the Bre'el satellite, Captain. 781 00:24:58,864 --> 00:25:00,000 It seems you have an advocate, Q. 782 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,132 It seems you have an advocate, Q. 783 00:25:01,199 --> 00:25:04,236 I am merely stating the fact, Counselor. 784 00:25:05,670 --> 00:25:06,000 Mr. La Forge, your status? 785 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,606 Mr. La Forge, your status? 786 00:25:07,672 --> 00:25:09,608 I've been putting together a program 787 00:25:09,674 --> 00:25:12,000 to extend the forward lobe of the warp field. 788 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:12,177 to extend the forward lobe of the warp field. 789 00:25:12,244 --> 00:25:14,779 The field coils aren't designed to envelope such a large volume 790 00:25:14,846 --> 00:25:17,115 but I'm attempting to modify their alignment parameters. 791 00:25:17,182 --> 00:25:18,000 DATA: Maintaining field integrity will be difficult, Geordi. 792 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,851 DATA: Maintaining field integrity will be difficult, Geordi. 793 00:25:19,918 --> 00:25:22,187 Well, I'm pretty sure that we can do it manually. 794 00:25:22,254 --> 00:25:24,000 The moon will come to its perigee in 14 minutes. 795 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,757 The moon will come to its perigee in 14 minutes. 796 00:25:25,824 --> 00:25:29,027 Mr. Data, you will escort Q to Engineering. 797 00:25:29,094 --> 00:25:30,000 You will assist Mr. La Forge. 798 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:30,962 You will assist Mr. La Forge. 799 00:25:31,029 --> 00:25:34,633 Mr. Worf, hail the Bre'el IV science station. 800 00:25:34,699 --> 00:25:35,700 Aye, sir. 801 00:25:38,870 --> 00:25:42,000 Picard thinks I can't cut it on his starship. 802 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:42,007 Picard thinks I can't cut it on his starship. 803 00:25:42,073 --> 00:25:43,108 I can do anything 804 00:25:43,174 --> 00:25:45,110 his little trained minions can do. 805 00:25:45,176 --> 00:25:48,000 I do not perceive your skills to be in doubt, Q. 806 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:48,179 I do not perceive your skills to be in doubt, Q. 807 00:25:48,246 --> 00:25:51,149 The Captain is merely concerned with your ability 808 00:25:51,216 --> 00:25:54,000 to successfully interact with "his little trained minions." 809 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:54,753 to successfully interact with "his little trained minions." 810 00:25:54,819 --> 00:25:57,756 Human interpersonal relationships are more complex. 811 00:25:57,822 --> 00:26:00,000 Your experience may not have adequately prepared you. 812 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,059 Your experience may not have adequately prepared you. 813 00:26:01,126 --> 00:26:04,663 I'm not interested in human interpersonal relationships. 814 00:26:04,729 --> 00:26:06,000 I just want to prove to Picard that I'm indispensable. 815 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,198 I just want to prove to Picard that I'm indispensable. 816 00:26:09,901 --> 00:26:12,000 Engineering. 817 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:12,003 Engineering. 818 00:26:12,070 --> 00:26:15,774 To function aboard a starship, or in any human activity 819 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,000 you must learn to form relationships. 820 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:18,143 you must learn to form relationships. 821 00:26:18,209 --> 00:26:20,178 ( sighing ): It's so hard. 822 00:26:20,245 --> 00:26:22,213 And of more immediate importance 823 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,000 is your ability to work within groups. 824 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,016 is your ability to work within groups. 825 00:26:25,083 --> 00:26:26,184 I'm not good in groups. 826 00:26:26,251 --> 00:26:28,153 It's difficult to work in a group 827 00:26:28,219 --> 00:26:29,821 when you're omnipotent. 828 00:26:32,223 --> 00:26:35,026 The tides reached 10 meters on the last orbit. 829 00:26:35,093 --> 00:26:36,000 They are already beginning to swell again. 830 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,629 They are already beginning to swell again. 831 00:26:37,696 --> 00:26:41,032 We have a lot of frightened people down here, Captain. 832 00:26:41,099 --> 00:26:42,000 Your moon has begun moving towards its perigee. 833 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,802 Your moon has begun moving towards its perigee. 834 00:26:43,868 --> 00:26:46,004 We're preparing to make our attempt. 835 00:26:46,071 --> 00:26:48,000 Our population has already taken shelter 836 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:48,740 Our population has already taken shelter 837 00:26:48,807 --> 00:26:52,911 but I'm afraid no shelter will be adequate if you fail 838 00:26:52,978 --> 00:26:54,000 especially for the people on the western continent. 839 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,281 especially for the people on the western continent. 840 00:26:56,348 --> 00:26:58,216 Whatever the results 841 00:26:58,283 --> 00:27:00,000 we know you've done your best, Picard. 842 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,053 we know you've done your
