P: | Captain's log, stardate 41153.7. Our destination is planet Deneb M beyond which lies the great, unexplored mass of the galaxy. My orders are to examine Farpoint, a starbase built there by the inhabitants of that world. Meanwhile, I'm becoming better acquainted with my new command--this galaxy-class U.S.S. Enterprise. I'm still somewhat in awe of its size and complexity. As for my crew, we're short in several key positions most notably, a first officer. But I'm informed that a highly experienced man, one commander William Riker will be wating to join the ship at our Deneb M destination. |
P: | You will agree, Data, that Starfleet's orders are difficult. |
Da: | Difficult? Simply solve the mystery of Farpoint Staion. |
P: | As simple as that. |
De: | Farpoint Station. Even the name sounds mysterious. |
P: | It's hardly simple, Data, to negotiate a friendly agreement for Starfleet to use the base while at the same time we snoop around finding out how and why the life form there built it. |
Da: | Inquiry. The word, snoop? |
P: | Data, how can you be programmed as a virtual encyclopedia of human information without knowing a simple word like snoop? |
Da: | Possibility, a kind of human behavior I was not designed to emulate. |
P: | It means ah, to, ah, spy, to sneak. |
Da: | Ah, to seek covertly, to go stealthily, to slink. slither. |
P: | Exactly, yes. |
Da: | Glide, creep, skulk, pussyfoot, gum... |
P: | Yes. |
Da: | Shoe... |
De: | Captain. I'm sensing a powerful mind. |
