Picard:
Captain's log, stardate 41798.2.

We have been ordered by starfleet
to proceed to the lorenze cluster

and investigate the disappearance
of the light cruiser, USS Drake,

which was in that system
trying to unravel a mystery of its own,

which began
when recent long-range probes

indicated that all intelligent life
on the planet minos had disappeared.

Number one?

No help from
the communications log, sir.

The Drake reported arriving at minos
and then wasn't heard from again.

Mr. Data?

Data:
The citizens of minos gained fame

during the erselrope wars
as arms merchants.

They manufactured sophisticated
and highly advanced weaponry.

Yeah, for which side?

We are approaching
the planet minos, sir.

- Standard orbit, Mr. La forge.
- Aye, sir, standard orbit.

Whatever happened to the Drake
happened quickly.

Otherwise, a man like rice
would have reported again.

- You know captain rice?
- We were at the academy together.

- Tell me about him.
- Able. Good officer.

How would he react under stress?

Paul rice is confident
to the point of arrogance,

but he carries it well because
he's usually right. He's a risk-taker.

- Really?
- I'll give you an example.

One of the final tests
in advanced navigation at the academy

provides the students
with three options.

Rice was given this test,
rejected their options,

and offered one of his own.

That's taking a risk.

And it paid off.
He received the top grade

and now that same test
has four options.

In a difficult situation,
a man like that would act aggressively.

Agreed.

Commander,
weren't you offered the Drake?

You gave up your own command
to take this assignment?

At the time, I thought
it would be more advantageous

to do a tour on the enterprise.

Captain, readings correspond
with the findings of the probe.

No signs of intelligent life-forms.

Vegetation and animal life only.

What happened to all the people?

- War?
- Disease?

A dissatisfied customer?

In every war, natural disaster,

even the most virulent plague,
there are always survivors.

Captain, we are being hailed.

How can that be,
from a planet with no people?

Your sensors indicated
no intelligent life-forms?

Correct, sir.

Something has scanned
our language banks and is hailing us.

On main viewer.

Whoever you are,
wherever you're from, greetings.

Welcome to minos,
the arsenal of freedom.

I'm captain Jean-Luc picard
of the USS...

If you need
a little something special,

be it for one target or multiple targets,
we got it.

You'll see it here on minos,
where we live by the motto:

"Peace through superior firepower."

To whom am I speaking?

To be totally armed
is to be totally secure.

Remember, the early bird
that hesitates gets wormed.

It is a recorded message, sir.

Minos, the arsenal of freedom,

perfection
in highly advanced weaponry.

- Versatility, flexibility...
- We must have triggered something

left over from the erselrope wars
when the arms business was booming.

So lock on to my signal
and beam on down.

Because we don't
just provide weapons...

- Shut that off.
- We provide complete weapon sys...

It's a heck of a sales pitch.

If an automated message system
is still functioning,

there could be other systems
on that planet that are still operational.

- Weapons systems?
- Possibly.

We're going to have to
go down to find it.

- Number one, prepare an away team.
- Lieutenant yar, data.

Commander,
I recommend a minimum complement.

I would have thought otherwise.

We'll keep the first landing party
small and mobile

until I'm confident whatever killed
the inhabitants of this planet

- isn't still down there.
- Okay.

Picard:
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.

Picard:
Captain's log, supplemental.

I've ordered an away team
to beam down to minos

to investigate the disappearance
of the Drake.

Although there are no signs
of intelligent life

coming from this
heavily forested planet,

I'm far from certain
that it is devoid of danger.

Spooky.

- Riker.
- This is the bridge.

We 7! Start a pattern search
from this point.

- Keep this channel open.
- Aye, sir.

Commander, our communications
are being monitored.

By whom?

Since there is no intelligent life,
the question is "by what?"

- Riker: Captain?
- Yes, we heard that, number one.

We'll try and track it down from here.

Tritanium. It's melted.

- What could do that?
- I don't know.

Whatever it was,
it's beyond our technology.

Over here.

- We've never seen anything like this.
- It's undamaged.

Maybe a demonstration model
for some potential buyer.

Maybe.

Let's spread out a little.

Commander riker,
this is ensign t'su.

I am monitoring a slight
energy buildup near your position.

- I'm not able to pinpoint the source.
- Riker: Give me a direction.

East of your position, ten meters.
I will continue monitoring.

I can't see anything through here.
The underbrush is too thick.

Hello, commander riker.

Rice.

Where did you come from?

I was over there.

We were worried about you.
I should have known you'd pop up.

How are you, commander riker?

Me? Forget about me,
what about you?

No word, no message, nothing.

- How many are with you?
- There are two others.

Where's the Drake?
Where's your crew?

Picard: Number one, a word.

We have some information
you should be aware of.

Ensign t'su?

Sensors indicate
low-level energy readings,

but the only life signs
are the away team.

You copy, number one?

Understood.

You look strange, Paul.

I was injured getting here.

- Do you need medical help?
- No.

What's your purpose here?

Commander data. Lieutenant yar.

Sir, other than ourselves,
I'm picking up no life signs here.

I know.

Riker, you didn't answer me.

Who sent you here to look for me?

Your mother.
She's worried about you.

Tell me about your ship, riker.
It's the enterprise, isn't it?

No. The name of my ship
is the lollipop.

I have no knowledge of that ship.

It's just been commissioned.
It's a good ship.

Refresh me, would you, riker?

What's its size, its complement?

Who is here with you?

What's the armament
on the lollipop?

Paul, I will only answer your questions
if you answer mine.

Why do you want to know so much
about my ship?

We're friends, aren't we?

Our top speed is warp 3.
What's yours?

Is?

Then the Drake
has not been destroyed.

- The Drake?
- Yes, your ship.

- Of course, my ship is the Drake.
- Where is it?

- Classified.
- Classified?

Please, it's important.
Our survival depends on knowing.

What's the armament on your ship?

- Ten.
- Ten? I don't understand. Ten what?

Six.

Commander riker,
your answers make no sense.

You haven't used
my first name once, Paul.

You remember it, don't you?

You don't, do you?

Because you don't exist.
You're a fake.

You're an image of the original,
aren't you?

Answer me!

Picard: Report, number one.

The image of rice
has been replaced by something

which is hovering
several meters away.

Number one,
get your team back up here.

Prepare to beam up.

Commander!

What's happened, number one?
Report.

Report. Report.

He can't answer you, captain.

Commander riker has just been
encased in some kind of energy field.

Is he alive?

Unknown.

Picard:
Captain's log, supplemental.

Some kind of weapon,

which for a time
took the form of captain Paul rice,

has enveloped commander riker.

Transporter room 3, have you been
able to lock on to the away team?

Man: I am unable to lock on
to commander riker, sir.

Ensign t'su, situation report.

Previous energy readings are gone.

Data, have you been able to assess
commander riker's condition?

Data: He appears to be
in some kind of stasis.

Theorize, Mr. Data.

What would be the purpose
of such an encasement?

Typically, the purpose
of such an enclosure is for storage.

Picard:
Which would suggest what?

That sooner or later
someone or something

will be along to collect him.

- Stand by. I'm coming down.
- You, sir?

Yes. Dr. Crusher, this is the captain.
Meet me in transporter room 3.

Mr. La forge,
you have command of the bridge.

- Aye, sir.
- And whatever happens down there,

your prime responsibility
is to the ship.

Understood, sir.

Captain, I take great exception
to your decision to beam down.

Is it just riker?

Yes. Apparently he's been confined
inside some sort of forcefield.

Energize.

- Any changes?
- Data's figured out what it is.

- Are you getting any life signs?
- He is alive.

What appeared in the form
of captain rice

is an intelligence-gathering device
used during the erselrope wars.

Probably developed here.

It projects an image
of someone the subject will trust,

gets as much information
as possible.

If it's found out,
it encases the subject

to await a more detailed
interrogation later. Clever.

- Can you remove it?
- Data: Possibly.

But I will need to know
the exact frequency,

and I cannot determine the risk
to commander riker.

We have little choice.

Whatever has him is interrupting
the transporter beam. Remove it.

Data:
This will take some time, sir.

I am picking up energy readings.

Captain, lieutenant la forge here.

Sensors indicate energy readings
in your area.

Doctor, over here!

- Oh, no!
- Doctor!

Doctor.

This one is different.

It's anticipating. Data, I need you.

Set your phaser on kill.
I'll lead left, you get it.

Captain?

Captain picard.

- I have a malfunction.
- Enterprise, this is yar.

Mine's out too.

The close pass by the weapons must
have disrupted our communicators.

Keep working. I'll look for the captain
and Dr. Crusher.

Ow, my arm.

How bad is it?

It's bad.

Hey, come on. Come.

- Unh.
- Agh.

All right, don't worry.
We'll get you out of here.

Enterprise, this is the captain.
Two to beam up.

Enterprise.

Enterprise, come in.

Data, lieutenant yar.

What's wrong?
Why aren't they working?

I don't know. But don't worry,
as soon as they realize

that our communicators
are not working,

the sensors will find us
and geordi will beam us up.

Now, just you hold on. Uh...

I'm sorry about this.

Hold on. It won't be long.

I must keep conscious.

Data? I can't find them.

Step back, please.
I believe I have found it.

All vital signs returning to normal.

Good. Now geordi
can get us out of here. Come on.

The captain and Dr. Crusher
can't be far away.

Sir, I'm reading life-forms
on the planet.

All five members of the away team.

Good. They must have freed
commander riker.

Transporter room, get a lock
on the away team and beam them up.

Shields just came on.
Deflectors also up.

I'm picking up an object
off the port bow. It's firing.

Red alert. Battle stations.

We can't beam the away team up
with our shields in place.

Phasers ready.
Photon torpedoes standing by.

Locking on target.

Correction. Target has disappeared.

- Give me a full scan.
- Worf: Scanning.

No readings yet.

Wait. Something dead astern.

- Emergency power to shields.
- Object is firing.

Return fire!

No use. It's gone again.

Aft shields weakened.

Whatever they're using, our shields
can't stand up to it much longer.

Logan: This is chief engineer Logan.
Are we breaking orbit?

[Need to know. Now.

La forge: Ship's log, supplemental.
Lieutenant la forge in command.

I am unable
to beam up the away team

due to an unseen assailant
attacking the ship.

To make matters worse,

chief engineer Logan
is on his way to the bridge,

and he's not paying a courtesy call.

Why are we still in orbit?
We're taking a beating.

We've got to hold out
as long as we can.

If we can disable our attacker,
if only for a few seconds,

we can drop our shields
and beam the away team back aboard.

If we follow that plan,
we'll lose the enterprise.

In view of the present crisis,

I believe you should relinquish
command to me.

- No.
- I outrank you.

Mr. Logan, I'm in command.

The captain did not anticipate

the enterprise
would come under attack.

If he had,
would he have left the bridge to you?

If he had,
he wouldn't have left the ship.

Picking up an object to starboard, sir.
Heading toward us.

Lock phasers on that thing
and fire the moment it's in range.

Locking in.

The object has vanished.

Phaser-lock lost.

Starboard shields weakened.

It's cloaked itself.

You can't fight this thing and win.
We've gotta break orbit now.

Worf,

analyze its firing pattern.

- Maybe we can anticipate its location.
- Aye.

Solis, correlate the trajectory
of the energy bolts

with the attack path.

I'll compute the optimum spread of
phasers and photon torpedoes to hit it.

- Right.
- Lieutenant la forge.

Geordi.

I know you wanna do what's best
for the enterprise.

So do I. Now, the best thing...

The best thing, Mr. Logan,

is for this discussion to end
and for you to return to your duties.

Now, I'm in charge until relieved by
commander riker or captain picard.

You're ignoring my greater rank
and experience.

Not at all. In fact, just the opposite.
I'm counting on it.

Now, I need you to get back down
to engineering

and get me every available scrap
of emergency power you can.

The more power we can channel
to the shields,

the longer we'll be able to hold out.

Now, Mr. Logan.

Worf, have you got a lock on it yet?

It's impossible to be sure.

Tasha:
Maybe you should wait here

while data and I search
for the captain and Dr. Crusher.

Riker: No, I'm a little groggy,
but I'll be all right.

I am getting energy readings.

Riker: Look out!

We'll do it just like before.

It's got a deflector shield.

The product continues to upgrade
and improve.

We'll concentrate our fire
and try to collapse its shield.

Commander, we'll need you too.

You're right,
they keep on getting better.

The weapons are appearing
at intervals of precisely 12 minutes.

This one took everything we had. I don't
know how we'll handle the next one.

We're not gonna wait around.
Let's find the rest of our team.

We seem to be in some kind
of underground structure.

But I don't see any...

Hey.

No, you don't. No time to sleep.

- I'm tired.
- Come on, stay with me.

Come on now, stay awake.
That's an order.

I must have lost a lot of blood.

I've stopped the bleeding.

No. There's another wound. My leg.

Not to worry.
Everything's gonna be fine.

Now, this is gonna hurt a bit.

I've heard that before.

Hey. Hey, doctor.
Stay awake. Come on.

There's a lot of blood.
What do I do next?

- Doctor? _ uh...

The wound needs a clotting agent.

I couldn't find your medical kit.

Those roots, what are they?

Roots? What, these?

Break off a piece and taste it.
Don't swallow it.

Very bitter.

Apply some to your hand.

Is there a color change?

It's turning yellowish.

Good. Now, spread as much of it
as you can onto the wound.

Hey, hey, doctor. Now stay awake.

You've gotta help me.

I need your help.

All right, now listen.

Your patient has lost a great deal
of blood from multiple lacerations.

The patient's going into shock.

So, what do I do?

Elevate the legs
and try to keep her warm.

Good. All right.

- Unh! Unh.
- Stay with me, doctor.

Keep talking.

You didn't happen
to bring a blanket with you, did you?

I'm going to look for a way out.

Now, you keep up your end.

Stay awake.

La forge:
All right, I know it's risky,

but a shot in the dark
is better than nothing.

Let's see if we can get lucky.

I can't seem to pin down the pattern.

- There.
- Sorry, sir. I should have seen that.

No, that's all right. You're doing fine.

Program laid in.
Phasers and photon torpedoes ready.

Okay, Mr. Solis,
bring her about to 23, Mark 185.

Aye, sir.

Fire! Now!

Phasers and photons firing.

We missed!

Number four shield buckling.

- Number three shield nearing failure.
- Logan: Bridge, this is engineering.

I can't hold this power level
much longer.

You've got to do something.

T'su:
Backup systems are overloaded.

Backup systems failing.

Logan: La forge, this is Logan.
Tell me something.

Mr. Logan, report to the bridge.

Logan: On my way.

Deflectors are breaking down.

We have less than one minute
of reserve.

We're getting out of here.

Lieutenant solis,
set course 315, Mark 007.

Course set.

- You are leaving them on the planet.
- Speed warp 5.

Warp 5. Aye.

Engage.

Hold course and speed
for 28 seconds,

then come to a full stop.

Mr. Logan,

had we stayed,
we would have been destroyed.

There are over a thousand people
on this ship.

I have a responsibility to them.

What about your responsibility
to captain picard

- and the members of the away team?
- I have a responsibility to them as well.

Mr. Logan,
you are going to take command

of the saucer section.

Backup crew,
report to the main bridge.

- You're going to separate?
- Yes.

I want you to take the saucer section,
proceed immediately to starbase 103.

You can't fight what you can't see.

And you still won't be able
to see that thing.

Maybe we won't have to.

- Risky.
- Yes.

That's why we're gonna separate.

Worf, solis, t'su.

Report to the battle bridge.
I'll join you in a moment.

Worf: Secure connector levels.
Ensign: Aye, sir.

Come in.

Lieutenant, I need to speak to you.

We're a few minutes away
from separating the battle section.

I don't have a lot of time.

I know.

But as counselor, I have a duty

to evaluate the emotional fitness
of the crew.

And you sense I'm nervous.

Well, you're right.

Counselor, deep down I'm shaking.

I'm about to take this ship into battle,

and there's a good chance
she'll be blasted out of the sky.

I'm taking a huge risk here.

And there are a lot of lives at stake.
So, yeah, I'm nervous.

- Did you expect otherwise?
- Not at all.

You're under tremendous pressure,
more than you've ever experienced.

You think I'm about to crack?

On the contrary.

You should be proud of the way
you're handling command.

You've kept a cool head,
taken charge,

and made some
very difficult decisions.

Then what did you
wanna see me about?

Solis: Lieutenant la forge.
Battle bridge is manned and ready.

However, deflectors have not yet
returned to full efficiency.

- Let's get them there, Mr. Solis.
- Aye, sir.

I'll join you shortly. La forge out.

Did you hear the uneasiness
in his voice?

Solis is doing a fine job.

Yes, but he isn't handling the stress
as well as you are.

Both he and ensign t'su
are very young.

No, wait, they're good officers.

Yes, but they lack battle experience.

They're worried
about making mistakes,

and they need
some encouragement.

What do I do?

Just remember,
it's you they draw strength from.

They look to you for guidance
and for leadership.

Help them.

Show confidence in them.

Like captain picard
showed confidence in me.

Right.

I understand. Thanks, counselor.

Prepare to initiate
separation sequence.

- All decks report ready.
- On my Mark.

Computer:
Main latch bags to zero.

Main latch retraction one to 18.
Initiate.

Static charge. Compensate.

Separation complete.

Lieutenant solis, lay in
a reciprocal course for minos, warp 5.

- Course set.
- La forge: On my Mark.

Engage.

We seem to be pretty well sealed in,
doctor.

- No exits?
- None that I can see.

If you find one, go.

Uh—huh.
Tired of my company already?

Beveny.

Beveny.

I'm tired.

I need to sleep. Woke up too early.

Talk to me. Stay awake.
Tell me something.

Tell me about, uh...
About those roots.

How did you know
of their medicinal values?

My grandmother.

Your grandmother was a doctor?

Oh, she was a botanist, then?

She helped to colonize arvada III.

Arvada III?

It's such a tragedy. Did she survive?

Once the medical supplies
had run out,

she had to use what was at hand.

So she learned all about roots
and herbs,

and then taught it to me.

You were part of that colony?
I didn't know that.

But then, there must be a lot of things
about you that I don't know.

Quite a few.

What? Now, just a minute,
here's something odd.

It's glowing.

What is it?

I don't know. It's covered up.

I'm just clearing away the dirt.

It's a view screen.

It seems to still be operative.

It's a tracking device of some kind.

Tracking what?

There are three moving indicators.
Possibly the away team.

Beautiful, isn't it?
It's the centerpiece of the whole unit.

Who's that?

A projection.

It's the automated salesman
who greeted us on the enterprise.

- What unit?
- Why, the echo papa 607.

Our proudest achievement.

The ultimate
in weapons-system technology.

Is that what's behind the attack
on my people?

Impressive demonstration, isn't it?

Demonstration? It tried to kill us.

Versatile, powerful, and easy to use.

Its various modules
can gather information,

neutralize ground personnel,
even destroy enemy space vessels.

The enterprise.

Is one of those things after my ship?
Tell me.

Of course I can tell you.

I am programmed to answer any
and all questions about the unit.

I can talk terms, arrange for delivery,
whatever you need.

It doesn't understand anything
other than what it's peddling.

Salesman: The 607 represents
the state-of—the-art

in dynamic adaptive design.

It learns from each encounter
and improves itself.

So, what went wrong?

Where are its creators?
Where are the people of minos?

Once unleashed,
the unit is invincible.

The perfect killing system.

Too perfect.

You poor fools,
your own creation destroyed you.

What was that noise?

The unit has analyzed its last attack

and constructed a new, stronger,
deadlier weapon.

In a moment,
it will launch that weapon

against the targets on the surface.

Why would I want to do that?

It can't demonstrate its abilities
unless we let it leave the nest.

They are down there, sir.

- Let's clear some of that away.
- If data's calculations are correct,

the next one should show itself
in two minutes.

Captain, can you hear me?

Yes, we're here!

Riker: Are you all right?

Dr. Crusher is seriously hurt.

We can't contact the enterprise.
The communicators are out.

Yes, our communicators are out too.

Those devices are part of a system
located down here.

Another one is about to be released.
Watch yourself.

We know, captain.

It's too far down there,
there's nothing to hold on to.

There's no way to climb down.

I'm surprised
either of them survived.

- I can do it, commander.
- How?

Jump.

Data, it's over ten meters.

Eleven point seven-five, sir.

Data, you may be sturdy,
but you're not indestructible.

Ibeheve
I can safely traverse the distance.

Captain,
data's going to join you down there.

Be my guest.

- Data.
- At your service, captain.

We'd better find a defensive position.

- If data's right...
- He usually is.

We're going to have company
any minute now.

And this time, I don't know
how we're going to stop it.

La forge:
Ship's log, supplemental.

Lieutenant la forge in command
of the star-drive section.

After separating from the saucer,

we have returned to minos
to rescue the away team.

Unfortunately,
I have only one option left,

and it's a long shot.

Shields and deflectors are up.

Ensign t'su,
when I order the shields down,

you have one responsibility.

Locate the away team
and get them up here.

You may only have a few seconds.

Approaching the planet, sir.

Ride's gonna get a little bumpy.
Things are gonna happen fast.

Just keep alert. Stay calm.
Let's focus on what we're doing.

You know yourjobs.

You've been trained,
you've been tested,

and you've earned the right
to sit in those chairs.

Picard: That sound again.

Another weapon
has been launched, sir.

We gotta find some way
to stop this system.

I would need to see
the program schematic.

Salesman: You've got it.

Is it possible to readjust
the targeting sequence?

Salesman: Absolutely.
It wouldn't be much good without it.

- Data, assign it a neutral target.
- Target must be specific, sir.

Itself, then.
Itself or its own power source.

The force of that explosion
would destroy this cavern

and everyone on the surface.

Watch now,
this is the fourth and final projectile.

The echo papa series 607 is about
to complete this phase of its mission.

- We could split up.
- What good would that do?

Confuse it, delay it, something.

It'd still get us.
It would just take longer.

It might give one of us time
to get out of range.

Out of range?

Forget I said it. These devices
wiped out an entire planet.

I don't think it has a range.

Then what does that leave us?

Right. That's what I thought.

On the other hand,
we could look for deeper cover.

You got any ideas?

None.

Give me some options, data.
Quickly.

Why don't you just shut it off?

Is that possible?

Why not? It's a machine, isn't it?

- Shut it off. — why?

You haven't seen half
of what this beauty can do.

We've seen enough.

Does that mean
you're going to buy it?

Yes, yes, we've seen enough.
You made a sale.

You won't be sorry.

- Good. Now end the demonstration.
- Done.

- Picard: Number one.
- Right here.

That was close.

La forge, everything's all right.
We've neutralized it.

It's great to hear your voice, captain.

We're a little busy right now.
I'll get right back to you.

- Phasers at full readiness.
- Keep shields at full power.

Ahead one-quarter.
Heading 25, Mark 300.

Sir, that heading will take us further
into the planet's atmosphere.

That's correct. We're gonna
lose some maneuverability,

- so keep a firm hand on the helm.
- Aye, sir.

You hope our attacker
will follow us into the atmosphere.

I'm counting on it.

Lian, scan for any air disruption
orvonex.

Cloak or no cloak,
we'll spot it by its turbulence.

- How fast can you get a phaser lock?
- Fast.

Hull temperature 1,000 degrees
and rising.

- Emergency power to deflectors.
- Solis: Velocity increasing.

La forge: Steady as she goes.

Hull temperature 2,500 degrees.

Deflectors nearing overload.

Sir, helm growing unresponsive.

- Can you compensate?
- Solis: Yes, sir, I can.

- Hull 3,000 degrees.
- Maintain heading.

Worf: We're about to lose
number four deflector.

Thirty-three hundred degrees.

- Deflector 4 is now inoperative.
- Turbulence to starboard.

- There he is!
- Scanners locked.

- Weapons locked.
- Fire!

Got him!

Shields down.

Locked on to away team.
Beaming them home now.

Come to 40, Mark 65,
ahead one-third,

and assume a standard orbit.

Standard orbit. Aye, sir.

- Relinquishing command, captain.
- As you were, lieutenant.

Mr. La forge, when I left this ship,
it was in one piece.

I would appreciate your returning it
to me in the same condition.

- You concur, number one?
- Absolutely, sir.

Lieutenant solis, plot a course
to rendezvous with the saucer section.

Sickbay reports
Dr. Crusher's going to be fine.

Course plotted and laid in.

Engage.
