Captain's Log,
Stardate 41263.1 :

We have rendezvoused
with the USS Fearless

from which a Starfleet
propulsion expert

and his assistant

are beaming over
to conduct tests

on the Enterprise's
warp drive engines.

They have completed
similar adjustments

on two other Starfleet vessels.

I don't understand
your concern, Number One.

They're not authorized

to make any alterations
in our engines.

According to Starfleet's report,
they will simply run tests

on different ways
of entering warp speed

and different intermix formulas.

Where's the harm in that?

It's the specs
Kosinski sent us.

In my opinion, sir,
they're gibberish.

Gibberish?

Mr. Data

would you explain?

Sir, we put Mr. Kosinski's
specs into the computer

and ran a controlled test
on them.

There was no improvement
in engine performance.

Then how do you explain
Starfleet's report

that the same tests

on the USS Ajax
and the Fearless over there

resulted in a measurable
increase in propulsion?

Our engines are new, sir,
top condition.

The tests on those older ships

to straighten out
some engine inefficiency.

Bridge from transporter chief.

Two from USS Fearless
are ready to beam over.

Stand by for Mr. Riker, Chief.

He's on his way.

Aye, sir.

Since you're concerned
about these tests.

Yes, sir.

Captain, if I may

I'll ask Counselor Troi
to look these visitors over.

Very good.

Welcome aboard, Mr. Kosinski.

I'm the first officer,
Commander William Riker

and this is...

Where is the Captain, please?

He's engaged
in other duties, sir.

A ship's engines should be
the concern of a ship's Captain.

They are, sir

which is why they have made
the first officer

directly responsible

for an engine's conditions
and performance--

guided, of course,
by one of our chief engineers

Lieutenant Commander Argyle,
in this case.

A pleasure to meet you, sir.

I appreciated receiving
the specs.

To which you have
no end of questions.

Aye, I have.

And you, sir, are listed as...?

As Mr. Kosinski's assistant.

My actual name is
unpronounceable by humans.

You're from Tau Alpha C.

That's very distant.

All approved and described

in the Starfleet communications.

Now, I would like to set up
in the engine room immediately.

I'll have our chief engineer
show you to his engine room.

No need.

I know my way around starships.

One thing that Kosinski isn't
hiding is bad disposition.

Agreed.

Also he's arrogant,
overbearing, self-important

and very sure of himself
and his ability.

And the other one?
His assistant?

He's the puzzle.

With most life-forms,
I can usually feel something.

I may not be able
to understand or interpret it

but I feel something,
if only a presence.

With him, nothing.

Empty space.

It's as though
he isn't even here.

Something about this
concerns me.

I don't know what.

I can point to no reason... yet.

Stay concerned, please.

The safety of the Enterprise
may be entrusted to these two.

Space, the final frontier.

These are the voyages
of the Starship Enterprise.

Its continuing mission--

to explore strange new worlds

to seek out new life
and new civilizations

to boldly go
where no one has gone before.

Inform the Bridge

I shall begin my first test
in precisely 15 minutes.

Why is this child here?

He's working on
a school project.

And before you begin

there are some questions.

First, tell us
how you arrived...

In order to save myself time

Iet me ask those questions
for you.

You received the information
which Starfleet provided

you fed it into your computer

as precisely as humanly possible

then you did a controlled test

and then, to your astonishment,
nothing happened.

So you said, "What's going on?

"This doesn't work.

Kosinski's a fraud."

You see, I have had
this conversation

on other
Starfleet vessels before.

They didn't understand it.
Why should you?

Surely you're not saying
it's unexplainable.

I'm saying I'm not a teacher

nor do I wish to become one.

I have neither the inclination
nor the time.

You have all the time you need.

I don't think you understand.

This has already been approved
by Starfleet Command.

But it hasn't been approved
by the chief engineer or by me.

I didn't know
that was necessary.

Now you do.

Perhaps I should speak
to Captain Picard.

If you like.

It won't change anything.

How basic shall I be?

I'll leave that to you.

Would you get on
the auxiliary panel, please?

In order to save time

my assistant is going to lay in
my base formulas

more rapidly than any
human being possibly could--

even myself.

So, here, then

in the simplest possible terms,
is what I do.

Now, this warp drive system
has been tuned

only in
the grossest possible sense

at least according
to my standards.

What I do is specific.

Thank you.

Well, sufficient to say,
for now, that these symbols...

Something troubles you
in the way this is configured?

How about it now?

Yes.

But shouldn't
these be connected...

here...

and here?

Now will it do what
Kosinski says it will?

It has a chance.

It might work better this way.

Yes.

...nature itself.

View with me, if you will

this screen
as we consider the following.

Now, is this merely mechanics

or is it nature that
we deal with in all of this?

And what else than nature

are the elementals
of space and time?

You are trained in the system.

You are... you go
in a straight line--

competent, yes,
perhaps even innovative

in a minimalist sort of way--

but what I do here
is not the end of the process.

It is the beginning.

So what do I do?

Go back to the Fearless

which I left
with a more efficient

warp drive system than I found?

Or do you cast off
your ignorance

and allow me to continue?

Can anything he's proposing
damage our system?

How could it? It's meaningless.

Then we should let him try it?

What do you mean,
"Let him try it"?!

Don't talk about me
in the third person

as if I'm not standing
right here.

Yes, we might as well
let him try it.

Oh, yes, "We might
as well let him try it."

You are too generous.

Boy! Boy! Don't play with that.

Captain, main Engineering
is ready to proceed.

Engineering,
this is the Bridge.

It's your call.

Do this one just like last time.

Nothing changes.

Commander, I'll make

my preliminary adjustments
at warp 1.5

and complete them as we achieve

warp four.

Engineering to Bridge.

Did you copy that?

Affirmative, Number One.

You ready?

We are.

La Forge, set in warp 1.5.

Warp 1.5, Sir.

Engage.

All right.

Here we go.

What are you doing?

Captain, we're passing warp ten.

What is our velocity?

It's off the scale, sir.

Reverse engines.

Captain, no one

has ever reversed engines
at this velocity.

That's because no one
has gone this fast.

Reverse engines.

All stop.

Reading all stop, sir.

Position?

Calculating it, sir.

Data, what do you read
over there?

A malfunction, I trust.

Position, Mr. La Forge.

Well, sir, according
to these calculations

we've not only left
our own galaxy

but passed through two others

ending up on the far
side of Triangulum--

the galaxy known as M-33.

That's not possible.

Data, what distance

have we traveled?

Two million, 700,000
light-years, sir.

I can't accept that.

You must, sir.

Our comparisons show it
to be completely accurate.

And I calculate that
at maximum warp, sir

it would take over...

300 years to get home.

Captain's Log,
Stardate 41263.2:

This will be
a rather unusual log entry

assuming Starfleet
ever receives it.

As I've already informed my crew

a phenomenal surge of power
during a warp speed experiment

has sent our starship
hurtling out of our own galaxy

and past another

taking us over two million,
700,000 light-years

in a few minutes.

Message on this has already been
transmitted to Starfleet, sir.

Which, traveling subspace,
they should receive

in 51 years, ten months,
nine weeks, 16 days...

Mr. Data!

Sir?

Captain Picard, I presume.

We're still trying to determine
what happened.

The truth is, Captain,
I made a mistake--

a wonderful, incredible mistake.

Just explain
what brought us here.

As the power grew, I applied
the energy asymptotically.

I anticipated some tilling,
but it didn't occur.

Now, that was my error--

using the Bessel functions
at the beginning.

What is he saying, Number One?

Tell the truth, sir,
it sounds like nonsense to me

but... considering...

Considering where we are...

we must assume it isn't.

Can I do something to help?

I can call my mother.

She's a doctor.

No, there's nothing she can do.

I need to rest.

I've been away too long.

What happened to you?

Is it part
of what happened to the ship?

Please believe me.

I mean no harm to this vessel
or those in it.

Is Mr. Kosinski like he sounds?

A joke?

No, that's too cruel.

He has sensed
some small part of it.

That space and time and thought

aren't the separate things
they appear to be?

I just thought
the formula you were using

said something like that.

Boy, don't ever say that again

especially not at your age

in a world that's
not ready for such...

such dangerous nonsense.

I've always suspected

that this rate of speed
was possible, of course

but at this level-- no, never.

We're going to need new
definitions, new parameters.

You could call it
the Kosinski Scale.

Why not?

Yes, of course,
since I'm the one who has made

the so-called warp
barrier meaningless.

And Captain, this must be
a special thrill for you.

Thrill?

Mm-hmm, as an explorer.

In three centuries
of space travel

we've charted just
1 1 percent of our galaxy.

And then... we accomplish this.

Yes, but isn't the real point

can you do it again?

Can you get us home?

Well, of course, I can.

I'll just do what I did before.

Coming, Riker?

Commander Riker will
join you soon in a moment.

Comment is invited.

Counselor?

He's convinced he's right.

I've no doubt of that.

Captain, can you allow a man

who's made one mistake

back into a position
where he may make another?

Captain, what
are our options, really?

I mean, if this guy
can't get us back, who will?

Captain, we're here.

Why not avail ourselves
of this opportunity for study?

There is a giant protostar here

in the process of forming.

No other vessel
has been out this far.

Spoken like
a true Starfleet graduate.

It is tempting, eh, Number One?

Aye, sir, it is.

But as they say, sir,
you're the Captain.

I know that If Kosinski
can get us home

Starfleet can use his technique

to bring back
a pure science vessel.

Do even more.

Number One, tell Kosinski to
prepare to get us out of here.

Aye, sir.

Do you realize how many
great advancements of mankind

have been tied to speed?

This is a moment in history

right here, right now.

And your names will be
forever linked with mine.

Excuse me, Commander Riker.

I don't think he did this.

I think...

Not now, Wes.

Standing by, Number One.

But, sir...
when all this happened

I was watching his assistant...

I'm sure
this is fascinating, Wesley

and I am looking forward
to hearing all about it

but not right now.

Aye, sir.

Come on.

He's too tired.

Why don't you do it by yourself?

Yes, why not?

Uh, No, I will help.

As you wish.

I've laid in the reciprocal
course back, Captain.

Tell the Captain
I am ready, first officer.

We're ready for you
to engage, Captain.

As before, begin at warp 1.5.

Warp 1.5, sir.

This isn't working.

All stop.

Answering all stop, Captain.

According
to the instruments, sir

our speed never exceeded
warp 1.5.

All stopped, sir.

Yes, but where is this place?

Where none have gone before.

Captain's Log, Stardate 41263.3:

Instead of returning
to our own galaxy

the Enterprise has gone forward

to a place in the universe
which is uncharted and unknown.

Our present position puts us

at over a billion light-years
from our galaxy.

Data, you have the helm.

I'll be in Engineering.

What is it?

A Klingon targ.

My pet...

...from home...

...but when I was a child.

You're telling me
it's a kitty cat?

Yes.

I suppose you could

call it that.

You darling.

What are you doing here?

Now run. This place
isn't safe at all.

Oh!

Tasha, what's wrong?

You look scared to death.

I was, I was...

This is crazy.

I was at the colony
where I grew up

being chased by a rape gang.

Are you all right?

Well, you're safe now.

Captain! Captain!

We need your help!

What's wrong?

Well, don't you see
what's following us?

Ensign, what are you doing?

You look tense, Jean-Luc.

Come and have a cup of tea.

Maman.

I'll make it good and strong,
the way you like it.

Maman?

We can have

a nice, long talk.

This can't be.

You've been...

Dead?

But I'm always with you.

You know that.

Yes, I've felt that.

But why now?

Suddenly?

You mean out here?

At what you say

is the end of the universe?

Or do you see this
as the beginning of it?

We believe it the outer rim.

Maman, do you understand
these things?

Can you tell me
where my ship is?

What is this place?

Captain, you were
reported headed for...

Just a moment, Number One!

Can I help you, sir?

No.

No, let's help all of us.

General quarters, red alert.

What is it, Captain?

Captain, why are we
at general quarters?

I have to get
everyone's attention.

This seemed to be
the quickest way.

This is the Captain.

This is not a drill.

It seems that in this place

the world
of the physical universe

and the world of ideas

is somehow intermixed.

What we think

also becomes a reality.

We must, therefore

I repeat, must

begin controlling our thoughts.

We will give you more on this
as our understanding increases.

The Enterprise will stay
at full alert

until the crisis is over.

What did you do?

It wasn't him; it never was.

It was his assistant.

What are you talking about?

Kosinski wasn't controlling
the warp experiment.

It was me!

The equations he punched in

were nonsense,
just as we thought.

I honestly thought it was me.

I thought somehow...

somehow I was operating
on his level.

It was also my fault, Captain.

I should have realized
it wasn't Kosinski.

How could you?

How could any of us?

Wesley did.

If you knew something,
why didn't you say so?

He tried, twice.

I didn't listen.

He's unconscious.

Why?

I'm not certain yet.

He phased, sir.

What does that mean?

Parts of him disappeared
and then came back.

Nobody else was paying attention
to him the first time.

When we saw it this time

he seemed to be struggling,
fighting it.

He's dying.

He mustn't.

He's the only one
who can get us back.

Realistically,
that doesn't seem possible.

Captain's Log, supplemental:

Our position is unknown
and our only chance

of returning
to the known universe

is a dying alien

who is generally humanoid

but with a physiology

sufficiently different
from our own

to create medical problems
in caring for him.

Cause?

I don't know.

My equipment doesn't register
his kind of life signs.

I would have to guess
exhaustion, fatigue.

Is he going to be all right?

What is the boy doing here?

Mom, he's my friend.

You may want him here
before we're done, sir.

He seems to have developed

some sort of special attachment
to the boy.

My name is Wesley,
Commander Riker.

He knows.

We all know.

Will he live?

I'm not sure.

Wake him.

I recommend we let him
come around on his own time.

We don't have that luxury.
Wake him.

He could die,
and with him any chance we have.

Doctor, Wes, we all have other
friends on board this ship.

If we stay here much longer,
we may lose the ability

to distinguish between
thought and reality.

Now, regardless of the risk,
wake him now.

Do you recognize me?

I'm the Captain
and I need answers.

I'll do my best... to provide.

Who are you? Or what?

I am a traveler.

A traveler?

What is your destination?

Destination?

Yes, what place are
you trying to reach?

Ah, place, no. There is no
specific place I wish to go.

Then what is
the purpose of your journey?

Curiosity.

That's not an answer.

I have certain abilities.

They give me a knowledge
of propulsion.

I've been trading this
for passage

on Starfleet vessels.

And allowing Kosinski
to take credit

for what you did?

It seemed the sensible way.

Until now.

Captain, I seek
only transportation

in order to see
and experience your reality.

I am no threat to you,
your ship or your crew.

He isn't, Captain.
I know he isn't.

Our "reality"?

And in order to satisfy
this curiosity

you have brought my ship

and my crew into grave risk.

I have made some mistakes.

Some mistakes?

What mistakes could
possibly explain

these incredible explosions
of velocity?

I don't know if I can put this
in terms you'll understand.

I believe that there may be
a warp speed

that can get us
beyond galaxy M-33

but there is no velocity
of any magnitude

that can possibly bring us...
wherever this is.

Is it true

what our navigational
sensors are telling us?

Are we... are we
millions of light-years away

from where we were?

Yes.

But what got us here?

Thought.

Thought?

You do understand, don't you

that thought is the basis
of all reality?

The energy of thought--
to put it in your terms--

is very powerful.

That's not an explanation.

I have the ability

to act like a lens
which focuses thought.

That's just so much nonsense.

You're asking us
to believe in magic.

Well, yes, this... this could
seem like magic to you.

No. No, it actually
makes sense to me.

Only the power of thought
could explain

what has been happening,
especially out here.

Thought is the essence
of where you are now.

You do understand
the danger, don't you?

Chaos.

What we think is what happens.

It pains me I was
so careless, Captain.

My intent was only to observe,
not to cause this.

You should not be here until
your far, far distant future.

Certainly not until
you've learned control.

You are from a different time,
aren't you?

No, not exactly
from another time...

well, as you understand
the concept...

yes, perhaps that term
fits as well as any.

And you have
this ability to travel?

Yes.

And others of your kind
have the same ability?

Oh, yes.

Then why, in all of our history,
is there no record of you

or someone like you
ever having visited us?

What wonderful arrogance.

There is no record

because we have not
visited you before.

Why not?

Well, because...

up until now,
if you'll forgive this

you've been uninteresting.

It's only now
that your life-form

merits serious attention.

I...

I'm-I'm sorry.

What's happening?

He's unconscious again.

Revive him.

Whatever you need from him,
you better get it soon.

If I may suggest, sir,
our first leap

out of our galaxy was,
as he said, a mistake.

Unless he was distracted
by something.

And it weakened him

in some way resulting
in the incredible leap out here.

Theory.

Do you have any facts
that fit this?

Can you get us back?

Wait, Captain, not so fast.

We have an opportunity here
for scientific discovery.

And we report
our observations how?

To whom?

Can you get us back?

I will try.

Number One, take him down
to main Engineering.

I'll be on the Bridge.

No! He's very weak.

The Captain is right--
we must hurry.

But first I request a moment
with the Captain... alone.

Strange how he seems
to care for you.

He will forget me in time,
which is as it should be.

It's Wesley I wanted
to speak to you about.

The boy?

It's best you do not repeat this
to the others--

especially not to the mother.

Whatever happens

it is imperative that
it proceed naturally.

I must get my ship back.

Do we have time for this?

Oh, yes.

He and a few like him
are why I travel.

You have it in your power

to encourage him
without interfering.

Encourage him in what?

How shall I explain?

Are you familiar
with the intricacies

of what is called here "music"?

Somewhat.

And such musical genius

as I saw in one
of your ships' libraries--

one called Mozart

who as a small child
wrote astonishing symphonies.

A genius

who made music
not only to be heard

but seen and felt

beyond the understanding,
the ability of others.

Wesley is such a person.

Not with music

but with the equally
lovely intricacies

of time, energy, propulsion...

and the instruments
of this vessel

which allow all that
to be played.

You're right.

I must hurry now

but you're right
in something else.

He is just a boy for now.

He should be encouraged

but told none of this.

We've got to get back home.

Take him to main Engineering.

Yes, sir.

I'll be on the Bridge.

Yes, sir.

Put it out!

How?

Think! Put the flame
out in your thoughts.

Now, get to your station

and concentrate
on your assignment.

Yes, sir.

Captain's Log:

Any time entry is meaningless.

We have no choice

but to repeat
the same warp experiment

but with one variation.

A principal part
of this warp formula

will be the thoughts of
everyone aboard the Enterprise.

We have no idea exactly
how this works.

We understand only
that the traveler

makes use of this somehow.

It will be most important
that those aboard avoid

random thoughts that might
change the reality

of what we're attempting to do.

Do you have any
further advice, Counselor?

When you begin the attempt,
there will be stress

and it's only natural the crew's
concentration will shift.

Plus some genuine fear, Captain.

You can't notice
what's happening outside

without feeling some of that.

All decks, all stations

this is the Captain speaking.

All decks, I must have
your full attention.

In a few moments,
as we attempt to warp back home

it is vital-- absolutely vital--

that you center your thoughts
on your duty

or on the welfare
of the one called the traveler.

Think of giving him
some of your strength.

Now, this is an order.

You must try to do this.

And, now, attempt
to concentrate completely

on your duty of the moment

or on the traveler

on his well-being.

Think of him as someone
you care deeply for.

All decks, all stations--
battle stations.

I will need Kosinski
back on the main computer.

You need me?

Yes.

Helm, set in warp 1.5,
retroactive course.

Warp 1.5

retroactive 2-6-1 mark 3-1, sir.

Bridge to Engineering, stand by.

I feel such an abundance
of well-being on the ship.

It feels like...

...quite wonderful.

Engineering to Bridge,
we're ready.

On my order, Mr. Data,
Mr. La Forge.

Engage.

It's not happening.

It's not enough.

Warp 1.5, sir, which is what

my instruments have read
all along.

And our position reads
exactly what it was

before this sleigh ride
began, sir.

Cease red alert.

Sleigh ride?

Or whatever you want
to call it, Data.

I don't have
a proper name for it.

The traveler's gone, sir.

Gone?

He's phased...

completely out of existence--

at least out
of our existence.

Attention all decks.

This is to inform you
that with your support

the traveler has returned us
to our own galaxy.

However, he has now left us.

Wherever he has gone,
we wish him well.

Have the boy

sent to the Bridge, Number One.

Wesley Crusher,
report to the Bridge

on the double.

Our next assignment
is on this heading?

Yes, sir.

Mr. Data, Mr. La Forge

increase to warp five,
same heading.

Warp five, sir.

On that same heading, sir.

Oh, Wesley, come on the Bridge.

Move!

Commander Riker has told me

how supportive you were
in Engineering.

Well done.

Oh, at ease.

Sit here in command.

Captain, it's not allowed.

Your orders.

Oh, that's true.

Well, uh, l, uh,
can't waive them again.

Only commissioned officers.

It's quite all right, sir.
I understand.

Please don't
interrupt me, Wesley.

I'm sorry, sir.

Any commissioned rank?

Even Ensign?

That would give him
authorized access to the Bridge.

Well, then, I'll have
to make him an acting Ensign.

Captain's Log, Stardate 41263.4:

For outstanding performance
in the best Starfleet tradition

Wesley Crusher is
made acting Ensign

with the duties
and privileges of that rank

and whether that rank
becomes permanent, Mr. Crusher

depends on you.

At the earliest opportunity,
your entrance application

for Starfleet Academy
will be tendered.

Until then,
you will learn this ship--

every operation, every function.

Commander Riker, a duty
schedule for Mr. Crusher

heavy on study.

Aye, sir.

Meanwhile, you can sit here
and learn something.

Sir, should I send
for Dr. Crusher?

Why, is someone ill?

Or would you rather

tell her about this, Wes?

If you don't mind, sir

I'd like to sit here
for a while.

I'll tell her later.
