Wesly Crusher:ドクター・クラッシャーの息子

P: Starbase 74, this is Enterprise. Do you read me?
Ke: This is Starbase 74. Captain Picard, what is your situation?
P: We are going to that later. Right now I must speak to Lieutenant Commander Data.
Da: I'm here, sir.
P: Data, the Biners have stored the enormous amount of material in our computer. We need to access it, but we can't.
Da: The access would be available by code or password.
P: Yes, I know that, Data. But, what could it be?
Da: File name can be anything, sir.
P: They wanted us to find it. They would've kept it simple.
Da: Their name or place. It could be something personal. In this case in the binary language which is ones and zeros in groups of eight or sixteen characters.
P: They've kept it that simple? Try it. Picard out.
R: That's the file. It'd work now.
P: No. Access the file. Stop the transfer.
R: So much for that idea.
P: Let me get on the other position. The Biners are always working in pairs. Maybe that's also required. Hm-hm. It appears to be successful. And their system started up. A resident diagnostic program is running. Their system's absolutely incredible.
Bi: Our world is reactivated. Our people express their gratitude. We will return to your starbase for whatever punishment your system requires of us.
P: Why didn't you just ask for our help?
Bi: You might have said 'no.'
R: It was a very good chance for we would have said 'yes.'
Bi: Our need was too great to risk rejection.
P: So you stole it.
R: Their reason is a part of binary thinking. For them there are only two choices, one or zero, yes or no. Why did you lure me to the holodeck and hold me there?
Bi: Because we knew we might die. And we need someone to restore our computer and you did.
P: No one has been hurt. You've archived your objective. You have your planet back in order. We have our ship. Well, it's been sometimes since I have the con. But, not too worry, Number One. I'm in good hands. Starbase 74, warp 2. Engage. Everything's under control.
??: USS Enterprise has cleared the starbase perimeter.
Cr: Is everything all right?
P: We are fine. Everything's in order. But now I want complete check all systems and all divisions.
Ta: What about the Biners?
P: I demand?? Ken Tares. They would be hearing.
Bi: We understood that what happened.
Ta: Follow me, please.
R: Why they seem to check permission to leave the Bridge, sir.
P: Permission granted.
R: What is a knockout like you doing and computer generated ginger like this. Not Menuet.
R: She's gone. I tried variations on the program of others appear but not Menuet.
P: Maybe it was all part of Biner's programing. But you know, Number One, some relationships just can't work.
R: Yes, probably true. It should be difficult to forget.
