"Yuk!" " I never kissed you with a beard." " I kiss you, and you say 'yuk'!" "I reconstructed Data's neural net and replaced these memory engrams." " How were they damaged?" " By a Son'a weapon." " He malfunctioned after they fired?" " I believe so." " Why would they fire on him first?" " A shot caused him to malfunction." "His ethical subroutines then took over." "So he still knewthe difference between right and wrong." "The system prevents anyone from taking advantage of his memory loss." "Yet he attacked us and told the Ba'ku we were a threat."

"How about a passive radiation scan?" "There appear to be strong neutrino emissions coming from the lake." "Can he breathe underwater?" "." "Data doesn't breathe." " Won't he rust?" " No." "Captain!" "I believe I know what is causing the neutrino emissions." "The vessel is clearly Federation in origin." ""Just a few loose ends to tie up!"" " We're not interested in this." " I am." " It would be wiser ..." " I'm going with you." "It is a holographic projection." "Incomplete, I might add." "This is a computer-driven image created by photons and forcefields." "I know what a hologram is." "Why would anyone want to create one of our village?" "If you were following the children and discovered this ship ..." "I may have been shot to protect the secret of its existence." "Why would they duplicate this village except to deceive the Ba'ku?" " Deceive us?" " To move you off this planet." "You'd fall asleep in your village   and wake up on this flying holodeck." "Transported en masse, and in a few days   relocated on a similar planet without ever realising it." "Why would the Federation wish to move the Ba'ku?" "I don't know." "Computer, end program." "De-cloakthe vessel." "Help!" "I can't swim." "Don't panic." "I've been shot at on a ship that has come to abduct us." "What's there to panic about?" "For water landings, I am designed to serve as a flotation device." "Did the hostages mention anything about a cloaked ship?" " No, sir." " Debrief them again." " Have you been in a fight?" " No, it is a gorch." "A pimple, sir." "Well... it's hardly noticeable."

" Picard to Crusher." "The Son'a hostages declined to be examined." " And our people?" " They're fine." "In fact they're better than fine." "Improved muscle tone, high energy." "Very well, Doctor." "Don't release the Son'a officers until I've talked to Ahdar Ru'afo." "Commander, may I ..?" "Computer, music." " Not that, something Latin." " "Specify."" "The mambo." "That's more like it." "How old are you?" "Our solar system was on the verge of self-annihilation." "Technology had created weapons that threatened to destroy all life." "A small group of us set off to find a new home." "A home that would be isolated from the threats of other worlds." " That was 309 years ago." " And you haven't aged since then." "I was a lot older when we arrived, in terms of my physical condition." "There's a metaphasic radiation coming from the planet's rings." "It regenerates our genetic structure." " You must have noticed the effects." " We've just begun to." " I suppose you're 75." " No, I'm 12." "The radiation won't affect him until he reaches maturity." "What you have here is more valuable than gold-pressed latinum." "That's the reason someone may be trying to take your world from you." "The android was right." "If it wasn't for Data, it's probable that you would be relocated by now." "The moment we pick up a weapon we become one of them." " We lose everything we are." " It may not come to that." "The architects of this conspiracy want to keep it a secret." "Not only from you, but from my people, as well." "I don't intend to let them." "We've always known that to survive we had to remain apart." "Many of the young people want to know more about the offland." "They're attracted to stories of a faster pace of life." "Most of my people would sell their souls to slow life down." "But not you?" "There are days." "You don't live up to your reputation as an offlander." "In defence of offlanders, there are many more people like me." "Who wouldn't be tempted by the promise of perpetual youth?" "You give me more credit than I deserve." "Of course I'm tempted." "But some of the darkest chapters in the history of my world   involve the forced relocation of one people to satisfy another." "I had hoped that we had learned from our mistakes,   but it seems that some of us haven't." " Extraordinary craftsmanship." " It's the work of students." "They're almost ready to become apprentices." "In 30 or 40 years some of them will become artisans." "Apprenticing for 30 years ..." "Did your people's mental discipline develop here?" "More questions." "Always the explorer." " If you stay, that will change." " Will it?" "You stop reviewing the past, stop planning for tomorrow." "Let me ask you a question:" "Have you ever experienced a perfect moment in time?" "When time seemed to stop, and you could almost live in that moment?" "Seeing my home planet from space, for the first time." "Yes, exactly." "Nothing more complicated than perception." "You explore the universe." "We discovered that a single moment in time can be a universe in itself." "Full of powerful forces." "Most people aren't aware enough of the "now"to even notice." "I wish I could spare a few centuries to learn." "It took us centuries to learn that it doesn't have to take that long." "There's one thing I don't understand." "In 300 years, you never learned to swim?" "I haven't got around to it yet." "I wonder if you're aware of the trust you engender." " It's unusual ..." " For an offlander?" "." "For someone so young." " Geordi?" " Captain." "There wasn't anything wrong with my implants." "There was something right with my eyes." "Dr Crusher found that the cells around my optic nerve had   started to regenerate." "It may not last." "And if it doesn't   I just wanted, before we go ..." "You know, I've never seen a sunrise." "At least not the way you see them." "Come." "Am I to understand that you're not releasing my men?" "We found the holoship." " Let the captain and me ..." " No!" "This entire mission has been one Federation blunder after another." "Return my men, or this alliance will end with your ship's destruction." "You're looking well, Jean-Luc." "Rested." "I won't let you move them." "I will take this to the Federation Council." "I'm acting on their orders." "To abandon our prime directive?" "These people are not indigenous." "They're not meant to be immortal." "We'll be restoring them to their natural evolution." "Who the hell are we to determine the course of evolution?" "There are 600 people there." "The regenerative properties of this radiation could help billions." "The Son'a can collect metaphasic particles from the planet's rings." " The planet is in Federation space." " Our planet, their technology." "A technology we can't duplicate." "You know what that makes us?" " Partners." " Our partners are petty thugs." "On Earth, petroleum once turned petty thugs into world leaders." "Warp drive created a Romulan empire." "We can handle the Son'a." "We probably said the same about the Romulans." "Lifespans will be doubled." "An entire new medical science will evolve." "Your chief engineer has the use of his eyes for the first time." "Will you take that away from him?" "With the whole Briar Patch, why does it have to be this one planet?" "The concentration in the rings makes it work." "They'll inject something into the rings and start a reaction." " The planet will be uninhabitable." " Delay them, let us study it." "Our best scientific minds can't find any other way to do this." "The Son'a can establish a separate colony on the planet until we do." "It would take ten years' exposure to reverse their condition." "Some of them won't survive that long." "Besides, who would want to live in the Briar Patch?" "The Ba'ku." "We are betraying the principles upon which the Federation was founded." "It's an attack upon its very soul." "And it will destroy the Ba'ku." "Cultures have been destroyed in every forced relocation in history." "Jean-Luc, we're only moving 600 people." "How many people does it take before it becomes wrong?" "1,000?" "50,000?" "A million?" "How many people does it take?" "You'll proceed to the Goren system, and release the Son'a officers." "File whatever protests you wish to." "By the time you do, this will all be done." "Gallatin!" "The righteous Starfleet captain finally released you." " Any problems on the surface?" " No, sir." "But it wasn't easy being among them." "Just don't forget what they did to us." "We'll have them rounded up in a day or two." "We needn't bother with a holoship anymore." "Get the holding cells ready." "I'm going to miss these little flesh-stretching sessions of ours." "Re-routing the transport grid to avoid detection was wise." "However, the transporter is rarely used after 02:00 hours." " Going out for a spin?" " Seven tons of explosives." "Tetryon pulse launchers and isomagnetic disintegrators." " A hunting trip?" " Return to your quarters." " That's an order." " No uniform, no orders." "How can I look at a sunrise, knowing what my sight cost these people?" "Exposure could stimulate rebellious instincts common to youth   which would affect everyone's judgement ... except mine." "What do you think we should do?" "Saddle up." "Lock and load." "They won't begin the procedure while the planet is inhabited." "Our job is to keep the planet inhabited." "We'll show what's happening here." "Make the Council "see" the Ba'ku." "Then it won't be so easy to turn a blind eye to their suffering." " I'll be back before you know it." " We'll hold out as long as we can." "The injector performs perfectly in every simulation." "The Enterprise left orbit, but a support craft is on the surface." "It's the Captain's yacht." "Five persons on board." "We're not waiting." "Get everyone off the surface tonight." "Gallatin." "If Picard or any of his people interfere ... eliminate them." "We're leaving the village." "Take only what you need." "Bring food." "We may not be back for days." "It's a transport inhibitor." "It will prevent anyone being beamed off the surface." "Kelbonite in the hills will interfere with their transporters." "Where there aren't any deposits we'll use transport inhibitors." "The mountains are full of kelbonite." " Transport will be difficult there." " There are caves in the mountains." "Good, but they're not going to make it easy for us to get there." "Captain, we activated the transport inhibitors around the village." "Move these people out!" " The transporters won't function." " They're using inhibitors." "Locate and destroy them." "You're carrying too much." "We have a long climb ahead of us." "Three transport inhibitors down." "There's a gap in the field." "Father!" "Kelbonite deposits are blocking our transporters." " Recommendations?" " Let me talkto Picard." "Talk!" "We should send down an assault team." "If people get hurt, all the support we have in the Federation ..." "Federation support, Federation procedures, Federation rules." "Look in the mirror, the Federation is old." "In the past 24 months, they've been challenged by every major power." "The Borg, the Cardassians, the Dominion." "They all smell the scent of death on the Federation." "You embraced our offer to give the Federation new life." "How badly do you want it?" "There are hard choices to be made." "If news gets through of your captain's brave struggle, " " Federation politicians will waver." "There will be a public debate." "Federation allies will want their say ..." "Need I go on?" "Isolinear tags would allow our transporters to lock onto them." "We'd have to tag every one of them." "We don't have the time." "In 19 hours the Enterprise will be able to contact the Federation." " I'll order Riker to turn around." " Picard's first officer." "Do you really believe he'll listen?" "My ships could intercept the Enterprise." "I could send them to   escort it back." "But Commander Riker might not want to come." "Send your ships." " Do you like being a machine?" " I aspire to be more than I am." "I know why." "So people like us won't be afraid of you anymore." "Don't you ever get tired?" "My power cells continually recharge themselves." "I can't imagine what it's like to be a machine." "I have often tried to imagine what it is like to be a child." "Really?" "." "For one thing, your legs are shorter than everyone else's." "But they are in a constant state of growth." " Is it difficult to adapt?" " Adapt?" "A child's specifications change from one moment to the next." " Do you trip over your own feet?" " Sometimes." "My legs are exactly 87.2 cm in length." "They were 87.2 cm the day I was created." "They will be 87.2 cm the day I go off-line." "I depend on specifications that do not change." "I will never experience growing up or tripping over my own feet." "But you've never had adults telling you what to do all the time." "I'd accept that in exchange for knowing what childhood is like." " Do machines ever play?" "." " I play the violin." " My chess is quite advanced." " No, I mean play for fun." "Androids do not have fun." "If you want to know what it's like to be a child, learn to play." " Captain." " Worf, you need a haircut." "Rapid hair growth is experienced by Klingons during Jaktahla." "Puberty." "Although for a Klingon that scarcely does it justice." "Any mood swings or aggressive tendencies, you let me know at once." "Yes, sir." "The Ba'ku need some rest." "According to the geo-scan, this is a safe area." "Very well, break out some rations." "The caves are just over that ridge." "We can hide there." "The Son'a will knowthat as well as we do." "It's been 300 years since I've seen a bald man." "Why did you never marry?" "." "Don't tell me it's because you haven't got around to it yet." "What's the rush?" "I should warn you, I've always been attracted to older women." "How are you doing this?" "No more questions." " Two Son'a ships approaching." " ETA?" " 18 minutes." " We can't transmit for one hour." " They're hailing us." " Tell them our receiver is down." " I don't thinkthey believe us." " Why not?" "Photon torpedo." "A universal method of communication." "Yes, when you don't like someone." " Full impulse." " The manifolds can't handle it." "If we don't outrun them, it won't matter." " I'll be in engineering." " Battle stations!" "Have your boobs started to firm up?" "Not that we care about such things in this day and age." "Thank you, Data." "I've an odd craving for the blood of a live Kolar beast." "This environment is affecting me." "Have you noticed how your boobs have started to firm up?" "Take cover!" "Isolinear tags." "Transporters can lock onto them." "There's a cavern at the base of the next hill." " Shields at 60%." " "Engineering to bridge."" "We're going to blow ourselves up without help from the Son'a!" " What's inside that nebula cluster?" "." " Cometary debris." "Metreon gas." " We don't want go in there." " Yes, we do." "It's time to use the Briar Patch the way Brer Rabbit did." "Inside the caves, quickly." "This way." "Aggressive tendencies." "They've detonated an isolytic burst." "A subspace tear is forming." "Subspace weapons were banned by the Khitomer accord." " I'll lodge a protest." " Our warp core is magnetised." "We're pulling the tear like a zipper across space." " We could eject the core." " Will that stop the tear?" "." "You got me." " Is that your expert opinion?" " It might neutralise the cascade." "Subspace weapons are unpredictable." "That's why they're banned." "The tear is closing on us." "Impact in 15 seconds." "Eject the core." " I just did." " lmpact in ten seconds." "Detonate!" "Get me a medic over here." "It worked." "The tear is sealed." "But there's nothing to stop them from doing it again." " Transmission range: 36 minutes." " We're through running." "Another 43 reported taken." "They're trying to drive us out so their drones can tag us." "The structural integrity of this cavern won't hold for long." " Is there another way out of here?" " Let's trackthe water's course." "I'm reading a nitrogen-oxygen flow behind that calcite formation." "Will this structure hold if we blast through?" "I believe it is safe." "Fire." "Get everybody into those caves." "Set up a forcefield." " Are those pockets of metreon gas?" " Yes, highly volatile." "I want to use the ram-scoop to collect as much of it as we can." " The purpose being?" " To shove it down their throats." " If the gas ignites ..." " It's our only way out of here." "History will remember this as the Riker manoeuvre." "Access manual steering column." " Controls to manual." " "Storage cells are at maximum."" "They're powering forward weapons." "Blow out the ram-scoop." ""Ram"-"scoop released."" "Captain." " Keep these people moving." " Bring them out." "It won't be long before the drones get here." "Keep moving!" "There are caves on higher ground." "We'll be safe there." "Take a look at this med-scan." "His DNA profile." " How can that be possible?" " Maybe we should askthem." "Artim, what are you doing?" "Come!" "Is this the last group?" "Get them ready to move out." "Anij went to find Artim." " Go with Tournel!" " No, I want to stay with you!" " Worf to Picard!" " Two life-signs, one is faint." "There are almost four metric tons of rock blocking our way." "That might cause another cave-in." "Anij?" " "Worf to Picard."" " Yes, I can hear you." "We're trying to get to you, sir." "Anij ..." "Help is on the way." " Hurry, Anij is hurt." " "How bad is she?"" " I'm losing her." " "We're coming as fast as we can."" "Anij, stay with me." "Help me find the power to keep you in this moment."
