最終兵器


Ge: Prepare to initiate separation sequence.
Zu: All decks report ready.
Ge: On my mark. Now.
Co: Main latch bags to zero. Main latch retraction 1 to 1-8. Initiate. Static charge, compensated.
Wo: Separation complete.
Ge: Lieutenant Soles, lay in a reciprocal course for Minos, warp 5.
So: Course set.
Ge: On my mark. Engage.


P: We seemed to be in pretty well shielded in, Doctor.
Cr: No exits?
P: Not that I can see.
Cr: If you find one, go.
P: Oh, no. Tied(?) my company already. Beverly, Beverly.
Cr: I'm tired. I need to sleep. Woke up too early.
P: Talk to me. Stay awake. Tell me something. Tell me about, uh... How those roots... How did you know them this of value?
Cr: My grandmother.
P: Your grandmother was a doctor?
Cr: No.
P: Oh. She was the botanist, then.
Cr: No. She helped to colonize the beta three.
P: Tau beta three? That's such a tragedy. This is vile.
Cr: Yes. Once the medical supplies had run out, she had to use what was at hand. So she learned all about roots and herbes, then taught it to me.
P: You were a part of that colony. I didn't know that. Then, there must be a lot of things about you that I don't know.
Cr: Quite a few.
P: What? I've just met it is something odd. It's glowing.
Cr: What it is?
P: I don't know. It's covered up. Just... clearing away the dirt. It's a view screen. It seems to still be operative. It's a tracking device of some kind.
Cr: Tracking what?
P: There are three moving indicators, possibly the away team.
Sa: Beautiful, isn't it? It's the central piece of the whole unit.
Cr: Who's that?
P: Projection. It's the automated salesman who greeted us on the Enterprise. What unit?
Sa: Privy eco purpose 607. Our proudest achievement. The ultimate weapon system technology.
P: Is that what's behind the attack on my people?
Sa: Impressive demonstration, isn't it?
P: Demonstration? It tried to kill us.
Sa: Versatile, powerful, and easy to use. The 607 does it all. Its various modules can gather information, neutralize ground personnel, even destroy enemy space vessels.
P: The Enterprise. It's one of the things after my ship. Tell me.
Sa: Of course, I can tell you. I am programmed to answer any and all questions about the unit. I can talk terms, arrangement for delivery. Whatever you need.
Cr: It doesn't understand anything other than what it's peddling.
Sa: The 607 represents the state of the art in dynamic adaptive design. It learns from each encounter and improves itself.
P: So, what we dread? Where're its creators? Where's the people of Minos?
Sa: Once unleashed, the unit is invincible. The perfect killing system.
P: Too perfect. In proof of fool, your own creation destroyed you. What was that noise?
Sa: The units analyzed its last attack and constructed a new stronger deadly weapon. In a moment, it will launch that weapon against the targets on the surface.
P: Abort it.
Sa: Why would I want to do that? It can't demonstrate its abilities unless we let it leave the nest.

Da: They are down there, sir. Let's create some other way.
Ta: If Data's calculations are correct, the next one will(?) show up in two minutes.
R: Captain, did you hear me?
P: Yes, we are here.
R: Are you all right?
P: Dr. Crusher's seriously hurt. We can't contact the Enterprise. The communicators are out.
R: Yes, our communicators are out too.
P: Those devices are a part of a system located down here. And another one is about to be released. Watch yourself.
Ta: We know Captain.
R: It's too far down. There's nothing to hold on to this. No way to climb down.
Ta: I'm surprised either of them survived.
Da: I can do it, Commander.
R: How?
Da: Jump.
R: Data. It's over 10 meters.
Da: 11.75, sir.
Ta: Data! You may be sturdy, but you're not indestructible.
Da: I believe I can safely traverse the distance.
R: Captain. Data is going to join you down there.
P: Be my guests. Data.
Da: At your service, Captain.
Ta: We'd better to find the defense position. If Data is right...
R: He usually is.
Ta: ... we are going to have company any minutes now. And this time, I don't know how we're going to stop it.
