now
Copy !req
25. the true entrepreneur
knows how to... sniff the wind.
Copy !req
26. Try it. Go ahead.
Copy !req
27. I have no sense of smell.
Copy !req
28. You don't need one to detect
the scent of opportunity.
Copy !req
29. Opportunity!
Copy !req
30. Family entertainment.
That's the future, Odo.
Copy !req
31. There's a fortune to be made.
Copy !req
32. Little holocreatures running around.
Copy !req
33. Rides and games for the kiddies.
Copy !req
34. Ferengis standing
in every doorway selling...
Copy !req
35. useless souvenirs.
Copy !req
36. You'd replace sexual holoprogrammes
with family entertainment?
Copy !req
37. No, I'm expanding.
Copy !req
38. I want next door so I can use
the same hologenerators.
Copy !req
39. You're still disgusting.
Copy !req
40. Till the day I die.
Copy !req
41. I'm sure you're exaggerating.
Copy !req
42. You are constantly in my thoughts.
I can't even...
Copy !req
43. That was two raktajinos, extra strong.
Copy !req
44. I can't even concentrate.
Copy !req
45. You seemed to be concentrating just fine
Copy !req
46. on the Junior Lieutenant
at the reception for Captain Stadius.
Copy !req
47. She was a poor substitute for you.
Copy !req
48. And the Betazoid envoy
who was here last week.
Copy !req
49. A barely...
Copy !req
50. adequate substitute for you.
Copy !req
51. Julian, you are a wonderful friend.
Copy !req
52. I enjoy the time we spend together.
Copy !req
53. Stop. You're driving a stake
through my heart.
Copy !req
54. Try a high-pitched sonic shower.
Copy !req
55. - It will make you feel better.
- No, it won't.
Copy !req
56. I've already tried it.
Copy !req
57. Sorry I'm late.
I had dinner with Julian.
Copy !req
58. - How is our young doctor?
- Young. Anything going on?
Copy !req
59. We were looking at
an unusual energy reading.
Copy !req
60. Elevated thoron emissions
in the plasma field.
Copy !req
61. It might be
an environmental by-product
Copy !req
62. created by increased traffic.
Copy !req
63. It could be.
Ships avoid the Denorios Belt.
Copy !req
64. We have no idea how
so many engines might affect it.
Copy !req
65. The question is -
will this cause us any problems?
Copy !req
66. We were hoping you could tell us.
Copy !req
67. "... the queen's messenger
watched the little man
Copy !req
68. "as he danced, sang and laughed.
Copy !req
69. "How he would soon have
the daughter he wanted
Copy !req
70. "because they would never guess
that his name was... "
Copy !req
71. - Rumpelstiltskin.
- Right!
Copy !req
72. "And the next day
when the little man came and asked,
Copy !req
73. "Now, Mrs Queen, what is my name? '
Copy !req
74. "She said, at first,
'Well, are you called Jack? '
Copy !req
75. "No,"he answered.
Copy !req
76. "Are you called Harry?"
Copy !req
77. "No,"he answered.
Copy !req
78. "And then she said,
'Then perhaps your name is...?"
Copy !req
79. - Rumpelstiltskin!
- "Rumpelstiltskin. '
Copy !req
80. "At the sound of his own name
Copy !req
81. "the old man was so furious
Copy !req
82. "that he stamped his foot,
shaking the entire kingdom,
Copy !req
83. "and he broke in two and disappeared.
Copy !req
84. "And the king and the queen
and their daughter
Copy !req
85. "lived happily ever after. "
Copy !req
86. Good night, little one.
Copy !req
87. - Sweet dreams.
- I'm not tired.
Copy !req
88. Uh, uh, uh. None of that.
Copy !req
89. Good night, sweetheart.
Copy !req
90. Shall I tuck you in
with a bedtime story, too?
Copy !req
91. - Only if you're tucked in with me.
- Naturally.
Copy !req
92. Mommy?
Copy !req
93. - What is it, honey?
- He's in my room.
Copy !req
94. - Who?
- Rumpelstiltskin.
Copy !req
95. Sweetheart...
Copy !req
96. that was just make-believe.
Copy !req
97. Rumpelstiltskin isn't real, OK?
Copy !req
98. All right. I'll come in and check,
but then it's bedtime.
Copy !req
99. Why do we tell her stories
about evil dwarfs that steal children?
Copy !req
100. Don't look so distraught.
Copy !req
101. I'm only here to offer you my services
if you should need them.
Copy !req
102. STAR TREK
DEEP SPACE NINE
Copy !req
103. - Take her out of here.
- What's wrong?
Copy !req
104. "IF WISHES WERE HORSES"
Copy !req
105. - Miles, what...
- Please, just go.
Copy !req
106. A pity you're sending the ladies away.
Copy !req
107. All the life just went out of the room.
Copy !req
108. O'Brien to Security.
Copy !req
109. Intruder alert.
Send a team to my quarters immediately.
Copy !req
110. 'On our way, Chief. '
Copy !req
111. So where's the straw?
Copy !req
112. I assume you want gold spun from straw.
Copy !req
113. What are you?
Copy !req
114. Surely you must know.
Copy !req
115. You told the little one all about me.
Copy !req
116. I know what you look like, but you're not...
Copy !req
117. Don't say it!
I don't like the sound of it, you know.
Copy !req
118. Rumpelstiltskin.
Copy !req
119. You didn't think that would
make me disappear, did you?
Copy !req
120. Not this time. I learned my lesson
back in the kingdom.
Copy !req
121. I don't make deals like that anymore.
Copy !req
122. The local constabularies.
Copy !req
123. Show me a bit of courtesy
and I'll be very pleasant,
Copy !req
124. but touch me and you'll regret it.
Copy !req
125. Besides, I'm much too fast for you.
Copy !req
126. And now, my good host,
if gold is not your pleasure,
Copy !req
127. tell me your needs and I'll tell you my price.
Copy !req
128. - O'Brien to Sisko.
- Go ahead, Chief.
Copy !req
129. - 'I need you in my quarters. '
- I'm on my way.
Copy !req
130. - Dad, I've got to talk to you.
- I don't have time. I'm...
Copy !req
131. Hello, Ben.
Copy !req
132. He followed me home from the holosuite.
Copy !req
133. - Jadzia!
- Hello, Julian.
Copy !req
134. - What are you doing?
- Waiting for you to wake up.
Copy !req
135. - I'm awake.
- Is something wrong?
Copy !req
136. Funny, I was about
to ask you the same question.
Copy !req
137. It must be this Larosian virus
that's been going around.
Copy !req
138. - How do you feel?
- Wonderful.
Copy !req
139. No fever.
Copy !req
140. Must be me! Must be me.
Copy !req
141. Must be an allergic reaction
Copy !req
142. to the replicated antipasto
I had at lunch.
Copy !req
143. Perhaps... I must be hallucinating.
Copy !req
144. - Why are you fighting this?
- Why am I fighting this?
Copy !req
145. Why... am I fighting this?
Copy !req
146. I have no good answer to that question.
Copy !req
147. 'All senior officers
report to Ops immediately. '
Copy !req
148. OK. I get it.
Copy !req
149. Very funny.
Did O'Brien put you up to this?
Copy !req
150. I don't know what you're talking about.
Copy !req
151. "Senior officers to Ops. "
Copy !req
152. Everybody has a good laugh
at my expense.
Copy !req
153. - This is not a joke, Julian.
- We'll see.
Copy !req
154. Ah, good.
We have a small mystery on our hands.
Copy !req
155. Lieutenant Jadzia Dax
and Dr Julian Bashir,
Copy !req
156. meet Harmon Bokai,
a baseball player
Copy !req
157. who's been dead for 200 years.
Copy !req
158. I can't figure it out either.
Copy !req
159. And a medieval fairy-tale character
named Rumpelstiltskin.
Copy !req
160. Fine. Now everyone knows my name.
Copy !req
161. Until today, he only existed in storybooks.
Copy !req
162. A pleasure, I'm sure.
Copy !req
163. Could this be related to increased
thoron emissions in the plasma field?
Copy !req
164. Thoron emissions?
Copy !req
165. I think you'd better ask me, Benjamin.
Copy !req
166. I was hitting a few to the boy.
Copy !req
167. He's been moving well onto the ball.
Copy !req
168. We would have worked
on some base running
Copy !req
169. except he was hungry
and I was, too.
Copy !req
170. - A hologram with an appetite?
- Hologram?
Copy !req
171. On the contrary, Major.
He's quite real.
Copy !req
172. They all seem to be.
Copy !req
173. What the hell are they talking about, Ben?
Copy !req
174. You. You're not actually Buck Bokai.
Copy !req
175. So how come I'm wearing his uniform?
Copy !req
176. You're a hologram that I created
Copy !req
177. so we could play ball with you.
Copy !req
178. But I remember.
Copy !req
179. I remember all the games.
All the opening days.
Copy !req
180. The homer that won the '42 World Series.
Copy !req
181. The squeaker that went
under Eddie Newson's glove.
Copy !req
182. The day I broke
DiMaggio's consecutive streak.
Copy !req
183. I programmed it into the computer.
Copy !req
184. All of it. Every statistic.
Copy !req
185. What foreign tongue are they speaking?
Copy !req
186. This one didn't
come out of any holosuite.
Copy !req
187. He came out of your imagination,
like Buck came out of Jake's.
Copy !req
188. His imagination?
Copy !req
189. Then I must have come out
of your imagination, Julian.
Copy !req
190. Not necessarily.
Copy !req
191. Well... maybe.
Copy !req
192. How could this sort of thing
possibly happen?
Copy !req
193. A subspace disruption.
Copy !req
194. Maybe some kind of dimensional shift.
Copy !req
195. I didn't see an anomaly on the plasma field
Copy !req
196. but the sensors could have missed it.
Copy !req
197. Julian, let's go to your quarters.
Copy !req
198. Please. I haven't got time for this.
Copy !req
199. - 'Odo to Sisko. '
- Go ahead.
Copy !req
200. - 'Do you have something to tell me? '
- Constable, what do you need?
Copy !req
201. Are the environmental controls
broken down?
Copy !req
202. - It's snowing on the Promenade.
- 'Snowing? '
Copy !req
203. We're looking at
five or six centimetres.
Copy !req
204. - We're going to Yellow Alert.
- 'What's going on? '
Copy !req
205. It seems we're letting
our imaginations run wild.
Copy !req
206. When I have an explanation,
I'll give you one. Sisko out.
Copy !req
207. Yellow Alert?
Against our own imaginations?
Copy !req
208. You have a better idea?
Copy !req
209. I think I've got something.
Copy !req
210. Look at the wave patterns.
Copy !req
211. The wave fronts are converging.
Copy !req
212. The particle density rises
closer to the centre
Copy !req
213. but then it just drops off completely.
Copy !req
214. I'm reading no particulates at the core.
Copy !req
215. - What does that mean?
- Whatever falls in there is just gone.
Copy !req
216. You were right.
It is some kind of subspace disruption.
Copy !req
217. I want a full analysis.
Chief, get a class-4 probe ready.
Copy !req
218. Aye, sir.
Copy !req
219. Is there anything I can do to help?
Copy !req
220. - 'Odo to Ops. '
- Go ahead.
Copy !req
221. The snow's disappeared
Copy !req
222. but now there's a Gunji jackdaw
running loose around here.
Copy !req
223. Just try to keep things under control.
We're working on it.
Copy !req
224. Understood.
Copy !req
225. Come along now. Come along.
Copy !req
226. There we go.
Copy !req
227. Ladies and gentlemen,
may I have your attention, please?
Copy !req
228. Ladies and gentlemen,
Copy !req
229. and all androgynous creatures,
your attention.
Copy !req
230. As you may have noticed,
we're experiencing some difficulties.
Copy !req
231. I have to ask you to refrain
from using your imaginations.
Copy !req
232. Just because
you don't have an imagination,
Copy !req
233. don't ruin it for the rest of us.
Copy !req
234. Let me guess.
Copy !req
235. Another clever Federation experiment
has gone awry
Copy !req
236. and you've turned the whole station
into one vast holosuite.
Copy !req
237. The phenomenon is being investigated
as we speak.
Copy !req
238. Well, tell them to take their time.
Copy !req
239. I haven't had a chance
to show the ladies
Copy !req
240. my collection
of Tartaras landscapes yet.
Copy !req
241. I'm surprised by your attitude, Quark.
Copy !req
242. You simply don't have
the same appreciation for...
Copy !req
243. art as I do.
Copy !req
244. Dabo!
Copy !req
245. I'm surprised because every one
of your customers is winning.
Copy !req
246. - What?
- They're taking you to the poorhouse.
Copy !req
247. Dabo! Another winner!
Copy !req
248. No, that's not possible.
Let me through!
Copy !req
249. Lose. Lose!
Copy !req
250. One cross...
Copy !req
251. Two cross.
Copy !req
252. No! No!
Copy !req
253. You're outnumbered, Quark.
Pardon me. Pardon me.
Copy !req
254. I was afraid of this.
Copy !req
255. The proximity of the wormhole
is amplifying the rupture.
Copy !req
256. The proton counts
are going through the roof.
Copy !req
257. Dax to O'Brien.
How's that probe, Chief?
Copy !req
258. 'I'll have the scanners programmed soon. '
Copy !req
259. Keep me informed. Dax out.
Copy !req
260. I have the wave intensity analysis.
Copy !req
261. Computer, scan all data files
Copy !req
262. - for comparable wave intensity patterns.
- 'Stand by. '
Copy !req
263. Jadzia...
Copy !req
264. I find this difficult to say
but I want you to know, I would...
Copy !req
265. Julian, there's really no need to apologise.
Copy !req
266. In a way I feel as if
we've invaded your privacy.
Copy !req
267. We all have fantasies and dreams
we keep to ourselves,
Copy !req
268. thoughts that should remain private.
Copy !req
269. - I'm glad you understand.
- Of course I do.
Copy !req
270. I was a young man... once.
Copy !req
271. So we can put all this behind us?
Copy !req
272. - Of course.
- Good.
Copy !req
273. The computer seems to be having trouble
finding a match.
Copy !req
274. She really is submissive, isn't she?
Copy !req
275. Is that how you want me to be, Julian?
So submissive?
Copy !req
276. I am not submissive. Am I?
Copy !req
277. Er... no. Well, I don't think so.
Copy !req
278. I'm just not the cold fish you are.
Copy !req
279. Cold fish?
Copy !req
280. Now I never said that.
Copy !req
281. If you'd get down off your high horse
Copy !req
282. you'd start to appreciate Julian.
Copy !req
283. She has a sense of humour,
as I imagine you do.
Copy !req
284. I could use one about now.
Copy !req
285. Come on, Lieutenant. Stop denying
all those yearnings you feel.
Copy !req
286. Yearnings?
Copy !req
287. If you don't
you'll never know what you missed.
Copy !req
288. - 'Pattern match found. '
- Just in the nick of time.
Copy !req
289. A similar subspace rupture was reported
Copy !req
290. in the Hanoli system in the 23rd century.
Copy !req
291. - I don't know where that is.
- There's no reason you should.
Copy !req
292. When the rupture expanded,
the system was destroyed.
Copy !req
293. Station Log, Stardate 46853.2.
Copy !req
294. We launched a probe
to study the anomaly.
Copy !req
295. More than half
the people aboard DS9
Copy !req
296. have reported manifestations
of their imagined thoughts.
Copy !req
297. 'All probe systems are reading normal. '
Copy !req
298. Calibrating sensors for subspace.
Copy !req
299. Three minutes to coordinates.
Copy !req
300. Wave patterns should
begin fluctuating any time now.
Copy !req
301. There.
Copy !req
302. The probe is penetrating the thoron field.
Copy !req
303. Two and a half minutes to coordinates.
Copy !req
304. For simpler times, eh?
Copy !req
305. - Go away.
- I only want to help.
Copy !req
306. You're in the way.
Copy !req
307. A farmer from Derry
once tried to chase me off...
Copy !req
308. until I saved his crops...
Copy !req
309. from locusts.
Copy !req
310. Two minutes to coordinates.
Copy !req
311. Thoron emissions are stable.
Copy !req
312. You know what I find intriguing
about you, my good host?
Copy !req
313. You're afraid.
Copy !req
314. Of me.
Copy !req
315. Look, figment, I'm not afraid of anybody,
least of all you.
Copy !req
316. 90 seconds to coordinates.
Copy !req
317. - Figment, am I?
- A figment of my imagination.
Copy !req
318. And yet you can't deny
Copy !req
319. how this imagination of yours
empowers me.
Copy !req
320. Empowers me in a way
that somehow terrifies you.
Copy !req
321. You should be getting primary data,
Commander.
Copy !req
322. 'They're coming in now, Chief. '
Copy !req
323. She is your firstborn, isn't she?
Copy !req
324. 30 seconds to coordinates.
Copy !req
325. Thoron emission patterns unstable.
Copy !req
326. - Probe hull temperature dropping rapidly.
- Ten seconds.
Copy !req
327. The probe's at the anomaly perimeter.
Copy !req
328. - That's strange.
- What is it?
Copy !req
329. Negative readings on all sensors.
Copy !req
330. We may be looking
at some sort of folded space.
Copy !req
331. What does the scanner
on the probe give us?
Copy !req
332. It's drawing in all the matter
from the surrounding space.
Copy !req
333. Benjamin, it's getting larger.
Copy !req
334. Feel like taking some groundballs?
Copy !req
335. You're on a space station.
Copy !req
336. The only ball field around
is a holographic simulation.
Copy !req
337. - It's not real, and neither are you.
- I don't get it.
Copy !req
338. I pinch myself and it hurts
and I am here.
Copy !req
339. You are, but in a minute, who knows?
Copy !req
340. - When we get this figured out, you'll...
- Disappear for good?
Copy !req
341. - I hope so.
- You do? Let's just say I don't.
Copy !req
342. What should I do?
Copy !req
343. You got room for a switch-hitting
third baseman with good power?
Copy !req
344. - Good power from the left side.
- Left side? Ben! Hey!
Copy !req
345. Hey, Ben!
What are you talking about?
Copy !req
346. I hit over 20 homers right-handed
every year for three years.
Copy !req
347. Never more than ten after that.
Copy !req
348. Old Crow moved me to second.
Copy !req
349. I wish I had time for this.
Copy !req
350. Well, that was baseball's epitaph,
wasn't it?
Copy !req
351. Nobody seemed
to have time for us anymore.
Copy !req
352. I could have played five more years
if they hadn't killed the game.
Copy !req
353. You were the best that ever played.
Copy !req
354. I know. I've played with them all.
Copy !req
355. - I've got work to do.
- Hey, Ben.
Copy !req
356. It really meant a lot to me -
how much you cared.
Copy !req
357. That day we won the World Series
Copy !req
358. there were only 300 people in the stands.
Copy !req
359. 301 in my version.
Copy !req
360. I heard you cheering.
Copy !req
361. Meant a lot to me.
Copy !req
362. I just thought you should know, you know,
Copy !req
363. in case I do finally disappear.
Copy !req
364. Ops.
Copy !req
365. We don't know any more
than when we started.
Copy !req
366. Why would mine create a woman,
then reject her?
Copy !req
367. Why would mine create a dwarf
that could terrify him?
Copy !req
368. We should abandon the whole thing.
Copy !req
369. Not yet.
I made a connection with mine.
Copy !req
370. I sense a feeling from him,
Copy !req
371. affection for a ballplayer
who died 200 years before he was born.
Copy !req
372. How long do you suggest
we devote to this?
Copy !req
373. As long as it takes.
Copy !req
374. It ain't over till it's over.
Copy !req
375. Station Log, supplemental.
Copy !req
376. The subspace anomaly
continues to expand.
Copy !req
377. We've been unable to find
a way to contain it.
Copy !req
378. As a precaution we have diverted
all incoming ships away from the station.
Copy !req
379. A Vulcan mission to the Hanoli rift
Copy !req
380. detonated a pulse wave torpedo
at the coordinates of the tear.
Copy !req
381. Five minutes later,
the rupture expanded radically.
Copy !req
382. They were wiped out,
along with the entire Hanoli system.
Copy !req
383. What happened to the rupture after that?
It's not still there?
Copy !req
384. It reached a critical mass point
and imploded
Copy !req
385. and then disappeared from normal space.
Copy !req
386. Did the Vulcans report
about hallucinations?
Copy !req
387. Anything similar
to what we're experiencing?
Copy !req
388. No, but they were only near
the anomaly for 12 hours.
Copy !req
389. And Vulcans don't have
the most active imaginations.
Copy !req
390. Were there any explanations offered
for the initial cause of the rupture?
Copy !req
391. Nothing confirmed. But we know
there were no wormholes
Copy !req
392. and little activity in the area
before it formed.
Copy !req
393. We've looked for some common ground,
Copy !req
394. a way to attack this thing.
Copy !req
395. Frankly, sir, as funny as it sounds,
Copy !req
396. pulse wave torpedoes
may still be the best approach.
Copy !req
397. If it didn't work very well
last time, why...
Copy !req
398. The Vulcans were using a primitive device.
Copy !req
399. We've developed far better ways
of controlling the flux density.
Copy !req
400. We should be able to contain
the reaction this time.
Copy !req
401. If we can't,
we destroy the whole Bajoran system.
Copy !req
402. Major, the rupture is already expanding.
Copy !req
403. We seal it
or it destroys the system anyway.
Copy !req
404. If it's small we have a better chance.
Copy !req
405. - How long will it take to make a torpedo?
- Until 22:00 hours.
Copy !req
406. If the rift expands before imploding
we have to be prepared.
Copy !req
407. Route auxiliary power to shields.
Copy !req
408. Major, coordinate evacuation of the pylons.
Odo can help you.
Copy !req
409. Dismissed.
Copy !req
410. - Kira to Odo.
- What is it?
Copy !req
411. Do a security sweep of the pylons.
We're going to evacuate.
Copy !req
412. I've got my hands full now.
Copy !req
413. Clear the way! Let them through.
Clear the way now!
Copy !req
414. Kira to Ops. Lower pylon one is gone.
Copy !req
415. I need emergency...
Copy !req
416. 'Sisko to Kira. Report.
Kira, can you read me? '
Copy !req
417. 'Major Kira, report. '
Copy !req
418. Disregard, Commander.
Copy !req
419. False alarm.
Copy !req
420. Kira out.
Copy !req
421. All personnel in lower pylon one,
Copy !req
422. report to outer ring airlock.
Copy !req
423. Prepare for evacuation.
Copy !req
424. Clear the way.
Clear the way.
Copy !req
425. Stay inside.
This isn't a show.
Copy !req
426. Odo!
Copy !req
427. Odo! Odo!
Copy !req
428. Odo! Thank goodness.
Copy !req
429. I want to report two missing persons.
Copy !req
430. I'm busy!
Don't scare them!
Copy !req
431. They're whispering sweet nothings
then they're gone.
Copy !req
432. Will you get off the street, before...
Copy !req
433. Girls! I've been
looking everywhere for you.
Copy !req
434. Don't ever do that to me again.
Copy !req
435. So, Odo, what have you conjured up
during all this?
Copy !req
436. - Me?
- I should have guessed. Nothing.
Copy !req
437. I've spent all my time chasing
incarnations of the Prophets,
Copy !req
438. long-dead lovers, Gunji jackdaws,
Copy !req
439. blizzards, trollops...
Copy !req
440. Ah. As I always said,
a man without any imagination.
Copy !req
441. Come along, my dears.
Copy !req
442. I'll show you
what a fertile imagination can do.
Copy !req
443. Imagination!
Copy !req
444. Computer, run a level-1
personnel sweep of all pylons.
Copy !req
445. 'Requested function will take
approximately three minutes. '
Copy !req
446. Let me out of here!
Copy !req
447. Let me out of here...!
Copy !req
448. Get the Nagus on subspace.
Copy !req
449. I want to talk to him, and I mean now!
Copy !req
450. I'm not spending another minute
in this cell.
Copy !req
451. - How did you get in there?
- How did I get in here?
Copy !req
452. You put me in here.
Copy !req
453. I guess I did, didn't I?
Copy !req
454. Yeah.
Copy !req
455. No imagination indeed. Ha!
Copy !req
456. Heads up, Jake.
Copy !req
457. - What are you doing here?
- I've got homework.
Copy !req
458. But you'd rather be at the ball park.
Copy !req
459. If I go to the holosuite,
dad will kill me.
Copy !req
460. - Kill you?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
461. - You really believe he'd kill you?
- I know he would.
Copy !req
462. If that's true,
why you still thinking about going?
Copy !req
463. I'm trying not to.
Copy !req
464. But you're wondering
if you can get away with it.
Copy !req
465. Well?
Copy !req
466. I couldn't understand the directions.
Copy !req
467. The computer accidentally erased
the instruction page.
Copy !req
468. You really expect me to believe that?
Copy !req
469. No, I guess not.
Copy !req
470. I've really got homework to do.
Copy !req
471. I need to see you, Benjamin.
Copy !req
472. What do you have?
Copy !req
473. In the last hour,
the rupture's expanded 27%.
Copy !req
474. The rate of expansion is increasing.
Copy !req
475. Can we gain time
by moving the station?
Copy !req
476. If the rift collapses
the implosion would overtake us.
Copy !req
477. How soon can you be ready?
Copy !req
478. I'm installing pulse wave devices
in the torpedoes now.
Copy !req
479. Six, seven minutes.
Copy !req
480. The rift's large enough
to pick up on visual scanners.
Copy !req
481. On screen.
Copy !req
482. Magnify.
Copy !req
483. All pylons are secured.
Everyone's been moved to the habitat ring.
Copy !req
484. - You're worried.
- You bet.
Copy !req
485. If this doesn't work nothing real
or imagined is going to survive.
Copy !req
486. Hold me.
Copy !req
487. Please.
Copy !req
488. - Torpedo's ready.
- Status of shields?
Copy !req
489. All available power's been transferred.
Copy !req
490. Reading shield strength
at 158% above normal.
Copy !req
491. Let's hope it's enough. Red Alert.
Copy !req
492. Fire!
Copy !req
493. All systems functioning properly.
Copy !req
494. Torpedo guidance is on nominal track.
Copy !req
495. 30 seconds to coordinates.
Copy !req
496. Impulse sustainer throttling down.
Copy !req
497. Arming pulse wave initiator.
Copy !req
498. Torpedo hull temperature dropping.
Copy !req
499. - Activating pulse waves.
- Compression level at 1,400 and rising.
Copy !req
500. - 20 seconds.
- Compression at 2,900.
Copy !req
501. - 3,000.
- Terminal targeting spread confirmed.
Copy !req
502. 3,500. Holding compression.
Copy !req
503. Ten seconds.
Copy !req
504. - Ready to detonate?
- Ready, sir.
Copy !req
505. Five seconds.
Copy !req
506. Now.
Copy !req
507. Wave intensity from the rift is dropping.
Copy !req
508. The thoron field boundary is shrinking.
Copy !req
509. Particle energy is rising.
Copy !req
510. - What?
- Wave emissions are fluctuating.
Copy !req
511. - We're not getting a controlled collapse.
- Chief?
Copy !req
512. We're picking up
an exothermic reaction pattern.
Copy !req
513. It may be neutralising the pulse waves.
Copy !req
514. Perimeter sensors are picking up
a subspace oscillation.
Copy !req
515. Proton counts have tripled.
Copy !req
516. Pulse wave activity
from our torpedoes is down to 14%.
Copy !req
517. The flux density readings
inside the rupture are off the scale.
Copy !req
518. Odo to Ops!
Copy !req
519. Ops! Ops!
Copy !req
520. Com circuits are down.
Copy !req
521. I'll try to reroute pathways.
Copy !req
522. - Life support is normal.
- Shields.
Copy !req
523. A generator's down.
Copy !req
524. - 'Odo to Ops. '
- Constable, check for casualties.
Copy !req
525. Move everybody out of section four.
We have shield damage.
Copy !req
526. - What are we getting from the rift?
- Sensors aren't operating.
Copy !req
527. Stand by, sir.
Copy !req
528. I can't feel my hands.
Copy !req
529. Lie still, lie still.
Copy !req
530. There's an emergency medical kit
in the cabinet there. Get it.
Copy !req
531. - I'm sorry...
- Shh.
Copy !req
532. - I never meant to bother you.
- No, no.
Copy !req
533. You didn't bother me.
Copy !req
534. I can't keep my eyes open.
Copy !req
535. Don't close your eyes.
You have a nasty concussion.
Copy !req
536. I can't help it.
Copy !req
537. Dax. Dax!
Copy !req
538. Sensors are back.
Copy !req
539. The rupture is continuing to widen -
Copy !req
540. 340 times larger than before.
Copy !req
541. - Is it showing signs of collapsing?
- Wave emissions are fluctuating.
Copy !req
542. I can't make sense of these readings.
Copy !req
543. Proton counts are lower than before.
Copy !req
544. And now they're rising again.
Copy !req
545. The pulse waves from our torpedoes
have been neutralised.
Copy !req
546. The rift will expand again any time now.
Copy !req
547. - How much time?
- Minutes.
Copy !req
548. Suggestions?
Copy !req
549. Run out of ideas, friend?
Copy !req
550. I have a suggestion.
Copy !req
551. - Maybe I can help.
- You?
Copy !req
552. You created me with powers
beyond those of mortal men
Copy !req
553. and I would be happy
to use them to assist you.
Copy !req
554. For a price.
Copy !req
555. I've always wanted a daughter.
Copy !req
556. Miles?
Copy !req
557. Sensors picking up
subspace oscillations again.
Copy !req
558. You can seal that rupture out there?
Copy !req
559. I can spin straw into gold, my friend.
Copy !req
560. This seems no more difficult.
Copy !req
561. Do it, damn it!
Copy !req
562. Will you meet my price?
Copy !req
563. This is crazy.
Copy !req
564. You're out of a storybook, a fairy tale.
Copy !req
565. Are you willing to give her up
to save so many others?
Copy !req
566. No. He doesn't have to.
Copy !req
567. Dax, when did our sensors
Copy !req
568. first pick up traces of the rupture?
Copy !req
569. You were there
when we first tried to work this out.
Copy !req
570. You said that your previous scans
Copy !req
571. hadn't picked up any anomalies.
Copy !req
572. I thought whatever was out there
was too small to be scanned.
Copy !req
573. You imagined
that we had a subspace rupture
Copy !req
574. and that's what it turned out to be.
Copy !req
575. That is what I imagined.
Copy !req
576. Once you'd learned about the rift
that destroyed the Hanoli system,
Copy !req
577. we all imagined
we might have another just like it.
Copy !req
578. - Mr O'Brien, drop the shields.
- Sir?
Copy !req
579. There is no rupture.
There is no threat to this station.
Copy !req
580. End Red Alert and drop the shields.
Copy !req
581. Aye, sir.
Copy !req
582. And believe it, Mr O'Brien.
Copy !req
583. It's important that you believe it.
Copy !req
584. Aye, sir.
Copy !req
585. Are your sensors picking up
magnetic shock waves?
Copy !req
586. - Yes, perimeter readings still show...
- No shock waves at all.
Copy !req
587. None at all.
Copy !req
588. - Lieutenant, proton counts.
- Normal.
Copy !req
589. It's gone.
Copy !req
590. You're going to be fine.
Copy !req
591. Of course I am.
Copy !req
592. I have the best doctor in the galaxy.
Copy !req
593. None of this makes any sense.
Copy !req
594. Why did they appear at all?
Copy !req
595. It might be related to
the elevated thoron emissions.
Copy !req
596. The readings haven't returned to normal.
Copy !req
597. Continue your analysis, Dax,
Copy !req
598. but this time, no speculations,
just facts.
Copy !req
599. Yes, Benjamin.
Copy !req
600. Major, keep us on Yellow Alert
for 26 hours,
Copy !req
601. till we see that everything
is back to normal.
Copy !req
602. Chief, take your family home.
That's an order.
Copy !req
603. Aye, sir.
Copy !req
604. This imagination of yours -
Copy !req
605. it's a tough concept
for us to get a handle on.
Copy !req
606. You're not a figment of my imagination?
Copy !req
607. We're on an extended mission
exploring the galaxy.
Copy !req
608. We followed one of your ships
through that hole in space.
Copy !req
609. We've been trying to figure out
the rules of your game.
Copy !req
610. Why didn't you just talk to us like this?
Copy !req
611. You can never tell
how someone will treat the visiting team.
Copy !req
612. I understand.
Copy !req
613. That's what this has been all about -
learning to understand.
Copy !req
614. Was it really necessary
to put the whole station in jeopardy?
Copy !req
615. But we didn't, Ben.
Copy !req
616. It was you.
Copy !req
617. Your imaginations created everything.
Copy !req
618. We were just watching
to see where it took you.
Copy !req
619. This imagination of yours.
Copy !req
620. We have never seen anything like it.
Copy !req
621. It's very real to all of you
but yet it's not.
Copy !req
622. At first, it seemed to us to be a curse,
an irritation.
Copy !req
623. That Odo fellow called it a waste of time.
Copy !req
624. I disagree with him.
Copy !req
625. I knew you would.
I learned that about you.
Copy !req
626. You can have an affection
for someone you never met.
Copy !req
627. I wonder if you appreciate how unique
Copy !req
628. that imagination of yours really is.
Copy !req
629. - Not always.
- We got to go.
Copy !req
630. But you haven't told us anything
about your species.
Copy !req
631. I'd like to.
Copy !req
632. Maybe next year.
Copy !req
