| P: |
You asked for me.
|
| Ma: |
I am not sure that I remembered all of the codes for the security
system. You should warn anyone going down there.
|
| P: |
Thank you. I'll tell them to be cautious.
|
| Ma: |
What I really wanted to talk to you about is Jenis.
|
| P: |
Dr. Manheim, I did not come here to discuss your wife.
|
| Ma: |
It is only this. If anything should go wrong, please take care of
her for me.
|
| P: |
Of course.
|
| Ma: |
She never would've been in this. But she had a terrible time these
past years. And it(we?) had been so isolated, if she might have left me,
I never would have known. At least, not right away. Perhaps I am
not a man who should have a woman like her. She deserves better...
|
| P: |
You underestimate her. I know, because I once did.
|
| Da: |
In both cases the time distortions occurred along the same continuum as
a preview or reprise of a specific point and time.
|
| P: |
Where we are, where we were, and where we will be? Data, I want you
to be this away team of one, you. I don't have any reason to risk anyone
else.
|
| Da: |
It is reasonable, sir. After all I am a machine and dispensable.
|
| P: |
Indispensable is an appropriate word. I ????? should be only you
because you seem more able to control your effects of time distortion.
|
| Da: |
Oh, I see, sir. That is quite true, sir. I see time is constant,
whereas humans perceive time is flexible. Hence the expression time for
I've been having fun which until now always confuse me.
|
| P: |
Well, I want you to restitch in time. And save much more than nine.
|
| Da: |
Sir?
|
| P: |
If other members of your away team, became disoriented, it could
create additional problems, perhaps, increase the danger.
|
| Da: |
I will go immediately, sir.
|
| P: |
Good luck, Data.
|
| Ge: |
All right. We have a coordinate exactly as Professor specified.
|
| Da: |
Enterprise.
|
| P: |
Picard.
|
| Da: |
I'm proceeding to the lab, sir.
|
| P: |
Maintain the open frequency, Mr. Data.
|
| Da: |
Aye, sir.
|
| P: |
Mr. Data, what's going on?
|
| Da: |
Dr. Manheim forgot to mention one of the security precaution, sir.
I'm proceeding into the laboratory.
|
| P: |
Mr. Data, this channel will remain open. Please continue to report.
|
| Da: |
This appears to be the instrument Dr. Manheim described. It should
confirm the next time effect will occur.
|
| R: |
Data, did Manheim give you enough information to the site for the
security code?
|
| Da: |
I will know in a moment, sir. According to calculations, the next
time effect will occur in 1 minute 30 seconds.
|
| P: |
What's the next step, Mr. Data?
|
| Da: |
I will need to add specific amount of antimatter to rebalance the line
in the system.
|
| P: |
Will that block the hole?
|
| Da: |
Theoretically, yes. In reality, I do not know.
When the effect hits, the force fields will realign, open a clean straight
path to the other dimension. Whatever the time distortion, I must add
the antimatter at the appropriate moment. Geordi, if the professor is
right, I will need 27 second count down.
|
| Ge: |
You got it, Data.
|
| Da: |
Captain, I now have the antimatter. And moving toward to the opening
at the end of the lab. The next time distortion should occur within
seconds. Geordi, begin count down on my mark. Now.
|
| Co: |
27. 26. 25. 24. 23. 22. 21. 20...
|
| Da: |
Captain, there appear to be three of us. Should I drop the antimatter
await for one of you? Await one of us is in correct time continuum.
Which one? Me, it's me.
|
| Co: |
5. 4. 3. 2. 1. Now.
