"STAR TREK" " NEMESIS " ""ROMULAN IMPERIAL SENATE"" " Senators, consider the opportunities for the Empire." "At last, the destinies of the planets Romulus and Remus will be united." "Shinzon of Remus is offering us a chance to make ourselves stronger than ever before." "It would be madness to reject him." "I beg you not to let prejudice or politics interfere with this alliance." "By joining Shinzon's forces with ours   not even the federation will be able to stand in our way." " That's enough!" "The decision has been made." "The military does not dictate policy on Romulus." "The Senate has considered Shinzon's proposal and rejected it." "He and his followers will be met with all deliberate force and sent back to that black rock they came from!" "Do I make myself clear?" "Yes Sir." "If you will excuse me Praetor," "I have an appointment with the Tholian ambassador." "Of course." "Senators," "Are there any others who wish to speak?" "Then I call for a vote on the motion to open trade negotiations with Zeles II." "As you know the Remus mines have not been filling their quotes for months now." "I hope you'll all bare in mind the trade committees fighting's." "As much as we don't want ..." "Will someone alert security!" "?" "Bring back senator Tal'Aura." "Duty ..." "Starship captains' life is filled with ..." "solemn duty." "I have commanded man in battle." "I have negotiated peace treaties between implacable enemy." "I have represented the Federation in first contact with 27 alien species." "But none of this compares with my solemn duty today   as best man!" "Now, I know on an occasion such as this, it is expected that I'll be gracious and fulsome in my preys on the wanders of this blessed union." "But have the two of you considered what you are doing to me?" "Of course you're happy, but what about my needs?" "This is all a damned inconvenience." "And while you are happily settling in on the tighten" "I will be training my new First Officer." "You all know him." "He is a tyrannical ............., who will never, ever!" "allow me to go on away missions." "That is the regulation, Sir." "Starfleet code section 12 paragraph 4 ..." "Mister Data?" "Sir?" "Shut up." "Yes Sir." "15 years I've been waiting to say." "No, serious." "Deanna:" "Is still time to reconsider." "Yes?" "No." "No?" "Oh, very well then." "Will Riker, you have been my trusted right arm for 15 years." "You have kept my course through and steady." "Diana Troy, you've been my guide and my conscience." "You have helped me recognized the better part of myself." "You are my family." "And in best marry time tradition" "I wish you both clear horizons." "My good friends." "Make it so." "The bride and brew!" "...." "No, 23 was my limit." "Worf?" "Are you all right?" "Romulan all should be illegal." "It is!" "That was a lovely toast." "It was from the heart." "And you needn't worry, I'm going to brief your new counselor everything she needs to know." "Oh, like hell you are." "You already know too much about me." "... but I take it that there will be no speeches during the ceremony on Betazen." "No, no speeches an no close." "Ladies and Gentlemen, and invited transgender species" "In my studies of Terran and Betazoid conjuble rights," "I have discovered it is traditional to present the happy couple with a gift." "given commander Riker's affection for archaic musical forms" "I have elected to present the following as my gift." "In honor of their conjugation." "Never sow the sun Shining so bright" "Never sow things going so right." "Noticing the days" "When you're in love" "Oh blue skies..." "Nothing but blue sky." "It's tradition Worf." "You of all people should appreciate that." "I will not do it!" "Do what Mr. Worf?" "Captain, I do not think it is appropriate for a Starfleet officer to appear   naked." "Oh, come on, a big handsome fellow like you ... what can you be afraid of?" "Captain, I am picking up an unusual electromagnetic signature from the Kolorin system." "What sort of signature?" "Positronic." "It's very fade, but I've isolated it to the third planet in the Kolorin system." "What do we know about it?" "Uncharted, we'll have to get closer for a more detailed scan" "Theories?" "Since positronic signatures have only been know to emanate from an android such as myself," "It is logical to theorize there is an android on Kolaris III." "Just what I was afraid of." "Captain!" "Diverting to the Kolaris system takes us offly close to the Romulan Neutral Zone." "It's still well on our side..." "I think ..." "I think it's worth taking a look." "Don't worry Number One we'll soon have you to Betazoid with plenty of time to spare." "Thank you Sir." "Where we will all honor the Betazoid tradition." "Now, if you'll excuse me ..." "I'll be in the gym." "Mr. Branson laid a course to the Kolarin system." "Warp 5." "What do you think Data?" "Scanning matrix is on ..." "I'm reading 6 distinct positronic signatures spread out over a few kilometers on the planet surface." "What do we know about the population of Kolaris III?" "Isolated packets of humanoids." "It appears to be a pre-warp civilization at an early stage of industrial development." "Captain." "Wouldn't recommend using the transporters." "That Ion storm doesn't look very neighborly." "It could head in our direction without much warning." "Understood." "Data, Mr. Worf you're with me." "Captain, I don't have to remind you ..." "I appreciate your concern Number One, but I am itching to try the Argo." "I'll bet." "Captains Prerogative." "There is no feasible danger." "And your wife would never forgive me if anything should happen to you." "You have the bridge!" "Mr. Troy!" "I will always be puzzled by the human predilection for piloting vehicles at unsafe velocities." "Over that hill Sir." "Half of kilometer." "The radiant electromagnetic field is interfering with my tricorder." "We are within a few meters of the signal." "Let's search around." "It appears to be a robotic arm." "Mr. Worf, bring it to the vehicle." "This doesn't feel right." "The final signature is approximately 100 meters to the north Sir." "It's you." "The resemblance is striking." "Fascinating." "To the vehicle!" "I think it's time to try some unsafe velocities." "Why do you have a shiny head?" "This is not the appropriate time for a conversation." "Why?" "Because the Captain have to concentrate on piloting the vehicle!" "Why?" "Because ..." "Data!" "Sorry Sir." "Have I said something wrong?" "Data!" "You know, all things considered Data, I think you have nicer eyes." "Our eyes are identical, Doctor." "So what have we got, Jody?" "Well, I would say it has the same internal mechanics as Data," "But not as much positronic development." "The neural pathways are nearly as sophisticated." "I'd say he is a ... prototype." "Something Dr. Sung created prior to Data." "Do you have a name, Sir?" "I am B4 (before)." "B4." "Dr's Sung interest for strange names seems to have no end." "Can you tell us how you came to be on the planet where we found you?" "I do not know." "Do you remember anything of your life before you were on the planet?" "No." "Why does the tall man have a furry face?" "Number One, keep me informed." "and ..." "Geordi, reassemble him." "Yes Sir." "B4." "Do you know who I am?" "You are me." "No." "My name is Data." "I am your brother." "Tea." "Captain." "You have an alpha priority communication from Starfleet command." "Acknowledge." "Admiral Janeway." "How good to see you again." "Jean-Luc." "How would you like a trip to Romulus?" "With or without the rest of the fleet?" "A diplomatic mission." "We've been invited, believe it or not." "Seems there's been some kind of internal political shake-up." "The new Praetor - someone called him Shinzon - has requested the Federation envoy." "New Praetor?" "There's more." "He is Reman, believe me we don't understand it either." "You are the closest ship, so I want you to go and hear what he has to say." "If the Empire becomes unstable it could mean trouble for the entire Quadrant." "Understood." "We sending you all the intelligence we have" "But is not much." "I don't need to tell you to watch your back, Jean-Luc." "Hardly." "The sonars, the borgs, the romulans ..." "you seem to get all the "easy" assignments." "Just lucky, admiral." "Let's hope that luck holds." "Janeway out." "Establish a new course Take us to Romulus." "Warp 8." "Yes Sir." "Course plugged and laid in." "Romulus?" "I'm afraid the open sea will have to wait Number One." "Engage." "As you can see one side of Remus always faces the sun." "Due to the extreme temperatures on that half of their world   the Remans live on the dark side of the planet." "Almost nothing is known about the Reman home world." "Although intelligence scans have proven the existence of Dilithian Mining and Heavy Weapons Construction." "The Remans themselves are considered an undesirable cast in the hierarchy of the Empire." "But they also have a reputation for being formidable warriors." "In the Dominion war the Reman troops   were used as assault forces in the most violent encounters." "Yes, but how did a Reman get to be Praetor?" "I don't get it." "We have to assume he had Romulan collaborators." "Could you tell?" "Praetor's power has always been the Romulat fleet." "They must have been behind Shinzon's for him to over throne the Senate." "What have we know about Shinzon?" "Starfleet intelligence was only able to provide a partial account of his military record." "We can inform that he is relatively young and a capable commander." "He fought 12 major engagements in the war - all successful." "beyond that we know nothing." "Well it's seems that we are truly sailing into the unknown." "Keep at it." "Anything you could give me would be appreciated." "Dismissed." "I still can't believe the captain went along with the memory download." "Captain Picard agrees that the B4 was probably designed   with the same safe actualization parameters as myself." "If my memory is successfully integrated into his positronic matrix   he should have all my abilities." "Yeah, but he would also have all of your memories as well." "You feel comfortable with that?" "I feel nothing Geordi." "It is my belief that with my memory he will be able to function   as a more complete individual." "An individual more like you, you mean." "Yes." "Maybe he is not supposed to be like you Data." "Maybe he is supposed to be exactly the way he is." "That might be so." "But I believe he should have the opportunity to explore his potential." "Ok ... we're done." "B4." "Do you know were you are?" "I am in a room ... with lights!" "Can you remember ... our father?" "Our father?" "Yes, Dr. Sung." "No." "Do you know the name of the Captain of this vessel?" "Captain?" "No." "Data, he is assimilating a lot of programming." "Remember, he is a prototype, a lot less sophisticated than you are." "We just don't know if his matrix will be able to adapt." "We really need to give him some time." "Geordi." "What purpose does this serve?" "That's the redundant memory part." "Maybe the provisional memory storage it's the case of his neuropath ways overload" "Do you mind if I keep him for a while, for a few diagnostics?" "No, I do not mind." "Data!" "No." "You must remain with commander La Forge." "He is going to try to help you." "Captain's log, star date 56844.9" "The Enterprise has arrived at Romulus and it's waiting at the designated coordinates." "All our hails have gone unanswered." "we've been waiting for 17 hours." "Counselor." "They are out there, Sir." "Captain." "I recommend we raise shields." "Not yet Mr. Worf." "Captain, with all do respect to diplomatic protocol," "The Federation council that is sitting out here, we are!" "Patience." "Diplomacy is a very exact occupation." "We will wait." "Captain." "Raising shields!" "No!" "Captain!" "Tactical analysis, Mr. Worf." "52 disruptors banks, 27 photon torpedoes base   primary and secondary shields." "She's a predator." "We are being hailed." "On screen." "Enterprise." "We are the Reman war bird Cimitarra." "Praetor Shinzon ..." "I'm pleased to ..." "I am not Shinzon ..." "I am his Viceroy." "We are sending transport coordinates." "Not very chatty." "Await Team, transporter room 4!" "I hope you forgive the darkness ..." "We are not comfortable in the light." "Praetor Shinzon?" "Captain Picard   Jean-Luc Picard ..." "I've always imagined you're a little taller." "Isn't that odd?" "You may scan me without subterfuges, Commander Data." "You are not as we imagined you." "No?" "You are human!" "Why have you asked us to come here?" "Praetor?" "I've never met a human woman before." "I'm only half human." "Deanna Troy of Betazed ..." "empathic and telepathic abilities   ship's conselor." "All this I knew, but I never knew you're so beautiful." "Isn't quite familiar ... without personnel?" "Oh, I am, Commander Riker." "May I touch your hair?" "We came to Romulus on a matter we were assured was of great importance." "If you have anything to say to us as representatives of the Federation" "I suggest you do it now." "Yes." "I'm sorry Captain," "There's so much we need to talk about." "I would be interested to know what we are talking about." "Unity, Captain!" "Tearing down the walls between us." "To recognize that we are one." "I'm talking of the thing that makes us the same." "Peace." "We want Peace." "Right now you're thinking this all sounds to good to be true." "But you're also thinking that the chance for Peace is too promising to ignore." "Am I right?" "Yes." "Than perhaps it's time to add some illumination to our discussion." "Computer, raise the lightning - 4 levels." "When I was very young I was stricken with an odd disease." "I developed a hyper-sensitivity to sound." "Even the slightest whisper caused me agony." "No one could do anything about it." "Finally I was taken to a doctor who had some experience of Terran illnesses." "And he diagnoses me with the Shalaft Syndrome." "Do you know it, Captain?" "Yes." "Then you know it's a very rare syndrome." "Genetic." "Apparently all the male members of the family have it." "Eventually I was treated." "Now I can hear as well as you can, Captain." "I can see as well as you can." "I can feel everything you feel." "In fact   I feel exactly what you feel." "Don't I Jean-Luc?" "Come to dinner, tomorrow on Romulus." "Just the two of us." "Or should I say ... just the one of us." "I think you'll be wanting this." "Until tomorrow then, Captain." "We have much to discuss." "Computer, return lightning to previous level." "There's no doubt Captain." "Right down to your aggressive strain of Shalaft Syndrome." "He's a clone." "They probably used a hair follicle or a skin cell." "Why?" "I intend to find out, Number One." "Inform Starfleet of the situation." "I need to know were the hell he came from!" "Counselor." "We supported you Shinzon when you assassinated the Senate." "You told us the timing was perfect for an attack on the Federation." "I don't understand why now you delay." "You don't have to understand." "And bringing the Enterprise here - what possible purpose could that serve?" "I have a purpose." "And perhaps you enlighten us." "Silence, Romulan!" "You really must learn patience, Commander." "Spend 18 hours everyday under a lash of a Romulan guard" "And you'll soon understand patience." "Now go." "Commander Donatra ..." "Please remain." "There's a word I want you to consider." "Allegiance." "It's something I demand from those who serve me." "Do I serve you?" "Yes." "And I think fatefully" "Commander Suran, on the other hand gives me .........." "Here's another word Praetor," "Trust." "Do you trust me?" "How far does that trust extend?" "How deep does it go?" "What must a commander do to prove herself fateful to you?" "What must a woman do?" "You   are not a woman." "You are a Romulan." "Serve me fatefully and you will be rewarded." "Keep those lovely eyes on Commander Suran." "And at the first sign of traitory ..." "Dispose of him." "Then, you will have proven yourself." "now go!" "And commander ..." "If you ever touch me again ... I'll kill you." "The Romulans had somehow gane possesion of your DNA." "And I have been created." "And when I was ready they were going to replace you with me." "Put a Romulan agent in the heart of Starfleet." "It was a bold plan." "What happened?" "As happens frequently here on Romulus   a new governor came to power   they decided to abandon the plan ..." "They were afraid that I might be discovered That it will lead to war." "Not quite the face you remember." "Not quite." "A lifetime of violence will do that." "It broke my nose, my jaw, but so much it's the same!" "The eyes, I sow that you recognized the eyes." "Yes." "Our eyes reflect our lifes, don't they?" "And yours are so confident." "So, I'm not as tall as you expected." "How did you end up on Remus?" "They sent me there to die." "How could a male human survived the Dilithium mines?" "Not did it matter, as I was no longer part of their plans against the Federation." "In those terrible depths lived only the damned." "Together with the Reman slaves I was condemned to an existence of unceasing labor and starvation, under the brutal hand of the Romulan guards." "Only the very strongest had any hope of survival." "I was only a child when they took me." "Then I didn't see the sun or the stars again for nearly 10 years." "The only thing that Romulan guards hated   more than the Remans, was me." "But one man took pity on me." "The man that became my Viceroy." "He protected me from the cruelty of the guards." "And taught me how to survive." "And in that dark place where there was nothing but myself" "I found my Reman brothers." "They showed me the only true kindness I ever know." "You're doing this to liberate the Remans?" "That is the single thought behind everything I have done!" "From building the Cimitarra to secret bases." "To assembling my army." "Finally coming to Romulus in force." "I knew they would never give us our freedom ... I would have to take it!" "How many Romulans died for your freedom?" "Too many." "But the point is that finally the Empire   is realizing that there is a better way." "And that way is Peace." "You don't trust me." "I have no reason to." "You have every reason." "If you had lived my life and experienced the suffering of my people," "You've be standing where I am." "If you had lived my life you would understand my responsibility to the Federation." "I cannot allow my personal feelings   to influence my decisions." "All I have are my personal feelings!" "I want to know what it means to be human." "The Remans have given me a future." "... but you can tell me about my past!" "I can tell you about my past." "Were we, Picards, always warriors?" "I think of myself as an explorer." "Were we always explorers?" "I was the first Picard to leave our solar system." "It caused quite a stir in the family." "But I've spent my youth ..." "Looking up at the stars, Dreaming about what was up there." "About new worlds ..." "I'm trying to believe you Shinzon." "If there is one ideal that the Federation holds most dearly ... it is that all man   all races can be united." "What better example" " A Starfleet captain ... standing in the Romulan Senate." "Nothing will make me more proud   than to take your hand in friendship." "In time ... when that trust has been earned." "Captain!" "we have had an unauthorized acces into the main computer." "Source?" "It's gonna take some time to figure that out, Captain." "The data streams were routed through substations all over the ship." "What programs were accessed?" "Well, that's what I can't figure it out." "It's mostly just basic stellar cartography." "Star charts, communications protocol, some uplinks from calling the tracking stations" "It's not even restricted material." "Nevertheless, we must learn the source." "Keep me informed." "Captain!" "There is something else." "I was reviewing the sensors modes." "Look at this!" "When the ............... there was a momentary spike in the ..............." "EM band." "There." "You're not gonna believe this." "It's Thalaron." "I thought Thalaron radiations were theoretically." "Which is why our initially scans didn't pick it up." "But he's got it Captain." "Thalaron research was banned by the Federation because of its biogenic properties." "It has the ability to consume organic materials at a subatomic level." "I can't overestimate the danger of Thalaron's radiation, Jean-Luc." "A microscopic ant could kill every living thing on this ship in a matter of seconds!" "I understand." "Keep on it." "How we can neutralize any threat?" "I need options." "This was a mistake we're wasting time." "My time." "And I should spend it how I choose." "Do not forget our mission, Shinzon." "We must act, now!" "We will return to the Cimitarra." "I was nearly curious about" "Come!" "Beverly, come in." "Remember him?" "He was a bit cocky as I recall." "He was a damn fool." "Selfish, ambitious" "Very much in need of .........." "He turned out all right." "I really wanted to believe Shinzon." "But these Thalaron radiation just can't be explained." "Whatever he's after, it isn't peace." "Is he very much the way you were?" "Oh, yes." "Data to Captain Picard." "Go ahead Data." "Captain, Geordi and I have identified the source of the unauthorized computer access." "And I believe we have found a way to gain a tactical advantage." "On my way." "Will." "As ship counselor, I recommend you get some sleep." "Some honey moon." "Come to bed." "Imzadi." "Imzadi." "He can never know you as I can" "He can never touch you as I can." "This isn't real!" "Feel my lips?" "I'm with you Imzadi." "I'll always be with you now." "This isn't real!" "Deanna, what's the matter?" "Deanna." "The bond has been broken." "Find her again." "Praetor." "We received the transponder signal." "It's accelerating." "You have no more time for games." "Have the doctors prepared." "Transport!" "Begin the download." "Tea." "Hot." "Aside from slightly elevated levels of adrenalin and serotonin, you're perfectly normal." "Deanna, can you describe it?" "It was   a violation." "Shinzon's viceroy seems to have the ability to reach into my thoughts." "I've became a liability." "I request to be relieved of my duties." "Permission denied." "If you can endure more of this assaults I need you on my side." "Now more than ever." "The Enterprise is far from Federation space ..." "Worf!" "Shields up!" "Hello, Jean-Luc." "Why am I here?" "Why have you done this?" "I was lonely ..." "What are you going to do?" "I need a sample of your blood." "What is it your borg friends saying?" "Resistance is futile." "Oh yes, the android." "the bate you can't refuse." "All of this so you can capture me?" "Don't be so vain." "After we found it we had to make a few modifications." "An extra-memory port, a hidden transponder." "I've now gain access to Starfleet communications protocol." "I now know the exact locations of your entire fleet." "You may go." "Where?" "Out of my sight." "What is all this about?" "It's about destiny, Picard." "It's about a Reman outcast!" "You're not Reman!" "And I'm not quite human!" "So what am I?" "My life is meaningless as long as you're still alive." "What am I while you exist?" "A shadow?" "An echo?" "If your issues are with me, than deal with me!" "These are nothing to do with my ship." "Nothing to do with the Federation!" "Oh, but it does!" "You are no longer bound before anyone were slaves!" "Not the Romulans and not your mighty Federation!" "We!" "are a race bred for war!" "And conquest." "Are you ready to plunge the entire quadrant into war just to satisfy your own personal demons?" "It amazes me how little you know yourself." "I'm incapable of such an act!" "You are me!" "The same noble Picard blood runs through our veins!" "Had you lived my life you'd be doing exactly as I am!" "So look in the mirror   see yourself." "Consider that, Captain." "I can't think of no greater torment for you." "Shinzon." "I'm a mirror for you as well." "Not for long, Captain!" "I'm afraid you won't survive to witness the victory of the echo over the voice!" "His clone ... it's perfect." "No tachyon emissions, no rezidual anti-protons." "Keep at it, Geordi." "Find a way in." "Praetor Shinzon ... needs the prisoner." "About time, Mr. Data." "My mission was a success, sir." "I've located the source of the radiations." "This entire ship is essentially a Thalaron generator." "Its power relays lead to an activation matrix on the bridge." "It's a weapon." "It would appear so." "What about the download?" "Shinzon believes he has our communication protocols." "They would give him inaccurate locations for all our Starfleet vessels," "Good work." "Sir!" "Geordi supplied me with a protoytpe for the emergency transport unit." "I recommend you use this sir to return to the Enterprise." "It'll only work for one of us." "Yes sir." "We'll find a way off together." "It is time for the procedure." "Move, puny human animal!" "A bit less exaggerated, don't you think Data?" "Kill him!" "This way, Sir." "There is a shuttle bay, 94 meters from our current position!" "There it is Sir!" "Go!" "Data!" "It appears to have an encrypted security system!" "A luck will be mostly appreciated, Commander!" "Reman is a most complex language with pictographs representing ..." "Through I find that a fascinating thing, we've really need that door open!" "Data!" "What do you imagine this is?" "Port thrusters, Sir." "Would you like me to drive, Sir?" "Data, can you open the shuttle bay doors?" "Negative Sir." "They have erected a force field around the external portals." "Well then ..." "Only one way to go." "Do you think this is a wise course of action Sir?" "We're about to find out Data ..." "Power up the disruptors ..." "Ready Captain." "Fire!" "Tractor beam, now!" "Worf, lock on transporter!" "I have them, Sir." "This has gone far enough." "I thought we discussed patience, Commander." "And mine is wearing thin." "We supported you because you promised action." "And yet you delay." "The Enterprise is imaterial." "They won't make it to the neutral zone." "And in two days, the Federation   will be crippled beyond repair." "Is that satisfy you?" "For the moment." "And when I return, you and I should have a little talk   about showing proper respect." "What's happening to its face?" "Commander!" "A moment." "Are you truly prepared to have your hands full of blood?" "He's not planning to defeat Earth." "He is planning its annihilation." "And his sins will mark us and our children, for generations." "The more I studied his DNA the more confusing it got." "Finally, I could come to only one conclusion:" "Shinzon was created with temporal ARN sequences." "He was designed to that at a certain point his ageing process could be accelerated   to reach your age more quickly." "He was engineered to skip 30 years of his life." "But when the temporal sequence wasn't activated his cellular structures start to breaking down." "He's dying." "Dying?" "Can anything be done for him?" "Nothing, except a complete transfusion from the only donor with compatible DNA." "You." "How long does he have?" "Oh, I can't say for sure." "But the rate of decay seems to be accelerating." "And he will come for me." "Brother." "I can not move." "No." "I have only activated your cognitive and communication subroutines." "Why?" "Because you are dangerous." "Why?" "You have been programmed to gather information that can be used against this ship." "I do not understand." "I know." "Do you know anything about Shinzon plans against the Federation?" "No." "Do you have any knowledge of the tactical abilities of this ship?" "No." "Can I move now?" "No." "What are you doing?" "I must deactivate you." "For how long?" "Indefinitely." "How long is ..." "A long time brother." "It's called a cascading biogenic pulse." "The unique properties of Thalaron radiation allow the energy beam to expand almost without limit." "Depending on its radiant intensity, it could face a ship   or a planet." "He would only have built a weapon of such scope for one reason:" "He's going after Earth." "How can you be certain?" "I know how he thinks." "Destroy humanity, you cripple the Federation." "The Romulans invade." "No way of penetrating his cloak?" "No." "So he could pass within 10 meters of every ship in Starfleet and they'd never know." "We do have one advantage though." "He needs your blood to live." "He might come after you first." "I'm counting on it." "We've been ordered to sector 1045." "Our fleet has been diverted to meet us there." "Strengthen numbers." "Yes." "At least that's what we hope." "He must not be allowed to use that weapon." "All other concerns are secondary." "You understand me?" "Yes Sir." "All hands   battle stations." "Initiate the force field!" "Captain's personal log, supplemental." "We're heading toward Federation space at maximum warp." "The crew has responded at the dedication I come to expect of them." "Like a thousand other commanders on a thousand other battlefields   I wait for the dawn." "How long?" "A matter of hours." "We must begin the procedure now." "How long until we reach the rift?" "7 minutes." "Data, what's our current position?" "How soon until we reach the fleet?" "At our current velocity we will arrive at sector 1045 in approximately 40 minutes Sir." ""And now we see the glass darkly"." "Sir?" "He said he is a mirror." "Of you, sir?" "Yes." "I do not agree." "Although you share the same genetic structure   the events of your life have created a unique individual." "If I had lived his life is it possible that I would have rejected my humanity?" "The B4 is physically identical to me   although his neuropath ways are not as advanced." "But even if they were, he would not be me." "How can you be sure?" "I aspire Sir." "To be better that I am." "... B4 does not, nor does Shinzon." "We are passing through the Beazen rift, Sir." "The projection will return when we've cleared it." "Is it interfering with our uplink from Starfleet cartography?" "The rift affects all long range communications ..." "Commander Riker, evasive maneuvers!" "Target weapon systems and shields." "I don't want the Enterprise destroyed." "Can you learn to see in the dark, Captain?" "Report!" "He's firing from the cloak We can't get a lock." "He disabled our warp drive with his first shot." "We only have ..............." "Mr. Worf, prepare the full phasers, spread 0 elevation." "All banks on my mark." "Scan for shield impact, stand by, photon torpedoes." "Yes Sir!" "Fire!" "You're too slow old man." "Attack pattern Shinzon theta." "We are losing dorsal shields!" "Full access rotational port!" "Fire all ventral phasers!" "Minimal damage to the Cimitarra." "Defensive pattern Kirk Epsilon." "And get the shields on line Geordi." "Already on it!" "Counselor Troy, report to the bridge!" "Captain!" "We are being hailed." "On screen." "Captain Picard." "Will you join me?" "You can't trace my holographic emitters captain." "So don't bother." "And you can't contact Starfleet." "It's just the two of us Jean-Luc." "As it should be." "Why are you here?" "To accept your surrender." "I can clearly destroy you at any time." "Lower your shields and allow me to transport you to my ship." "And the Enterprise?" "I have little interest in your queen vessel, Captain." "Look at me Shinzon." "Your heart, your hands, your eyes are the same as mine!" "The blood pumping within you." "The raw material is the same." "We have the same potential." "That's the past Captain." "It can be the Future!" "Very deep within you, beneath all the years of pain and anger   there's something that is never been nerfed   the potential to make yourself a better man." "And that is what it is: to be human." "To make yourself more than you are." "Oh yes." "I know you." "There was a time you looked at the stars   and dreamed about what might be." "Childish dreams Captain." "Lost in the Dilithium mines of Remus." "I am what you see now." "I see more than that." "I see what you could be." "The man who is Shinzon of Remus and Jean-Luc Picard   could never exterminate the population of an entire planet." "He is better that that." "He is what his life has made him." "And what will you do with that life?" "Wasted in the blaze of hatred ..." "There is a better way." "No, it's too late." "Never, never!" "You still have a choice." "Make the right one now." "I can't fake what I am!" "Yes you can!" "I'll show you my true nature." "Our nature." "And when Earth dies   I will always forever be remembered as Shinzon of Remus!" "And my voice shall echo through time   long after yours is faded to the dim memory!" "Two ships decloaking sir!" "Romulan!" "Captain!" "Just when I thought this couldn't get any worse." "We are being hailed." "On screen." "Captain Picard, commander Donatra of the warbird Valdore." "Might we be of assistance?" "Assistance?" "The Empire considers this a matter of internal security." "We regret you become involved." "Commander, when this is over   I owe you a drink." "Romulan drink Captain." "Let's get to work!" "You heard the Lady!" "Let's go to work!" "Mr. Worf, coordinate our attack with the Valdorre tactical officer." "Triangulate all fire on any shield impact!" "Yes sir." "Shields down to 40%!" "Keep our bow on the Cimitarra." "Auxiliary power to forward shields!" "Yes sir." "Target the flanking warbird." "All 4 disruptor banks on my mark." "Forward shields down to 10%!" "bring us about!" "Drop cloak on the offboard quadrant ... prepare for full emergency stop!" "What?" "You heard me!" "He is losing his cloak!" "Stand by all forward disruptors banks." "She's almost on us!" "Not yet." "Praetor!" "Full stop!" "Fire!" "Restore the off-cloak and bring us about." "I'm afraid that drink will have to wait, Captain." "You have life support?" "For the moment." "But we're dead in the water." "Understood." "We are losing structural integrity on decks 12 through 17   sections 4 thru 10." "Emergency force fields are holding!" "Evacuate those decks and reroute field power to forward shields." "Captain." "I think I may have a way to find them." "Prepare for a lateral run!" "... all starboard disruptors." "What is it?" "She's here." "He's resisting." "No!" "Remember me?" "Now!" "Fire at will!" "Prepare a boarding party!" "Bring me Picard!" "You!" "Get the cloak back!" "Target all shields coordinates, beta 3!" "All disruptors, fire!" "Captain we've lost central shielding on deck 29!" "Divert all power and compensate." "Intruder alert!" "Number One?" "Let's go!" "Security team at deck 29!" "The Romulans fought with honor." "Yes they did Mr. Worf." "Worf, cover me." "Medical teams to the bridge." "Report!" "We've exhausted our complemental photon torpedoes ..." "Phaser banks are down to 4%." "Are we targeted all our phasers in a concentrated pattern." "Cimitarra's shields are still at 70%." "It'll make no difference, Captain." "We have damage on all decks." "What's he doing?" "He wants to look me in the eye." "We've got him!" "He thinks he knows exactly what am I going to do." "... Geordi   Divert all power to the engines   take it from life support if you have to   give me everything you got." "Ready Captain." "We are being hail Sir." "Deanna stand by." "Open a channel." "I hope you're still alive Jean-Luc." "Oh yes I am." "Don't you think it's time to surrender?" "Why should the rest of your crew have to die?" "Shinzon, I don't think I ever told you   about my first Academy evaluation." "In particular, I was thought to be extremely   overconfident." "Captain, as much as I enjoy listen to you talk, I really think ..." "On my mark Deanna." "All hand, prepare for impact!" "Engage." "Back!" "Divert all power to the engines." "Full reverse!" "Computer stand by autodestruct sequence Omega ..." "Recognize voice pattern Jean-Luc Picard, authorization Alpha-Alpha-305" "Autodestruct is off-line." "Disruptors are not functional Sir." "Deploy the weapon." "Kill everything on that ship." "Then set a course for Earth." "We must complete our mission." "Matrix initiated." "Sequence in procedure for Thalaron radiation transfer." "Activated." "Some ideals are worth dying for, aren't they Jean-Luc?" "Thalaron intermix procedure initiated." "Deploying the targeting arms, commencing." "How long until he can fly?" "The targeting sequence should take about 7 minutes Captain." "When the targeting arms are fully deployed   the matrix on the bridge will relay the Thalaron radiation to the firing points at their tips." "No one at the Enterprise will survive." "How can he, he'll kill you!" "It's not about me anymore!" "Prepare for a site-to-site transport." "Captain, I don't think that a transport ..." "That's an order Commander!" "Sir, allow me to go!" "Data, this is something I have to do!" "Sir." "Data." "You have the bridge Commander." "Try and put some distance between you and the Cimitarra" "Now Mr. LaForge." "Yes sir." "That's it." "Transporters are down." "Counselor Troy   please assume command   Geordi, come with me." "Thalaron intermix level: 30%." "4 minutes to firing sequence." "Thalaron intermix level: 50%" "3 minutes to firing sequence." "Thalaron intermix level: 60%" "2 minutes to the firing sequence." "Thalaron intermix level: 80%" "I'm glad we're together now ..." "Our destiny is complete." "One minute to firing sequence." "Thalaron intermix level completed." "30 seconds to firing sequence." "Good bye." "10 9" "8 7" "6 5" "4 3" "Data?" "Captain?" "It's Data." "Captain, we're being hailed." "On screen." "Open a channel." "This is Commander Donatra of the Valdore." "We're dispatching shuttles with medical personnel and supplies." "Thank you Commander." "You've earned a friend in the Romulan Empire today Captain." "I hope the first of many." "Valdore out." "Geordi   prepare the shuttle bays for the arrivals." "They don't know our procedures   just open the doors." "I'll take care of it Captain." "You have the bridge Number One." "Thank you." "To absent friens   to family." "First time I sow Data he was ........." "against a tree in the holodeck ... trying to whistle." "Funniest thing I ever sow." "No matter what he did he couldn't get the toon right." "What was that song ..." "Can't remember the song." "Come." "Will." "Permission to disembark Sir." "Granted." "So, where's the tighten off to?" "The neutral zone." "We're heading up the new task force." "Apparently, the Romulans aren't talking." "Well, I can't think of a better man for the job." "If I may, just a word of advice about your first command?" "Anything." "When your first officer insist that you can't go on away missions   ignore him." "I intend to." "Serving with you   it's been an honor." "The honor was mine, Captain." "I don't know if all this is made any sense   but I wanted you to know what kind of men he was." "... in his quest to be more like us." "He helped us to see what it means to be human." "My   brother was not human." "No." "He wasn't." "But his wander, his curiosity about every fact of the human nature   allowed all of us too see the best parts of ourselves." "He evolved   he embraced change   because he always wanted to be better than he was." "I   do not understand." "Well, I hope some day you will." "Captain, the warp engines are ready to go online." "I'm on my way." "Please inform commander LaForge." "We'll talk later." ""Never sow the sun   shining so bright ..." "Never sow things" "Going so right."
