1. Captain's log, stardate 41209.2.Copy !req
2. We are going to rendezvous with
a science vessel, SS Tsiolkovsky,Copy !req
3. which has been monitoring the
collapse of a red supergiant starCopy !req
4. into a white dwarf.Copy !req
5. What has brought us here
is a series of strange messagesCopy !req
6. indicating something has gone wrong
aboard the research vessel.Copy !req
7. SS Tsiolkovsky, repeat your message.Copy !req
8. Hello, Enterprise. Welcome.Copy !req
9. I hope you have
a lot of pretty boys there,Copy !req
10. because I'm willing and waiting.Copy !req
11. In fact, we're going to have
a real blow-out here.Copy !req
12. Do it, yeah! Go ahead! Do it!Copy !req
13. Captain, what we've just heard is...
impossible.Copy !req
14. Report.Copy !req
15. I believe that last sound was
an emergency hatch being blown.Copy !req
16. Are you certain?
Yes, of course you are.Copy !req
17. Data, Geordi, Tasha.Copy !req
18. Searcher scans now reveal
no life signs aboard, Captain.Copy !req
19. Cover the ship as planned. Move out.Copy !req
20. Indications of what humans
would call... a wild party?Copy !req
21. Yeah.Copy !req
22. Their bridge.Copy !req
23. If this works,
be sure to record everything.Copy !req
24. You were right.
Somebody blew out the hatch.Copy !req
25. They were all sucked out into space.Copy !req
26. Correction, sir, that's blown out.Copy !req
27. - Thank you, Data.
- A common mistake, sir.Copy !req
28. Cmdr Riker, Lt Yar.
Location, Engineering.Copy !req
29. Ten people here, sir, all frozen.
No vital signs.Copy !req
30. Frozen? How?Copy !req
31. It looks like someone was playing
with the environmental controls.Copy !req
32. Just let all the heat
bleed away into space.Copy !req
33. Sir, Lt La Forge
in the crew quarters.Copy !req
34. Something in here.Copy !req
35. Riker to Captain.
I have a report, sir.Copy !req
36. Picard here.Copy !req
37. They're all dead.Copy !req
38. Some of them were blown out
of the emergency hatches.Copy !req
39. But there were 80 people
on that ship.Copy !req
40. Yes, sir.Copy !req
41. As I said... all dead.Copy !req
42. Space, the final frontier.Copy !req
43. These are the voyages
of the Starship Enterprise.Copy !req
44. Its continuing mission,
to explore strange new worlds...Copy !req
45. to seek out new life
and new civilizations...Copy !req
46. to boldly go
where no one has gone before.Copy !req
47. Captain's log, supplemental.
We are downloading informationCopy !req
48. gathered on
the collapsing star nearby.Copy !req
49. I'm concerned
at being in such close orbit.Copy !req
50. But the Tsiolkovsky's research
records should predictCopy !req
51. the time
of the star's final collapse.Copy !req
52. I can't find anything unusual
in the readings they sent over.Copy !req
53. Give me a theory, Doctor. Anything.Copy !req
54. Madness? Mass hysteria? Delusion?Copy !req
55. Any or all, Captain.Copy !req
56. Alright,
let's bring the away team back.Copy !req
57. Set the transporter
to maximum decontamination,Copy !req
58. and then full examination
and observation when they're here.Copy !req
59. If you were any more perfect,
I'd put you in a medical textbook.Copy !req
60. I'm already listed
in several bio-mechanical texts.Copy !req
61. Yes, of course.Copy !req
62. You're next, Lieutenant.Copy !req
63. Normal, all across.Copy !req
64. Except,
why are you perspiring, Lieutenant?Copy !req
65. Because you have it too hot
in here! What else would it be?Copy !req
66. It doesn't sound like you, Geordi.Copy !req
67. Well, maybe it's not.
Maybe she threw her voice.Copy !req
68. Hey, it was a joke.Copy !req
69. Of course, but I would like to run
a few more tests on you, Lieutenant.Copy !req
70. - Sickbay to bridge.
- Picard here. Go ahead, Doctor.Copy !req
71. I'm confining Lt La Forge
to sickbay until further notice.Copy !req
72. - Do we have a problem, Doctor?
- I don't know yet.Copy !req
73. I need help in locating
some library computer information.Copy !req
74. Specifics, sir?Copy !req
75. I have a vague memory
of reading somewhereCopy !req
76. about someone taking a shower
in their clothing.Copy !req
77. Ah, the body Geordi discovered.Copy !req
78. - I believe it's happened before.
- To someone, somewhere.Copy !req
79. This should be easy for someone
written up in bio-mechanical texts.Copy !req
80. About that, sir, did the Doctor
believe I was boasting?Copy !req
81. Probably.Copy !req
82. - This may take some time.
- Several hours.Copy !req
83. What I said was a statement of fact.
Perhaps she will look it up.Copy !req
84. You can depend on it.Copy !req
85. Geordi!Copy !req
86. Security, Lt La Forge left sickbay
while I was in my office.Copy !req
87. He doesn't have his communicator.
We must find him.Copy !req
88. Security team, pick up Lt La Forge.
He just left sickbay.Copy !req
89. Captain, anything further?Copy !req
90. Affirmative. Make it
a ship-wide search, Lieutenant.Copy !req
91. It's a model of the ship's
tractor beam, with my ideas added.Copy !req
92. That's your science project?
Wes, you're really something.Copy !req
93. Since the Captain
won't let me on the bridge,Copy !req
94. I use this to imagine I'm there.Copy !req
95. Take the helm, Mr. Crusher.Copy !req
96. Set a course for 37, mark 180.
Warp six.Copy !req
97. - It's the Captain's voice.
- It's words he used on the intercom.Copy !req
98. I can pretend he's ordering me
to take the Enterprise anywhere.Copy !req
99. Listen to this.Copy !req
100. Chief Engineer, report to the bridge.Copy !req
101. Cmdr Riker, report to the bridge.Copy !req
102. Dr Crusher, report to the bridge.Copy !req
103. What d'you think?Copy !req
104. I think the Captain's lucky
you're on his side.Copy !req
105. But he still won't
let me on the bridge.Copy !req
106. There's nothing there
I don't understand.Copy !req
107. I wish... I understood myself
that well.Copy !req
108. Are you OK?Copy !req
109. No, suddenly I...
I seem to be burning up inside.Copy !req
110. It's so hot in here.Copy !req
111. Geordi?Copy !req
112. Geordi.Copy !req
113. It Yar in the observation lounge.
Send a team now.Copy !req
114. - Medical's worried about you.
- Help me.Copy !req
115. Help me to not give in to
the wild things in my mind.Copy !req
116. My job is security...Copy !req
117. Tasha, please.Copy !req
118. Alright.Copy !req
119. Helping is more important.
Geordi, how can I help you?Copy !req
120. Help me to see. Like you do.Copy !req
121. But you already
see better than I can.Copy !req
122. I see more.Copy !req
123. But more isn't better.Copy !req
124. Geordi, please!Copy !req
125. I wanna see in shallow, dim,
beautiful, human ways.Copy !req
126. We'll talk about it, Geordi.Copy !req
127. Now, I'm gonna take you to sickbay.Copy !req
128. - Alright?
- Yeah.Copy !req
129. OK.Copy !req
130. Good.Copy !req
131. We got him to sickbay
so Dr Crusher could examine him.Copy !req
132. He wasn't violent?Copy !req
133. No, sir. He was very upset.Copy !req
134. He kept talking about
wanting normal vision.Copy !req
135. Thank you, Lieutenant.Copy !req
136. Our read-outs still show
nothing wrong with him.Copy !req
137. He looks to have a temperature,
but our instruments say not.Copy !req
138. Doctor, every person
on that ship died.Copy !req
139. Is there any chance that
whatever did it is loose on my ship?Copy !req
140. If you mean a disease,
I'd say no chance.Copy !req
141. We used full decontamination.
We examined every team member.Copy !req
142. The entire crew somehow managed
to kill themselves, Doctor.Copy !req
143. If not a disease,
what else made them do it?Copy !req
144. Alternatives are in the areas of
insanity and severe emotional upset.Copy !req
145. Troi, do you feel anything unusual
in the Lieutenant?Copy !req
146. Security told me
that he was longing for normal sight.Copy !req
147. That's a sudden yearning.Copy !req
148. His records show
no previous mention of that.Copy !req
149. The fact that it happened now
could be important.Copy !req
150. But all I sense from him
is confusion.Copy !req
151. If I didn't know better,
I'd say he was intoxicated.Copy !req
152. Our tests would've shown that,Copy !req
153. or any signs of drugs,
hallucinogens or contaminants.Copy !req
154. Can you provide
more information, sir?Copy !req
155. Seeking an instance of someone
showering in clothing is...Copy !req
156. It's like looking
for a needle in a haystack.Copy !req
157. Why should anyone expend time
in such a search?Copy !req
158. I should've said
proverbial needle in a haystack.Copy !req
159. Ah! A human proverb.
As in folklore.Copy !req
160. - Or an historical allusion.
- Historical. That's it.Copy !req
161. I was reading about all the past
starships named Enterprise.Copy !req
162. Enterprise history.
Aberrant behavior.Copy !req
163. Medical cross-reference.Copy !req
164. Captain, I think we have the answer
to what happened.Copy !req
165. "The Starship Enterprise.
Capt James T. Kirk commanding."Copy !req
166. Similar conditions.Copy !req
167. They were monitoring a planet
that was breaking up.Copy !req
168. Not a collapsing star,
as in this case.Copy !req
169. But there were the same
huge shifts in gravity.Copy !req
170. Which resulted in complex strings
of water moleculesCopy !req
171. which acquired carbon
from the body and acted...Copy !req
172. acted on the brain like alcohol.Copy !req
173. Data, download this information
to Medical.Copy !req
174. Downloading.Copy !req
175. Fascinating.
The entire crew going out of control.Copy !req
176. Like intoxication, but worse.
Judgment almost completely impaired.Copy !req
177. Until they found this formula,
barely in time.Copy !req
178. Picard to Dr Crusher. Come in.Copy !req
179. - This is Crusher. Go ahead.
- You can relax.Copy !req
180. The answer is feeding
into your medical banks right now.Copy !req
181. Including a cure.Copy !req
182. Are you certain, Captain?Copy !req
183. Absolutely.Copy !req
184. Tasha?Copy !req
185. What are you doing?Copy !req
186. I need your advice.
That's why I came to your quarters.Copy !req
187. Of course, anything...Copy !req
188. On clothes. You always wear
such beautiful clothes off duty.Copy !req
189. And your hair always looks so nice.Copy !req
190. I wanna change my image.
What do you think about this?Copy !req
191. Or... or this one?Copy !req
192. It's not for you.Copy !req
193. Tasha, I feel you're very uncertain.Copy !req
194. That you're fighting something.
What is it?Copy !req
195. Never mind.Copy !req
196. I'll find what I need myself.Copy !req
197. Ship's stores will have it.Copy !req
198. Tasha? Wait!Copy !req
199. - Troi to Capt Picard.
- Picard, here.Copy !req
200. Sir, I think Tasha's
been infected, too.Copy !req
201. - She just left my quarters.
- It's not actually an infection.Copy !req
202. Yes, sir.
It's more like an intoxication.Copy !req
203. But, whatever it is... she's got it.Copy !req
204. Thank you, Counselor.Copy !req
205. Number One,Copy !req
206. it seems our Security Chief
has the equivalent of a snootful.Copy !req
207. Inquiry, sir. Snootful?Copy !req
208. Forget it.Copy !req
209. Hey, Mom, look what I can do.Copy !req
210. I've widened and strengthened
the beam, like I said last night.Copy !req
211. Do me a favor.
Something's happening on this ship.Copy !req
212. Just to be safe, stay in
our quarters until it's solved.Copy !req
213. Sure, Mom. Your wish is my command.Copy !req
214. Now, Wes!Copy !req
215. OK. But you could be stunting my
emotional growth, you realize that?Copy !req
216. Why is it so hot in here?Copy !req
217. Picard to Crusher.Copy !req
218. Crusher here.Copy !req
219. Have you made a test injection yet?Copy !req
220. We have indications
that this condition is spreading.Copy !req
221. No test yet, Captain. But very soon.Copy !req
222. In 41 minutes, the information from
the Tsiolkovsky will be downloaded.Copy !req
223. Why so slow?Copy !req
224. Slow, sir? The Tsiolkovsky has been
eight months in accumulating it.Copy !req
225. How much danger from that star?
Worst case.Copy !req
226. Like a full collapse, sir?Copy !req
227. Any material it threw this way,Copy !req
228. we could outrun
on half impulse power.Copy !req
229. Picard to Engineering.
Chief Engineer, report to the bridge.Copy !req
230. Assistant Chief Engineer Shimoda,
report to Medical.Copy !req
231. Hi, Jim. Was that the Captain
ordering you to Medical?Copy !req
232. Which would leave no one on duty.
The chief was summoned to the bridge.Copy !req
233. What about me?Copy !req
234. I could call the chief on the bridge
if anything happened.Copy !req
235. - Reporting as ordered, sir.
- What?Copy !req
236. You ordered me
to report to the bridge, sir.Copy !req
237. I did no such thing.Copy !req
238. I want you in the engine room
in case we need to move out.Copy !req
239. Attention, all divisions.
Effective immediately,Copy !req
240. I have handed over control
to Acting Captain Wesley Crusher.Copy !req
241. Acting Captain?Copy !req
242. Thank you, Capt Picard.Copy !req
243. And so dawns
a brave new day for the Enterprise.Copy !req
244. Captain's log, stardate 41209.3.Copy !req
245. The contaminant that led to
the deaths of the Tsiolkovsky crewCopy !req
246. is now aboard the Enterprise.Copy !req
247. Our Engineering sectionCopy !req
248. has been commandeered
by young Wesley Crusher.Copy !req
249. And henceforth, a dessert course
shall precede and follow every meal,Copy !req
250. including breakfast.Copy !req
251. Hurray for the Acting Captain.Copy !req
252. Never got as far as sickbay, Wes.
I feel too good for that.Copy !req
253. Incredible. How did you do that?Copy !req
254. Hooked my model tractor beam
into the ship's power.Copy !req
255. Now, it's a repulser beam, too.
Want in?Copy !req
256. Swear to be faithful to you,
Captain.Copy !req
257. Number One, MacDougal,
get that boy out of Engineering.Copy !req
258. Sir, I'm getting
very strange reports from all decks.Copy !req
259. Such as?Copy !req
260. Such as the Training Division
giving a lecture on metaphysics.Copy !req
261. - Metaphysics?
- Confirmed, sir.Copy !req
262. A rather peculiar limerick was being
delivered in the shuttle-craft bay.Copy !req
263. I'm not sure I understand it.Copy !req
264. "There was a young lady from Venus
Whose body was shaped like a..."Copy !req
265. Captain to Security, come in!Copy !req
266. - Did I say something wrong?
- I don't understand their humor.Copy !req
267. - Yeah, Captain?
- Get me Lt Yar!Copy !req
268. - Keep your britches on!
- Capt Picard.Copy !req
269. Lieutenant, where are you?Copy !req
270. I'm in my quarters.
I'm pretty busy right at the moment,Copy !req
271. Jean-Luc.Copy !req
272. Alright, Lieutenant,
you just stay right there.Copy !req
273. Data, take Lt Yar down to sickbay.Copy !req
274. - Aye, sir.
- Captain to Security.Copy !req
275. I want all your senior supervisors
to report to the bridge immediately.Copy !req
276. It Yar?Copy !req
277. Here, Data.Copy !req
278. You wanted me?Copy !req
279. Capt Picard ordered me to escort
you to sickbay, Lieutenant.Copy !req
280. Did he say when?Copy !req
281. I'm sure he meant now.
So, you should get into uniform.Copy !req
282. But I got out of my uniform
for you, Data.Copy !req
283. Do you know how old I was
when I was abandoned?Copy !req
284. Chronological age?Copy !req
285. No.
I'm afraid I am not familiar with...Copy !req
286. Five.Copy !req
287. Five years old. But I survived.Copy !req
288. I learned how to stay alive.Copy !req
289. How to avoid the rape gangs.Copy !req
290. I was 15 before I escaped.Copy !req
291. I am sorry. I did not know.Copy !req
292. And what I want now is gentleness.Copy !req
293. And joy.Copy !req
294. And love.Copy !req
295. From you, Data.
You are fully functional?Copy !req
296. - Of course, but...
- How fully?Copy !req
297. In every way, of course.Copy !req
298. I am programmed
in multiple techniques.Copy !req
299. A broad variety of pleasuring.Copy !req
300. Oh, you jewel!
That's exactly what I hoped.Copy !req
301. What have you learned?Copy !req
302. The engines
are cut off from the bridge.Copy !req
303. An engineer pulled out the isolinear
optical chips from command.Copy !req
304. All the engines are off line.Copy !req
305. Wesley has hooked up
some kind of tractor beamCopy !req
306. to the ship's power,
aimed at the door.Copy !req
307. We can't get past
to get to the computer.Copy !req
308. Can you short out the power?Copy !req
309. Yes, I can. But it's gonna take time.Copy !req
310. Do it.Copy !req
311. Bill?Copy !req
312. Deanna, what?Copy !req
313. So many minds on this ship, all free.Copy !req
314. Released.Copy !req
315. Deanna.Copy !req
316. I can feel them all.Copy !req
317. What they want, what they feel.Copy !req
318. It's a side of humans
I never felt before.Copy !req
319. Come on.
I'm getting you to sickbay.Copy !req
320. Wouldn't you rather be alone
with me? With me in your mind?Copy !req
321. The medical records we found
say this works almost instantly.Copy !req
322. It's not fair, Doc.Copy !req
323. I've never seen a rainbow,
sunset, sunrise.Copy !req
324. This is gonna help me?Copy !req
325. Help me see like you?Copy !req
326. Dr Crusher?Copy !req
327. - Deanna needs your help.
- The formula didn't work.Copy !req
328. It may induce the same symptoms,
but somehow, it's different.Copy !req
329. Maybe it's mutated.
I have to isolate it to analyze it.Copy !req
330. - We don't have time.
- You brought Deanna in.Copy !req
331. Then you touched her!
Oh, God! And you touched me.Copy !req
332. I've got to quarantine you.Copy !req
333. If I don't get the computer on line,
none of this will matter.Copy !req
334. We'll all be dead.Copy !req
335. Captain's log, supplemental.Copy !req
336. It is no longer an inconvenient,
childish prank.Copy !req
337. Young Wesley Crusher,Copy !req
338. admittedly a victim
of the Tsiolkovsky infection,Copy !req
339. is now in control of my starship.Copy !req
340. Wesley, this is Capt Picard.
Do you see me?Copy !req
341. Yes, sir.Copy !req
342. You will return control
of this vessel to the bridgeCopy !req
343. where it belongs at once.Copy !req
344. I'm sorry, sir. Tell me
what you want done and I'll do it!Copy !req
345. Ship captains
control their own vessels, young man.Copy !req
346. But, sir, you don't do it yourself.Copy !req
347. You give the orders
but somebody else does it.Copy !req
348. What's wrong
with giving me the orders?Copy !req
349. Captain, getting unusual readings
now from the dwarf star.Copy !req
350. Stand by on that for a moment.Copy !req
351. Wesley.Copy !req
352. Wes.Copy !req
353. Are you aware
that you are behaving strangely,Copy !req
354. that a kind of infection was
brought over from the Tsiolkovsky,Copy !req
355. which acts like... intoxication?Copy !req
356. Are you saying that's why
I feel so hot? So strange?Copy !req
357. That's...Copy !req
358. That's a very adult
bit of reasoning, Wesley.Copy !req
359. So, you mean I'm drunk!Copy !req
360. I feel strange, but also good.Copy !req
361. Because... you have lost the capacity
for self-judgment.Copy !req
362. Now, alcohol does this, Wesley.Copy !req
363. The contaminant from the Tsiolkovsky
does it even more so.Copy !req
364. What would you do
if you got your ship back?Copy !req
365. Oh, it's very important I do, Wesley.Copy !req
366. I must lock a tractor beam on to
the Tsiolkovsky and tow it...Copy !req
367. Tractor beams are my specialty.
I'll get that done. Wesley out.Copy !req
368. Wesley!Copy !req
369. Where are you headed?Copy !req
370. Sir, the star.
It's beginning to collapse.Copy !req
371. What the hell is happening
in Engineering?Copy !req
372. Lock on.Copy !req
373. Lock on Tsiolkovsky.Copy !req
374. - Where's that sonic driver?
- It's over there.Copy !req
375. OK, let's see if this cuts out
his tractor beam power.Copy !req
376. Oh, come on.Copy !req
377. No!Copy !req
378. I must find the answer.Copy !req
379. I've got to find the answer.Copy !req
380. Captain, tractor beam. We just
locked on to the Tsiolkovsky.Copy !req
381. Captain to...Copy !req
382. Wesley! Wesley Crusher, come in.Copy !req
383. Good, Data.Copy !req
384. - At least you're functioning.
- Fully, Captain.Copy !req
385. Data, intoxication is a human
condition. Your brain is different.Copy !req
386. It's not the same as...Copy !req
387. We're more alike than unlike,
my dear Captain.Copy !req
388. I have pores. Humans have pores.Copy !req
389. I have... fingerprints.Copy !req
390. Humans have fingerprints.Copy !req
391. My chemical nutrients
are like your blood.Copy !req
392. If you prick me,Copy !req
393. do I not... leak?Copy !req
394. Doctor...Copy !req
395. Captain, can I see you
in your room? It's private.Copy !req
396. - No, actually, it's urgent.
- But...Copy !req
397. Damn it!Copy !req
398. - Now, Doctor...
- I have become infected myself.Copy !req
399. Do you know what the infection is?Copy !req
400. Come on, quickly.Copy !req
401. Sorry. It is definitely
like alcohol intoxication.Copy !req
402. The same lack of good judgment.Copy !req
403. For example, right now,
I find you extremely...Copy !req
404. Extremely...Copy !req
405. We haven't time
for that sort of thing.Copy !req
406. - What sort of thing?
- God, would I love to show you!Copy !req
407. Doctor, there must be a cure.
Some formula...Copy !req
408. similar to the old one.Copy !req
409. Damn it, Captain!Copy !req
410. My dear Captain.Copy !req
411. You owe me something.
You do realize that, don't you?Copy !req
412. I'm a woman. I haven't had
the comfort of a husband, a man.Copy !req
413. Not now, Doctor. Please!Copy !req
414. Bridge to Riker. Urgent.Copy !req
415. - Riker here.
- Sir.Copy !req
416. Regret to inform youCopy !req
417. that the Captain
appears to be infected, and Data.Copy !req
418. Thank you, Lieutenant, I'm on my
way. You'll have to handle this.Copy !req
419. Are you saying
you're gonna handle that?Copy !req
420. What we're seeing is a huge chunk
of the star surface blown away,Copy !req
421. heading for us.Copy !req
422. Take us...Copy !req
423. Are you alright, sir?Copy !req
424. Worf, you do know what to do.Copy !req
425. Take us, er...Copy !req
426. - Take us out of here.
- Right.Copy !req
427. - Controls are still off line, sir.
- Override.Copy !req
428. Same result, sir.Copy !req
429. Wes, come in, please.Copy !req
430. Wesley Crusher, this is Riker.Copy !req
431. This is urgent. Come in, please.Copy !req
432. Engineering, urgent.
We must have ship's power.Copy !req
433. These are control chips.Copy !req
434. - Bridge from Engineering.
- The star is collapsing.Copy !req
435. - We're in the path...
- I can't help you.Copy !req
436. Someone yanked out the control chips.Copy !req
437. It was an adult who did it.Copy !req
438. I estimate 14 minutes
until that mass gets here.Copy !req
439. No, sir, I cannot replace the chips
in 14 minutes. Two hours, maybe.Copy !req
440. Data could assemble them faster.Copy !req
441. What's that?
What's that, Wesley?Copy !req
442. They're simple isolinear chips
to Data.Copy !req
443. He can shuffle them like cards.Copy !req
444. Come on, Data, hurry.Copy !req
445. Ship's log, First Officer Riker.
Enterprise will be destroyedCopy !req
446. unless it is moved out of the path
of the star material.Copy !req
447. Our only hope is for Lt Cmdr Data,
in the time we have left,Copy !req
448. to reconnect engine power
to the bridge.Copy !req
449. - Nice to see you, Wesley.
- Hi, Mr. Data.Copy !req
450. Get the damn control chips back in
place, in the correct order. Now!Copy !req
451. It's like a game.
How fast can you do it?Copy !req
452. A game.Copy !req
453. I think I can switch this
to main viewer, sir.Copy !req
454. Data, we've eight or nine minutes.
Can you finish by then?Copy !req
455. No, this will take slightly
more time than we have, sir.Copy !req
456. Damn it, no.
I can't afford to get this.Copy !req
457. Beverly.Copy !req
458. Yes, Jean-Luc?Copy !req
459. You will address me as Captain.Copy !req
460. Captain?Copy !req
461. Well then, my dear Captain,Copy !req
462. you will address me
as Chief Medical Officer, or Doctor.Copy !req
463. I will? That's true.Copy !req
464. I started out by calling you Beverly.
Of course, naturally, you...Copy !req
465. I'm still not thinking straight.Copy !req
466. Likewise.
Where the hell was I headed?Copy !req
467. If that's something
you were going to test...Copy !req
468. Yes, on Geordi. Come here.Copy !req
469. See how I reversed the fields
on this?Copy !req
470. I made it into a repulser beam.Copy !req
471. If we just had one minute more, sir.Copy !req
472. If this were a hundred times
more powerful than it is...Copy !req
473. Why not try it with the real thing?Copy !req
474. Why not reverse fields?
We need an extra minute.Copy !req
475. It would take weeks
of laying out new circuits.Copy !req
476. Why not just see it in your head?Copy !req
477. Come off the main lead,
split off at the force activator.Copy !req
478. Then...Copy !req
479. If I could just think straight
about this.Copy !req
480. I made this a broader-based remedy.
I hope.Copy !req
481. It's still very close to the formula
from the old Enterprise records.Copy !req
482. Decades ago. Light years away.Copy !req
483. But almost exactly
the same conditions as here.Copy !req
484. Wow! What was in that, Doctor?Copy !req
485. My head is beginning to clear.Copy !req
486. Come here.Copy !req
487. Take this to Engineering.Copy !req
488. I'll make up hypos for the others.Copy !req
489. OK, Bev.Copy !req
490. We're not gonna make it, Captain.Copy !req
491. If we only had a minute or so more.Copy !req
492. Then reverse in power leads,
back through the force activator.Copy !req
493. Repulser beam hard against
Tsiolkovsky.Copy !req
494. Don't you see?
It's giving us a push-off.Copy !req
495. The extra time we need.Copy !req
496. We're pushing away.Copy !req
497. Bridge, engage engines.Copy !req
498. Captain, something seemed
to move us aside at the last minute.Copy !req
499. Do we owe our thanks
to Cmdr Data, sir?Copy !req
500. Yes, and Wesley may have
given us a few seconds, too.Copy !req
501. Did he say Wesley? The boy?Copy !req
502. He said Wesley.Copy !req
503. It's only fair to mention Wesley
in the log entry, sir.Copy !req
504. Fair's fair.Copy !req
505. Let's credit
his science teacher, too.Copy !req
506. - Congratulations, sir.
- To many people.Copy !req
507. Data, I'm only going to tell you
this just once.Copy !req
508. It never happened.Copy !req
509. I put it to you all,Copy !req
510. I think we shall end up
with a fine crew...Copy !req
511. if we avoid temptation.Copy !req
512. So, Number One,
let's go to our next job.Copy !req
513. Aye, sir.Copy !req
514. Prepare for warp three.Copy !req
515. Headed 294, mark 37.Copy !req
516. Warp three, heading 294,
mark 37, sir.Copy !req
517. Engage.Copy !req
