1. Captain's Log,
Stardate 46682.4.Copy !req
2. The Enterprise is docked
at the Remmler Array,Copy !req
3. where it will undergo
a routine procedureCopy !req
4. to eliminate accumulated
baryon particles.Copy !req
5. In preparation for the sweep,
we are evacuating the ship.Copy !req
6. Attention, personnel
on decks 14 and 15.Copy !req
7. Your transporter room
assignment has been changed.Copy !req
8. Report
to transporter room three.Copy !req
9. Captain, we're still
behind schedule on
decks seven and eight.Copy !req
10. Shall I tell Arkaria Base
there'll be a delay?Copy !req
11. No. Open up the transporters
on Cargo Bay TwoCopy !req
12. and divert everyone
from deck seven to there.Copy !req
13. That should put us
back on track.
Right.Copy !req
14. All beta shift
engineering personnelCopy !req
15. are requested to report
to main engineering...Copy !req
16. Captain, the Arkaria Base
does not haveCopy !req
17. the medical storage units
I requested.Copy !req
18. I have seven
living tissue samplesCopy !req
19. that won't survive
the baryon sweepCopy !req
20. any more than
you and I would.Copy !req
21. I've tried to
reason with them.Copy !req
22. All right, uh, have
Commander La ForgeCopy !req
23. transport a stasis unit
from the astrophysics lab.Copy !req
24. You should be able
to convert it to
store tissue samples.Copy !req
25. Thank you, Captain.Copy !req
26. All science personnel,
please check in with
your section chiefCopy !req
27. for a station-side
duty assignment.Copy !req
28. Captain. I'm heading
to deck seven.Copy !req
29. I've put the auto-shutdown
sequence on holdCopy !req
30. until we get back
on schedule.Copy !req
31. Oh, I think we can
resume the sequence.Copy !req
32. Counselor Troi is
taking care of the
situation on deck seven.Copy !req
33. Aye, sir.Copy !req
34. Captain.Copy !req
35. Bridge.Copy !req
36. It has been quite
a day, has it not?Copy !req
37. Yes, it has.Copy !req
38. However, a change
of routine is often
invigoratingCopy !req
39. and can be a welcome
diversion after
a long assignment.Copy !req
40. Exactly.Copy !req
41. I understand that Arkaria
has some very interesting
weather patterns.Copy !req
42. Mr. Data,
are you all right?Copy !req
43. Yes, sir.
I am attempting to fillCopy !req
44. a silent moment with
nonrelevant conversation.Copy !req
45. Ah. Small talk.
Yes, sir.Copy !req
46. I have found that humans
often use "small talk"
during awkward moments.Copy !req
47. Therefore, I have
written a new subroutine
for that purpose.Copy !req
48. How did I do?Copy !req
49. Perhaps it was a little...
too nonrelevant,Copy !req
50. but if you really are
interested in small talk,Copy !req
51. then you should keep your
eye on Commander HutchinsonCopy !req
52. at the reception
this afternoon.Copy !req
53. He's a master.Copy !req
54. Hmm. Thank you,
sir. I will.Copy !req
55. Captain.
Captain.Copy !req
56. After you, sir.
No, after you.Copy !req
57. No, sir. I believe
you spoke first.Copy !req
58. Gentlemen, gentlemen,
we're running of time.
Mr. Worf?Copy !req
59. The computer needs
your authorizationCopy !req
60. to disable command functions
during the baryon sweep.Copy !req
61. Are we ready,
Commander La Forge?Copy !req
62. Almost. I've requested two
additional field diverters,Copy !req
63. one for the computer core,
one for the bridge.Copy !req
64. They haven't been
installed yet.Copy !req
65. Additional units?Copy !req
66. Yes, sir. We've logged,
in five years,Copy !req
67. more warp hours than
most ships do in ten,Copy !req
68. so our baryon particle
levels are high.Copy !req
69. I'm a little concerned
that when the Remmler ArrayCopy !req
70. starts to sweep the ship,Copy !req
71. it'll have to use
a stronger beam than normalCopy !req
72. in order to get rid
of all the radiation.Copy !req
73. And that might overload
the field convertersCopy !req
74. protecting our key systems.Copy !req
75. How long until the
new ones are in place?Copy !req
76. I'd say about 20 minutes.Copy !req
77. Very well.Copy !req
78. Computer, disable
all command functions
in 30 minutes.Copy !req
79. Picard
gamma-six-zero-seven-three.Copy !req
80. Authorization
acknowledged.Copy !req
81. Captain.
Incoming message.Copy !req
82. It's the station
administrator, Mr. Orton.Copy !req
83. In my ready room,
Mr. Worf.Copy !req
84. And, Captain, request
permission to be excusedCopy !req
85. from Commander Hutchinson's
reception.Copy !req
86. Permission granted.Copy !req
87. I wish I could
excuse myself as well.Copy !req
88. Captain, permission...Copy !req
89. Mr. La Forge,
I cannot excuseCopy !req
90. my entire senior staff.Copy !req
91. Mr. Worf beat you to it.Copy !req
92. Go ahead, Mr. Orton.Copy !req
93. Captain, if you're
on schedule, I'd
like to confirmCopy !req
94. that we'll begin
the baryon sweep
at 1500 hours—Copy !req
95. approximately
one hour from now.
Confirmed.Copy !req
96. Commander Hutchinson
also wanted me to make sureCopy !req
97. that you'll be able to attend
his reception this afternoon.Copy !req
98. Tell him I'm
looking forward to it.Copy !req
99. He'll be delighted
to hear that.Copy !req
100. Arkaria base out.Copy !req
101. Tell Arkaria Base we're
almost finished here.Copy !req
102. We're going to need
two more conduits.Copy !req
103. I need to run a diagnostic
on the diverter.Copy !req
104. Get the diverter aligned
so we can begin
the isolation procedure.Copy !req
105. Where's the ODN
interface?Copy !req
106. Space, the final frontier.Copy !req
107. These are the voyages
of the Starship Enterprise.Copy !req
108. Its continuing mission—Copy !req
109. to explore
strange new worlds...Copy !req
110. to seek out new life
and new civilizations...Copy !req
111. to boldly go
where no one has gone before.Copy !req
112. Your Remmler Array
is considered...Copy !req
113. Here you are.Copy !req
114. That's nice to hear.Copy !req
115. What are these?Copy !req
116. Briskian cheese pastries.Copy !req
117. Geordi, would you get me
some more fruit salad?Copy !req
118. Beverly, lovely as ever.Copy !req
119. How do you manage it?Copy !req
120. It's good
to see you again.Copy !req
121. It's been far too long.Copy !req
122. What is it, four years?Copy !req
123. Now, I want to hear
about everythingCopy !req
124. that happened after you
left Starfleet medical.Copy !req
125. And I have so much
to tell you.Copy !req
126. Oh, that must be
Commander Riker.Copy !req
127. Excuse me.Copy !req
128. Of course.Copy !req
129. Pardon me.Copy !req
130. You must be Will Riker.Copy !req
131. I must be.Copy !req
132. Calvin Hutchinson.
Call me Hutch.Copy !req
133. Calvin— awful name.
I've never forgiven
my parents.Copy !req
134. Soon as I saw you,
I knew you had to beCopy !req
135. the Enterprise's
first officer.Copy !req
136. Oh?
Oh, of course.Copy !req
137. Your reputation
precedes you—Copy !req
138. flashing blue eyes,
square jaw—Copy !req
139. quite the ladies' man,
I hear.Copy !req
140. Now, don't be
modest, Will.Copy !req
141. Oh, may I
call you "Will"?Copy !req
142. Uh, sure.Copy !req
143. I also hear that
you're a musician.Copy !req
144. I certainly hope you'll
play something for us.Copy !req
145. It's not often
we get to entertainCopy !req
146. the command crew
of the flagship.Copy !req
147. Oh, and speaking
of command.Copy !req
148. Hello, Captain Picard.Copy !req
149. Commander.Copy !req
150. I was just telling
your first officerCopy !req
151. what a real pleasure
it is to have
all of you here.Copy !req
152. So how are you, anyway?Copy !req
153. Very well.
Thank you.Copy !req
154. What have
you been up to?Copy !req
155. It is very good
to see you both again.Copy !req
156. Beverly...Copy !req
157. may I call
you "Beverly"?Copy !req
158. Beverly, have you noticed
that the mean temperature
here on ArkariaCopy !req
159. is slightly higher
than normal for
human comfort levels?Copy !req
160. I have found that humans
prefer a body temperature
of 21 degrees CelsiusCopy !req
161. in order to operate
most efficiently.Copy !req
162. However, there are
several culturesCopy !req
163. who actually prefer that
their body temperatureCopy !req
164. is identical to the
temperature of the room
in which they are standing.Copy !req
165. The Sheliak,
for example...Copy !req
166. I am telling you,
you have never seen
anything like this.Copy !req
167. There were thousands
of these creatures.Copy !req
168. The whole northern sky
turned dark.Copy !req
169. Oh, uh, Geordi...
Deanna.Copy !req
170. I don't think you
have met our host.Copy !req
171. This is Lieutenant
Commander Geordi La Forge.Copy !req
172. Hello.
Hi.Copy !req
173. Counselor Deanna Troi.Copy !req
174. This is
Commander Hutchinson.Copy !req
175. Oh, please,
call me Hutch.
Hello.Copy !req
176. I was just telling
your captain hereCopy !req
177. about some of the more
fascinating sights
here in Arkaria.Copy !req
178. Either of you interested
in ornithology?Copy !req
179. Uh, well...
The mating habitsCopy !req
180. of the Arkarian horn fowl
are quite interesting.Copy !req
181. If the weather were better,
we could take horsesCopy !req
182. to the southern
promontory and visit
the nesting grounds.Copy !req
183. Horses?
Yes.Copy !req
184. We have a network of trails
through the plains.Copy !req
185. Unfortunately, it's not
very pleasant right now—
cold, muddy.Copy !req
186. Not a soul
for kilometers.Copy !req
187. Sounds perfect.Copy !req
188. Mr. La Forge, how long
before the baryon sweepCopy !req
189. begins on the Enterprise?
About 25 minutes, sir.Copy !req
190. Then I have enough time
to go back to the ship
and get my saddle.Copy !req
191. Your saddle?Copy !req
192. Yes. A saddle is
a very personal thing.Copy !req
193. It has to be, uh,
broken in, used, cared for.Copy !req
194. You keep a saddle
on board the Enterprise?Copy !req
195. Oh, yes, yes.Copy !req
196. I never know
when I will have
the opportunity to ride.Copy !req
197. I see.
It's perfectly normal.Copy !req
198. You know, most
serious riders do have
their own saddles.Copy !req
199. Of course.
Absolutely.Copy !req
200. Well, if you
will excuse me.Copy !req
201. Amazing man.Copy !req
202. You know, he reminds me
of another officerCopy !req
203. I knew years ago—
a Captain Edwell.Copy !req
204. Now, he was fascinating.
Born on Gaspar VII,Copy !req
205. but you wouldn't know it
from the way he looked.Copy !req
206. Auto-shutdown sequence
in progress.Copy !req
207. Defensive systems
off-line.Copy !req
208. Baryon sweep begins
in eight minutes.Copy !req
209. What are you doing?Copy !req
210. Someone left this ODN
junction box open.Copy !req
211. I thought your crew
was supposed to be
off the shipCopy !req
212. once the field diverters
were in place.Copy !req
213. The diverters
have to be synchronized.Copy !req
214. I was laser bonding
a backup link.Copy !req
215. I see.Copy !req
216. Well, I better
let you finish upCopy !req
217. so that you
can get off the ship.Copy !req
218. Excuse me a minute.Copy !req
219. Auto-shutdown sequence
in progress.Copy !req
220. Primary power off-line
in one minute.Copy !req
221. We still need to bypassCopy !req
222. the magnetic
containment conduit.Copy !req
223. That should be down
on deck 30.Copy !req
224. Well, then get Pomet
started on it right away.Copy !req
225. Primary power off-line
in 30 seconds.Copy !req
226. Final warning.Copy !req
227. Primary power off-line
in ten seconds.Copy !req
228. Hmm... yes.
I find it fascinatingCopy !req
229. that your family chose
to drop the prefix "Pel"
from your surname.Copy !req
230. It was my understanding
that "Pel Orton"Copy !req
231. is a more noble appellation
than simply "Orton."Copy !req
232. Yes.
Hmm.Copy !req
233. Perhaps the recent
Arkarian trend towardCopy !req
234. a more egalitarian society
is partly responsible, huh?Copy !req
235. Perhaps.Copy !req
236. The crew of the MagellanCopy !req
237. actually put on
a talent show here.Copy !req
238. Captain Conklin
did a poetry reading,
if you can imagine that.Copy !req
239. I'm trying to.
Did I ever tell youCopy !req
240. how I happened
to be stationed here?Copy !req
241. It's a fascinating story.Copy !req
242. I was serving on
Admiral Mitchell's staffCopy !req
243. on Starbase 97—
awful place, by the way.Copy !req
244. Have you met
our Commander Data?
Hmm?Copy !req
245. as a matter of fact,
I find it oddly amusing.Copy !req
246. No, I don't think so.Copy !req
247. Come on,
I'll introduce you.Copy !req
248. There are several
cultures in this sectorCopy !req
249. with extremely similar
etymological histories.
For example...Copy !req
250. Mr. Data, I don't know
if you've had a chance meetCopy !req
251. our host,
Commander Hutchinson.Copy !req
252. "Call me Hutch."Copy !req
253. Lieutenant Commander Data,
our second officer.Copy !req
254. A pleasure.Copy !req
255. The pleasure
is mine... Hutch.Copy !req
256. I've been meaning
to compliment youCopy !req
257. on your choice
of colors here.Copy !req
258. Oh, you really
think so, hmm?Copy !req
259. Well, it wasn't easy
making a final decision,
let me tell you.Copy !req
260. I can well imagine.
The light in this roomCopy !req
261. would make color selection
exceptionally problematic.Copy !req
262. Precisely.Copy !req
263. Thank you.Copy !req
264. You're welcome.Copy !req
265. I'm not sure which one
to feel sorry for.Copy !req
266. Mr. Orton?Copy !req
267. You'll excuse me,
Commander?Copy !req
268. Geordi, what happened
to the captain?Copy !req
269. Oh, he went back
to the ship to
get his saddle.Copy !req
270. His saddle?Copy !req
271. Any serious rider
would have his own saddle.Copy !req
272. Oh.Copy !req
273. He probably went
straight to the stables.Copy !req
274. I bet he's ten kilometers
from here already.Copy !req
275. Lucky him.Copy !req
276. Thank you.Copy !req
277. Kelsey to Devor.Copy !req
278. Kelsey to Devor.Copy !req
279. Devor, this is Kelsey.
Reply.Copy !req
280. Devor, do you read me?Copy !req
281. Kelsey to Kiros.
This is Kiros.Copy !req
282. Devor isn't responding.Copy !req
283. There must be
too much interference
from the baryon sweep.Copy !req
284. Go find him and see
if he finishedCopy !req
285. bypassing the regulator
on deck seven.Copy !req
286. Then meet us
in main engineering.Copy !req
287. Understood.Copy !req
288. Hey.Copy !req
289. Hey.Copy !req
290. Who are you?Copy !req
291. What are you doing
on my ship?Copy !req
292. The baryon sweep
uses a high-frequency
plasma field.Copy !req
293. Your phaser won't work.Copy !req
294. You're probably
right, but I'd like
to bet this will.Copy !req
295. A laser welder
can be deadly.Copy !req
296. Now, what's going on
in main engineering?Copy !req
297. I suggest
that you cooperate.Copy !req
298. You're Starfleet.
You won't kill me.Copy !req
299. You sure?Copy !req
300. It seems you're right.Copy !req
301. Yes, but
Tyrellian laser-artCopy !req
302. is very similar in both
form and composition.Copy !req
303. Well, of course.Copy !req
304. You know, funny you
should mention that.Copy !req
305. I used to be stationed
on Tyrellia.Copy !req
306. Really?
Yes.Copy !req
307. Did you know there are
currentlyCopy !req
308. five Tyrellians serving
aboard the Enterprise?Copy !req
309. That's fascinating.
Not too many people
know this, but TyrelliaCopy !req
310. is only one of three
known inhabited planets
without a magnetic pole.Copy !req
311. I was aware of that,
but are you awareCopy !req
312. that Tyrellia is one
of seven known planetsCopy !req
313. with no atmosphere
whatsoever?Copy !req
314. Really?
Mm.Copy !req
315. They're still at it.Copy !req
316. Nonstop.
I have to admit,Copy !req
317. it has a sort of
strange fascination.Copy !req
318. How long can two people
talk about nothing?Copy !req
319. Is something wrong?Copy !req
320. Uh, I don't know.
I was just getting someCopy !req
321. very strange energy readings
from your table here.Copy !req
322. Well, I'm sure
it's nothing serious.Copy !req
323. Perhaps the heating
element underneath the
table is malfunctioning.Copy !req
324. Maybe I should take
a look at it for you.Copy !req
325. I'm sure we can
handle this,Copy !req
326. whatever
it is, Commander.Copy !req
327. There's no need
to concern yourself.Copy !req
328. Well, maybe I should
look at the element.Copy !req
329. I mean, in case...Copy !req
330. It's all right.
Please, don't worry.Copy !req
331. What's that all about?Copy !req
332. I assure you, Commander
La Forge, it's all right.Copy !req
333. We'll look into it.Copy !req
334. You don't have
to concern yourself.Copy !req
335. Orton, now!Copy !req
336. What is going on?Copy !req
337. Stay right where you are.Copy !req
338. Reduce the plasma pressure
to 0.6 percent nominal.Copy !req
339. Zero point six.Copy !req
340. How does
the conduit look?Copy !req
341. It's clear.Copy !req
342. All right.
The main plasma flowCopy !req
343. has been shunted to
the aft conduit.Copy !req
344. We're ready here.Copy !req
345. Okay, that should
do it, I think.Copy !req
346. Be sure, Neil.Copy !req
347. Uh, yes.Copy !req
348. Yeah, that does it.Copy !req
349. Um, all right.Copy !req
350. Transfer 500 milligrams
from the reserve system
to the engine core.Copy !req
351. Perfect.Copy !req
352. Adequate. Disable
the containment overridesCopy !req
353. and get the interlocks
off the magnetic seal.Copy !req
354. Pomet, prepare
the transport assembly.Copy !req
355. Keep watching
that power flow.Copy !req
356. It might...Copy !req
357. Keep working.Copy !req
358. Where'd he come from?Copy !req
359. Found him on deck seven.Copy !req
360. Who are you?Copy !req
361. My name is Mot.Copy !req
362. I'm, uh,
I'm the barber.Copy !req
363. Barber? What the hell
are you doing here?Copy !req
364. Everyone was supposed
to be evacuated
to the surface.Copy !req
365. Yes, I know, um...
but I wanted to go riding,
but I didn't have my saddle.Copy !req
366. So, I went back...
Your saddle?Copy !req
367. Yes, that's right.
It's on deck seven.Copy !req
368. I left it in
the corridor.Copy !req
369. And then the power went out,
and I got lost, and...Copy !req
370. All right, all right,
shut up.
I didn't know...Copy !req
371. Just shut up!Copy !req
372. Any sign of Devor?Copy !req
373. No.Copy !req
374. Satler.Copy !req
375. Get down here,
and, uh...Copy !req
376. keep an eye
on our barber.Copy !req
377. All right, go see if
you can find Devor.Copy !req
378. Make sure
nothing's wrong.Copy !req
379. Sit down.Copy !req
380. All right.Copy !req
381. Look, just don't point
that thing at me.Copy !req
382. Just do what I
tell you, and you
won't have to worry.Copy !req
383. How long
until you're ready?Copy !req
384. 40, maybe 50 minutes.Copy !req
385. The baryon sweep
hits this compartment
in 30 minutes.Copy !req
386. The field diverter
will protect us.Copy !req
387. It is not us
I'm worried about—
it's that storage unit.Copy !req
388. I want the trilithium
resin in there and secured
before the sweep gets here.Copy !req
389. I don't want to take
any chances.Copy !req
390. Understood.Copy !req
391. They haven't tried
to communicate
with the outside.Copy !req
392. No demands, no
political statements...Copy !req
393. no theft.
They must want something.Copy !req
394. Orton is not as calm
as he looks.Copy !req
395. He's very agitated
and nervous,Copy !req
396. as if something's
gone wrong.Copy !req
397. It is possible
that Geordi upset
their timetableCopy !req
398. when he saw the
hidden weapons.Copy !req
399. Orton may be
improvising.Copy !req
400. Maybe he didn't plan to
take us hostage so earlyCopy !req
401. and now he doesn't
know what to do.Copy !req
402. If they do not
have a plan for
this contingency,Copy !req
403. we may have
the initiative.Copy !req
404. Maybe, but we need to
figure out how to use it.Copy !req
405. How is he?Copy !req
406. There's no
permanent damage.Copy !req
407. I've adjusted the
optical transducer
in his visorCopy !req
408. to block out
some of the pain
receptors in his brain.Copy !req
409. It's only
partially effective.Copy !req
410. I need to get him
to a medical facility.Copy !req
411. I doubt if they'll
agree to that.Copy !req
412. But maybe if we tell
them Geordi's dying,Copy !req
413. they would give us access
to a medical kit.Copy !req
414. We might be able to
use some of the tools
to make a weapon.Copy !req
415. Perhaps we can use
the visor as a weapon.Copy !req
416. If the optical transducer
were modified,Copy !req
417. we might be able
to generate
a hypersonic pulse.Copy !req
418. A hypersonic pulse
would overloadCopy !req
419. the audio receptors
of everyone in this room.Copy !req
420. It would cause
immediate unconsciousness.Copy !req
421. Can you make the adjustment
on the visor yourself?Copy !req
422. It will look suspicious
if you're both working on it.Copy !req
423. I'll try.Copy !req
424. I might need Geordi
to help me through
some of it.Copy !req
425. All right.Copy !req
426. Be as casual
as you can.Copy !req
427. Let me know when
you're ready.Copy !req
428. Ready.Copy !req
429. All right, begin
draining the trilithiumCopy !req
430. at 100 milligrams
per minute.Copy !req
431. Neil, what's going on?
Neil, get over here!Copy !req
432. Put that down!
Protect it.Copy !req
433. Don't worry, I've got it.
I'll be right there.Copy !req
434. The primary inducer
is completely fused.Copy !req
435. There's no way to fix it.
Without the diverter,Copy !req
436. we don't have any protection
from the baryon sweep.Copy !req
437. I know that.
How long before the
baryon sweep gets here?Copy !req
438. About 12 minutes.Copy !req
439. We should go
to Ten-Forward.Copy !req
440. That's the last place
on the shipCopy !req
441. that'll be swept
by the baryon field.Copy !req
442. All right.
We're leaving.Copy !req
443. But we're taking
the trilithium with us.Copy !req
444. What?Copy !req
445. Do you know how
volatile trilithium is?Copy !req
446. We can't just start hauling
it through the ship.Copy !req
447. I'll... I'll try to
make some modifications.Copy !req
448. Satler's dead.Copy !req
449. He ran into
the baryon sweep.Copy !req
450. What about Mot?Copy !req
451. I don't know, but I
don't think he's a barber.Copy !req
452. I found this
in the Jefferies tube.Copy !req
453. Kelsey to Kiros.Copy !req
454. This is Kiros.Copy !req
455. We have a problem.Copy !req
456. There's a Starfleet
officer still aboard.Copy !req
457. He's killed Satler
and he may have
killed Devor.Copy !req
458. He also destroyed the
diverter in engineering,Copy !req
459. so we have to leave here
before the baryon sweep
enters this section.Copy !req
460. What about
the trilithium resin?Copy !req
461. We're taking it with us
to Ten-Forward.Copy !req
462. There should be
enough time before...Copy !req
463. Kelsey, don't be a fool.Copy !req
464. You know better than to try
to move trilithium resin.Copy !req
465. Mr. Mot, or should I
call you "Lieutenant"?Copy !req
466. "Lieutenant Commander,"
perhaps?Copy !req
467. You can call me
whatever you wish,Copy !req
468. but moving trilithium
resin requires very
specific equipment.Copy !req
469. You can't just
improvise something.Copy !req
470. I wouldn't need
to improviseCopy !req
471. if you hadn't damaged
our field diverter.Copy !req
472. But if you're so concerned
about the trilithium,Copy !req
473. I suggest you stop
interfering with us before
you set off an explosionCopy !req
474. that would destroy
the Enterprise and you.Copy !req
475. I would rather
destroy the ship
than allow that resinCopy !req
476. to fall into the hands
of terrorists.Copy !req
477. What makes you think
I'm a terrorist?Copy !req
478. Trilithium resin is a
highly toxic waste product
produced by our engines.Copy !req
479. It's only possible use
could be as a weapon.Copy !req
480. You might be right,
Mr. Mot,Copy !req
481. but we've been planning
for this for a long time,Copy !req
482. and I doubt you'll really
be able to stop us...Copy !req
483. or even slow us down.Copy !req
484. There.Copy !req
485. 300 milligrams
of trilithium.Copy !req
486. I'm, uh, using
a dynamic stabilizer
to act as a control rod.Copy !req
487. There.Copy !req
488. That should keep
the resin stable
enough for transport.Copy !req
489. Come on!Copy !req
490. Don't be so tense, Neil.Copy !req
491. Listen, if something
goes wrong,Copy !req
492. you won't have time
to worry about it.Copy !req
493. Let's go.Copy !req
494. Three more decks.Copy !req
495. Then we take
corridor 15-B all
the way to Ten-Forward.Copy !req
496. What's wrong?Copy !req
497. We have to find
another way up.Copy !req
498. The rungs are cut.Copy !req
499. That wasn't very
clever, Mr. Mot.Copy !req
500. If you knew where
we were, you should
have attacked us.Copy !req
501. Now we'll just take
another route—Copy !req
502. one you might not
be able to predict.Copy !req
503. There are only so many
ways to Ten-Forward.Copy !req
504. Ten-forward is the
logical place to beCopy !req
505. if you want to stay ahead
of the baryon sweep.Copy !req
506. That sweep is just
as big a threat to you
as it is to us.Copy !req
507. In fact, if I
were you, Mr. Mot,Copy !req
508. I'd be trying to find
another way off this ship.Copy !req
509. I plan on leaving
the same way you do—
on your ship.Copy !req
510. What ship?
Come on, Kelsey.Copy !req
511. If you've been
planning this so long,
you must have a wayCopy !req
512. of getting off
the Enterprise and
leaving this system.Copy !req
513. I think you have
a ship coming for you.Copy !req
514. I plan to be on it.Copy !req
515. It's a small ship, Mot.Copy !req
516. I don't think there's
going to be room
for both of us.Copy !req
517. I'm sorry to hear that.Copy !req
518. I'll send your regrets.Copy !req
519. How is he, Doctor?Copy !req
520. He's in a lot of
pain, but I think
he should be fine.Copy !req
521. He needs some water.
Is that all right?Copy !req
522. We're almost ready.Copy !req
523. When we set the
visor to emit the
hypersonic pulse,Copy !req
524. there'll be a
short burst of light.Copy !req
525. We need a distraction.Copy !req
526. They need a distraction.Copy !req
527. How long?Copy !req
528. Just a few seconds.Copy !req
529. I think I can distract
Orton for a few seconds.Copy !req
530. I don't think Orton's
in a talking mood, Will.Copy !req
531. You just have to know
how to talk to him.Copy !req
532. Orton, I think we need
to discuss this situation.Copy !req
533. There is nothing
to discuss.Copy !req
534. Sit down.Copy !req
535. There is a lot
to discuss.Copy !req
536. Can't we be reasonable?Copy !req
537. I am not interested
in hearingCopy !req
538. your hostage negotiation
tactics, Commander.Copy !req
539. Well, it can't hurt you
to listen, can it?Copy !req
540. All right.
Thank you.Copy !req
541. Now, the first thing
I think we need to
discuss is this.Copy !req
542. Hold it.Copy !req
543. Put your weapon down.Copy !req
544. Kelsey, this is Kiros.Copy !req
545. I'm on deck ten.
I have Mot.Copy !req
546. Is he alive?
Yes.Copy !req
547. Good. Meet us
at intersection 41.Copy !req
548. Understood.Copy !req
549. This way.Copy !req
550. Give me the trilithium.Copy !req
551. How much farther
do we have to go?Copy !req
552. Not far.Copy !req
553. With all the modifications
you've made to this unit,Copy !req
554. are we going to have
any problems removing
the trilithium?Copy !req
555. No. Just remove
the control rod.Copy !req
556. Drain the unit.Copy !req
557. There shouldn't
be any problem.Copy !req
558. That's all
I wanted to know.Copy !req
559. Well, not as clever
as you thought.Copy !req
560. Where's Pomet?Copy !req
561. He shot him with
some kind of an arrow.Copy !req
562. He's not dead.
Well, he will be soon.Copy !req
563. The sweep's nearly here,
and we don't have time
to go back for him.Copy !req
564. What about Neil?Copy !req
565. The sweep got him.Copy !req
566. Let's go.Copy !req
567. I thought you were just
going to talk to him.Copy !req
568. I did. He just didn't
like what I had to say.Copy !req
569. Mm.Copy !req
570. That was a perimeter
warning from the
Remmler Array.Copy !req
571. A small ship
is approaching.Copy !req
572. I believe Mr. Orton
has dropped his
defense shields.Copy !req
573. This must be the sign
they were waiting for.Copy !req
574. Mr. Data, you will be
the only one unaffected
by the hypersonic burst.Copy !req
575. As soon as everyone
else is unconscious,Copy !req
576. I need you to get to
that computer panel and
stop that ship somehow.Copy !req
577. I will try, sir.Copy !req
578. Now.Copy !req
579. Kelsey, perhaps we
can work out a deal.Copy !req
580. You're the only one
who needs a deal, Mot.Copy !req
581. My name isn't Mot.
It's Jean-Luc Picard.Copy !req
582. Captain Picard.
This is all beginning
to make sense.Copy !req
583. Leave the trilithium here
and take me with you.Copy !req
584. You can use me as
a hostage instead
of threatening...Copy !req
585. I am not a
terrorist, Captain,Copy !req
586. nor do I have
a political agenda,Copy !req
587. although I know
some people who
do have agendas,Copy !req
588. and they are very
interested in this
little container.Copy !req
589. Profit. This is
all about profit.Copy !req
590. I prefer to think
of it as commerce.Copy !req
591. Open the door.Copy !req
592. Now go through...
slowly.Copy !req
593. Well, Picard, I guessCopy !req
594. I'll be the one to
send your regrets.Copy !req
595. Picard to Arkaria Base.Copy !req
596. Deactivate
the baryon sweep.Copy !req
597. Arkaria Base,
this is Captain Picard
on board the Enterprise.Copy !req
598. Deactivate
the baryon sweep.Copy !req
599. Arkaria Base,
this is Captain Picard.Copy !req
600. Deactivate the baryon
sweep immediately!Copy !req
601. Data to Captain Picard.
Do you read me, sir?Copy !req
602. Picard here.Copy !req
603. Are you all right,
Captain?Copy !req
604. Yes, Mr. Data.Copy !req
605. Sir, an unidentified
scout shipCopy !req
606. has just beamed someone
off the Enterprise.Copy !req
607. Do you know
anything about it?Copy !req
608. I know they won't
get very far.Copy !req
609. Hold still.
You have a nasty
little cut here.Copy !req
610. Any luck?Copy !req
611. I'm sorry, Captain.Copy !req
612. I don't know what could
have happened to it.Copy !req
613. Hold still. I can't
heal this cleanlyCopy !req
614. if you don't
stop fidgeting.Copy !req
615. I've had three security
teams search deck seven.Copy !req
616. They couldn't find
anything.Copy !req
617. There.Copy !req
618. I found it.Copy !req
619. Someone put it in
a maintenance locker.Copy !req
620. Thank you.Copy !req
621. Captain, you keep
a saddle on board?Copy !req
622. Mr. Worf, I'm
surprised at you.Copy !req
623. Anyone who is
an experienced riderCopy !req
624. naturally has
his own saddle.Copy !req
625. It's perfectly normal.Copy !req
626. Actually,
it came in handy.Copy !req
627. I only wish I had
had the opportunity
to use it on a horse.Copy !req
628. Of course.Copy !req
