| Ta: |
One thing is clear. Almost all the peace delegates answered the questions
were lies.
|
| Da: |
In precise, Lieutenant. They admitted certain truth which in itself
tells us something.
|
| Ta: |
We can learn something from non-disclosure?
|
| Da: |
Indubitably, my good woman.
|
| R: |
Something that Captain mentioned, Sherlock Holmes, indubitably, Data has
been studying him.
|
| Da: |
Has studied it, sir, every case. As Holmes would've pointed out, during
the time in question, something was a foot.
|
| Ta: |
A foot?
|
| Da: |
While both sensor(?) of delegates say they were in their quarters. A crew locaters
sensed them passing here and here.
|
| Ta: |
The sensor doesn't show where they went for still in the dark.
|
| Da: |
On the contrary, my dear coleague. On their return, their(?) medical
supply is apprapriate to the treatment of minor wounds and abrasions
on these life forms.
|
| R: |
That leads us to only one conclusion.
|
| Da: |
Exactly. That they were too engaged in their own affairs to disable
the ship and to murder the engineer. Given the choice, they will
rather kill each other than any of us. It's elementary,
my dear Riker, sir.
|
| De: |
Biverly, can you hear me? I want you to go back in your mind to the moment
when you first recall this sensation of memory loss. Picture it
exactly as it occured.
|
| Cr: |
He is lying on the hospital bed sedated. I'm walking up to him. I, uh...
|
| De: |
How do you feel it at this moment as you lean over him to take his specimen.
|
| Cr: |
I feel someone else. There's someone else who's there. Not ah,
not alone, get out, get out of my mind.
|
| De: |
That's almost exactly what you said. As though there was something else
inside you, which confirms the feeling of duality that I sense earlier
in both of them.
|
| P: |
Why didn't you report it?
|
| De: |
Because, sir, I assumed at first it was a kind of duality that we
Betazoid feel in all of you, even you, sir. When you approach your
decision and ask yourself which direction to go, who you talking to.
|
| P: |
Um...your hypnotism revealed another form of duality.
|
| De: |
Yes, sir. I believe something invaded them.
|
| Cr: |
It seems to be the only possible conclusion.
|
| P: |
Data...let's proceed without a pipe.
|
| Da: |
Yes, sir. If you wish, sir. But I ask if you take it incontrovertible
that it cannot be a family member or one of the crew.
|
| P: |
Yes, very unlikely.
|
| Da: |
Then our investigation was worth while, sir. We eliminate the both
of delegates and the ship's regular complement.
|
| P: |
Data, what are you suggesting?
|
| Da: |
I'm referring to the great detective's credo, sir. I quote, "We must
fall back on the old axiom that another contingencies fail, whatever
remains, however improbable, must be the truth."
