1. Captain's log, stardate 43489.2.
Copy !req
2. We have arrived at Angosia III,
a planet that has expressed
Copy !req
3. a strong desire
for membership in the Federation.
Copy !req
4. Prime Minister Nayrok
has taken Commander Riker and me
Copy !req
5. on a tour of the capital city.
Copy !req
6. I'm greatly impressed with everything
I've seen so far, prime minister.
Copy !req
7. Then I hope it will reflect favorably
in your report, captain.
Copy !req
8. It's a tribute to your people
that you were able to recover
Copy !req
9. - so rapidly from the Tarsian War.
It is indeed.
Copy !req
10. We are not warriors.
Copy !req
11. We believe reason
should settle disputes.
Copy !req
12. But not every culture agrees
with our position.
Copy !req
13. An unfortunate reality.
Copy !req
14. The development of the mind,
the cultivation of the intellect,
Copy !req
15. these are the pursuits
to which the Angosians
Copy !req
16. have dedicated
themselves for centuries.
Copy !req
17. Prime minister.
Copy !req
18. I'm sorry to interrupt,
but we have a problem.
Copy !req
19. May I see you for a moment?
Copy !req
20. Excuse me, gentlemen.
Copy !req
21. Yes, what is it?
Copy !req
22. Well, I think they'll make a fine addition
to the Federation, Number One.
Copy !req
23. I'm not sure
I'd like to live in this place.
Copy !req
24. A little stuffy for my taste.
Copy !req
25. A prisoner has escaped
from the penal colony on Lunar V.
Copy !req
26. Two guards are dead.
Copy !req
27. The prisoner has taken
a transport vessel.
Copy !req
28. Do you have means of pursuit?
Copy !req
29. The tracking station was sabotaged.
The entire base is in chaos.
Copy !req
30. We've ordered ships
from the surface to follow him,
Copy !req
31. but to be honest, our civilian pilots
are not trained for this.
Copy !req
32. With your permission?
Copy !req
33. Mr. Data, a stolen transport vessel
has departed from Lunar V.
Copy !req
34. Have you picked it up on the sensors?
Copy !req
35. - Yes, commander.
Good.
Copy !req
36. Detain the vessel
and quarantine the pilot. Is he armed?
Copy !req
37. Yes, and extremely dangerous,
commander.
Copy !req
38. Lunar V is
a maximum-security facility.
Copy !req
39. - Did you read that?
Yes, sir.
Copy !req
40. We will use extreme caution.
Copy !req
41. Keep us informed. Riker out.
Copy !req
42. On-screen, sir.
Copy !req
43. Specifications on the vessel,
Mr. Worf.
Copy !req
44. No warp drive.
Copy !req
45. - Minimal weaponry.
- Heading, Mr. Crusher.
Copy !req
46. Three-one-nine, mark 250, sir.
Copy !req
47. Vessel speed increasing
to 0.02 impulse.
Copy !req
48. He's seen us, Data.
Copy !req
49. That's the ship's drive section.
Copy !req
50. What happened
to the rest of his ship?
Copy !req
51. Scan the drive section
for life-form readings.
Copy !req
52. None.
Copy !req
53. Bring us around to the backside
of the asteroid, Mr. Crusher.
Copy !req
54. Sensors indicate wreckage
on the asteroid's surface, Data.
Copy !req
55. No life signs.
Copy !req
56. - Apparently, he did not survive.
- Data, the drive section.
Copy !req
57. Where'd it go?
Copy !req
58. There's no sign of it
on its previous heading.
Copy !req
59. Someone must be at the helm.
Copy !req
60. Status report, Mr. Data.
Copy !req
61. I am afraid the prisoner
has eluded us, sir.
Copy !req
62. Eluded the Enterprise?
Copy !req
63. Space, the final frontier.
Copy !req
64. These are the voyages
of the starship Enterprise.
Copy !req
65. Its continuing mission:
to explore strange, new worlds,
Copy !req
66. to seek out new life
and new civilizations,
Copy !req
67. to boldly go where no one
has gone before.
Copy !req
68. We followed procedures precisely,
captain.
Copy !req
69. Scanners indicated no life-forms
present in the drive section.
Copy !req
70. I cannot explain how he escaped.
Copy !req
71. Incoming message
from the Angosian prime minister.
Copy !req
72. On-screen.
Copy !req
73. Captain,
we've identified the prisoner.
Copy !req
74. His name is Roga Danar.
Copy !req
75. His criminal record
is too long to go into,
Copy !req
76. but I must caution you that he is given
to bouts of uncontrollable violence.
Copy !req
77. I appreciate your warning,
prime minister.
Copy !req
78. We will keep you informed
of our progress.
Copy !req
79. Geordi, how far and how fast
can that transport ship travel?
Copy !req
80. Without warp drive, there's no way
he could be out of our range by now.
Copy !req
81. We've been sweeping
the area constantly.
Copy !req
82. There's nothing within sensor range.
Copy !req
83. Cloaking device?
Copy !req
84. Sir, the Angosians
have no cloaking technology.
Copy !req
85. - Unless he's borrowing one.
- Hmm?
Copy !req
86. If he's hanging
over the planet's pole,
Copy !req
87. the magnetic field
would confuse our sensors.
Copy !req
88. Commander, I believe I can recalibrate
our sensors
Copy !req
89. to read through the electromagnetic
interference over the poles.
Copy !req
90. Let's try it, Mr. Crusher.
Copy !req
91. Realign for polar orbit.
Copy !req
92. Aye, sir.
Copy !req
93. There he is, commander.
You were correct.
Copy !req
94. This guy knows all the tricks,
doesn't he?
Copy !req
95. Still no life-form readings
coming from the vessel.
Copy !req
96. Could it be the magnetic interference,
Data?
Copy !req
97. I have compensated.
Still no reading.
Copy !req
98. We'll have an answer shortly.
Lock on a tractor beam, Mr. La Forge.
Copy !req
99. Tractor beam locking on, sir.
Copy !req
100. - He is coming about, sir.
- He's out of his mind.
Copy !req
101. Sensors detect a massive
power build-up in his aft thrusters.
Copy !req
102. On main viewer.
Copy !req
103. He's making a suicide run.
Copy !req
104. Shields have been
automatically activated.
Copy !req
105. Tractor beam disengaged.
Copy !req
106. He bounced off the shields.
Copy !req
107. That's an interesting twist.
Copy !req
108. Mr. Crusher, fix coordinates
onto that vessel.
Copy !req
109. We'll just beam the whole thing
into our shuttle bay if we have to.
Copy !req
110. I do not believe
that will be necessary, captain.
Copy !req
111. He is no longer in the drive section.
Copy !req
112. What?
Copy !req
113. I anticipated that diversionary tactic
based on his pattern to date.
Copy !req
114. We are picking up
a cylindrical object
Copy !req
115. approximately 7 meters in length
and 3 meters in diameter.
Copy !req
116. On-screen.
Copy !req
117. Magnify.
Copy !req
118. An escape pod.
Copy !req
119. This guy's incredible.
Copy !req
120. Yet there are still
no life-form readings.
Copy !req
121. Transporter Room 4,
Copy !req
122. prepare to beam aboard from inside
that shuttle anything large enough
Copy !req
123. to be a humanoid adult.
Copy !req
124. O'BRIEN
Aye, sir.
Copy !req
125. Security team,
report to Transporter Room 4.
Copy !req
126. On our way, sir.
Copy !req
127. We're holding the contents in stasis
pending the arrival of security.
Copy !req
128. An illicit weapon has been detected
in the transporter beam, sir.
Copy !req
129. It's been rendered inoperable.
Copy !req
130. Worf, let's greet our guest.
Copy !req
131. Bring him in, Mr. O'Brien.
Copy !req
132. Just stay where you are.
Copy !req
133. More security, Transporter Room 4.
More security. More security.
Copy !req
134. Get him to a detention cell.
Copy !req
135. Set phasers on maximum stun.
Copy !req
136. O'BRIEN:
Commander.
Copy !req
137. We'll need a few hours
to get the containment field
Copy !req
138. on Lunar V operational
before we pick him up.
Copy !req
139. The damage he did during his escape
was considerable.
Copy !req
140. We will await your signal.
Copy !req
141. I appreciate your patience.
Copy !req
142. The prison psychologist
recommends
Copy !req
143. that you keep Danar fully sedated
until he's ready for transport.
Copy !req
144. Hmm.
Copy !req
145. Well, he's in our highest-security
detention area.
Copy !req
146. There shouldn't be
any more problems.
Copy !req
147. Do not relax your security
for an instant, captain.
Copy !req
148. He is extremely violent and
very cunning, as you already know.
Copy !req
149. I will send a transport vessel
to pick him up as soon as possible.
Copy !req
150. Nayrok out.
Copy !req
151. Have you run a diagnostic
on the sensors, Data?
Copy !req
152. Yes, sir. There is nothing wrong
with the ship's sensors.
Copy !req
153. The reason we did not pick up
life signs aboard the escape vessel
Copy !req
154. is because the prisoner
has no life signs.
Copy !req
155. Computer, identify the occupant
of the detention cell.
Copy !req
156. The detention cell
is vacant at this time.
Copy !req
157. He's in there.
Copy !req
158. Could he be some kind of android?
Copy !req
159. Our sensors can identify
artificial life-forms, sir.
Copy !req
160. Apparently, he is capable
of deceiving the sensors.
Copy !req
161. Are you all right?
Copy !req
162. What is this ship?
Copy !req
163. You're on board the USS Enterprise.
Copy !req
164. A war vessel?
Copy !req
165. A Federation starship.
Copy !req
166. Federation.
Copy !req
167. We were orbiting Angosia
when you escaped from Lunar V.
Copy !req
168. Well, it seems that I'm a victim
of my own bad timing.
Copy !req
169. Are you the keeper of this jail?
Copy !req
170. I'm Deanna Troi, ship's counselor.
Copy !req
171. Counselor? Too bad.
Copy !req
172. I'd rather you were the jailer
to keep me company
Copy !req
173. during my return trip.
Copy !req
174. I assume we are returning
to Lunar V.
Copy !req
175. That terrifies you.
Copy !req
176. I just killed three men
to get out of there, counselor.
Copy !req
177. And I'm fully capable
of killing you as well.
Copy !req
178. That's a terrifying thought, isn't it?
Even to me.
Copy !req
179. Do they mistreat you there?
Copy !req
180. Heh, not at all.
Copy !req
181. I am comfortable,
well fed and housed.
Copy !req
182. No, no, the Angosians take good care
of their prisoners.
Copy !req
183. It's simply a matter
of never being able to leave.
Copy !req
184. What about you, counselor?
Copy !req
185. Do you always visit the prisoners?
Copy !req
186. Are you a specialist
in criminal behavior?
Copy !req
187. Or am I just an interesting specimen
who landed on the ship like an insect
Copy !req
188. to be studied
under your microscope?
Copy !req
189. Why do you have all this anger
toward me?
Copy !req
190. A girl with long, dark hair
broke my heart a long time ago.
Copy !req
191. Out of bitterness and resentment,
Copy !req
192. I turned to crime.
Copy !req
193. How about this one?
Copy !req
194. My mother abandoned me
when I was a little boy.
Copy !req
195. I never got the guidance
that a wild young man needed.
Copy !req
196. Why are you doing this?
Copy !req
197. Playing games?
Isn't that what you do, counselor?
Copy !req
198. Isn't that what all
of you mind-control experts do?
Copy !req
199. I am not a mind-control expert.
Copy !req
200. I came here
because I sensed you were in pain.
Copy !req
201. And what do you sense now?
Copy !req
202. The pain is gone.
Copy !req
203. It's interesting, isn't it?
Copy !req
204. There's a duality about the man.
Copy !req
205. It's hard to describe.
Copy !req
206. He's aware of his crimes.
Copy !req
207. In fact, they trouble him deeply.
Copy !req
208. - Counselor—
- He's intelligent,
Copy !req
209. thoughtful, typically Angosian.
Copy !req
210. I know what he's done,
Copy !req
211. but when I'm with him,
I cannot believe
Copy !req
212. that he is randomly
and deliberately violent.
Copy !req
213. In fact, inherently,
he has a nonviolent personality.
Copy !req
214. Counselor,
it took five men to restrain him.
Copy !req
215. And he took apart half
the transporter room in the process.
Copy !req
216. I'm not opening the door for him,
captain.
Copy !req
217. I can only tell you that I sense
something very unusual about him.
Copy !req
218. Something that is not inherent
to a criminal personality.
Copy !req
219. In a few hours, I'll be turning him
over to the Angosians,
Copy !req
220. and I'll be happy to do it.
Copy !req
221. I understand.
Copy !req
222. Data?
Copy !req
223. Do we have a link-up
with the Angosian central computer?
Copy !req
224. Yes, counselor.
Copy !req
225. We are copying records
for Federation inspection
Copy !req
226. pursuant to their application
for admittance.
Copy !req
227. Can I see a police record
on Roga Danar?
Copy !req
228. There is no police record.
Copy !req
229. That's impossible.
He's been in prison.
Copy !req
230. Lunar V is a military prison facility.
Copy !req
231. Military? He's a soldier?
Copy !req
232. That may provide an explanation
for the tactics
Copy !req
233. he was able to use against us
when we tried to capture him.
Copy !req
234. It doesn't say here
what he was arrested for.
Copy !req
235. Call up his military record.
Copy !req
236. He served in many campaigns
during the Tarsian War,
Copy !req
237. received two promotions
to the rank of subahdar,
Copy !req
238. a very honorable tour of duty.
Copy !req
239. What was this man's crime?
Copy !req
240. I've learned you are a soldier.
Copy !req
241. I was a soldier.
Copy !req
242. Why were you put in prison?
Copy !req
243. Obviously because
I am a threat to society.
Copy !req
244. There's no police record.
What did you do?
Copy !req
245. Everything they asked me to do.
That's why I became such a threat.
Copy !req
246. I don't understand.
Copy !req
247. Why are you bothering to try,
counselor?
Copy !req
248. Because I want to help if I can.
Copy !req
249. Unlock the door.
Copy !req
250. You are a nonviolent man,
Copy !req
251. yet you committed acts
of excessive violence.
Copy !req
252. You can learn to do it if you have to.
Copy !req
253. - Did you have to?
- It was war.
Copy !req
254. So it started with the war.
Copy !req
255. It started the day I volunteered,
counselor.
Copy !req
256. The day I began training.
The day I met my first instructor.
Copy !req
257. And he also called himself
a counselor.
Copy !req
258. Roga Danar
was an idealistic young man
Copy !req
259. who answered his people's call
to service.
Copy !req
260. He joined the military to help fight
for the Angosian way of life.
Copy !req
261. What he didn't realize
was that by doing so,
Copy !req
262. he would have to give up
that way of life forever.
Copy !req
263. He's not the same man
who left home to go to war.
Copy !req
264. He's been through intense
psychological manipulation
Copy !req
265. and biochemical modifications.
Copy !req
266. At Troi's request, I examined him.
Copy !req
267. His cell structure has been
significantly altered.
Copy !req
268. They used a combination
of cryptobioloin,
Copy !req
269. triclenidil, macrospentol,
Copy !req
270. and a few things
I can't even recognize.
Copy !req
271. Was he a prisoner of war?
Who did this to him?
Copy !req
272. His own government.
Copy !req
273. He's been programmed
to be the perfect soldier.
Copy !req
274. He can be absolutely normal,
but when a danger is perceived,
Copy !req
275. the programming clicks in
and takes over.
Copy !req
276. Memory, strength, intelligence,
reflexes all become enhanced.
Copy !req
277. He's conditioned to survive
at any cost.
Copy !req
278. One of the new substances
in his cellular structure
Copy !req
279. even shields electrical impulses.
Copy !req
280. Perhaps that would explain
why our sensors did not detect him.
Copy !req
281. Why was he assigned
to the Lunar V facility?
Copy !req
282. He committed no crime.
Copy !req
283. He says he was ordered there
with others like him.
Copy !req
284. When the first soldiers returned
to Angosia, they had trouble.
Copy !req
285. The rules changed too quickly.
Copy !req
286. A lost temper could result in murder.
Copy !req
287. Counselor, did no one attempt
to adjust their programming?
Copy !req
288. They were just exiled to Lunar V.
Copy !req
289. Lunar V.
Copy !req
290. An orbiting gulag.
Copy !req
291. What do you want'?
Copy !req
292. - Am I disturbing you?
- Yes.
Copy !req
293. - Then I will leave.
- No, wait, wait.
Copy !req
294. I'd rather talk to someone.
Copy !req
295. - Why do you have yellow eyes?
- I am an Android.
Copy !req
296. I believe you and I
have something in common.
Copy !req
297. - We do?
- Yes.
Copy !req
298. We have both been programmed.
Copy !req
299. Ah, yes, yes, you've been talking
to Counselor Troi.
Copy !req
300. It is not at all the same, android.
Copy !req
301. I do not mean to belittle your condition.
I understand your dilemma.
Copy !req
302. But I am curious.
Copy !req
303. My program can be altered.
Yours cannot?
Copy !req
304. The man I was is still inside me,
Copy !req
305. but this conditioning
has been imposed,
Copy !req
306. woven together with my thoughts
and my feelings and my responses.
Copy !req
307. How do you separate
the program from the man?
Copy !req
308. Without further analysis
of your condition from Counselor Troi
Copy !req
309. or Dr. Crusher, I cannot say.
Copy !req
310. - But I believe it is possible.
- Yeah, doctors.
Copy !req
311. The Angosian doctors did this to me.
Copy !req
312. If it could be undone,
wouldn't they undo it?
Copy !req
313. I cannot answer that.
Copy !req
314. Nor can I.
Copy !req
315. Yet I ask myself that question
every moment of every day.
Copy !req
316. Captain, what this man has been
telling you is full of half-truths.
Copy !req
317. He's a prisoner. What do you
expect him to say about us?
Copy !req
318. Well, perhaps you would clarify it
for me.
Copy !req
319. Soldiers were resettled on Lunar V.
Copy !req
320. It was to be their colony.
Copy !req
321. Was it a resettlement
of their choosing?
Copy !req
322. It was for their own protection
as well as that of others.
Copy !req
323. Most of them are quite happy there.
Copy !req
324. We went to great lengths
to give them a fine quality of life.
Copy !req
325. Prime minister, even the most
comfortable prison is still a prison.
Copy !req
326. Unfortunately, a few agitators
like Danar forced us to add security.
Copy !req
327. My medical team suggests that
there may be alternative treatment.
Copy !req
328. Captain, I assure you that every
alternative has been explored.
Copy !req
329. And this discussion is now treading
upon matters of internal security.
Copy !req
330. This is not your concern.
Copy !req
331. I have dispatched a ship
to rendezvous with you
Copy !req
332. to transport the prisoner
back to Lunar V.
Copy !req
333. On behalf of Angosia,
I thank the Federation
Copy !req
334. for its assistance
in retrieving our citizen.
Copy !req
335. Matter of internal security.
Copy !req
336. The age-old cry of the oppressor.
Copy !req
337. - Were you built for combat, android?
No.
Copy !req
338. But my program
does include military strategy.
Copy !req
339. That is how I was able to anticipate
your final tactic and capture you.
Copy !req
340. You did that?
Copy !req
341. Perhaps you would be better
at combat than you think.
Copy !req
342. Except that I am not programmed
to kill.
Copy !req
343. My improved reflexes have allowed me
to kill 84 times.
Copy !req
344. And my improved memory
Copy !req
345. lets me remember
each of those 84 faces.
Copy !req
346. Can you understand how that feels?
Copy !req
347. I am incapable of any feeling.
Copy !req
348. Why, then I envy you.
Copy !req
349. Roga, this is Captain Picard.
Copy !req
350. Captain.
Copy !req
351. Mr. Danar, I am transferring you
to Angosian security.
Copy !req
352. They're en route.
They will arrive shortly.
Copy !req
353. I wanted to tell you I have no choice.
Copy !req
354. The prime minister insisted,
and we have no right to refuse.
Copy !req
355. Well, you would be foolish
to consider it otherwise, captain,
Copy !req
356. for they are very correct.
Copy !req
357. I am dangerous.
Copy !req
358. There is no place for me
in a civilized society.
Copy !req
359. - I do not believe that.
- Nor do I.
Copy !req
360. I respect my officers' judgments.
Copy !req
361. I wish I could help further.
If a way appears, I will.
Copy !req
362. I appreciate your telling me
that face-to-face.
Copy !req
363. I thought you deserved that much.
Copy !req
364. And you deserve to know
that I must use
Copy !req
365. whatever means I can to escape.
Copy !req
366. Captain,
the Angosian transport vessel
Copy !req
367. has arrived.
Copy !req
368. Inform them the transport
will take place shortly. Picard out.
Copy !req
369. Mr. Data, to the Bridge, please.
Copy !req
370. Take care of yourself, android.
I enjoyed our talk.
Copy !req
371. I too.
Copy !req
372. Perhaps when this planet becomes
a member of the Federation,
Copy !req
373. - we'll be able—
- I'll not be there to see it, counselor.
Copy !req
374. Because even with
this overwhelming demand to survive
Copy !req
375. that they've built into my soul,
Copy !req
376. I would rather die
than return to Lunar V.
Copy !req
377. Captain Picard,
we're ready to receive the prisoner.
Copy !req
378. [ON-SCREEN] Now transmitting
the coordinates of our holding cell.
Copy !req
379. Coordinates received, sir.
Copy !req
380. Stand by for transport. Picard out.
Copy !req
381. Mr. Worf, have all security precautions
been taken?
Copy !req
382. Release of the forcefield
and activation of the transporter
Copy !req
383. will be virtually simultaneous.
Copy !req
384. There will only be a 0.1 second
difference between them.
Copy !req
385. Even Danar can't move that fast.
Copy !req
386. There will be
a full security contingent present.
Copy !req
387. Proceed.
Copy !req
388. Transporter Room 1
to Lieutenant Worf. We're ready, sir.
Copy !req
389. Energizing.
Copy !req
390. O'Brien, increase transporter power.
Copy !req
391. I'm losing him.
Copy !req
392. Roga, don't. You'll be killed!
Copy !req
393. What the hell?
Copy !req
394. Security personnel, full alert.
Copy !req
395. Shut down all shuttle bays,
transporters and turbolifts.
Copy !req
396. Captain, a phaser is missing.
Copy !req
397. We must assume that he is armed.
Copy !req
398. Sound general quarters.
Copy !req
399. Clear all corridors
of nonessential personnel.
Copy !req
400. I don't want him
taking any hostages.
Copy !req
401. General quarters sounded, sir.
Copy !req
402. Raise security containment fields
immediately on Decks 34, 35 and 36.
Copy !req
403. Aye, sir.
- Data, put the turbolifts back online.
Copy !req
404. If Danar sees they're operating,
he may try to use them.
Copy !req
405. As soon as he does, we have him.
Copy !req
406. Sir, unauthorized access
of Turbolift 5 on Deck 34.
Copy !req
407. - He took the bait.
- Data, override its destination.
Copy !req
408. Divert that turbolift to a position near
to Lieutenant Worf's present location.
Copy !req
409. Four seconds to arrival, sir.
Copy !req
410. We're in position.
Copy !req
411. Phaser on overload. Seal this deck.
Copy !req
412. Captain,
the overload has been averted.
Copy !req
413. Drop forcefield on Deck 36.
Copy !req
414. Sir, containment field down
on Deck 36.
Copy !req
415. - How the hell did he manage that?
- He's headed for Engineering.
Copy !req
416. Riker to La Forge.
Copy !req
417. Engineering, respond.
Copy !req
418. Engineering? Engineering, come in.
Copy !req
419. Geordi, are you okay?
Copy !req
420. Captain, someone in Engineering
Copy !req
421. is attempting to override
the security-system lockout.
Copy !req
422. Riker to Worf. He's in Engineering.
Copy !req
423. Acknowledged, commander.
We're on our way.
Copy !req
424. Data, I want you to stall Danar.
Allow him to think he's succeeding.
Copy !req
425. As he bypasses each subsystem,
Copy !req
426. I can reroute it
without his knowledge.
Copy !req
427. Make it so.
Copy !req
428. Danar is extremely adept, sir.
Copy !req
429. I'm not certain which security measure
he's attempting to circumvent.
Copy !req
430. Sir, Danar has succeeded
in restoring power to Shuttle Bay 2.
Copy !req
431. I have overridden Danar's bypass.
Copy !req
432. Shuttle Bay 2 is once again inactive.
Copy !req
433. Very good, Mr. Data.
Now we know where he's headed.
Copy !req
434. - You okay?
- Geordi!
Copy !req
435. I'm all right.
Copy !req
436. He took us by surprise.
He came out of nowhere.
Copy !req
437. I didn't think anyone
could move that fast.
Copy !req
438. Lieutenant,
I am reading an open panel.
Copy !req
439. K-12, J-9, Deck 30.
Copy !req
440. Acknowledged.
Copy !req
441. Danar must have climbed up
the reactor core
Copy !req
442. and gotten into a Jefferies tube.
Copy !req
443. Ahh, he could be anywhere.
Copy !req
444. We believe he is attempting
to reach Shuttle Bay 2.
Copy !req
445. That's 25 decks up from here.
Copy !req
446. Quite a climb,
but I wouldn't put it past him.
Copy !req
447. There is a full contingent of security
at all shuttle bays.
Copy !req
448. You want my advice? Double it.
Copy !req
449. Captain, reading another
open access panel.
Copy !req
450. Security team to Jefferies tube,
J-4, Deck 15.
Copy !req
451. Security acknowledged.
Copy !req
452. Deck 15.
A few decks below the shuttle bay.
Copy !req
453. Sir, I find it highly unlikely that Danar
Copy !req
454. would be attempting
to reach Shuttle Bay 2.
Copy !req
455. - Explain.
In our previous encounter,
Copy !req
456. Danar employed
a strategy of misdirection
Copy !req
457. in an attempt to gain his objective.
Copy !req
458. And you believe
he's using the same tactic now?
Copy !req
459. He is aware that our sensors
are unable to track him,
Copy !req
460. yet he seems to be purposely
leaving a trail for us to follow.
Copy !req
461. Where do you think he's headed?
Copy !req
462. I am afraid his true destination
remains a mystery.
Copy !req
463. Readings now indicate
an open access panel
Copy !req
464. in Jefferies tube N-11, Deck 38.
Copy !req
465. - He's doubled back on us.
- The cargo bays.
Copy !req
466. Advise all personnel on Deck 38
Copy !req
467. - to stay out of the cargo bays.
Aye, sir.
Copy !req
468. Status, Mr. Data?
- They appear to be empty, sir.
Copy !req
469. Good.
Copy !req
470. I want you to flood
them with anesthizine.
Copy !req
471. Aye, sir.
Copy !req
472. Sensors show anesthizine
concentration 70 parts per million
Copy !req
473. within the cargo bays.
Copy !req
474. That should put our boy to sleep.
Copy !req
475. Return environmental conditions
to normal, Mr. Data.
Copy !req
476. Move in your security teams,
Mr. Worf.
Copy !req
477. Acknowledged.
Copy !req
478. Worf to Bridge.
Copy !req
479. We have found no sign
of the intruder.
Copy !req
480. But there is a missing pressure suit
from Cargo Bay 3.
Copy !req
481. Pressure suit?
Copy !req
482. Could be he's planning
to enter Shuttle Bay 2
Copy !req
483. from outside the Enterprise,
bypassing the security guards.
Copy !req
484. Mr. Worf, post security guards
Copy !req
485. at all emergency airlocks
on Decks 37 through 39.
Copy !req
486. Aye, sir.
Copy !req
487. I'll also cover
the photon torpedo launchers.
Copy !req
488. Danar may attempt
to leave the ship that way.
Copy !req
489. Worf out.
Copy !req
490. Danar.
Copy !req
491. You are cunning.
Copy !req
492. You must have Klingon blood.
Copy !req
493. But the battle is over.
Copy !req
494. My battle is never over.
Copy !req
495. Worf to Bridge. I have Danar.
Copy !req
496. Explosion in Jefferies tube
section T-95.
Copy !req
497. - All external sensors inoperative.
- Go to backup systems.
Copy !req
498. Unable to transfer control, sir.
Copy !req
499. - What—?
Sit down, gentlemen.
Copy !req
500. - Worf to Bridge.
Go ahead.
Copy !req
501. Danar has escaped.
Copy !req
502. He used a phaser
to power the cargo transporter.
Copy !req
503. Coordinates indicate he beamed
aboard the Angosian transport ship.
Copy !req
504. Data, can you verify that?
Copy !req
505. Negative, sir.
Copy !req
506. All external sensors
still nonfunctioning.
Copy !req
507. Then we have no way to track him.
Copy !req
508. That was his plan all along.
Copy !req
509. First officer's log, supplemental.
Copy !req
510. We are continuing to repair damage
to the ship's sensors
Copy !req
511. following the escape
of the Angosian prisoner, Danar.
Copy !req
512. He is still at large.
Copy !req
513. Engineering, I'm getting readings
on tactical. Are we back up?
Copy !req
514. Affirmative, commander.
Copy !req
515. Mr. Worf, sweep the area.
Copy !req
516. Captain, the prime minister
is hailing us, priority one.
Copy !req
517. On-screen.
Copy !req
518. Priority channel clear.
Copy !req
519. Yes, prime minister?
Copy !req
520. Captain, I've just been informed
that Roga Danar
Copy !req
521. has attacked
the penal colony on Lunar V.
Copy !req
522. Attacked it?
Copy !req
523. In our own police shuttle.
Copy !req
524. Several of my people
have been wounded.
Copy !req
525. Hundreds of prisoners are rioting.
Copy !req
526. Some of them have escaped
with Danar
Copy !req
527. and, at last report,
are headed toward the capital city.
Copy !req
528. Captain, we are not suited
to handle situations like this.
Copy !req
529. That's what we created them for.
Copy !req
530. I'll send an away team,
prime minister.
Copy !req
531. Picard out.
Copy !req
532. Counselor Troi, Commander Data
and Mr. Worf,
Copy !req
533. you will accompany me
to the planet.
Copy !req
534. And my understanding is that
these men are programmed to survive,
Copy !req
535. - is that correct?
- Yes, captain.
Copy !req
536. And that they will not kill
unless their survival is at stake?
Copy !req
537. It is against their nature to do so,
captain.
Copy !req
538. Then let us hope they do not believe
their survival is at stake.
Copy !req
539. Mr. Worf.
Copy !req
540. You are personally responsible
for the captain's safety.
Copy !req
541. I understand, commander.
Copy !req
542. I don't expect them
to listen to reason.
Copy !req
543. I loathe the idea
of a violent confrontation,
Copy !req
544. but we must be prepared.
Copy !req
545. This is all you've brought?
Copy !req
546. Where are your security men?
Copy !req
547. We're not here
to fight your wars for you.
Copy !req
548. They have been seen
moving towards the center of the city.
Copy !req
549. People are scared.
Copy !req
550. Don't you understand?
They're dangerous.
Copy !req
551. You are dangerous.
They're only victims.
Copy !req
552. You made them what they are.
Copy !req
553. You asked them to defend your way
of life, and then you discarded them.
Copy !req
554. They were not happy here.
Copy !req
555. They were not welcome here.
Copy !req
556. It was the will of the people
to resettle them.
Copy !req
557. No one was pleased
with the solution.
Copy !req
558. But we had to act
for the greater good.
Copy !req
559. Prime minister,
Copy !req
560. if you have the skills to create
a master soldier,
Copy !req
561. can you not counteract the effect?
Copy !req
562. The chemicals can be removed
from their systems.
Copy !req
563. But we're not convinced
that the psychological conditioning
Copy !req
564. can ever be entirely reversed.
Copy !req
565. - Have you tried, sir?
- We studied it thoroughly.
Copy !req
566. Even before the training began,
Copy !req
567. we knew there would be problems
reversing it.
Copy !req
568. It was a risk we had to take.
Copy !req
569. Did you reveal that risk to the men
who volunteered for service?
Copy !req
570. We were helping them
to survive the war.
Copy !req
571. You understand?
Copy !req
572. They needed those skills.
Copy !req
573. They're your brothers, your sons,
and you turned your backs on them.
Copy !req
574. There are methods of treatment.
Copy !req
575. Until you try them,
how can you know they won't work?
Copy !req
576. Even a partial recovery
could give them some peace.
Copy !req
577. It was the will of the people.
Copy !req
578. To allow them to suffer?
Copy !req
579. There was a referendum.
Copy !req
580. The people weighed
the costs involved.
Copy !req
581. They chose the settlement solution.
Copy !req
582. Besides, we may need
to use them again someday.
Copy !req
583. - Have you understood one word?
Move in!
Copy !req
584. - Freeze.
- Nobody move.
Copy !req
585. No, Worf.
Copy !req
586. All of you. Don't respond.
Copy !req
587. Don't provoke them further.
Keep those weapons down
Copy !req
588. unless you wish to be killed.
Copy !req
589. - Do as he says.
- No.
Copy !req
590. Don't. Shoot us.
Copy !req
591. Destroy us. Do what you have to.
Copy !req
592. But you will not ignore us.
Copy !req
593. Come on, do it!
Copy !req
594. Cowards.
Copy !req
595. Yes, and you're not programmed
to murder cowards.
Copy !req
596. So if they will not fight back,
what will you do?
Copy !req
597. We will not go back.
Copy !req
598. You are programmed to survive.
Copy !req
599. You can survive
at the Lunar V settlement.
Copy !req
600. To survive is not enough.
To simply exist is not enough.
Copy !req
601. Roga, tell them what you want.
Copy !req
602. We want our lives back.
Copy !req
603. We want to come home.
Copy !req
604. I am not prepared to negotiate
under threat, Danar.
Copy !req
605. But if you will put down your weapons
and return peaceably to Lunar V,
Copy !req
606. I would be willing.
Copy !req
607. Mr. Prime Minister,
Copy !req
608. with all due respect,
you will have to force us.
Copy !req
609. Or at least try.
Copy !req
610. Captain, you must do something.
Call your ship.
Copy !req
611. Quite right, prime minister.
Copy !req
612. Enterprise, prepare to beam
the away team back.
Copy !req
613. At your command, captain.
Copy !req
614. Picard, you can't leave us like this.
Copy !req
615. I have all the information
I need for my report.
Copy !req
616. Your prisoner
has been returned to you.
Copy !req
617. And you have a decision to make.
Copy !req
618. Whether to try
and force them back
Copy !req
619. or welcome them home.
Copy !req
620. In your own words,
this is not our affair.
Copy !req
621. We cannot interfere
in the natural course
Copy !req
622. of your society's development.
Copy !req
623. And I'd say it's going to develop
significantly in the next few minutes.
Copy !req
624. It's been an interesting visit.
When you're ready for membership,
Copy !req
625. the Federation will be pleased
to reconsider your application.
Copy !req
626. - Mr. Riker, four to beam up.
Aye, sir.
Copy !req
627. Success, captain?
- Number One,
Copy !req
628. will you note in our report
Copy !req
629. that if the government
of Angosia survives the night,
Copy !req
630. we will offer them
Federation assistance
Copy !req
631. in their efforts
to reprogram their veterans?
Copy !req
632. And if the government doesn't survive?
Copy !req
633. I have a feeling they will choose to.
Copy !req
634. Mr. Crusher, set coordinates
for starbase Lyra 3.
Copy !req
635. Coordinates set, sir.
Copy !req
636. Engage.
Copy !req
