登場人物
| Jean-Luc Picard: | エンタープライズＤ艦長 |
| William T. Riker: | 副長（「副長」は英語でnumber oneだそうです） |
| Deanna Troi: | カウンセラー（テレパスで、ライカーの元恋人） |
| Beverly Crusher: | 医療部長（艦で唯一、艦長に命令権限あり） |
| Data: | アンドロイド（科学主任で第二副長） |
| Tasha Yar: | セキュリティー・チーフ |
| Groppler Zorn: | FarPoint Stationの渉外担当 |
| TC: | Trasporter chief |
| Cr: | Can I help you, Captain? |
| P: | I, uh... I didn't want you thinking me harsh-- Cold-blooded. |
| Cr: | Why would I ever think that? |
| P: | I didn't welcome you aboard, personally, professionally. I made you come to me on the bridge. I yelled at your son... Who, as you pointed out, was quite correct. He seemes to have a very good grasp of starship operations. |
| Cr: | You've just won this mother's heart, Captain. |
| P: | Ah... but, uh... now, your assignment here. I would consider and approve a trasfer for you. |
| Cr: | Oh, you consider me unqulified? |
| P: | Hardly. Your service record shows you're just the chief medical officer I want. |
| Cr: | Then you must object to me personally. |
| P: | I'm trying to be considerate of your feelings, Doctor. For you to work with a commanding officer who would continue to remind you of a terrible personal tragedy... |
| Cr: | If I had had any objections to serving with you, I wouldn't have requested this assignmnet, Captain. |
| P: | You requested this posting? |
| Cr: | My feelings about my husband's death will have no effect on the way I serve you, this vessel, or this mission. |
| P: | Ah... then, welcome aboard, Doctor. |
| R: | Riker to Picard. We're ready to beam over, sir. |
| P: | I, uh, I hope we can be friends. |
| Cr: | Thank you. |
| R: | Phasers on stun. Energize. |
| Da: | Most interesting, sir. |
| Ta: | Much the same construction we saw in the underground tunnel. |
| Da: | But no sound of power. No equipment. |
| Ta: | How does this ship run? |
| De: | Hum.. |
| R: | Easy, Troi. Is it the same as you felt down there? |
| De: | No. This is much more powerful. Full of anger. Hate. |
| Ta: | Toward us? |
| De: | No. It's directed down toward the old Bandi city. |
| Da: | Most intriguing, again, sir. The place that this vessel was firing upon was not the Farpoint starbase, but the home of those who constructed... Sorry, sir. I seem to be commenting on everything. |
| R: | Good. Don't stop, my friend. Enterprise, Riker. This is turning out to be a very long tunnel or corridor, sir. No ship's crew in sight. No sign of mechanism or circuitry. No controls or readouts. This is nothing like any vessel I've seen before. |
| De: | Groppler Zorn, sir. In great fear, just ahead. There's a different feeling here than in the tunnel. Very different. |
| Gr: | No, please, no more, please. No more. Make it stop. Make it stop. Make it stop. No more! Please, no more! |
| R: | Zorn, can you hear me? |
| Gr: | Please! No! |
| De: | Has the alien communicated? |
| Gr: | Please! Please, no more! |
| De: | That's it, sir. It's just one alien I'm sensing here. |
| Gr: | Please, I don't understand what you want. |
| Da: | Not true, he does know. |
| Gr: | No please! No more! Please, no more! No! Don't! Don't! |
| W: | Captain! |
| P: | Tranporter chief, Yank them back, now! Riker acknowledge. |
