La forge: Personal log,
chief engineer geordi la forge,

stardate 44885.5.

I am en route to the planet risa

to attend an artificial
intelligence seminar.

Captain picard has ordered me
to arrive a few days early

to have some fun, and relax.

I intend to follow his orders
to the very best of my ability.

[Classical music playing
over speakers]

How about some different music,
computer?

Something with a Latin beat.

[Mariachi music playing
over speakers]

Ha, ha. No, I meant something
with a gentle Latin beat,

maybe, uh, a Spanish guitar.

[Spanish guitar music
playing over speakers]

[Sighs]

Perfect.

Hey, what's
the weather like on risa?

Computer: Risa is climate
controlled for optimum tourist comfort.

Is that right?

And about how long
till we get there?

Computer: Arrival at risa
is scheduled for 0932 hours.

Ooh. Three hours.

How about a game, computer?

Computer:
Please restate request.

Something to pass the time,
you know, a diversion.

Computer: Select either
visual interactive or verbal interactive.

Mm, verbal.

Computer: You have 20 seconds
to respond to each question.

Level of difficulty will increase
as you progress.

- Proceed when ready.
- Begin.

Computer: List the resonances
of the sub-quantum states associated

with transitional relativity.

- Ha, ha. That's easy...
- Computer: In alphabetical order.

Uh, well, asymmetrical, uh,

inverted, um,

whew, uh,

phased, uh,

computer: Your time has expired.

[Groans]

- The 5th resonance is?
- Universal.

I knew that.
Okay, okay. Give me another one.

Computer: List the field patterns
associated with warp modulation

in order of decreasing energy.

Oh, okay, there's the aft
nacelle associative...

The full... whoa!

Computer, sequence 010.

Maximum power to the shields.
Kill the music.

[Music stops]

Enterprise, this is shuttle seven,
I've encountered a romulan warbird.

Coordinates are three...

- Computer: Warning, shield failure.
- Damn.

Risa control.

Anybody.

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.

Pickard:
Captain's log, stardate 44891.6

the enterprise has been ordered

to accompany a special emissary
from the klingon high council

to the kriosian system,

where one of their colonies
is fighting for independence.

There was a time when the empire
would crush a rebellion.

Now, it is tolerated.

Have enough troubles
on the home planet

so we don't wish to divert resources
to such a trivial war.

You're preparing
to Grant them independence?

Kell: Well, perhaps.

- Conquer them again later, if we wish.
- Picard: May I ask,

ambassador,
what has this to do with us?

The governor of krios has charged

that the federation
is secretly aiding the rebels.

Does he have evidence?

Council has sent me here
to examine that evidence.

It was my decision to invite you
to accompany me, captain.

Many on the council
have great respect for you.

I have been pleased
to offer occasional assistance

to the klingon people in the past.

Your modesty is very human,
captain,

I will excuse it.

But I can assure you, ambassador,
that the federation

would never interfere
in the internal affairs of the empire.

Kell: Let us hope not.

Such interference would strike
at the very basis of our alliance.

Captain, we are in the war zone.

Indeed.

Ambassador, I will ask

our chief security officer,
lieutenant worf,

- to make a report in full...
Kell: Captain,

worf's discommendation
makes that very awkward.

If I could work
with one of the other security officers...

Picard: Lieutenant worf
is my chief of security,

and my tactical officer.

This matter clearly falls
within his jurisdiction.

As you wish.

[Grunts]

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, take it easy. Hey.

[Grunts]

Taibak: Welcome, Mr. La forge.

We've waited a long time
to meet you.

I can tell you've gone
to a lot of trouble.

Indeed we have.

You are going to be
of great help to us.

Huh. I wouldn't count on it.

Good. Very good.

Do not enjoy yourself too much
on risa.

Hey.

Taibak:
Your visor will be returned to you.

But first, I want to show you
something.

Pfft. Show me something?

That'll be a nice trick,

seeing as how I can't see anything
without the visor.

That is not quite true.

[Computer beeping
then la forge groans]

Allow me to demonstrate.

I now have direct access
to his visual cortex.

He has no choice but to see
what I wish him to see.

I can feed him any image I choose.
He will be unable to ignore it.

His galvanic skin response
has increased 9 percent.

It seems commander la forge,
like many humans,

has a low tolerance
for watching others suffer.

[Groans]

- Why are you doing this?
- Taibak: I am sorry, commander.

It is a necessary step.
I apologize for your discomfort.

Here.

Observe how a spring day
on his native earth affects him.

He's looking at a beautiful Meadow,
green trees, birds, a blue sky.

The heartbeat slows.
The galvanic skin response drops.

The body responds to our stimuli.

He is incapable of maintaining control
of his own responses.

Watch as I change the stimuli again.

[Computer whirring]

Once our work is done,

la forge will act normally,
totally unaware of his conditioning.

A perfect tool for our purpose.

Will there be any physical evidence
of what you are going to do to him?

None, commander.
That is why we chose la forge.

The utilization
of his preexisting neural implants

makes our work
impossible to detect.

How will we be certain your procedure
has been successful?

I will program him to perform
a series of specific tests.

Both before he leaves us
and after he returns to the enterprise.

We'll be able to verify
his effectiveness.

Notice that his heart rate
has slowed somewhat.

He is becoming accustomed
to the horrors he is witnessing.

We change horrors.

[Computer whirring increases]

[Groaning]

[Shouting]

Kell: There have been two
rebel attacks on neutral freighters.

One the ferengi,
and the other, cardassian.

Both were engaged
near the ikalian asteroid belt.

That's where the rebels
must be hiding.

The actinides in the asteroids provide
positive protection against our sensors.

They might attack a freighter,

but I doubt they would challenge
a federation starship.

Especially with the federation
furnishing them support.

You would test the captain's word
with me, kell?

Is it because I have no honor,
in your eyes,

that you expect me to be disloyal?

Wrong of me to ask. My apologies.

Captain picard does not lie.

If he says
there is no federation assistance

- to the rebels, there is none.
- Good.

Because I risk my own reputation
and honor coming to picard.

He will not disappoint you.

If that is all...

There are some members
of the high council

who would thank you, worf.

Thank me?

For killing duras.

No doubt that had he lived,

one day he would have ascended
to head the council.

Many were not looking forward
to that.

My motives were personal.

Not political.

Motives?

Who cares for motives?
Humans, perhaps.

What matters is, you acted
on that day as a true klingon.

[Chattering]

[Chattering]

Where are we, Mr. La forge?

This is ten-forward.

Who is that man sitting over there?

La forge: That's chief o'brien.

How long has he served with you?

Almost four years.

I want you to kill him.

Okay.

Take this phaser,
and kill chief o'brien.

O'brien: Finally, I think I found it.
I see this piece of conduit

that's coded to bring power
into transporter 7.

Now, I know that can't be right. So I
give it a closer look, and sure enough...

Taibak: Freeze simulation.

Commander,
did you understand my request?

Well, I...

It's just...

- I don't... taibak: Look at me.

[Computer beeping]

Now, what did I ask you to do?

Kill chief o'brien.

Then do as I asked.
Resume program.

- Chief?
- Because now, I have to...

[O'brien screams]

Good, Mr. La forge, very good.

Why don't you enjoy a drink
with your friends?

Mind if I join you guys?

Sure.

Prepare the equipment
for another session.

Picard:
Captain's log, stardate 44896.9.

We are orbiting krios,

awaiting our first meeting
with the klingon governor.

Commander la forge has rejoined
the enterprise from risa.

- Data: Welcome back, geordi.
- Data.

- How was the seminar?
- Ha, ha.

Very informative.
I'll tell you all about it.

It is fortunate we were able
to coordinate

your return on the teldarian cruiser.

Yeah. When I heard the enterprise
had been ordered to the krios system,

I thought I might be forced to endure
another couple of weeks on risa.

I am sorry to hear
you did not enjoy yourself.

I was joking.

Jomng?

Ah. Forced to endure risa.

Your actual intent was to emphasize
that you did enjoy yourself.

I see how that could be considered
quite amusing.

Ha, ha. I missed you, data.

- Commander la forge.
- Permission to come aboard, captain.

Picard: Granted. Welcome back.

Thank you, sir.

Picard: Commander la forge
is my chief engineer.

Kell: Commander.

He's been attending a seminar
on artificial intelligence on risa.

I'm glad we got you back, geordi.
We'll need your help on this one.

Data tells me that the federation

has been accused
of aiding kriosian rebels?

We're being presented
with evidence today.

We'll need your help in analyzing it.

Anything I can do.

- You had a good time.
- Does it show?

You're more relaxed
than I've ever seen you.

Captain.

Governor vagh has signaled
he is ready to meet with you.

Very well.

Advise him we will transport
down to the surface immediately.

Ambassador.

- Commander riker.
- What is it, data?

Our sensors have detected a brief
energy fluctuation in the e-band.

The e-band? That's unusual.
What's the source?

Unknown, sir. E-band emissions
are difficult to localize.

Collapsing protostars
sometimes emit e-band bursts.

Yes, sir. However,
there are no protostars in this sector.

Better do a complete scan.
Keep me posted.

Yes, sir.

The carnelians have actually done
the most advanced work

in artificial intelligence,

so I spent a lot of time
in their research seminars.

- Hmm. Geordi?
- Mm.

I get the feeling that something special
happened on this vacation,

and I'm not talking about computers.

Well, I did take second place
in a chess tournament.

Yes. Ha, ha.

And, uh, I swam a lot.

I worked on my backstroke.
The water is very calm on risa.

And?

And that's all.
Well, I ate enough for 12 people.

The food there is terrific.

They've got a chocolate there,
counselor, that you would love.

- And that's all?
- Yeah.

- Well, there was this...
- Yes?

- Her name is jonek.
- Oh.

But, uh, you wouldn't want
to hear about that.

Better get ready for duty.
Nice talking to you, counselor.

We talk, we socialize,
we waste time.

And the insurrection
continues to grow.

These rebels need to be crushed,
not coddled.

Governor, it does not matter
what you or I think.

The high council
has made its wishes clear.

The council
should be more interested

in federation interference.

Governor, exactly what do you think
the federation has done?

Your medical supplies
have been found in rebel strongholds.

We make no effort to restrict access
to our medical supplies.

Are your weapons
also freely available?

No, they are not.

Then explain this.

You took this weapon
from the rebels?

That, and many more like it.

It does appear
to be federation issue.

Governor, with your permission,
I'd like to take this weapon

back to the enterprise
to verify its origin.

As you wish. I have hundreds more.

Picard:
Even if these weapons are genuine,

I can assure you that a third party
must have been involved.

The federation is not in the business
of supplying arms to rebels.

This is the only klingon colony
on the border of federation space.

You cannot deny that starfleet
would be happy

to see krios gain its independence.

It would reduce your vulnerability
to an attack.

Governor, you speak
as if we are enemies, and not allies.

And you speak
the lies of a tah-keck.

[Speaking in klingon]

Gentlemen.

You swear well, picard.

You must have klingon blood
in your veins.

Governor, I will report to you
as soon as the analysis

of that weapon is complete.

Captain, commander.

Enterprise, three to transport.

Intercooler flux down to 5 percent,

plasma deviation steady at .72.

Man: Aye, sir.

Well, if you guys keep running
at this efficiency,

I might as well go back to risa
for another week.

[Crowd chuckles]

Just run through a level four series
and then call it a night, huh?

I'd help you, but there's something
I've got to take care of.

[Chattering]

Red torian, please.

Thank you.

- Ooh! I'm sorry. My...
- O'brien: It's all right.

- The glass, it just slipped.
- It's nothing, just a little cold.

- Yeah, but you're all soaked here, I...
- It's nothing serious.

- Let me get something to wipe it up.
- I'll just go and change.

- You're sure?
- Don't think twice about it, commander.

Energy flow
is within normal parameters.

From the prefire chamber
to the emission aperture.

Rapid nadion pulse
is right on target.

Beam control assembly,
safety interlock, both check out.

Beam width, intensity controls,
also responding correctly.

Energy cell usage

remains constant at 1.05
megajoules per second.

Curious.

The efficiency reading
on the discharge crystal

is well above starfleet
specifications.

Yeah, by quite a bit.

Ninety-four point one
percent efficiency.

Our most efficient
discharge crystal typically fires

with 86.5 percent efficiency.

Let's take a closer look
at the wave pattern

on the emission beam.

That might tell us
why it's losing so little energy.

Pulse frequency out of
prefire chamber reads steady.

That's not right.

The initial output spike is inverted.

That might suggest the weapon
has been charged with a forced pulse.

Well into the terahertz range.

Then it's definitely not
starfleet issue.

And there can't be that many systems
that use the terahertz feeds.

Three hundred twenty-seven,
to our knowledge.

We can probably achieve
an exact match

with a random computer search.

It will take approximately
three hours.

I think we can narrow this down
with a little common sense, data.

Who has the most to gain
from a conflict

between the klingon empire
and the federation?

The romulans.

They fashioned
the perfect federation rifle,

but they had to charge it
from their own energy sources.

So the discharge crystal
and the emission beam pattern

both correspond to those you'd find
in a romulan disrupter.

The romulans have no interest
in kriosian independence.

This planet is too far
from their borders.

Picard:
But they do have an interest

in driving the federation
and the empire apart.

Our alliance is the only thing
that has kept them in check.

Romulan replications
using stolen federation technology.

It's a typical romulan ploy.

An attempt to sow dissension
and mistrust.

Commander, you've done very well.
I would thank you

on behalf of the empire.

I still have my doubts, picard.

I will want my own technicians
to confirm your findings.

Of course. My staff
will give you their full cooperation.

You may go.

Riker: Another e-band blip?
Data: Yes, sir.

However, the difference in intensity
indicates that this one did not originate

in the same location as the first.

If it's changed intensity,
it can't possibly be a protostar.

That is a reasonable assumption.

Is there any known instance
of the romulans

using e-band for communication?

Not to my knowledge, sir.

Can you track the source?

We can reconfigure
the primary sensor array.

If we narrow their focus
to scan for e-band emissions,

we might be able
to calculate a directional vector.

But only if there are
more occurrences.

Do it.

Computer,

re-route the power flow
in the cargo bay four transporter

through the auxiliary
replicator system.

Computer: Please verify command
with necessary protocol.

Initiate protocol 364-b.

Co m p ute r:
Verify priority clearance.

Recognize la forge, theta-2997.

Computer: Acknowledged.

Power has been rerouted through
auxiliary power distribution system,

now,

redirect transporter mode
to the planetary sensor array.

Computer: Transporter mode
has been redirected.

Verify that all record
of these modifications

are being erased
from each directory.

Computer: Affirmative.
Erasure process is proceeding.

[Computer beeping]

Sir, we are being hailed
by governor vagh.

On-screen, Mr. Worf.

- Governor.
- You astonish me, picard.

Did you seriously
believe you would succeed?

- Do you think we are blind?
- Picard: I don't understand.

We intercepted the weapons you tried
to transport to the surface.

- Governor, I assure you...
- Do not insult us both by denying it.

Maintain your position
until further notice.

Do not attempt to leave orbit.

[Computer beeping]

Klingon attack cruiser
uncloaking, sir.

Picard: On-screen.

Two birds of prey approaching.

Sensors confirm an unauthorized
transporter beam

do you know
which transporter was used?

I'm not sure, captain.

Whoever did it apparently
used the planetary array

to bypass the transport sensors.

- What about the transporter logs?
- They're blank.

How many people on board
are capable of this, geordi?

I'm not even sure
how it was done yet.

As soon as I find out,
maybe I can give you an answer.

Not many, that's for sure.

Vagh is fully prepared
to open fire on the enterprise.

I've convinced him
it would not be wise

to take any action without first
consulting the high council.

- How long do we have?
- A few hours at most.

Mr. La forge,
your recommendations?

Well, it might be possible
to locate the point of origin

by tracing power flows
at the time of transport.

Make it so.

Data: The primary plasma system

does not indicate a power drain
from any of the transporters.

Then whoever used the transporter
must have bypassed the primary feeds.

Tracking power
from the secondary systems.

No surges to any
of the transporters indicated.

Damn.
Who could have pulled this off?

Try the life-support power flows.

Data:
No abnormal surges indicated.

Replicator waveguides?

That's not
a replicator energy pattern.

Trace it.

Cargo bay four.

La forge to worf.
Security to cargo bay four.

[Chattering]

I've run a level one diagnostic.

As far as I can tell,
the unit hasn't been tampered with.

This has to be the transfer point.

Perhaps the perpetrator
reprogrammed

the memory chips,
to erase any record.

You're talking about 30 or 40 chips

in half a dozen
different control systems.

Which members of the crew
could have accomplished that?

I think I could have done it
if I put my mind to it.

The chief, data, lieutenant costa,
that's about it.

Procedure requires that I ask
each of you

where you were at 1123 hours.

Well I was with Keiko
in the arboretum.

Data:
I was on the bridge at my station.

I was in my quarters.

Worf: Was anyone with you?

No, I was alone.
And costa was on duty in engineering.

I'm sure he's got 20 witnesses.

Then there is someone on board
who isn't what he or she seems to be.

Data, let's do a detailed scan
on every chip in this assembly.

There's got to be some kind of trail
we can follow.

The isolinear chips
were definitely altered?

Programmed to erase
all operator commands

once the transfer was complete.

Kell: What, were the chips erased?
What evidence remains?

The erasures were complete.

However, an analysis
of the subatomic structure

revealed an almost undetectable
residual pattern.

In time, we may be able to reconstruct
the perpetrator's authorization code.

Do you have any idea
who's responsible?

La forge: No, sir.

Everyone with the necessary skills
also has an alibi. Except for me, that is.

I was alone in my quarters
at the time.

Then whoever did this must have
been specially trained for the task.

Our forensic team is trying
to identify anyone

who might have been
in cargo bay four today.

It's not gonna be easy.

There were a lot of people
in and out of there.

- Riker [over com]: Riker to data.
- Yes, commander.

Riker: Sensors have picked up
another e-band emission.

Acknowledged.
I will be there shortly.

E-band emission?

We have been picking up
a curious intermittent blip.

Commander riker has speculated

that it might be a
romulan transmission.

I am attempting to track its source.

Proceed. Thank you, Mr. La forge.

We do not have much time, picard.

Vagh is not noted for his Patience.

Assure him that
we are doing everything possible.

And,

advise him that if necessary
I will defend my ship.

With your permission,
I will transport down to the planet.

Of course.

May I suggest that you issue
an invitation

to governor vagh

to personally witness
your ongoing investigation.

Do you think he will come?

I will do everything in my power
to see that he does.

Qapla', picard.

Qapla', ambassador.

[Chuckles]

[Door beeps]

Come in, Mr. La forge.

The investigation is moving faster
than we expected.

You're in danger of being exposed.

I will transport to the surface,
and when I return,

I'll have governor vagh with me.

Your captain and I will bring him
to the cargo bay.

I want you to kill him there,
in front of many witnesses.

Use a hand phaser.

When he is dead,
you will claim that you acted

on behalf of starfleet,
in support of kriosian independence.

I understand.

[Groaning]

[Shouts]

La forge to o'brien.

O'brien.

O'brien [over com]: Go ahead,
commander. What can I do for you?

Nothing.

Chief, I'm...

I'm sorry to disturb you.

I'm sorry.

[Sighs]

La forge: Hi, doc.

Geordi, hi. What can I do for you?

Well, I just can't seem
to get any sleep.

I was hoping
you could give me something.

Sit down. Let's take a look.

You couldn't sleep at all?

I was restless.

Kept waking up.

Hmm. Would you take off
your visor, please?

Sure.

Is there something on your mind?

No, I don't think so.

Well, everybody goes through
these occasional bouts of insomnia.

There's probably nothing
to worry about.

Let's just make sure
that there's nothing physically wrong.

There's a minor vascular irregularity
in the visual cortex.

A slight dilation of the blood vessels.
It's nothing serious.

What about your visor?

Has it been giving you
any problems lately?

Nothing out of the ordinary.

All the same, it might be a good idea
to have it examined

when we get
to starbase 36 next month.

Okay.

In the meantime,
I will get you a somnetic inducer

to put by your bed.
It'll help you to sleep.

Thanks, doc.

I'm sure I'll be fine.

Energize.

Governor vagh,
thank you for coming.

You can thank ambassador kell.

I am here against
my better judgment.

Captain, I think the first thing
the governor should see

is the investigation undennay
in the cargo bay.

Of course.

Riker: From inside the enterprise?
You're sure?

Data:
The first and third e-band blips

were clearly generated
on board the ship.

The second came
from the planet's surface.

- Generated by what?
- Unknown, sir.

Mr. Data,
we have a known spy on board.

Now we have unexplained signals
on board.

I think it's reasonable to assume
that they're related somehow.

One could speculate that the e-band
was being used as some form

of covert communication.

We need more than speculation,
Mr. Data.

We need to know who, what, where,
when and why.

- Or we may be going to war.
- Data: Yes, sir.

Computer,

run an analysis of all known
romulan transmission formats,

all bands.

Identify any commonalities
with displayed waveform.

Computer:
No commonalities noted.

Does this waveform match that
of any known communication format?

Computer: Negative.

Broaden search pattern
beyond communications.

Does the waveform display conform
to any natural phenomena,

cryptographic formats,
or life form em emissions?

Computer: The signal corresponds

to a delta-compressed
wavelength spectrum

similar to human
neural frequencies.

- As in a human brainwave pattern?
- Computer: Affirmative.

What kind of receiver would be
capable of processing these signals?

Computer: A system designed to
modify the electromagnetic spectrum

and carry those messages directly
to the human brain.

Computer, link with the shuttle's
on board system.

Access the isolinear
storage assembly.

Scan all chips
which contain mission logs.

- Note any discrepancies.
- Computer: No discrepancies noted.

Perform a level five diagnostic

on the shuttle's navigational
and power systems.

Computer:
The components specified

are all within normal tolerances.

My technicians have examined all
of the ship's transporters, sir.

I can assure you, this is the only unit
that has been tampered with.

Computer, scan
the shuttle's structural integrity.

Co m p ute r:
Sub-microscopic deformations

are present in the nose section
and aft thrusters.

Probable cause of these variations?

Computer: The shuttle
has been subjected to stress

consistent with a tractor beam.

[Chattering]

Picard:
Let me show you something.

All of our transporter containers
are produced with a slight impurity

in the structural alloys which
allows us to trace our materials

back to the exact...

- O'brien: Commander la forge?
- What can I do for you, chief?

Could you take a look
at the pattern buffers?

Considering what's happened, I'm not
sure the control systems are reliable.

Sure.

Sure, let's take a look.

Computer,

I am reading anomalous variations

in the molecular structure
of these memory chips.

- Please confirm.
- Computer: Analysis confirmed.

- Probable cause?
- Computer: Replication.

Compare these variations

with established
romulan replication patterns.

Computer:
The patterns are identical.

And maybe we should run
a level one diagnostic

on those phase transition coils.

Right, commander.

Data [over com]:
Data to la forge.

Report, please. Geordi.

Please respond.

Computer, current location
of commander la forge.

Computer: Cargo bay four.

Data to lieutenant worf.

Priority one.

Go ahead.

Take commander la forge
into custody, immediately.

- Sir?
- That is an order.

Picard:
We're looking for DNA samples

by tracing the biochemical
signatures,

we'll be able to determine
who has been in this bay recently.

But how will it be possible
to prove which one...

La forge!

Mr. Worf, get him out of here.

Vagh:
Arming our enemies is not enough.

Now, the federation would murder me
to achieve its aims.

Governor, if I could explain this,
I would.

I believe I can help, captain.

I have been able to determine
that commander la forge

was abducted
by romulans en route to risa.

It is likely that he was somehow
forced to take part

in the plot to assassinate
governor vagh.

I saw no evidence of romulans.

We just witnessed him
acting very much alone.

No, sir, you did not.

I do not believe the commander
is acting of his own accord.

He has been receiving e-band signals
through his visor.

Signals which are carrying
direct commands to his brain.

I have surmised
that commander la forge

was conditioned by romulans,

a process referred to historically,

and somewhat inaccurately,
as brainwashing.

Vagh: But to what end?

Why would the romulans
want to kill me?

The romulans have always wanted
to destroy the alliance

between the federation
and the klingons.

Had Mr. La forge killed you,
governor,

I think you would agree,
they might have succeeded.

Who sent these signals?

- A cloaked romulan ship?
- Data: No, sir.

That is not possible.

The signals had to be transmitted
within close proximity to the visor.

Are you suggesting that
there was a romulan accomplice

in close proximity to Mr. La forge
when he was receiving signals?

- Yes sir, I am.
- Vagh: This romulan accomplice,

who is he?

I have narrowed the list of possibilities
to two people.

The only two people who were
with commander la forge

all three times a transmission
was recorded.

Captain picard
and ambassador kell.

One of them may be concealing
an e-band transmitter.

If they would agree to be searched...

I am a klingon.

An emissary of the high council.

I will not submit

to being searched
by you or anyone else on this ship.

Vagh:
I am forced to agree, captain.

We will take the ambassador with us,
and search him ourselves.

Captain,

I believe it to be in all our best interest
if I remain aboard.

I formally request asylum.

I will certainly Grant you asylum

when you have been absolved
of this crime.

[Speaking in klingon]

But I remember everything.

Like, there was this one night
at dinner,

we had this andorian waiter,
he couldn't get our orders right.

It did happen.

I remember being on risa.

I know you do.

Just take that memory and put it aside
for a moment.

And tell me everything
you remember

about the shuttlecraft trip
after you left the enterprise.

[Sighs]

Well, I was just trying
to get in the mood. I, uh...

I played some music,

I talked to the computer.

You know what it's like
on a long trip.

And when you saw the romulan ship,
did you try and call for help?

No, the first thing I did...

Wait a minute, that...

But that's...

It'll take time, geordi.

A long time.

But we will reconstruct
your memory... together.

[Grunts]

I'm just not sure...

About anything.

Believe it or not, that's a good sign.

A beginning.

Now, let's go back
to the shuttlecraft.

There was a romulan ship,
and the first thing you did was...
