| P: |
What have you learned, Number One?
|
| R: |
Captain, the ship's engines are cut off from the Bridge. The assistant
chief engineer's pulled out the iso-linear optical chips from command.
All the engines are off-line. Wesley has hooked up some kind of
tracter beam to the ship's power. He has it aimed at the door.
And we can't get past to get to the computer.
|
| P: |
Can you short out the power?
|
| C.E: |
Yes, I can. But it's gonna take some time.
|
| P: |
Do it.
|
| De: |
Bill.
|
| R: |
Deanna, what?
|
| De: |
So many minds on this ship, all free, released.
|
| R: |
Deanna.
|
| De: |
I can feel them all what they want, what they feel. It's a side of humans
I never felt before.
|
| R: |
C'mon, get you sickbay.
|
| De: |
Wouldn't you rather be along with me? With me in your mind?
|
| Cr: |
The medical records we found say this works almost instantly.
|
| Ge: |
Oh,ho,ho,ho, it's not fair, Doc. I've never seen a rainbow, sunset, sunrise.
This is gonna help me? Help me see like you!
|
| R: |
Doctor Crusher! Deanna needs your help.
|
| Cr: |
The formula from the old Enterprise didn't work.
|
| R: |
What?
|
| Cr: |
This water-carbon complex may induce the same symptoms, but
somehow it's different. Maybe it's mutated. But I've got to isolate
it in order to analyse it.
|
| R: |
We don't have that kind of time.
|
| Cr: |
You brought Deanna in.
|
| R: |
Yes, she is infected with it...
|
| Cr: |
Then you touched her. Oh, God, and you touched me. Wait, I've
got to quarantine you.
|
| R: |
If I don't get the command computer back on-line soon, none of this,
whatever this is, will matter. We'll all be dead.
|
| P: |
Wesly! This is Captain Picard. Do you see me?
|
| We: |
Yes, sir.
|
| P: |
You will now return control of this vessel to the bridge where it belongs at once.
|
| We: |
I'm sorry, sir. Why don't you just tell me what you want done and
I'll do it.
|
| P: |
Because ship captains control their own vessel, young man.
|
| We: |
But sir. You don't do it yourself. You give the orders but somebody
else does it. What's wrong with giving me the orders to do it?
|
| Wo: |
Captain! Getting unusual readings now from the dwarf star.
|
| P: |
Stand by on that for a moment. Wesly! Wes. Are you aware that you are
behaving strangely? That a kind of infection was brought over
from the Tsiolkovsky which acts like intoxication?
|
| We: |
Are you saying that's why I feel so hot, so strange?
|
| P: |
That's, that's a very adult bit of reasoning, Wesley.
|
| We: |
So you mean I'm drunk. I feel strange but also good.
|
| P: |
Because, because you have lost the capacity for self-judgement.
Now alcohol does this, Wesley. But the contaminant we brought back
from the Tsiolkovsky does it even more so.
|
| We: |
What would you do if you got your ship back?
|
| P: |
Oh, it's very important I do, Wesley, because I must immediately lock
a tracter beam onto the Tsiolkovsky and tow it out of...
|
| We: |
Tracter beams are my specialty, skipper! I'll contact you when
that's done, Wesley out!
|
| P: |
Wesley! Wesley! Conn? Where are you headed?
|
| Wo: |
Sir, the star. It's beginning to collapse.
|
| P: |
What the hell is happening in Engineering?
|
| We: |
Lock on, lock on Tsiolkovsky. Come on, now.
|
| R: |
Where's that sonic driver?
|
| C.E: |
It's over there. Okay. Let's see if this cut out his tracter
beam power. Oh, c'mon!
