TIME, MR. DATA?
WE WILL ARRIVE WITHIN TRANSPORTER RANGE
IN THREE MINUTES, 21 SECONDS.
I'VE FINALLY ESTABLISHED AUDIO CONTACT
WITH THE ROMULAN SHIP.
Romulan: Our main power is failing.
There is no way to stop the overload.
ENTERPRISE TO ROMULAN VESSEL.
WE ARE EN ROUTE TO YOUR POSITION.
Enterprise, what is your time of arrival?
We face an imminent core breach...
REPEAT YOUR LAST TRANSMISSION.
SORRY, CAPTAIN.
THEY'VE STOPPED TRANSMITTING.
PICARD TO RIKER.
RIKER HERE.
Picard: Transport to Romulan ship when in range.
NO WEAPONS.
WE DON'T WANT THEM TO THINK
THEY'RE UNDER ATTACK.
THIS IS NOT A BRIGHT IDEA.
I BEG YOUR PARDON, ENSIGN?
I DIDN'T QUITE CATCH THAT.
NOTHING, SIR.
[ inaudible chatter ]
WE'RE FROM THE FEDERATION STARSHIP ENTERPRISE.
WE RECEIVED YOUR DISTRESS CALL.
THE ENTERPRISE? Riker: THAT'S RIGHT.
YOUR MESSAGE SAID YOU HAD SUFFERED A FAILURE
IN YOUR ENGINE CORE.
Romulan: YES WE HAD A FORCED CHAMBER EXPLOSION IN THE RESONATOR COIL.
IT'S A STRANGE SETUP
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE
THE GRAVITON FIELD GENERATOR'S BEEN COMPLETELY DEPOLARIZED.
THERE'S NO WAY TO FIX IT.
IT WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED.
WHERE ARE YOUR REPLICATORS?
THEY'RE OFF-LINE.
WHO'S IN CHARGE HERE?
THE CAPTAIN IS DEAD.
I'M SCIENCE OFFICER MIROK.
WE'RE MOVING THIS GENERATOR
TO THE ENTERPRISE FOR REPLICATION.
ALL RIGHT.
GEORDI, YOU AND RO.
LA FORGE TO BROSSMER.
TWO PEOPLE AND ONE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT TO BEAM ABOARD.
AYE, SIR.
WHAT THE HELL..?
ENGINEERING, I NEED MORE POWER
TO THE PRIMARY ENERGIZING COIL.
BROSSMER TO COMMANDER RIKER.
I'M LOSING THEM I HAVE TO ABORT.
They should be returning to your coordinates.
CHIEF, DO YOU HAVE THEM?
THEY'RE NOT HERE.
Brossmer: No, sir.
WHERE ARE THEY?
I CAN'T LOCATE THEIR PATTERNS.
We've lost them, sir.
SPACE, THE FINAL FRONTIER.
THESE ARE THE VOYAGES OF THE STARSHIP ENTERPRISE.
ITS CONTINUING MISSION--
TO EXPLORE STRANGE NEW WORLDS
TO SEEK OUT NEW LIFE AND NEW CIVILIZATIONS
TO BOLDLY GO WHERE NO ONE HAS GONE BEFORE.
Brossmer: I've done all I can, sir.
I'm afraid they're gone.
MR. DATA, RUN A LEVEL-ONE DIAGNOSTIC.
ALL TRANSPORTER SYSTEMS OFF-LINE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
COULD THEY HAVE MATERIALIZED SOMEWHERE ELSE?
NEGATIVE, CAPTAIN.
CENSORS CAN'T LOCATE THEM
ANYWHERE WITHIN TRANSPORTER RANGE.
COUNSELOR?
Riker to Enterprise.
GO AHEAD, NUMBER ONE.
WE'RE LOOKING AT A CORE BREACH
UNLESS WE CAN FASHION A GENERATOR.
I need replacement personnel.
CONTINUE THE DIAGNOSTIC OF THE TRANSPORTER SYSTEMS
AT ANOTHER TIME.
TAKE A SHUTTLECRAFT AND TWO MORE ENGINEERS
TO THE ROMULAN SHIP.
MR. McDOWELL, ALERT THE SHUTTLE BAY
TO HAVE ALL AVAILABLE SHIPS AND PILOTS STANDING BY
IN CASE WE NEED THEM.
ENSIGN, LAY IN A COURSE AWAY FROM THE ROMULAN VESSEL.
ENGAGE AT WARP ONE
IF YOU DETECT ANY SIGN IT'S GOING TO EXPLODE.
THE PRESSURE IN THE CONTAINMENT CHAMBER
HAS INCREASED 15 MELAKOLS IN THE LAST TWO MINUTES.
HOW CAN WE STOP THE OVERLOAD?
MOST OF THE CONDUITS WERE DAMAGED
DURING THE EXPLOSION.
I CAN'T EVEN ACCESS THE CENTRAL COMPUTER.
COMMANDER...
EMERGENCY BULKHEADS HAVE SEALED THIS SECTION OFF.
FROM THE REST OF THE SHIP
THERE IS NO WAY TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE MAIN BRIDGE
OR CONTROL CENTERS.
SURVIVORS?
READINGS INDICATE AT LEAST 73 ROMULANS ARE STILL ALIVE.
SEVENTY-THREE.
( alarm sounding )
THE PRESSURE HAS JUMPED 200 MELAKOLS!
I'VE LOST CONTROL OF THE CONTAINMENT CHAMBER.
IT'S GOING TO IMPLODE.
WE NEED TO DUMP THE ENTIRE ENGINE CORE.
DO YOU HAVE AN AUTO-EJECT SYSTEM?
YES, BUT IT'S NOT FUNCTIONING.
I'LL HAVE TO DO IT MANUALLY.
Riker: MR. WORF, YOU TWO SEAL THE CHAMBERS.
IMPLOSION WILL OCCUR
IN ONE MINUTE, FIVE SECONDS.
ENTERPRISE, WE NEED TO JETTISON THE CORE.
EXTEND THE SHIELDS ONCE IT CLEARS THE HULL.
Understood.
We'll stand by for your signal.
WE MUST GET THE DOORS CLOSED.
( grunting )
COMMANDER!
TIME?
30 SECONDS.
( grunting )
Mirok: READY, COMMANDER!
STAY THERE!
EJECT THE CHAMBER ON MY ORDER!
EXCUSE ME, SIR.
Mirok: IMPLOSION IN FIVE SECONDS.
NOW.
ENTERPRISE, EXTEND SHIELDS!
WELL...
WE'RE STILL HERE.
YES.
Riker: We'll have a complete power survey done within the hour.
We'll have to supply energy for life-support
and a new engine core to get home.
UNDERSTOOD, COMMANDER.
KEEP ME INFORMED.
I'LL BE IN SICK BAY.
AYE, SIR.
ENSIGN RO TO THE BRIDGE.
THIS IS ENSIGN RO REPORTING IN.
I'M AT... SECTION 23 BAKER, NEAR SICK BAY.
SICK BAY.
EXCUSE ME, I NEED SOME... HELP.
EXCUSE ME.
UM, EXCUSE ME, I NEED SOME HELP.
I...
EXCUSE ME, I NEED SOME HELP.
Beverly: WE SHOULDN'T MAKE HASTY DECISIONS.
THE TRANSPORTER COULD HAVE BEAMED THEM SOMEWHERE ELSE--
THE ROMULAN SHIP
ANOTHER DECK OF THE ENTERPRISE.
Picard: WE'VE CHECKED ALL OF THOSE POSSIBILITIES.
THE INITIAL FINDINGS WOULD SEEM TO INDICATE
THAT THERE WAS A RADIATION SURGE
FROM THE ROMULAN ENGINE CORE
WHICH DISRUPTED THE SIGNAL.
THEY NEVER REMATERIALIZED.
WE SHOULD CHECK AGAIN.
THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING...
BEVERLY, WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
I JUST HATE MAKING OUT DEATH CERTIFICATES.
DOES ENSIGN RO HAVE ANY FAMILY?
CAPTAIN, I'M RIGHT HERE.
NONE THAT I KNOW OF.
I'LL CHECK WITH THE BAJORAN LIAISON OFFICE.
I'M NOT DEAD!
I'LL HAVE THE OFFICIAL REPORTS
READY WITHIN THE HOUR.
CAPTAIN, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S GOING ON.
( gasps )
DOCTOR?
DR. CRUSHER?
DR. CRUSHER, I'M RIGHT HERE.
DAMN IT, DOC...
WE'RE READY, COMMANDER.
RIKER TO ENTERPRISE.
BEGIN POWER TRANSFER.
POWER FLOW IS CONSISTENT AT 400 KOLEMS.
NO FLUCTUATIONS IN FREQUENCY.
THE MAIN POWER GRID IS ON-LINE.
Picard to Riker.
RIKER HERE.
POWER TRANSFER APPEARS STABLE ON THIS END.
WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THE ENGINE REPLACEMENT?
Engineering is modifying a subspace resonator
to act as an engine core.
It won't do more than warp two, but it will get them home.
VERY GOOD.
THE DIAGNOSTIC OF THE TRANSPORTER
SHOWS AN ENERGY FLUCTUATION.
I NEED TO INSPECT THE IMAGING SCANNER
IN TRANSPORTER ROOM THREE.
BY ALL MEANS.
CAPTAIN...
I HAVE A PERSONAL FAVOR TO ASK.
I CONSIDERED COMMANDER LA FORGE TO BE MY BEST FRIEND.
I BELIEVE IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY
TO PLAN AND CONDUCT THE MEMORIAL SERVICE.
MAY I HAVE YOUR PERMISSION TO DO SO?
PERMISSION GRANTED.
MAKE WHATEVER ARRANGEMENTS YOU THINK APPROPRIATE.
THANK YOU, SIR.
COMMANDER, THE...
THE ROMULANS WANT A COMPUTER.
WE CANNOT GIVE THEM ACCESS TO FEDERATION TECHNOLOGY.
THAT IS AN UNACCEPTABLE SECURITY RISK.
WHAT ABOUT A COMPUTER CORE FROM 30 OR 40 YEARS AGO?
ONE THE ROMULANS ARE ALREADY FAMILIAR WITH.
THAT WOULD BE SATISFACTORY.
CHECK WITH THE ENTERPRISE.
SEE WHAT'S AVAILABLE.
BE SURE YOUR CONCERNS ARE ADDRESSED
BEFORE WE INSTALL IT.
AYE, SIR.
THANK YOU.
Ro: LA FORGE?
RO.
BOY, AM I GLAD TO SEE YOU.
AND I'M REALLY GLAD
THAT YOU CAN SEE ME.
IT'S LIKE...
IT'S LIKE I'M HERE, BUT I'M NOT HERE.
NO ONE CAN SEE ME EITHER.
I CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT.
ONE MINUTE WE WERE TRANSPORTING FROM THE ROMULAN VESSEL
AND THE NEXT
I WAKE UP IN THE ARBORETUM
WITH A SPLITTING HEADACHE.
CAN YOU PASS THROUGH THINGS LIKE BULKHEADS?
TABLES, PEOPLE... YEAH.
WELL, WE'RE SOLID ENOUGH TO EACH OTHER.
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU EXPECTED, IS IT?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
THIS.
DEATH.
WHAT?
WE'RE DEAD, GEORDI.
IS THAT SOME KIND OF JOKE?
OUR PATTERNS WERE LOST IN A TRANSPORTER MALFUNCTION.
WE NEVER REMATERIALIZED AFTER LEAVING THE ROMULAN SHIP.
WAIT A MINUTE.
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING--
THAT WE'RE SOME SORT OF SPIRITS?
SPIRITS, SOULS...
MY PEOPLE USED TO CALL THEM "BORHYAS."
WHATEVER TERM YOU USE, WE'RE IT.
BUT MY UNIFORM, MY VISOR.
ARE YOU SAYING I'M A BLIND GHOST WITH CLOTHES?
I DON'T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS IV'E NEVER BEEN DEAD BEFORE.
WE ARE NOT DEAD.
ACCORDING TO DR. CRUSHER
WE DIED IN A TRANSPORTER MALFUNCTION
AT 1430 HOURS.
GEORDI, I SAW HER MAKE OUT THE DEATH CERTIFICATES.
WE NEED TO MAKE PEACE WITH OUR FORMER LIVES.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS TAUGHT.
WE HAVE TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO THE PEOPLE
WHO ARE IN OUR LIVES.
YOU MAY BE READY FOR THE AFTERLIFE
BUT I'M NOT.
I DON'T SEE THAT WE HAVE
MUCH OF A CHOICE.
WHEN I WAS GROWING UP
I NEVER GAVE MUCH THOUGHT TO BORHYAS.
I FIGURED IT WAS JUST SUPERSTITION...
FINE, YOU GO MAKE PEACE WITH YOURSELF.
I'M GOING TO TRANSPORTER ROOM THREE
AND FIGURE A WAY OUT OF THIS SITUATION.
I DIDN'T HAVE ANY WARNING
THAT SOMETHING WOULD GO WRONG, SIR.
SUDDENLY, THEIR PATTERNS JUST WEREN'T THERE.
I BELIEVE THE ACCIDENT
MAY BE RELATED TO THE EXPLOSION ON THE ROMULAN SHIP.
REALLY?
BUT THAT HAPPENED
BEFORE WE ARRIVED.
IN ALL LIKELIHOOD, THE EXPLOSION
DAMAGED THE ROMULAN CLOAKING DEVICE
CAUSING IT TO DISCHARGE CHRONITON PARTICLES.
I AM DETECTING A CHRONITON FIELD HERE.
CHRONITON FIELD?
IF THE PARTICLES WERE PRODUCED ON THE ROMULAN SHIP
WHY ARE YOU DETECTING THEM HERE?
THE TRANSPORTER BEAM...
I SUSPECT THEY TRAVELED THROUGH THE TRANSPORTER BEAM.
THAT MAY HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE OF GEORDI AND RO'S DEATH
I WILL GO TO THE ROMULAN SHIP.
PERHAPS I CAN DISCOVER THE SOURCE OF THE EMISSIONS.
COMMANDER, ARE THESE CHRONITONS DANGEROUS?
THEY POSE NO DANGER TO HUMANS.
HOWEVER, THE SHIP'S SYSTEMS MAY HAVE BEEN AFFECTED.
WHEN I RETURN I WILL DEVISE A METHOD TO ERADICATE THEM.
LA FORGE TO ENSIGN...
THANKS FOR THE RIDE.
I'M HERE TO SAY GOOD-BYE.
THERE WERE A LOT OF WHAT APPEARED TO BE
EXPERIMENTAL ENGINE COMPONENTS LYING AROUND.
I'D SAY THEY WERE TESTING A NEW WARP DRIVE AND IT BLEW UP.
Picard: THAT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY THEY'RE SO FAR FROM ROMULAN SPACE--
TO AVOID BEING PICKED UP BY FEDERATION SCANS.
WE SHOULD HAVE AN ENGINE CORE READY BY 1900.
THERE WILL BE A MEMORIAL SERVICE
AT 2300 HOURS.
MR. DATA IS MAKING THE ARRANGEMENTS.
I'LL BE THERE.
ME TOO.
I'D LIKE TO SAY A FEW WORDS.
YOU KNEW LA FORGE
LONGER THAN ANY OF US.
ACTUALLY, I WAS THINKING ABOUT ENSIGN RO.
ME?
COORDINATE WITH MR. DATA.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO SAY ABOUT ME?
CAPTAIN...
I DON'T BELIEVE THIS.
I'M DEAD.
YOU CAN'T EVEN HEAR ME
AND I'M STILL INTIMIDATED BY YOU.
I JUST... WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU
FOR TRUSTING IN ME WHEN NO ONE ELSE WOULD.
HEY, THERE YOU ARE.
EXCUSE ME, CAPTAIN.
LISTEN, DATA'S TAKING
THE NEXT SHUTTLE TO THE ROMULAN VESSEL.
WE NEED TO BE ON IT.
WHY?
I THINK THE ANSWERS TO WHAT HAPPENED TO US ARE THERE.
WHY CAN'T YOU ACCEPT..?
IF YOU'RE RIGHT, THEN WE'RE DEAD
AND THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE
BUT IF I'M RIGHT, THEN WE'RE STILL ALIVE
AND I'M GUNNA NEED YOUR HELP.
LIEUTENANT, I AM PLANNING A MEMORIAL SERVICE
FOR COMMANDER LA FORGE AND ENSIGN RO.
I WOULD LIKE YOU TO PARTICIPATE.
WHAT KIND OF SERVICE?
CAPTAIN PICARD ASKED ME
TO ARRANGE A CEREMONY THAT WAS APPROPRIATE.
I HAVE GIVEN A GREAT DEAL OF THOUGHT
TO WHAT IS APPROPRIATE.
SIR, SHUTTLECRAFT FOUR
HAS NOT CLEARED THE ROMULAN SHIP.
HOLD POSITION HERE.
THIS IS WEIRD
LISTENING TO THEM PLAN OUR FUNERAL.
I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY
DECIDING WHAT KIND OF SERVICE TO HAVE.
DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS?
HUMAN CUSTOM IS TO CONDUCT A SOLEMN, DIGNIFIED SERVICE
IN WHICH THE DEAD ARE PRAISED BY THEIR FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES.
RO WAS A BAJORAN.
HER BELIEFS SHOULD BE REFLECTED AS WELL.
HOWEVER, THEIR DEATH RITUALS ARE QUITE COMPLICATED.
OH, PLEASE, NOT THE DEATH CHANT.
THE DEATH CHANT IS OVER TWO HOURS LONG.
I AM NOT CERTAIN
THAT EITHER HUMAN OR BAJORAN RIGHTS ARE FITTING.
I HAVE RESEARCHED THE CUSTOMS
OF OVER 5,000 CULTURES TO NO AVAIL.
SHUTTLECRAFT FOUR HAS JUST CLEARED.
RESUME COURSE.
IN ALMOST ALL SOCIETIES
IT IS TRADITIONAL TO SAY A RITUAL FAREWELL
TO THOSE YOU CALL FRIENDS.
I NEVER KNEW WHAT A FRIEND WAS UNTIL I MET GEORDI.
HE SPOKE TO ME AS THOUGH I WERE HUMAN.
HE TREATED ME NO DIFFERENTLY FROM ANYONE ELSE.
HE ACCEPTED ME FOR WHAT I AM
AND THAT, I HAVE LEARNED, IS FRIENDSHIP.
BUT I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO SAY GOOD-BYE.
SEEMS ALMOST HUMAN, DOESN'T HE?
COMMANDER, I AM NOT THE PROPER PERSON TO ADVISE YOU.
WHY?
I AM VERY HAPPY FOR COMMANDER LA FORGE.
HE HAS CROSSED OVER
TO THAT WHICH IS BEYOND.
FOR A KLINGON, THIS IS A JOYFUL TIME.
A FRIEND HAS DIED IN THE LINE OF DUTY
AND HE HAS EARNED A PLACE AMONG THE HONORED DEAD.
IT IS NOT A TIME TO MOURN.
BEGIN DOCKING PROCEDURE.
DATA, THAT'S A NICE SENTIMENT
BUT A LITTLE PREMATURE.
I DON'T PLAN ON BEING COMMEMORATED BEFORE MY TIME.
Mirok: I'M AFRAID I FAIL TO SEE THE POINT
OF THIS INVESTIGATION, COMMANDER.
CHRONITON EMISSIONS MAY HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE ACCIDENT WHICH CLAIMED THE LIVES OF OUR OFFICERS.
A MOST REGRETTABLE EVENT, OF COURSE.
WAS YOUR CLOAKING DEVICE DAMAGED
IN THE EXPLOSION?
ALL SYSTEMS WERE DAMAGED, INCLUDING THE CLOAKING DEVICE.
THAT EXPLAINS THE CHRONITON FIELDS I AM DETECTING HERE NOW.
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY
IT IS IMPORTANT TO ELIMINATE THOSE EMISSIONS.
OUR SAFETY?
THERE IS NO WAY TO PREDICT
WHAT WILL HAPPEN
WHEN THE CHRONITONS INTERACT WITH THE NEW ENGINE CORE.
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS.
THERE'S SOMETHING IN THERE
THAT LOOKS LIKE A MOLECULAR PHASE INVERTOR.
WHAT'S THAT?
IT'S SUPPOSED TO CHANGE THE STRUCTURE OF MATTER
SO IT CAN PASS THROUGH NORMAL MATTER.
A FEW YEARS BACK, WE GOT REPORTS
THAT THE KLINGONS WERE WORKING
ON COMBINING A PHASE INVERTOR AND A CLOAKING DEVICE.
THEY BELIEVED THAT A PHASED SHIP
COULD HIDE ANYWHERE, EVEN INSIDE A PLANET
AND THAT WEAPONS WOULD BE USELESS AGAINST IT.
HOW FAR DID THEY GET IN THEIR RESEARCH?
IT NEVER GOT OUT
OF THE PRELIMINARY STAGES
BUT THE ROMULANS MIGHT BE PURSUING THAT SAME TECHNOLOGY.
IF THIS IS THE PROTOTYPE...
THEN THAT WOULD EXPLAIN THE EXPLOSION.
AND US.
WE'RE CLOAKED?
NOT JUST CLOAKED-- PHASED.
OUR MOLECULAR STRUCTURE
ALTERED SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY SUBSTANCE.
THAT WOULD MEAN WE'RE NOT DEAD.
YES. IT WOULD ALSO MEAN
THAT THERE'S PROBABLY A WAY TO DE-PHASE US.
FIELD EMISSIONS ARE PARTICULARLY STRONG IN THIS AREA.
YOU CAN BE ASSURED THE EMISSIONS WILL BE ELIMINATED
BEFORE THE ENGINE CORE IS REPLACED.
Worf: COMMANDER, MAY I SPEAK WITH YOU?
THEY'RE GOING TO DISCOVER THE INTERPHASE GENERATOR.
IS THEIR POWER BEAM AT FULL INTENSITY?
YES. IT WILL BE
UNTIL WE SWITCH TO INTERNAL POWER.
SET UP A MUON FEEDBACK WAVE INSIDE THE TRANSFER BEAM.
THE PARTICLES WILL ACCUMULATE IN THEIR DILITHIUM CHAMBER.
WHEN THEY GO TO WARP SPEED, THEIR ENGINES WILL EXPLODE.
WE'VE GOT TO WARN THE ENTERPRISE.
HOW?
I DON'T KNOW, BUT WE HAVE TO FIND A WAY.
COME ON.
THE MUON FEEDBACK WAVE'S NOT SHOWING UP
ON ANY ENGINE DISPLAYS.
THE ROMULANS MUST BE HIDING IT.
UNLESS SOMEONE RUNS A LEVEL THREE DIAGNOSTIC
THEY'D NEVER SEE IT.
WE HAVE TO WARN THEM
BEFORE THE SHIP GOES INTO WARP.
THIS IS PUZZLING.
THREE MORE CHRONITON FIELDS
HAVE FORMED ABOARD THE ENTERPRISE.
THERE'S NO REASON WHY THE INTERPHASE DEVICE
WOULD BE PRODUCING NEW FIELDS ONBOARD THIS SHIP.
WE SHOULD BEGIN DECONTAMINATION IMMEDIATELY.
RUN AN INTERNAL SENSOR SWEEP
FOR THE LOCATIONS OF ALL CHRONITON FIELDS
ON THE ENTERPRISE.
THE FOLLOWING AREAS ARE SHOWING CONTAMINATION.
SICK BAY, TRANSPORTER ROOM THREE
MAIN BRIDGE, CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM
SHUTTLEBAY TWO
AND MAIN ENGINEERING.
RO, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND
HOW THESE NEW FIELDS HAVE FORMED.
NO TRANSPORTER BEAM HAS BEEN ACTIVE.
THEY HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON.
OH, YES THEY DO.
THEY'RE APPEARING AT RANDOM.
NO, THEY'RE NOT!
WE WERE IN THOSE LOCATIONS.
WE'RE LEAVING CHRONITON FOOTPRINTS BEHIND.
CAN YOU PINPOINT THE LOCATIONS?
NOT WITH THE INTERNAL SENSORS.
GO TO SCIENCE STATION TWO.
USE A LATERAL SENSOR ARRAY FOR A PRECISE READING.
I WILL MODIFY AN ANYON EMITTER
TO ELIMINATE THE ISOLATED FIELDS.
GO WITH HER.
I'M GOING TO STAY HERE WITH DATA.
RIGHT.
WELL, THAT'S INTERESTING.
YOU'RE READING CHRONITON FIELDS IN HERE
BUT NOT FROM ME?
THERE'S A FIELD IN THIS WALL?
WHY?
DATA, I CAME THROUGH THIS WALL.
I WALKED RIGHT THROUGH IT WHEN I CAME IN HERE.
WHEN THE PHASE MATTER IN MY BODY
PASSED THROUGH THE WALL
IT MUST HAVE DISRUPTED THE WALL'S MOLECULAR STRUCTURE
PRODUCING A CHRONITON FIELD.
DATA, I'M RIGHT HERE.
THAT'S ME YOU'RE READING.
WATCH.
COME ON.
IT'S ME!
YOU SEE?
DO NOT MOVE.
YES...
I CAN SEE YOU.
WHO ARE YOU?
WHERE IS THE SCIENTIFIC OFFICER?
THE ONE LIKE US.
THE ONE WHO CAME WITH YOU TO OUR SHIP.
HE SPOKE OF A PLAN TO RETURN TO NORMAL.
YES, THIS DISRUPTOR WORKS.
I WAS WEARING IT WHEN I WAS CHANGED.
NOW, WHERE IS HE?
DATA, STOP BEING SO RATIONAL.
TRY USING YOUR IMAGINATION ONCE IN A WHILE.
THESE AREN'T JUST RANDOM PATTERNS
IT'S ME!
AHH!
WATCH WHERE YOU POINT THAT THING.
WAIT A MINUTE, DATA.
I THINK YOU DID SOMETHING HERE.
IT'S NOT SO EASY TO PUSH THROUGH ANYMORE.
THE MOLECULES IN MY HAND
MUST HAVE BEEN PARTIALLY DE-PHASED BY THE ANYON BEAM.
DATA, IF A LOW-LEVEL BEAM
CAN BRING MY HAND PART OF THE WAY BACK
MAYBE A HIGH-LEVEL BEAM CAN BRING ME ALL THE WAY BACK.
YOU JUST HAVE TO TURN UP THE INTENSITY...
HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.
DON'T STOP NOW.
NO, NO, NO, NO.
DATA, DON'T GIVE UP ON IT.
IT WORKS.
I WAS JUST CREATING MORE FIELDS.
YOUR METHOD IS FINE.
JUST TURN UP
THE INTENSITY, DATA.
( sighs )
HE'S IN HERE.
Brossmer to Commander Data.
DATA HERE.
I've just detected a large chroniton field on deck 17.
The field strength is 300%
above the others we've found.
IS THAT RO?
ACKNOWLEDGED.
( groans )
GET UP!
WHERE IS THE SCIENCE OFFICER?
( grunts )
EXCUSE ME, LIEUTENANT...
RO!
THERE'S A CHRONITON FIELD IN HERE.
MAY I SCAN THE AREA?
Man: CERTAINLY, GO RIGHT AHEAD.
Data: THANK YOU.
THANKS.
ANY TIME.
THERE'S NO INDICATION
THE ROMULANS SET UP A MUON WAVE IN OUR DILITHIUM CHAMBER.
IT'S THERE, AND WHEN THEY GO TO WARP...
McDowell: INCOMING MESSAGE FROM THE ROMULANS, CAPTAIN.
ON SCREEN.
NOW WHAT?
Mirok: installation of the engine core has been completed
we are ready to switch
to internal power, Enterprise.
UNDERSTOOD.
DISCONNECT THE POWER TRANSFER BEAM.
We are now on internal power.
Captain Picard, please accept my sincere thanks
on behalf of the Romulan Empire.
DON'T LISTEN TO HIM, CAPTAIN.
IT WAS OUR PLEASURE, MIROK
AND I HOPE THAT THIS EXAMPLE OF COOPERATION
BETWEEN OUR TWO PEOPLES
WILL NOT BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.
As do I, Captain.
SET A COURSE FOR GARADIUS, WARP SIX.
DON'T DO IT! DON'T!
CAPTAIN, MISTER DATA BELIEVES
WE SHOULDN'T ENGAGE THE WARP DRIVE
UNTIL I'VE CLEARED ALL CHRONITON FIELDS FROM THE SHIP.
VERY WELL, LET ME KNOW
WHEN YOU FINISH YOUR SWEEP.
YES, SIR.
IF WE CAN GET TO TEH LOCATIONS THAT SHE'S DECONTAMINATING
MAYBE THE ANYON EMISSIONS WILL RE-PHASE US ENOUGH
FOR SOMEONE TO SEE US.
THE BEAM WILL HAVE TO BE STRONG
FOR US TO BE VISIBLE MORE THAN A MILLISECOND.
SOMEBODY WILL HAVE TO LOOK DIRECTLY AT US.
THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE
WITH AN AWFUL LOT OF PEOPLE.
IT'S TIME, SIR.
WE SHOULD GO.
YOU HAVE THE BRIDGE, MR. McDOWELL.
I'LL BE AT THE SERVICE IN TEN FORWARD.
WELL, THAT'S PERFECT.
WE'LL CREATE AS MANY CHRONITON FIELDS
IN THERE AS WE CAN--
GET THEM TO FLOOD THAT ROOM WITH A STRONGER BEAM.
Picard: DECK TEN.
I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THE FIRST TIME
I MET GEORDI LA FORGE.
HE WAS A YOUNG OFFICER ASSIGNED TO PILOT ME
ON AN INSPECTION TOUR
AND I MADE SOME OFFHAND REMARK
ABOUT THE SHUTTLE'S ENGINE EFFICIENCY
NOT BEING WHAT IT SHOULD
AND THE NEXT MORNING
I FOUND THAT HE'D STAYED UP ALL NIGHT
REFITTING THE FUSION INITIATORS.
WELL, I KNEW THEN
THAT I WANTED TO HAVE HIM WITH ME
ON MY NEXT COMMAND.
HAVE YOU DECIDED
WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SAY ABOUT ENSIGN RO?
YES, I HAVE.
IT WASN'T EASY.
SITUATIONS LIKE THIS
ARE NEVER EASY, NUMBER ONE.
WHAT WASN'T EASY?
( Dixieland band playing "Down By The Riverside" )
WHAT?
( playing "This Land Is Your Land" )
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?
IT'S OUR MEMORIAL SERVICE.
THIS?
WHY NOT?
I DON'T BELIEVE THIS.
THEY THINK WE'RE DEAD AND THEY'RE HAVING A PARTY?
YEAH. IT'S PERFECT.
COME ON, LET'S GET STARTED.
WELL, THIS IS... UNUSUAL.
YEAH.
I THINK I LIKE IT.
NOW I SUPPOSE I'LL NEVER KNOW
WHAT YOU WERE GOING TO SAY ABOUT ME.
DO YOU THINK THE OTHERS WILL FIND THIS SERVICE APPROPRIATE?
LOOK AROUND YOU, DATA.
EVERYBODY'S SHARING THEIR MEMORIES
OF GEORDI AND RO, LAUGHING AND TALKING.
WHAT COULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE?
I AM GLAD YOU APPROVE.
Brossmer: Commander Data, we've cleared the critical areas of chronitons
but we've detected a new field in Ten Forward
that's stronger than any we've seen before.
SHOULD I WAIT TILL THE SERVICE IS OVER BEFORE DECONTAMINATING?
ANYON EMISSIONS ARE HARMLESS.
PLEASE BEGIN IMMEDIATELY.
HERE WE GO.
WORF...
CAN YOU SEE US?
LIEUTENANT?
WE'RE RIGHT HERE, WORF.
DAMN.
WE HAVE TO INCREASE THE EMISSION STRENGTH.
IF SHE HADN'T LOST RANK
AS A RESULT OF THAT INCIDENT AT GARON FOUR
SHE'D HAVE MADE LIEUTENANT COMMANDER.
Bridge to Captain Picard.
GO AHEAD.
The diplomatic situation is deteriorating
on Garadius Four.
STAND BY, ENSIGN.
WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING NOW
BEFORE THEY GO INTO WARP.
THE DISRUPTOR-- I CAN PUT IT ON OVERLOAD.
DO IT.
LET'S GO.
Picard: I WOULD LIKE TO GET UNDERWAY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
THE SITUATION ON GARADIUS FOUR
IS BECOMING SERIOUS.
I SEE NO REASON TO DELAY OUR DEPARTURE.
Picard: EXCELLENT.
MISTER McDOWELL, SET A COURSE FOR...
Brossmer: Commander Data, chroniton field strength in Ten Forward
has just increased by 3,000 percent.
CURIOUS.
I BELIEVE WE SHOULD DECONTAMINATE THIS ROOM
BEFORE GETTING UNDERWAY.
VERY WELL.
CHIEF, INCREASE ANYON EMISSIONS
TO 6,000 PARTICLES PER SECOND
AND DECONTAMINATE THIS AREA.
Aye, sir.
OKAY, HANG ON.
DATA, DATA, DO YOU SEE US?
Ro: CAPTAIN!
WE'RE RIGHT HERE!
DO YOU SEE THAT, MR. DATA?
YES, SIR.
COME ON, DATA.
PUT IT ALL TOGETHER NOW.
THESE WERE NOT GHOSTS.
WHAT DID WE SEE?
I BELIEVE I MAY KNOW WHAT HAS HAPPENED, SIR.
OH, DATA, PLEASE BE RIGHT.
IT WOULD EXPLAIN
THE MYSTERIOUS CHRONITON FIELDS...
YES, YES, YES!
...IF THEY WERE CLOAKED IN SOME WAY.
ARE YOU SAYING THAT THEY'RE STILL ALIVE?
IF I AM RIGHT, SIR, THEY ARE... AND IN THIS ROOM.
THEIR BRIEF APPEARANCE COINCIDED WITH THE ANYON SWEEP.
PERHAPS THE ANYONS NEUTRALIZED THE CLOAKING EFFECT.
CHIEF BROSSMER, SET THE ANYONIC BEAM
TO ITS HIGHEST LEVEL AND FLOOD TEN FORWARD.
Aye, sir.
DATA, DO YOU SEE US?
OF COURSE.
LA FORGE TO ENGINEERING.
TAKE THE WARP ENGINES OFF-LINE.
THERE'S A MUON WAVE
BUILDING UP INSIDE THE DILITHIUM CHAMBER.
Who gave that order?
COMMANDER GEORDI LA FORGE.
PLEASE FOLLOW HIS INSTRUCTIONS.
Aye, sir.
WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE A GREAT PARTY.
YOU MIND IF WE JOIN YOU?
ENSIGN...
GEORDI, IT IS GOOD TO SEE YOU.
THANKS, DATA.
I'VE NEVER BEEN TO A BETTER FUNERAL.
COULD YOU PASS THE ROLLS?
YOU'VE BEEN EATING FOR OVER AN HOUR.
COME ON.
WE DIDN'T EAT FOR ALMOST TWO DAYS.
I'M HUNGRY.
WHAT'S WRONG?
NOTHING.
COME ON.
I WAS RAISED WITH BAJORAN BELIEFS
AND I EVEN FOLLOWED SOME OF THE PRACTICES
BUT I NEVER REALLY BELIEVED IN A LIFE AFTER DEATH.
AND THEN SUDDENLY, I WAS DEAD
AND THERE WAS THIS OTHER LIFE
AND IT MADE ME FEEL LIKE I'D BEEN PRETTY ARROGANT
TO DISCOUNT EVERYTHING I'D BEEN TAUGHT, YOU KNOW.
NOW I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE.
WELL, MAYBE WE SHOULD DEVELOP
OUR OWN INTERPHASE DEVICE.
IF IT CAN TEACH RO LAREN HUMILITY...
IT CAN DO ANYTHING.
( both laughing )
