PICARD:
Captain's log, stardate 42609.1.
2
00:00:07,215 --> 00:00:10,259
In response to a desperate plea
from my old friend,
3
00:00:10,468 --> 00:00:13,012
Captain Donald Varley
of the USS Yamato,
4
00:00:13,221 --> 00:00:15,973
I'm running a grave risk
by taking the Enterprise
5
00:00:16,182 --> 00:00:17,975
into the Neutral Zone.
6
00:00:18,184 --> 00:00:20,853
Varley's request was prompted
by dangerous malfunctions
7
00:00:21,062 --> 00:00:22,688
which have been plaguing
our sister ship.
8
00:00:23,064 --> 00:00:24,940
Perhaps with both crews
working together,
9
00:00:25,150 --> 00:00:26,734
we can eliminate the problems
10
00:00:26,943 --> 00:00:30,446
before our presence is detected
by the Romulans.
11
00:00:33,867 --> 00:00:36,326
How long to rendezvous,
Mr. Crusher?
12
00:00:36,536 --> 00:00:39,329
Four minutes and 33 seconds, sir.
13
00:00:39,539 --> 00:00:41,290
Status of download, Mr. Data?
14
00:00:41,499 --> 00:00:44,043
The Yamato log should be
in our computer by rendezvous, sir.
15
00:00:44,252 --> 00:00:46,545
Have you nailed down
our little hiccup yet?
16
00:00:46,755 --> 00:00:48,297
- Sir?
- The odd reading?
17
00:00:48,506 --> 00:00:50,382
No, sir. It might be due to problems
18
00:00:50,592 --> 00:00:53,427
currently being experienced
by the Yamato.
19
00:00:55,055 --> 00:00:56,472
Trouble, Number One?
20
00:00:56,973 --> 00:00:59,391
I'm not sure, sir.
Are we alone out here, Worf?
21
00:00:59,601 --> 00:01:03,187
Yes, sir. There are no other vessels
in the area except the Yamato,
22
00:01:03,396 --> 00:01:06,440
which is coming
into visual range now.
23
00:01:06,649 --> 00:01:08,233
At last.
24
00:01:10,111 --> 00:01:11,904
WORF:
Transmission from the Yamato, sir.
25
00:01:12,072 --> 00:01:13,781
PICARD:
On viewer.
26
00:01:15,033 --> 00:01:16,658
Donald.
27
00:01:17,619 --> 00:01:20,537
What's a nice Starfleet captain like you
doing in a place like this?
28
00:01:20,955 --> 00:01:22,873
It's good to see you again,
Jean-Luc,
29
00:01:23,083 --> 00:01:25,334
despite your antique humor.
30
00:01:25,543 --> 00:01:28,295
I only hope your people
are able to help us.
31
00:01:28,505 --> 00:01:31,882
Malfunctions are becoming serious.
32
00:01:32,509 --> 00:01:34,718
We lost an Engineering team.
33
00:01:34,928 --> 00:01:38,847
The computer shut down a force field
in an open shuttle bay.
34
00:01:39,724 --> 00:01:41,767
Eighteen people.
35
00:01:43,895 --> 00:01:45,646
Do you have any idea
what caused this, sir?
36
00:01:45,855 --> 00:01:48,774
None. They're affecting every system
simultaneously.
37
00:01:48,983 --> 00:01:51,860
It's like the ship suddenly
decided to fall apart.
38
00:01:52,070 --> 00:01:55,114
It's beginning to make me think that
we should've run Galaxy-class ships
39
00:01:55,323 --> 00:01:58,158
across a few more drawing boards
before we built one.
40
00:01:58,493 --> 00:02:00,452
You believe it's a design flaw?
41
00:02:00,662 --> 00:02:03,956
I don't know.
I'm grasping at straws here.
42
00:02:04,165 --> 00:02:05,707
All I know is we've got to get it fixed
43
00:02:05,917 --> 00:02:08,544
and before I lose more
than an Engineering team.
44
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:09,962
Do you wish to evacuate
45
00:02:10,171 --> 00:02:12,631
any non-essential personnel
to the Enterprise, sir?
46
00:02:12,841 --> 00:02:16,009
No. No, that would be premature.
47
00:02:16,386 --> 00:02:19,304
Donald, we'll get our teams
to work on it immediately.
48
00:02:19,514 --> 00:02:21,473
I'm sure neither of us
feels too comfortable
49
00:02:21,683 --> 00:02:23,308
sitting around in the Neutral Zone.
50
00:02:23,726 --> 00:02:27,229
I know what you're thinking.
What the hell am I doing here?
51
00:02:27,438 --> 00:02:33,318
Well, I heard rumors
about a couple of archaeological digs
52
00:02:33,528 --> 00:02:37,072
that started making the Iconians
sound a lot less like legend.
53
00:02:37,407 --> 00:02:41,118
I did a little investigating
and I located their home-world.
54
00:02:41,327 --> 00:02:42,870
In the Neutral Zone?
55
00:02:43,079 --> 00:02:44,788
In the Neutral Zone.
56
00:02:45,290 --> 00:02:50,169
Donald, that was quite a risk to run
to satisfy archaeological curiosity.
57
00:02:50,587 --> 00:02:54,756
The risk would be in allowing
the Romulans to locate Iconia.
58
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,429
Fortunately, I got there first.
59
00:03:01,097 --> 00:03:03,056
It's a virtually dead planet.
60
00:03:03,266 --> 00:03:05,517
Enough technology remains
61
00:03:05,727 --> 00:03:09,479
to give the Romulans an edge,
if they should find it.
62
00:03:10,899 --> 00:03:13,275
Donald,
your transmission is breaking up.
63
00:03:13,484 --> 00:03:15,277
Mr. Data, try and clean that up.

[PANEL BEEPING]
65
00:03:16,863 --> 00:03:20,616
Sir, there is an energy buildup
in the Yamato's Engineering section.
66
00:03:22,327 --> 00:03:24,912
Yamato, this is the Enterprise.
67
00:03:25,246 --> 00:03:27,414
Yamato, come in.
68
00:03:27,916 --> 00:03:31,543
Captain, magnetic seals in the
antimatter chamber are decaying.
69
00:03:31,753 --> 00:03:33,253
Captain.
70
00:03:33,630 --> 00:03:35,714
Donald, come in!
71
00:03:39,135 --> 00:03:40,677
Shields up.
72
00:03:40,845 --> 00:03:42,930
[RED ALERT SOUNDING]
73
00:03:46,100 --> 00:03:47,726
Sir...
74
00:03:50,563 --> 00:03:54,691
Sensors indicate
no life readings, sir.
75
00:04:00,907 --> 00:04:01,949
WORF:
Captain.
76
00:04:02,325 --> 00:04:05,744
Another vessel is coming
within sensor range.
77
00:04:06,079 --> 00:04:07,621
It is Romulan.
78
00:04:30,853 --> 00:04:34,982
PICARD:
Space, the final frontier.
79
00:04:35,692 --> 00:04:39,611
These are the voyages
of the starship Enterprise.
80
00:04:39,821 --> 00:04:45,033
Its continuing mission:
to explore strange new worlds,
81
00:04:45,618 --> 00:04:49,746
to seek out new life
and new civilizations,
82
00:04:50,206 --> 00:04:54,626
to boldly go where no one
has gone before.
83
00:05:50,516 --> 00:05:52,434
PICARD:
Captain's log, supplemental.
84
00:05:52,602 --> 00:05:55,395
The Yamato's entire crew
and their families,
85
00:05:55,605 --> 00:05:58,231
more than a thousand people,
have been lost.
86
00:05:58,441 --> 00:06:03,195
Circumstances unfortunately
permit us no pause for grief.
87
00:06:03,946 --> 00:06:06,073
No response
from the Romulan vessel.
88
00:06:06,282 --> 00:06:09,076
Arm phasers
and prepare to lock on target.
89
00:06:09,285 --> 00:06:11,244
Did they attack the Yamato?
90
00:06:11,788 --> 00:06:13,580
Unknown, sir.
91
00:06:13,956 --> 00:06:16,500
WORF: All their weapon systems
have been fully activated.
92
00:06:16,709 --> 00:06:18,794
Still no response.
93

Romulan vessel,
94
00:06:21,130 --> 00:06:24,841
this is Captain Jean-Luc Picard
of the USS Enterprise.
95
00:06:27,512 --> 00:06:28,929
TARIS:
Captain Picard.
96
00:06:30,890 --> 00:06:33,850
Explain your illegal presence
in the Neutral Zone.
97
00:06:34,060 --> 00:06:36,269
Explain yours.
98
00:06:36,646 --> 00:06:39,523
Are you responsible
for the destruction of the Yamato?
99
00:06:40,024 --> 00:06:43,193
No. But believe me, captain,
100
00:06:43,403 --> 00:06:46,988
had we chosen to exercise our right
to defend the Neutral Zone,
101
00:06:47,198 --> 00:06:50,242
we would not have stopped
with one starship.
102
00:06:50,451 --> 00:06:53,161
You will leave at once.
103
00:06:57,083 --> 00:06:58,875
- WORF: Mute.
- Comments?
104
00:06:59,085 --> 00:07:00,419
She's extremely anxious.
105
00:07:00,628 --> 00:07:03,422
Understandable if she just destroyed
a Federation starship.
106
00:07:03,631 --> 00:07:05,090
Your scan was inconclusive.
107
00:07:05,299 --> 00:07:07,050
We don't know what happened
to the Yamato.
108
00:07:07,385 --> 00:07:09,553
Our presence in the Neutral Zone
is provocative.
109
00:07:09,762 --> 00:07:12,305
It could force her to respond.
110
00:07:17,895 --> 00:07:19,187
Open.
111
00:07:19,397 --> 00:07:21,648
We will comply
112
00:07:21,858 --> 00:07:25,068
when I have determined the cause
of the destruction of the Yamato,
113
00:07:25,278 --> 00:07:28,864
and when I am fully satisfied that you
were not responsible. Picard out.
114
00:07:32,243 --> 00:07:33,952
They're engaging
their cloaking device.
115
00:07:34,162 --> 00:07:36,663
Good.
They can't fire when they're cloaked.
116
00:07:36,873 --> 00:07:39,749
Unless they have overcome
that deficiency.
117
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:42,544
The Yamato was destroyed
while they were cloaked.
118
00:07:42,753 --> 00:07:45,881
Enough. Answers.
I want answers, not conjecture.
119
00:07:46,090 --> 00:07:48,758
Number One, I want them
at a staff meeting in one hour.
120
00:07:48,968 --> 00:07:50,427
RIKER:
Aye, sir.
121
00:07:55,266 --> 00:07:57,601
Sensor recordings reveal
that what we witnessed
122
00:07:57,810 --> 00:08:02,355
was an uncontrolled and catastrophic
matter-antimatter mix.
123
00:08:02,565 --> 00:08:05,609
The magnetic seals between
the chambers collapsed and--
124
00:08:05,818 --> 00:08:07,360
PICARD:
Wait, wait.
125
00:08:07,945 --> 00:08:09,446
That's not possible.
126
00:08:09,655 --> 00:08:10,739
Yes, sir, it is,
127
00:08:10,948 --> 00:08:12,782
but a highly improbable
set of circumstances
128
00:08:12,992 --> 00:08:15,535
has to take place
for such a result to occur.
129
00:08:16,204 --> 00:08:17,621
Explain.
130
00:08:18,247 --> 00:08:21,374
Okay. In the event
of a breach of seal integrity,
131
00:08:21,584 --> 00:08:25,420
there's an emergency release system
which dumps the antimatter.
132
00:08:25,630 --> 00:08:28,548
Apparently such a dump began,
was then halted,
133
00:08:28,758 --> 00:08:30,550
and the containment seals
were dropped.
134
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,596
There was still sufficient antimatter
present to lead to an explosion.
135
00:08:34,805 --> 00:08:37,557
And so there is no evidence
that a weapon was used?
136
00:08:38,059 --> 00:08:39,643
No, sir. None.
137
00:08:39,852 --> 00:08:42,854
However it happened,
the Yamato did it to herself.
138
00:08:43,314 --> 00:08:45,106
Theorize.
139
00:08:45,525 --> 00:08:49,027
What could have caused
such a catastrophic malfunction?
140
00:08:49,445 --> 00:08:51,988
Well, I think Captain Varley
may have been right.
141
00:08:52,198 --> 00:08:54,282
There may be a design flaw.
142
00:08:54,492 --> 00:08:57,327
- In a Galaxy-class starship?
- LA FORGE: Yes, sir.
143
00:08:57,537 --> 00:09:00,288
It's the most sophisticated
piece of machinery ever built.
144
00:09:00,498 --> 00:09:02,207
Something
could have been overlooked.
145
00:09:02,833 --> 00:09:04,459
Knowing where the flaw is located,
146
00:09:04,669 --> 00:09:07,337
can you isolate the problem
and solve it?
147
00:09:07,547 --> 00:09:09,673
We're already working on it, sir.
148
00:09:10,132 --> 00:09:11,800
Pull any personnel you can use.
149
00:09:15,596 --> 00:09:18,014
If we have established
that the Romulans
150
00:09:18,224 --> 00:09:20,725
were not responsible
for the destruction of the Yamato,
151
00:09:21,394 --> 00:09:23,645
would it not be prudent to withdraw?
152
00:09:25,481 --> 00:09:28,316
If it is a design flaw,
we're better to stay where we are
153
00:09:28,526 --> 00:09:30,986
and give Geordi time to work on it.
154
00:09:31,445 --> 00:09:35,323
Or what happened to the Yamato
could happen to us.
155
00:09:51,007 --> 00:09:56,595

locate entries containing words

00:10:11,652 --> 00:10:14,237
It was kind of Dr. Ramsey
to allow me
161
00:10:14,447 --> 00:10:16,823
to carry away
my own little piece of legend
162
00:10:17,033 --> 00:10:20,035
from the archaeological dig
at Denius III.
163
00:10:20,244 --> 00:10:22,954
My engineers have examined it,
164
00:10:23,205 --> 00:10:27,000
but are completely baffled
by its technology.
165
00:10:28,586 --> 00:10:30,503
What was its purpose?
166
00:10:31,088 --> 00:10:34,549
I'm like a caveman
confronted by a tricorder.
167
00:10:34,759 --> 00:10:38,303
I'm certain this device is Iconian.
But how far had it traveled
168
00:10:38,512 --> 00:10:42,682
before it was abandoned
on this alien world?
169
00:10:44,727 --> 00:10:46,936
Personal log.
170
00:10:47,229 --> 00:10:49,564
A galactic Rosetta stone.
171
00:10:49,982 --> 00:10:53,151
The starfields on the artifact
were unintelligible
172
00:10:53,361 --> 00:10:57,781
until I took into account
200 millennia of stellar drift.
173
00:10:57,990 --> 00:11:01,076
After that,
it was easy to pinpoint Iconia.
174
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,205
My first officer
is questioning the wisdom
175

00:21:30,914 --> 00:21:32,748
How did this thing
get aboard the Enterprise?
352
00:21:32,958 --> 00:21:34,792
DATA:
We downloaded the Yamato log,
353
00:21:35,002 --> 00:21:37,003
and contained in the log
was the program.
354
00:21:37,713 --> 00:21:40,131
Why didn't we suffer the same fate?
355
00:21:40,340 --> 00:21:43,217
Well, the program affected all of the
Yamato's systems simultaneously.
356
00:21:43,427 --> 00:21:46,804
But with us, it was deposited within
a specific section of our mainframe.
357
00:21:47,014 --> 00:21:49,557
So it's having to work its way out
from that location.
358
00:21:49,766 --> 00:21:51,892
That gives us
a little breathing space.
359
00:21:52,102 --> 00:21:54,186
Not much.
360
00:21:56,481 --> 00:21:59,275
The injury reports
are increasing too, sir.
361
00:21:59,776 --> 00:22:02,445
Dr. Pulaski is unwilling
to trust the turbolifts.
362
00:22:02,654 --> 00:22:05,740
She is sending medical teams
through the access tunnels.
363
00:22:06,908 --> 00:22:10,453
Captain, the Enterprise computer
system is a lot like our own bodies,
364
00:22:10,662 --> 00:22:13,164
with voluntary
and involuntary systems.
365
00:22:13,373 --> 00:22:14,457
And probably 90 percent
366
00:22:14,666 --> 00:22:16,792
of what goes on in this ship
is done automatically.
367
00:22:17,002 --> 00:22:19,045
Completely out of our control.
368
00:22:19,755 --> 00:22:22,506
We're sitting on a bomb
that could go off any second,
369
00:22:22,716 --> 00:22:24,175
or maybe never.
370
00:22:34,728 --> 00:22:36,687
The biobeds aren't working.
371
00:22:36,897 --> 00:22:39,273
The ship is falling apart.
372
00:22:39,483 --> 00:22:43,110
I've had 35 emergency calls
scattered across 12 decks.
373
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,281
My trauma teams are being
run ragged trying to respond.
374
00:22:47,783 --> 00:22:48,949
Biobeds.
375
00:22:49,159 --> 00:22:50,993
- Dr. Pulaski.
- Yes?
376
00:22:51,203 --> 00:22:53,412
I've got a problem here.
377
00:22:53,622 --> 00:22:57,375
- The knitter isn't working.
- Uh, try a splint.
378
00:22:57,584 --> 00:23:00,419
- Doctor?
- Splint. It's a very ancient concept.
379
00:23:00,629 --> 00:23:04,090
You take two flat pieces of wood
or plastic, a bandage.
380
00:23:04,299 --> 00:23:05,633
The broken limb is kept immobile.
381
00:23:05,842 --> 00:23:08,219
That's crazy.
That's not practicing medicine.
382
00:23:08,428 --> 00:23:11,055
Oh, yes, it is. It's a time-honored way
to practice medicine,
383
00:23:11,264 --> 00:23:15,976
with your head and your heart
and your hands. So jump to it.
384
00:23:18,563 --> 00:23:20,106
Damn.
385
00:23:20,315 --> 00:23:22,775
Try a bypass
on the shield control interface.
386
00:23:22,984 --> 00:23:24,235
Oh, no go.
387
00:23:24,444 --> 00:23:27,571

the master program.

390
00:23:36,581 --> 00:23:37,748
What happened?
391
00:23:37,958 --> 00:23:40,209
Any answer
would be mere speculation.
392
00:23:40,419 --> 00:23:44,213
This is yet another example of how
our actions have random results.
393
00:23:44,423 --> 00:23:47,091
Thanks, Data. I noticed.
394
00:23:47,884 --> 00:23:50,928
Life support has failed
on Decks 7 and 13, sir.
395
00:23:51,138 --> 00:23:54,014
Now, what if this thing manages
to rewrite our entire system?
396
00:23:54,224 --> 00:23:56,767
It's so far beyond us we have no hope
of ever understanding it,
397
00:23:56,977 --> 00:23:58,644
let alone controlling it.
398
00:23:58,979 --> 00:24:01,313
Our own ignorance could kill us.
399
00:24:01,523 --> 00:24:03,399
PICARD:
We may neve--
400
00:24:03,942 --> 00:24:05,401
We may never reach that point.
401
00:24:05,610 --> 00:24:09,071
A variation of what happened
to the Yamato might destroy us first.
402
00:24:09,281 --> 00:24:12,324
So we just sit here and watch our ship
disintegrate around us?
403
00:24:12,951 --> 00:24:15,786
The probe was launched
from Iconia.
404
00:24:16,079 --> 00:24:19,415
Probably
from an automated system.
405
00:24:21,543 --> 00:24:24,628
There may be records
near the launch site
406
00:24:24,838 --> 00:24:27,089
that could help us find a solution.
407
00:24:29,217 --> 00:24:30,676
I'll arrange an away team.
408
00:24:30,886 --> 00:24:32,553
And I'll lead it.
409
00:24:33,096 --> 00:24:35,514
- You will lead it?
- Yes.

Sir, we've had this conversation
a hundred times.

00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:39,727
And we will have it again.
412
00:24:39,936 --> 00:24:41,937
I've been studying the Iconians
since I was a cadet.
413
00:24:42,147 --> 00:24:44,398
I have to be the one to go.
414
00:24:44,608 --> 00:24:46,775

Sir, the shields aren't responding.

00:25:33,782 --> 00:25:35,824
They're preparing
to fire photon torpedoes.
431

Mr. Crusher, I need those shields!

I'm trying, sir.

00:25:40,121 --> 00:25:41,205
They're firing.

00:25:51,841 --> 00:25:53,425
What happened?
435
00:25:54,010 --> 00:25:57,137
Instead of firing,
they suddenly disarmed and canceled.

Impeccable timing.

Sir, the shields are back down.
442
00:26:18,952 --> 00:26:20,786

443
00:26:20,996 --> 00:26:22,246

In another time and place,
this could be funny.

If it should become
necessary to fight,

00:26:31,631 --> 00:26:34,550
could you arrange to find me
some rocks to throw at them?

are continuing to arm and disarm.

Why did you attempt to fire on us?

This is Subcommander Taris
of the Haakona.

Why have you penetrated deeper
into the Neutral Zone?

Why are you still here?

I have claimed this planet
for the Romulan Empire.

- Have we got our phasers back?
- No, sir.

- Destroy that probe!

And not even a thank you.

Subcommander Taris
is deeply frustrated,
476
00:28:12,232 --> 00:28:14,900
probably because her ship
is as crippled as the Enterprise.
477
00:28:15,110 --> 00:28:17,528
Why would the Romulans
be experiencing problems?
478
00:28:17,737 --> 00:28:18,987
They weren't probed.

There are also similarities
to Dewan and Iccobar.

00:30:35,959 --> 00:30:37,584

I know it's probably impossible
with Taris sitting out there.

00:30:53,685 --> 00:30:56,603
But it would give everyone
something to do.

But you might need me if you have
to negotiate with Taris again.
525
00:31:02,193 --> 00:31:04,027
I'll manage.
526
00:31:04,362 --> 00:31:06,488
Right now they're more important.
527
00:31:18,793 --> 00:31:20,335
DATA:
Captain.
528
00:31:21,462 --> 00:31:24,506
Your original hypothesis is correct.
529
00:31:24,716 --> 00:31:27,050
Iconian is the parent tongue
of a language family
530
00:31:27,260 --> 00:31:30,470
which consists of Iccobar,
Dewan, and Dinasian.
531
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,681
I've constructed
a basic working understanding
532
00:31:32,891 --> 00:31:34,850
through a comparison
of common root words
533
00:31:35,059 --> 00:31:37,019
such as mother, father, child,
534
00:31:37,228 --> 00:31:40,147
home, tribe, food, life,
death, yours, ours, mine.
535
00:31:40,356 --> 00:31:42,065
Data, Data, Data.
536
00:31:42,275 --> 00:31:44,067
You do understand, sir,
that my interpretation
537
00:31:44,277 --> 00:31:46,069
of the symbols will not be exact.
538
00:31:46,279 --> 00:31:48,822
Yes. Let's get on with it.
539
00:31:49,282 --> 00:31:51,658
This would appear to be
manual override.
540
00:32:03,504 --> 00:32:06,757
That was not manual override.
541
00:32:07,634 --> 00:32:10,677
Demons of air and darkness,
indeed.
542
00:32:14,682 --> 00:32:17,392
- What is that?
- A gateway.
543
00:32:17,602 --> 00:32:21,188
These scenes
could be holographic images.
544
00:32:21,397 --> 00:32:22,439
PICARD:
Be careful.
545
00:32:25,818 --> 00:32:27,277
Data!
546
00:32:27,612 --> 00:32:28,987
That was very foolish.
547
00:32:29,197 --> 00:32:31,448
But we have established
that this is not a holograph.
548
00:32:31,658 --> 00:32:33,158
If I step through and investigate,
549
00:32:33,368 --> 00:32:36,370
we could determine
whether this is truly a gateway.
550
00:32:36,579 --> 00:32:40,999
No, Data. You might not be able
to get back, and I can't risk losing you.
551
00:32:41,209 --> 00:32:42,501
If it is not illusion,
552
00:32:42,710 --> 00:32:45,921
this gate would seem to take us
beyond the confines of this planet.
553
00:32:46,130 --> 00:32:48,590
Is this how the Iconians traveled?
554
00:32:49,175 --> 00:32:52,719
Crossing light years
as easily as we would cross a room?
555
00:32:53,054 --> 00:32:56,515
Those places could be on worlds
in distant corners of the galaxy.
556
00:32:56,724 --> 00:33:00,936
I think the Iconians
might have outfoxed their enemies.
557
00:33:01,896 --> 00:33:04,481
Maybe they didn't all die
in the bombardment.
558
00:33:04,691 --> 00:33:07,818
Some of them could
have passed through this.
559
00:33:08,486 --> 00:33:10,570
This is what Varley feared.
560
00:33:10,780 --> 00:33:13,615
- This is what he died for.
- Sir?
561
00:33:14,117 --> 00:33:17,619
The Romulans could use
this technology as a weapon.
562
00:33:17,829 --> 00:33:21,581
- Like the Iconians did.
- No, I disagree.
563
00:33:21,791 --> 00:33:23,667
Captain,
there is nothing in this room
564
00:33:23,876 --> 00:33:26,837
to indicate it was used
as a military command center.
565
00:33:27,046 --> 00:33:29,631
Perhaps a transporter room.
566
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,384
But the probe was hostile.
567
00:33:32,552 --> 00:33:34,302
PICARD:
We can't make that assumption.
568
00:33:34,512 --> 00:33:36,096
The effect on the Yamato
was devastating.
569
00:33:36,305 --> 00:33:39,433
But what if it was by accident,
not by design?
570
00:33:39,726 --> 00:33:42,811
What I'm going to say
may sound unscientific,
571
00:33:43,021 --> 00:33:46,815
but standing on this soil,
breathing in this air,
572
00:33:47,025 --> 00:33:49,693
my instincts tell me
that we may have got them wrong.
573
00:33:49,902 --> 00:33:52,404
But we do know
the Iconians were conquerors.
574
00:33:52,613 --> 00:33:54,322
PICARD: But that knowledge
was passed down
575
00:33:54,532 --> 00:33:56,575
by the descendants of those
who attacked this world.
576
00:33:56,784 --> 00:34:00,662
The victors invariably write the history
to their own advantage.
577
00:34:00,872 --> 00:34:03,790
There is an unfortunate tendency
in many cultures
578
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,960
to fear what they do not understand.
579
00:34:07,170 --> 00:34:11,214
It's possible that their enemies,
confronted by this technology,
580
00:34:11,424 --> 00:34:14,342
were driven to attack the Iconians
out of fear.
581
00:34:16,679 --> 00:34:18,263
Sir!
582
00:34:24,854 --> 00:34:26,605
Was that really the Enterprise?
583
00:34:27,398 --> 00:34:29,483
I believe that it was.
584
00:34:30,318 --> 00:34:32,819
Gentlemen, we have a way home.
585
00:34:33,029 --> 00:34:36,615
Captain, there is a vast
underground power source
586
00:34:36,824 --> 00:34:39,409
which is controlled by this console.
587
00:34:39,702 --> 00:34:41,745
I believe my triggering
of the gateway
588
00:34:41,954 --> 00:34:44,623
has caused a dramatic upsurge
in the power level.
589
00:34:46,292 --> 00:34:49,586
Ah. I have access.
590
00:35:08,356 --> 00:35:10,440
PICARD:
Data, can you hear me?
591
00:35:11,192 --> 00:35:13,193
Data, respond.
592
00:35:13,569 --> 00:35:16,279
- Captain.
- Are you all right?
593
00:35:16,489 --> 00:35:20,117
No. I am damaged.
594
00:35:20,326 --> 00:35:21,785
How bad is it?
595
00:35:22,328 --> 00:35:26,289
The Iconian program is attempting
to rewrite my software.
596
00:35:26,499 --> 00:35:28,291
Physical manifestations,

00:35:28,668 --> 00:35:31,503

598
00:35:32,296 --> 00:35:36,883
Sir, without him we have no hope
of deciphering the program.
599
00:35:38,469 --> 00:35:41,471
Captain, the Enterprise again.
600
00:35:45,643 --> 00:35:47,269
How long is the interval?
601
00:35:47,478 --> 00:35:50,689
About four minutes,
if the cycle holds.
602
00:35:50,898 --> 00:35:52,649
The next time
the Enterprise appears,
603
00:35:52,859 --> 00:35:54,067
go through it with Data.
604
00:35:54,277 --> 00:35:56,778
Geordi will be able to learn from him.
Maybe help him.
605
00:35:56,988 --> 00:36:00,991
Sir, we have not yet established that
that is truly a gateway.
606
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:02,659
This will be the test.
607
00:36:03,244 --> 00:36:04,786
Aye, sir.
608
00:36:07,623 --> 00:36:08,748
Destroy the tricorder.
609
00:36:10,585 --> 00:36:13,503
Sir, it contains everything
we discovered up to this point.
610
00:36:13,713 --> 00:36:16,798
And that is precisely
why it must be destroyed.
611
00:36:18,134 --> 00:36:19,801
How long?
612
00:36:20,720 --> 00:36:22,053
About three minutes.
613
00:36:23,639 --> 00:36:26,016
I'm running out of time.
614
00:36:26,642 --> 00:36:28,185
We all are.
615
00:36:28,394 --> 00:36:29,769

616
00:36:30,354 --> 00:36:33,648
Data, I have to destroy this.
617
00:36:33,858 --> 00:36:35,609
This control room and its technology
618
00:36:35,818 --> 00:36:37,652
must not be allowed to fall
into Romulan hands.
619
00:36:37,862 --> 00:36:40,071
DATA:
I understand, sir.
620
00:36:40,281 --> 00:36:41,323
How?
621
00:36:41,532 --> 00:36:43,658
How do I do it?
How do I destroy everything?
622
00:36:43,868 --> 00:36:46,411
The control room, the probes,
all of it.
623
00:36:48,998 --> 00:36:52,459
The power source, sir.
624
00:36:53,294 --> 00:36:55,170
I detonate it.
625
00:36:55,671 --> 00:36:57,214
But how? How do I do that?
626
00:36:57,423 --> 00:37:00,050
The probes, sir.
627
00:37:00,259 --> 00:37:03,386
Probes? The probes.
628
00:37:04,597 --> 00:37:06,264
Launch.
629
00:37:06,474 --> 00:37:08,600
I launch the probes?
630
00:37:08,809 --> 00:37:11,019
But why?
631
00:37:11,687 --> 00:37:13,104
What good will that do?
632
00:37:13,314 --> 00:37:16,858
- The doors, sir.
- Doors?
633
00:37:17,235 --> 00:37:19,361
Perhaps the probes
are in a launch bay.
634
00:37:20,780 --> 00:37:24,032
If the doors are closed,
then the backwash from the rockets
635
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,576
will spill into the power bridge
and there'll be an overload.
636
00:37:26,744 --> 00:37:27,786
Yes, sir.
637
00:37:27,954 --> 00:37:30,747
But the doors will open automatically
when the launch begins.
638
00:37:31,457 --> 00:37:34,709
- And I will override.
- Correct, sir.
639
00:37:36,379 --> 00:37:38,922
Which control keys? Damn.
640
00:37:39,215 --> 00:37:40,799
Of course, you can't see.
641
00:37:41,008 --> 00:37:42,717
Help.
642
00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:45,971
Worf, help him up.
643
00:37:51,310 --> 00:37:53,186
Describe, please.
644
00:37:53,396 --> 00:37:55,397
I'm standing directly
in front of the gate.
645
00:37:55,606 --> 00:37:58,275
To my left
there is a small, triangular screen.
646
00:37:59,110 --> 00:38:02,529
Right. One meter.
647
00:38:02,738 --> 00:38:04,322
Right.
648
00:38:05,658 --> 00:38:07,993
Now, to my right
is a larger, triangular screen,
649
00:38:08,202 --> 00:38:10,495
to the top is solid amber,
to the left, red.
650
00:38:10,705 --> 00:38:11,788

Correct.

Key blue, amber, amber, red.
652
00:38:16,711 --> 00:38:18,169
That's the launch sequence?
653
00:38:20,131 --> 00:38:21,881
How do I override the doors?
654
00:38:22,091 --> 00:38:24,175
Blue, blue, blue.
655
00:38:25,177 --> 00:38:27,053
I hope that's not a stutter.
656
00:38:27,263 --> 00:38:28,847
I don't know
how long a delay there'll be
657
00:38:29,056 --> 00:38:30,557
between the launch
and the detonation.
658
00:38:30,766 --> 00:38:34,227
I will hold keying the launch sequence
until you're through the gate.
659
00:38:34,437 --> 00:38:36,980
How long
until the Enterprise reappears?
660
00:38:39,066 --> 00:38:40,358
Almost time.
661
00:38:40,568 --> 00:38:42,193
Captain...
662
00:38:42,862 --> 00:38:44,946
You will be killed.
663
00:38:45,364 --> 00:38:47,407
I'll go through the gate.
664
00:38:47,616 --> 00:38:49,367
But where will you end up?
665
00:38:49,577 --> 00:38:53,288
Very shortly, anywhere
will be preferable to this room.
666
00:38:53,497 --> 00:38:55,999
Mr. Worf, I am depending on you.
667
00:38:56,208 --> 00:38:58,001
You must get Data back
to the Enterprise.
668
00:38:58,210 --> 00:39:00,211
He may be their only hope.
669
00:39:00,838 --> 00:39:02,422
Aye, sir.
670
00:39:18,689 --> 00:39:19,773
OFFICER:
Commander, look.
671
00:39:20,733 --> 00:39:22,817
Worf, what happened?
Where's the captain?
672
00:39:23,027 --> 00:39:24,736
We must take Data to Engineering.
673
00:39:24,945 --> 00:39:27,572
Hopefully, the captain will follow.
674
00:39:42,963 --> 00:39:44,714
I don't know how to help him.
675
00:39:44,924 --> 00:39:47,425
But comparing recorded norms
for Data to these current readings,
676
00:39:47,635 --> 00:39:51,388
it's clear that all his functions
are just going crazy.
677
00:39:51,597 --> 00:39:53,932

I am on the Enterprise.

How did I get here?
689
00:41:04,420 --> 00:41:07,380
He cleared the Iconian program
from his system. How?
690
00:41:08,257 --> 00:41:11,676
Iconia? I was on Iconia.
691
00:41:11,886 --> 00:41:13,261
Now I am on the Enterprise.
692
00:41:13,471 --> 00:41:16,431
- Geordi, this is critical. How?
- Okay, give me a second to think.
693
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,392
There was an incompatible program
running through Data's system,

so the mechanism started searching
for a way to keep him alive.

The solution...
696
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:27,942
The solution was a shutdown
697
00:41:28,152 --> 00:41:30,403

of all affected memory.

I don't see why not, but it will have
to be a complete shutdown.

00:41:37,369 --> 00:41:39,704
We turn her off
and effect a wipe of the Yamato log
702
00:41:39,914 --> 00:41:42,707
including every subsequent event
since we downloaded it.
703
00:41:42,917 --> 00:41:44,918
I'll then be able
to reload all the ship's programs
704
00:41:45,127 --> 00:41:47,045
from the protected archives
in the main core.
705
00:41:47,254 --> 00:41:51,716
Geordi, if we shut down, that means
we're bringing down the shields.
706
00:41:51,926 --> 00:41:54,928
And we're hanging nose-to-nose
with a Romulan battle cruiser.
707
00:41:55,262 --> 00:41:56,971
Hey, commander,
whether it's Romulan phasers
708
00:41:57,181 --> 00:42:00,058
or our own warp engines,
we're just as dead.
709
00:42:01,310 --> 00:42:02,727
Make it so.
710
00:42:05,814 --> 00:42:07,565
May I help?

- Lock on the captain, bring him back.
- Scanning, sir.
715
00:42:31,757 --> 00:42:33,174
Got him.

[COMPUTER SPEAKING

717
00:42:52,736 --> 00:42:55,530
- I've lost him.
- Damn it.
718
00:42:55,739 --> 00:42:57,407
Got him, sir.
719
00:42:57,825 --> 00:43:00,410
- He's on the Romulan ship.
- How the he--?
720
00:43:05,541 --> 00:43:07,292
Go to your stations.
721
00:43:15,301 --> 00:43:17,427
You did this.
722
00:43:17,636 --> 00:43:19,929
You sabotaged my ship.
723
00:43:20,139 --> 00:43:21,264
Oh, no.
724
00:43:21,765 --> 00:43:24,851
I cannot deactivate
the auto-destruct.
725
00:43:25,060 --> 00:43:30,148
But at least I have the satisfaction
that you will die with us.
726
00:43:31,609 --> 00:43:34,611
Not, I think, today, commander.
727
00:43:46,957 --> 00:43:48,499
- Bridge, Picard.
- DATA: Yes, captain?
728
00:43:48,709 --> 00:43:51,210
Take us out of here. The Romulan
vessel is set to auto-destruct,
729
00:43:51,420 --> 00:43:52,462
they can't deactivate it.

- Wait, sir. Open hailing frequencies.
- Open, sir.
731
00:43:54,882 --> 00:43:56,841
Commander Taris,
prepare to receive a transmission
732
00:43:57,051 --> 00:43:59,969
from our chief engineer. He'll instruct
you how to purge your system.
733
00:44:00,179 --> 00:44:03,139
TARIS:
Agreed, Enterprise. Standing by.
734
00:44:03,349 --> 00:44:07,185
Commander, your transmission
has been received and acknowledged.
735
00:44:07,394 --> 00:44:09,479
Now, Mr. Data, warp speed, please.
736
00:44:09,688 --> 00:44:12,982
Just in case Taris' engineer is not
as efficient as our Mr. La Forge.
737
00:44:13,192 --> 00:44:14,776
DATA:
Aye, sir.
738
00:44:15,069 --> 00:44:16,235
Well, Number One,
739
00:44:16,445 --> 00:44:19,739
I can see why you wanna keep
the away missions to yourself.
740
00:44:19,948 --> 00:44:21,407
That's where the excitement is.
741
00:44:21,617 --> 00:44:23,701
So, what's been happening here?
742
00:44:23,911 --> 00:44:26,861
Same old routine, I suppose?
