Captain's Log,
Stardate 41365.9:

The Enterprise has been ordered
to Starbase 74

in orbit around Tarsas lll.

A routine maintenance check
of all systems will be made

and certain upgrades completed

including the holodeck,
with which we've had problems.

I anticipate a glowing report.

This ship has
performed magnificently--

beyond anyone's expectations.

Coming into position.

Stand by to dock.

Ready to dock, sir.

Engage mooring beams,
and lock off.

Aye, sir.

And... docking complete.

Thank you, Number One.

Well done.

And...

well done, all.

Starbase Maintenance
approaching airlock five.

Commander Quinteros.

Request permission
to come aboard.

Granted. Welcome.

Captain.

Commander Riker.

Commander.

You're late.
We expected you a week ago.

We were unexpectedly delayed
at Omicron Pascal.

Ah. Is there anything specific
you wish to report

or that we should
be aware of?

No, we're very pleased

with the operation
of the Enterprise.

I knew you would be.

I was in charge of the team
which put it together.

Are these gentlemen the Bynars?

They're not gentlemen--
or ladies, Commander.

They're a unified pair.

They're always together.

This is One Zero

and this is Zero One.

They just finished upgrading
the computers on the Wellington.

Did a great job.

Your reputation
precedes you.

I'm very pleased you're going
to be improving our system.

-lt is a great pleasure

-to work on such a large
mobile computer.

You have 48 hours,
because in 48 plus six

we have an appointment on
Pelleus V we must keep.

-I thought we'd
-have more time.

I'm sorry. This mission
can't be delayed.

If you want to
postpone the work...

-Oh, no, this is
-the best time

-to do it.
-We can complete

-our work within
-the time allotted.

They work very quickly,
but it'll be very tight.

Commander Riker and l
will stay on board

be available
should you need us.

Thank you, Captain.
I don't think

we'll need you until we're ready
for inspection.

The Bynars seem
perfect for this

even though
this is the first time

that I've ever
come in contact with them.

As I understand it,
over time

they have become
so interconnected

with the master computer
on their planet

that their language,
their thought patterns

have become as close
to binary as is possible

for organic beings.

It will be interesting

to see how they improve
a computer as advanced as ours.

Mm-hmm.

Bridge.

Well, I have
a little work to finish up

then I'm going
to my cabin

I'm going
to put my feet up

I'm going to turn on
my personal relaxation light

and I'm going to lose myself
in the pages of some old novel.

What about you, Number One?
You've earned a rest.

I've never been very good
at organizing my time off.

Something'll turn up.
It always does.

I'll be in my ready room.

And Number One...

good work.

I thought there were
only going to be two of you.

-Because of the limited time
allotted us

-we need others.

Is there a problem?

-Uh, no.
-No. No problem.

Then why are you
acting so excited?

-Because we, uh, have to...
-we are... stacking

-to reconfigure
the computer

-to communicate
with itself

-more efficiently
-and at higher speeds.

You act like you
don't believe them.

I'm not sure that I do.

Maybe it's nothing.

Perhaps it's just the way
another species behaves.

Maybe.

I'm going to stroll
around the ship.

You've got the Bridge.

Keep your eye on them.

Yes, sir.

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.

We've been challenged
to a friendly game

of parrises squares

by some of the
maintenance personnel.

Want to join us
on the starbase?

You've already got all
the players you need.

Oh, we can switch off.

No, you know, if you do
that in parrises squares

you lose the
rhythm of the game.

I can't talk you into
coming with us?

No, but win, all right?

The pride of the Enterprise
goes with you.

Rest assured, Commander

we will be victorious,
at whatever the cost.

Worf, it's just a game.

A friendly little
competition.

You work up a sweat,
you have a few laughs

you make new friends.

If winning is not important,
then, Commander, why keep score?

I think
he's pulling your leg.

Believe it or not

Worf is developing
a sense of humor.

I hope so,
for their sake.

Good luck.

Computer, there's a power
reduction in section L-94.

Explain.

Unoccupied sections
are being closed down

in order to clear space
in the main computer banks.

It is necessary to facilitate
the system upgrade.

Full power can be restored
if needed.

Well, what do you think?

Tell me what
it's supposed to be

and then I'll give you
my opinion.

It is an attempt
at pure creativity.

What we're investigating is,
can Data be creative?

And this is my attempt,
with guidance from Geordi.

I suggested the zylo eggs.

Is that what those are?

Keep notes.

This project may turn out to be

of interest to scholars
in the future.

Really?

Well, of course.
Think about it.

A blind man teaching
an android how to paint?

That's got to be worth
a couple of pages

in somebody's book.

You look like you're packing
to leave forever.

Oh, Commander Riker.

No, I'm just
gathering my notes.

Professor Terence Epstein is
at this starbase.

Is that someone
I should know of?

He's the leading mind
in cybernetics.

He lectured
at my medical school.

You know the disaster
at Micromius? Well...

since then, I've been working
on an approach

that combines cybernetics
and regeneration.

It sounds impossible,
I know

but I have found an approach
that will work.

I mean, what an opportunity!

To have a chance
to talk with Dr. Epstein.

Sorry, Will.

I'd love to chat
but I have to go.

How's it going?

-We are almost done.
-The deviation

-caused by a previous
-probe has been corrected.

-You may use the equipment
-anytime you wish.

How much has been changed?

What exactly did you do?

-Enhancement.
-Nothing more.

-Would you like to try
-the enhancement?

All right.

What should I choose?

Computer, I'd like someplace
to play some music--

a little atmosphere.

Specify.

Jazz.

Era?

Circa 1958.

Location?

Kansas City.

No, New Orleans.

Bourbon Street bar,
New Orleans.

Around 2:00 a.m.

Program complete.

Enter when ready.

Very good.

Very good,
indeed.

I'll need someone
to play with.

A trio--

piano, bass, and drums,
and a 'bone for me.

Now an audience.

Whoa. Too many.

I was thinking of something
a little more intimate.

Great job, boys.

But, computer

blondes and jazz
seldom go together.

Now that is truly exceptional.

But more sultry.

Gentlemen, if this is
what you call enhancement

you've got a gift
for understatement.

What's your name?

Tell me
you love jazz.

My name is Minuet

and I love all jazz
except Dixieland.

Why not
Dixieland?

You can't dance to it.

My girl.

What's a knockout
like you doing

in a computer-generated
gin joint like this?

Waiting for you.

Waiting for me?

You can't be serious.

Oh, yes, Will.

I've never been
more serious in my life.

Can I ask you
a question about the Bynars?

Why not just ask them?

What is that high-pitched
sound you make?

-That is our
-primary language.

How can you can process
information at that speed?

-We store information
-with these buffers.

-We receive information
-all the time

-and save it
-until we need it.

How did you happen
to develop this ability?

-lt happened over
-a long period of time.

To have a society
so intermixed with computers

it has tremendous advantages.

-And a few
-disadvantages.

Everything under control,
Ensign Crusher?

Fine, sir.

I was just trying

to find something out
about the Bynars.

Where's Commander Riker?

He's in holodeck four, sir.

Shall I call him
for you?

No, I'll go down
there myself.

Keep me apprised.

Yes, sir.

Hey, man, the
chick digs you.

What makes
you say that?

Hey, look at her.

Maybe it's my music.

Yeah, well, about that--
don't give up your day job.

Too real.

You got that straight, slim.

Too real is too right.

Thanks for letting me
sit in.

Ain't nothing to it.

I'm going to have to leave
for awhile to see to my duties.

Your work's
very important to you.

It is me.
It's what I am.

Can we dance once
before you leave?

Sure, why not?

How did you learn
to dance so well?

From following you.

I can anticipate your lead.

So tell me about your work.

What is it about it that
consumes and enthralls you?

What an interesting
choice of words.

That's exactly
what it does.

You're very fortunate.

I know that.

To be exactly where
you want to be.

And it's great
that you realize it.

I'd be a fool not
to realize how lucky I am.

To be on this ship,
serving with these people--

it's like a dream come true.

Just like this.

A dream?
Is that what this is?

Is that what I am?

I know you're a
computer-generated image, but...

your smell...

your touch...

the way you feel...

even the things
you say and think seem so real.

Thank you.

How far can
this relationship go?

I mean, how real are you?

As real as
you need me to be.

Astounding.

Captain!

I didn't mean to interrupt.

No, it's all right.

Come on in.

You picked a wonderful locale.

This is something
I might have chosen myself.

Aren't you going
to introduce me?

Yes, of course.

Captain Picard,
this is Minuet.

Minuet, Captain
Jean-Luc Picard.

Enchantee.

Comme c'est merveilleux
de vous voir ici.

Incroyable!
Vous etes Parisienne?

Au fond, c'est vrai.
Nous sommes tous Parisiens.

Oui, au fond,
nous sommes tous Parisiens.

The spirit of that city
can always enchant my soul.

I have been hoping
to meet you.

Oh, have I been the subject
of conversation?

Indirectly.

Come, join us, Jean-Luc.

A glass of wine?

Thank you.

Will was saying how much
he enjoys this assignment.

It's a credit to you.

For a ship and crew
to function well

it always starts
with the captain.

You set the tone.

At this moment, it is you
who are setting the tone.

The sophistication
of this program is remarkable.

In what way?

The holodeck has given us
woodlands and ski slopes

figures that fight

and fictional characters
with whom we can interact.

But you...

you're very different.

You adapt.

You spoke to me
in French.

It was very simple.

When I heard your name

I merely accessed
the foreign language bank.

That's very impressive.

Oui, mon chou.

Now what are
you doing?

I am awaiting inspiration.

Commander Data?

This is Commander Data.
Go ahead, please.

I'm getting an indication

of possible trouble
in Main Engineering, sir.

Can you be
more specific?

I'm afraid not.

I'm reading a problem with
the magnetic containment field

which contains the antimatter.

Could you come up here?

We'll go to Engineering, since
that's where the trouble is.

Wes, don't disturb the Captain
or Commander Riker

until we check this out.

Aye, sir.

Bridge, this is
Main Engineering.

This is the Bridge.

Are you running
any test programs up there?

No.

Are the Bynars?

Not to my knowledge.
Is there a problem?

I don't know.

There's no one on duty here

and we're getting
some very strange readings

from the magnetic
containment field.

The field is
deteriorating.

Contact the Captain
immediately.

I am initiating red alert.

Data, I can't maintain
the integrity

of the containment
field.

Engineering to Captain.

If the antimatter
is released

the ship will be destroyed.

Nothing I do
has any effect.

I'm losing it.

Data, I've rechecked
every circuit.

This is not a misread
by the computer.

Computer,
situation analysis.

Estimate release of antimatter
in four minutes, 18 seconds.

17 seconds.

16 seconds.

Engineering to Bridge.

This is the Bridge.

Alert starbase.

Inform them we are
abandoning the ship.

Tell them why.

Initiate automated
sequence for departure.

Set course and speed
to put maximum distance

between the Enterprise
and any inhabited planets.

Shouldn't we wait
for the Captain's approval?

There is no time.

Based on all information
presently available

the decision is correct.

This is Lieutenant Commander
Data speaking for the Captain.

Abandon ship.

This is not a drill.

All personnel,
this is not a drill.

I say again

abandon ship.

All personnel,
this is not a drill.

Abandon ship.

Decks two through four
to cargo transporters.

Decks five through ten

proceed to transporters
one, two, three and four.

Decks six through 16

proceed to transporters
five, six

seven, eight, nine and ten.

Hold your positions,
please.

Prepare to energize.

And energize.

...proceed to transporters
1 1, 12, 13 and 14.

Decks 29 through 42

proceed to transporters 15, 16

17, 18, 19 and 20.

This is not a drill.
This is not a drill.

Well, key it up again.

What's going on?

Please, stand
out of the way.

The Enterprise is
being evacuated.

Why?

Some problem in Engineering.

Get a security team
together.

Aye, Lieutenant.

Ship's Log, supplemental:

This is Lieutenant
Commander Data.

I have put the ship
on automated departure

and ordered the complete
evacuation of the Enterprise.

Everyone remaining is leaving
on foot or beaming off.

Computer, where are the
Captain and Commander Riker?

All decks empty.

Curious.

The Captain is usually
the last to leave.

Let's go.

We've only got
41 seconds.

I think we're the last.

I hope we are.

Did you see the Captain
and Commander Riker?

No. Are they not
here on Starbase?

No. We thought that--

You mean they're still
on board the Enterprise?

Yes.

Sir, where is
your transporter room?

We have to beam
back and get them.

You haven't time.

This is Starbase 74.

The Enterprise magnetic field
is regenerating.

Wait a minute.
How is that possible?

Unknown.

That changes nothing.

The Captain and Commander Riker
must be in trouble

or they'd be here.

Now, look-- your ship
is almost clear.

And the boy
never found out?

Oh, yes, but not
until later

when he came back into the
room with his little sister.

Oh, I bet both of them
were all smiles.

Yes, but by that time, both
of them had been found out.

You handled that
in a very thoughtful way.

You're very good
with people.

Don't you agree, Jean-Luc?

She's so very different
from the other images

we've experienced
on the holodeck, isn't she.

She's... she's
more intuitive.

It's as though she'd been
plugged into my subconscious.

She already knows
what I want her to say

before I'm aware of it myself.

I suppose it's an
understandable progression.

Computers make decisions
based on input

and we humans give off

a multitude
of subtle signs

that... that communicate
our emotions.

It's uncanny.

I could develop
feelings for Minuet

exactly as I would
for any woman.

Doesn't love always
begin that way--

with the illusion
more real than the woman?

Oh, Jean-Luc, spoken
like a true Frenchman.

Well, I think I'll be leaving.

Oh! Don't go.

Two's company.

We have time.

There's no rush.

I'd really like it
if you would stay.

Yes, Captain, stay.

This is your diversion,
Number One, not mine.

Wait. We haven't danced.

I... I don't dance.

Then some more wine.

No, thank you.

Wait! Please!
Please, don't go.

You can't. Not yet.

Why? What's the matter?

Why can't he leave?

Exit.

Captain to Bridge.

Situation report.

Riker to Bridge.

Computer, explain red alert.

Initiated as
a programmed response.

The magnetic field containing
the antimatter had weakened.

There was no
fail-safe available.

Why wasn't I notified?

Unknown.

Present condition?

The magnetic field
is now restored.

Containment is restored.

Propulsion is
at maximum efficiency.

Locate Lieutenant
Commander Data.

Not on board the Enterprise.

Explain.

All Enterprise personnel except
the Captain and First Officer

have been evacuated.

Evacuated?

Was the situation
that critical?

Yes.

Are we still docked
at the starbase?

No.

Position report.

Coordinates 4159.26
by 81921 by 312.

Heading, 233 mark 45.

Destination?

Planet Bynaus
in the Beta Magellan system.

The Bynars.

Am I to understand
the Bynars

have stolen
the Enterprise?

That information
is not available.

It's the Bynars,
and you're part of this.

Yes.

They made you the lure
to keep me here.

They programmed you
while I was relaxing.

Yes.

When they saw
your interest in me

they thought I could distract
you and keep you here.

That explains Riker.
But what about me?

Your being here was just
a fortunate happenstance.

What do they want with me?

What do they want
with the Enterprise?

What's their purpose?

I'm not programmed

to give you that information.

Come on, Number One.

We've got to regain control
of our ship.

Okay, so what
do we do?

Which is the nearest
Starfleet vessel?

The Trieste.

I know the Trieste--
too small, too slow.

Plus it's 66 hours away.

Where are the Bynars?

I haven't seen them.

Then they are obviously
still aboard.

Another Starfleet vessel
must be sent

to intercept the Enterprise
at Bynaus.

They might be taking the ship
to their home planet.

What makes you think so?

It is the best place
for us to start.

Picard. Access.

Captain's Log, supplemental:

We know who has commandeered
the Enterprise-- the Bynars.

We can't communicate
with the Bridge.

Commander Riker and l

will now try to regain control
of our ship.

This way.

That's towards
Engineering.

That's our first step:

Verify containment
and initiate auto-destruct.

Initiate auto-destruct?

Our ship has been commandeered
by a force

of unknown size and intent.

We're here alone.

We must assume
the worst.

If we don't
regain control

then no one else
must have it, either.

Now...

this is the one decision

involving the operation
of this vessel

which requires you and l
to be in total agreement.

It's the time allotted
that concerns me.

As to that,
there's no option.

I know. It's a five-
minute countdown.

Well, that's sufficient
to get to the Bridge.

Once there, either we'll
get control of the vessel

shut off the auto-destruct
or we won't.

But this vessel must not
fall into hostile hands.

Then let's set it and get going.

Recognize Picard

Jean-Luc, Captain.

Recognize Riker

William T., Commander.

Set auto-destruct sequence.

Does the First Officer concur?

Yes, set auto-destruct
sequence... now.

Auto-destruct will detonate
in four minutes and 59 seconds.

The only place we can stop this
is on the Bridge. Let's go.

What do you make of this, sir?

An enormous
amount of data

is being received
and stored

in the main
computer.

Just stored. Why?

That's another piece
of this puzzle.

Bridge access denied.

They've locked it off.

We must find another
way to get in.

One of us could beam
into the Bridge.

No. It takes several
seconds to materialize.

You wouldn't
stand a chance.

I could beam
into the turbolift

force the doors,
take them by surprise.

No. We'll both beam
in simultaneously

to different areas
of the Bridge.

With luck, one of us
will be a distraction.

There must be only
four minutes left.

Still no response
from the Enterprise.

They would answer
if they could.

Someone else has
control of the ship.

Do you think
I am responsible?

Responsible?

How could you
possibly have known?

My station is
on the Bridge.

You can't be on the Bridge
every second, Data.

You are wrong, Geordi.
I can.

I do not need rest or diversion.

I should not have been painting.

I was negligent.

That's a pointless
discussion, Data.

You could have been
on the Bridge

and it still
might have happened.

Commander Quinteros, you
have three ships in here.

We need one of them now.

We're rushing repairs
on the USS Melbourne

but it's still 18 hours
until she'll be ready.

There's nothing else you can do.

Set coordinates
for main Bridge.

Port forward for me,
aft for you.

You're on pad two.

I've set a ten-second delay.

Set phasers on stun.

Number One,
good luck.

Over here, Captain.

Why did you steal my ship?

Please...
try... to...

help... us.

Cancel auto-destruct.

Does the First Officer agree?

Affirmative.

Auto-destruct, cancel.

We're in orbit
around Bynaus.

How are they?

They appear dead.

Let's see if we can get
some answers from Bynaus.

Their main computer is off.

All sensors reveal

that all the equipment
on their planet is inert.

They can neither send
nor receive any messages.

What about all those people
down there

who are totally dependent
on their computer?

Are they still
functioning?

They're probably
like these Bynars here, dying.

What is this all about?

Why did they steal the ship
and bring it here?

What is their purpose?

They went to an awful
lot of trouble

to clear computer space.

Let's see what they stored.

Captain, it's enormous.

Every byte of free space
in the computer

has been filled.

They must have
made a core dump

from their world
into our computer.

I can't get in.

I wish they'd left a note.

Maybe they did.

Minuet.

Tell me what
this is all about.

A star in the Bynar system
went supernova

and they miscalculated.

The electrical magnetic pulse
from the explosion

was going to knock out
their main computer.

And so their only choice

was to transfer
all the stored information

and shut down until
after it passed

and then reactivate
their system

and transfer the information
back to the main computer.

The Enterprise has
the only mobile computer

Iarge enough to handle
all that information.

So what went wrong?

Why are they dying?

The star went supernova
before it was expected

and you were late arriving
at Starbase 74.

Why didn't they
say something?

Why didn't they
just ask for help?

I don't know.

I don't have
those answers.

Is there anything
we can do?

Yes, return the data

stored on
the Enterprise's computer

back to the one on Bynaus.

How can we do that?

You don't know?

Yes, if I had the file name.
But we don't. Do you?

I don't know
what you're talking about.

They wouldn't
intentionally hide it

make it difficult
for us to find.

It must be right
in front of our faces.

We should contact
Starbase 74

and see if anyone
can decipher this.

They're dying.

They meant you no harm.

It was their world
they were trying to save.

Help them, Will. Hurry.

Please.

Starbase 74, this
is the Enterprise.

Do you read me?

This is Starbase 74.

Captain Picard,
what is your situation?

We'll go into that later.

Right now, I must speak to
Lieutenant Commander Data.

I am here, sir.

Data, the Bynars have stored

an enormous amount of
material in our computer.

We need to access
it and we can't.

The access would be available
by code or password.

Yes, I know that, Data,
but what could it be?

File names can be anything, sir.

They want us to find it.

They would have kept it simple.

Then a name or a place.

It could be something personal.

In this case, in binary language

which is ones and zeros

in groups of eight
or 16 characters.

Would they have kept it
that simple?

Try it. Picard out.

That's the file.
It'll work now.

Now access the file.
Start the transfer.

So much for that idea.

Let me get on the
other position.

The Bynars
always work in pairs.

Maybe that is
also required.

Uh-huh.

It appears to be successful.

Their system has started up.

Their resident diagnostic
program is running.

Their system
is absolutely incredible.

-Our world
-is reactivated.

-Our people
-express their gratitude.

-We will return to
-your starbase for whatever

-punishment your system
-requires of us.

Why didn't you just
ask for our help?

-You might have
-said no.

There was a chance
we would have said yes.

-Our need was too great
-to risk rejection.

And so you stole it.

Their reason was part
of the binary thinking.

For them there are
only two choices.

One or zero, yes or no.

Why did you lure me
to the holodeck

and hold me there?

-Because we knew we might die

-and we needed someone

-to restore our computer
-and you did.

No one has been hurt.

You've achieved
your objective.

You have your planet
back in order.

We have our ship.

Well, it's been some time
since I had the conn.

But not to worry, Number One.

You're in good hands.

Starbase 74.

Warp two.

Engage.

Everything's under control.

USS Enterprise has cleared
the starbase perimeter.

Is everything all right?

We're fine.
Everything is in order.

But now I want a complete check:
all systems, all divisions.

What about the Bynars?

Hand them over to Quinteros.

There will be a hearing.

-We understood that
-would happen.

Follow me,
please.
