謎の症状は以前にも旧エンタープライズ号で生じたことがわかります。
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 |
| Ta: | And then we got'im down to sick bay so Doctor Crusher could examine him. |
| P: | He wasn't violent? |
| Ta: | No, sir. He was very upset. He kept talking about wanting normal vision. |
| P: | Um...Thank you Lieutenant. |
| Cr: | According to our medical readouts, there's still nothing wrong with him. He looks like he is running a temperature but every instrument we have says he is not. |
| P: | Doctor, every person on that ship over there died. Is there any chance that, whatever did it, is loose on my ship? |
| Cr: | If you mean a desease, sir, I'd say there's no chance of it. We used full decontamination. We examined every team memeber very carefully. |
| P: | The entire crew somehow managed to kill themselves, Doctor. And if it's not a desease, what else made them do it? |
| Cr: | The obvious alternatives are in the areas of insanity, and severe emotional upset. Troi, do you feel anything unusual in the Lieutenant? |
| P: | Security just told me that he was longing for normal sight. That's a sudden yearning for that. |
| De: | Since his records show no previous mention of that, the fact that it happened now could be important. But all I sense from him is confusion. If I didn't know better, I would say he was intoxicated. |
| Cr: | Our tests would've shown that, also any other signs of drugs, hallucinogens or any other contaminants. |
| Da: | Can you provide more information, sir? Seeking an instance of someone showering in his or her clothing is... |
| R: | I know, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. |
| Da: | Why should anyone wish to expend his time in such a search? |
| R: | Correction, Data, I sould've said proverbial needle in a haystack. |
| Da: | Uh, a human proverb, as in folklore, or an historical allusion, or tribal memory.... |
| R: | Historical, that's it. I remember I was reading a history of all the past starships named Enterprise. |
| Da: | Enterprise history, aberrant behavior, medical cross-reference. |
| R: | Captain, I believe we have the answer to what happened over there. |
| P: | The Constituion-class Starship Enterprise, Captain James T. Kark commanding. |
| R: | Similar conditions. They were monitoring a planet that was breaking up and not a collapsing star as in this case. But there were the same huge shifts in gravity. |
| P: | Which somehow resulted in complex strings of water molecules which acquired carbon from the body and acted, acted on a brain like alcohol. Data, download this information to Medical immediately. |
| Da: | Aye, sir. Downloading. |
| P: | Fascinating. The entire crew going out of control. |
| R: | Like intoxication, but worse. Judgement almost completely impaired. |
| P: | Until they found this formula, barely in time. Picard to Dr. Crusher, come in. |
| Cr: | This is Crusher, go ahead, Captain. |
| P: | You can relax, Doctor. The answer to all of this is feeding into your medical bank, right now, including a cure. |
| Cr: | Are you certain, Captain? |
| P: | Absolutely. |
