- Good evening, Mr. Data.
- Actually, good morning, sir.

- Ship status is--
- No need to report.

- I'm here to do some work on my own.
- Aye, sir.

I'd like to speak to Professor Mowray
at his archaeological site on Landris ll.

Could you put it through
to my Ready Room?

Stellar Cartography has requested

a communications blackout
while they run an experiment.

- Hmm. How long will it be?
- Another three hours, 22 minutes, sir.

I can override if necessary.

- No, it's not important.
- Aye, sir.

Computer, display the latest
excavation schematics on Landris ll.

Library computer
is temporarily off-line.

Explain.

COMPUTER". Library Systems have
been allocated to Stellar Cartography.

Tea, Earl Grey. Hot.

COMPUTER". Replicator systems
are off-line at the request of-

Stellar Cartography.

What could they possibly be doing
down there?

Ugh. In or out, just close that door.

And don't move.

It will take a second
for our eyes to readjust.

Okay, elevate to 3.2, Marquez.

We're now at 3.2, commander.

Good. Good, we can do this.

No, no, no,
we're losing vertical alignment.

- Compensate, compensate.
- Compensating.

Gently, gently, Marquez.
Don't bump it.

No, no, no, hit-- Hit the--

Forget it, forget it. Lights.

Whoever you are,
you just ruined four hours of work.

You might have taken the simple
precaution of locking the door.

It's 3:00 in the morning.

Captain Picard.

I assume that you must be
Lieutenant Commander Daren.

Yes, sir. I'm sorry.

It's just we weren't expecting anybody
to be up at this hour.

Well, you're new on the Enterprise.

You'll have to learn
to expect the unexpected.

That's why I put in
for this assignment, sir.

Excellent,
now perhaps you can tell me

what was so important
that it required depriving the captain

of his cup of Earl Grey.

Earl Grey?
No wonder you can't sleep.

Computer,
bring replicators back online

and give me a cup of Daren herbal tea
blend number three.

Hot.

You shouldn't be drinking
a stimulant at this time of night.

I think you'll like this.

I've programmed seven other blends
into the replicator.

- You're bound to like one of them.
- I look forward to sampling them.

I'm sorry if the system blackouts
we requested inconvenienced you.

We're taking very precise
gravimetric readings.

It wouldn't have taken much
to throw them off.

What were the readings for?

I'm trying to construct
a mathematical model

of an emerging star system.

If it works, we'll be able to predict
the configuration of a star system

that won't be formed
for another 2 million years.

That's a long time to wait
to see if you're right.

I have a few things to do
between now and then.

Space, the final frontier.

These are the voyages
of the starship Enterprise.

to explore strange new worlds,

to seek out new life
and new civilizations,

to boldly go where no one
has gone before.

Captain, we'll be arriving
at the Borgolis Nebula in three hours.

Yes, I understand that it has
some unusual radioactive emissions.

Well, I'm sure that Stellar Sciences
will find it a most interesting study.

Commander Daren
has already requested extra time

on the main sensor array.

Well, you have the Bridge,
Number One.

Captain.

I would like to remind you

of our concert this evening
in Ten-Forward.

We will perform
Chopin's "Trio in G-minor."

I'll be there.

And so the upshot is
that we'll be close enough

for you to slip away
and see Wesley.

Oh, that's wonderful.
Thank you, Jean-Luc.

This is delicious. What is it?

It's a herbal tea blend.
I, um, found it in the replicator files.

Have you met
any of the new crew members

who came aboard at Starbase 218?

In fact, I have a new nurse, Beck.

He's an obstetrics specialist.

I met the new head
of Stellar Sciences last night.

Lieutenant Commander Daren.

Yes. Nella Daren.

She came into Sickbay
for a physical last week.

I like her. Very forthright.

Did you know

that it is now possible to predict
the configuration of a star system

which won't be formed
for another 2 million years?

- Really? No, I didn't.
- Mm-hm.

It's really quite intriguing.

The whole thing is made possible
by a complex mathematical construct

based on fractal particle motion.

But that's only the foundation.

The modeling itself
is done by gravimetric wave input.

- I see.
- Hmm.

Well, I know
this is all pretty dry stuff.

Stellar cartography
isn't everybody's cup of tea.

I'm sure it's really quite fascinating.

You know, we should be
getting along to Ten-Forward.

We're gonna be late for the concert.

- Here.
- Thank you.

- Will you excuse me?
- Yes, of course.

Well done, Mr. Data. Well done.

Commander,
that was a remarkable performance.

- You are very talented.
- Thank you.

I noticed that the applause this evening
exceeded average decibel levels.

I guess that means
they enjoyed themselves.

I think that much was obvious.

Excuse me, I have not yet
congratulated Ensign Cheney.

I'll go with you.

You must have been playing
since you were young.

I played the piano for a while
when I was small,

but I didn't put in the practice
you must have.

Well, practicing
was never my problem.

In fact, my parents
had to make me go out and play.

I wanted to ask, uh,

during the second arpeggio
of the first movement,

I noticed that you played
an F-minor chord

instead of a diminished D.

You're a musician.
What's your instrument?

- We should play sometime.
- No, no, no, I'm just an amateur.

But your choice in that arpeggio
was delightful,

not at all what one would expect.

Well, captain,
now that I'm on your ship,

maybe you should start expecting
the unexpected.

- Ah.
- Excuse me, sir.

I was hoping that my people
in Spectral Analysis

could have another few hours
on the main sensor array.

It's already allocated to Engineering.
They're running some warp-field tests.

If we go off-line now,

we'll lose the gas-flow pattern
we've been tracking.

I understand, but there are other
departments waiting to use the array.

We're at a critical juncture, sir.

Commander...

I'll see what I can do
to find you some more time tomorrow.

Tomorrow? Tomorrow.

Thank you, sir.

Computer, pause playback. Come.

Oh. Commander Daren.

I hope you don't mind me, uh,
dropping by like this.

No, please, come in. I'm delighted.

- What kind of a flute is that?
- It's, uh, Ressikan.

I've never seen one before.

They're not made anymore.

Have you been playing long?

Um...

Yes, a long time.

- I'd love to hear you play sometime.
- I'm not very good.

Heh. That doesn't matter
as long as you enjoy it.

Yes, but I wouldn't want to inflict it
on someone else.

- May I try?
- Yes, of course.

Hmm. Um...

Yes, you're not holding it quite right.
May I?

Please.

You're better than you think.

Really, we should play together.

- Uh, there isn't a piano.
- Ah, but there is.

I picked it up on Mataline ll.
It's amazing.

That is remarkable.

Well, why don't you play something?

You start and I'll jump in.

What shall we play?

What were you working on
before I came in?

- Um, Bach, the "3rd Brandenburg."
- Perfect.

Go ahead.

Uh, I'm sorry.

Oh. It's all right.

You're not used to playing
with anyone, are you?

- Just the computer.
- Hmm.

Well, I may not be
as precise as a computer,

but, well, I think you'll enjoy it more.

Uh, why don't we start
with something a little simpler?

How about...?

Good, very good.

Now let's have a little fun with it.

You try it.
Improvise around the melody.

Anything you want.

Good.

That's wonderful. Keep going.

It's so good.

You're definitely better
than you think.

Number One, my fencing partner
has canceled for this afternoon.

I was wondering
if you wanted to join me.

- Fencing?
- Mm-hm.

I'm not really very good.

Oh, it doesn't matter so long as you

Enjoy it.

- Why not?
- Good, excellent.

Fourteen hundred hours, then.

You have a mild strain.

I've been playing the piano a lot.

Guess the captain and I
overdid it a little last night.

The captain?

Yes, he plays a kind of flute.
Um, a Ressikan, I think he said.

Yes, but I didn't know
he played duets.

He never did before.

But he seemed to enjoy it.
He's actually quite promising.

I see.

Tell me, have you known him long?

Yes, a very long time.

He seems...

...somewhat isolated.

I'd say he's a very private person,
but not isolated.

There, that should help.

Hmm, that feels much better,
thank you.

- Good.
- I was afraid I might have to cancel.

Another duet?

Keep climbing.

- Where are we going?
- We're almost there.

I don't see why we couldn't
just practice in my quarters.

Ah.

Do you know where we are?

Uh, yes, this is the fourth intersect
in Jefferies tube 25.

No, this is the most acoustically
perfect spot on the ship.

The intersection acts
as a resonance chamber.

- How did you find it?
- A little exploring.

You mean to say that you crawled
through every tube on the ship?

Well, not every one.

Try it. See how it sounds.

That's beautiful. What is it?

It's, uh, an old folk melody.

I've never heard you play
with such feeling.

- Is there a problem, Geordi?
- I hear music.

Music?

- I do not hear anything.
- You sure?

I know I heard something.

- Hmm. It stopped.
- Mm.

I'd heard about Kerelian tenors
all my life,

but nothing could have prepared me
for this man's voice.

- Soaring, incredible range.
- Hmm.

Wonderful.

I understand that there are nuances
that only Kerelians can pick up.

- We just don't have the ears for it.
- Mm.

I should be finished
with my survey by 1100 hours.

Very good, commander.

Captain, the Federation outpost
on Bersallis Ill reports

that they are entering a period
of firestorm activity.

Bersallin firestorms happen
on a seven-year cycle.

They're not expecting any
for another eight months.

We don't rendezvous with the Havana
for another two days.

That'd give us plenty of opportunity
to study this phenomenon.

Helm, set a course for Bersallis Ill.

- Warp 5.
- Aye, sir.

Counselor, could I speak with you
in my Ready Room?

You have the Bridge, Number One.

Sit down, counselor.

I wanted to talk to you about
a matter of protocol.

I know there are no
Starfleet regulations

about a captain becoming involved
with a fellow officer, but...

You would like my opinion
about you and Commander Daren.

It's that obvious?

In a way that pleases people
who care about your happiness.

Yes, it is.

But I have to be concerned
about more than my own happiness.

And you think
that your feelings toward Nella

could change the way
you function as captain?

Yes, relationships with coworkers
can be fraught with consequences.

That's true.

But cutting yourself off
from your feelings

can carry consequences
that are just as serious.

You see, I've always believed
that becoming involved

with someone under my command
would compromise my objectivity.

And yet...

Captain,
are you asking my permission?

If I were, would you give it?

Yes.

Come in.

Nella?

Can I help you, sir?

I'm really very sorry
about what happened in the turbolift.

When the crew member walked in,
I felt very self-conscious.

It's going to take a while for me

to get used to the idea
of crew seeing the two of us together.

I understand.
Now, I'm glad you told me.

For a minute there,
I thought I'd misread you.

One kiss and you're off
to find somebody else.

I can assure you that I'm not given
to casual relationships.

There is something
that I want to tell you.

But not here.

Do you remember the folk melody
that I played to you this morning?

Yes, yeah.

I learned it on a planet called Kataan.

- Never heard of it.
- No, I'm not surprised.

Its sun went nova
more than a thousand years ago.

I don't understand.

The Enterprise encountered a probe
that had been sent from the planet

before it was destroyed.

And it scanned me,
and I lost consciousness.

And...

In the space of 25 minutes,
I lived a lifetime on that planet.

I had a wife
and children and a grandchild.

And it was absolutely real to me.

And when I awoke,
all that I had left of that life

was the flute
that I'd taught myself to play.

Why are you telling me this?

Because I want you to understand
what my music means to me.

Well, thank you.

- Hello.
- Sir.

Commander, I was hoping to talk
to you about Ensign Cabot's transfer.

Quantum Mechanics
doesn't want to give him up.

But he wants to come
to my department.

- How do you know that?
- I offered it to him.

Transfers are to be approved by me
before any offers are made.

- I'm sorry, we were just talking and--
- It's all right.

But Cabot should stay where he is.

Commander, please,
don't make that decision final.

I realize I shouldn't have made
the offer, but he's perfect for the job,

and Quantum Mechanics
is overstaffed anyway.

Commander, do you realize
the position you're putting me in?

Well, I think I'm just doing what
any good department head would do:

trying to build the best staff I can.

Look, I'll review the situation.
I'll let you know as soon as I can.

Come.

May I have a minute?

Yes, of course.
Come in, Number One.

It's about
Lieutenant Commander Daren.

As a department head, she comes
to me for systems allocation,

personnel transfers,
things like that, well...

I'm beginning to feel uncomfortable
with her requests.

- Because of her relationship with me.
- Yes, sir.

- Are her requests unusual?
- No.

Would you say
that she's just trying to do her job?

- Yes, sir.
- Then let her do it.

And you feel free to do yours.

Ship's resources
are your responsibility.

I've always had absolute confidence
in your judgment.

Thank you, sir.

I can't believe
I'm gonna get the chance

to study the firestorms on Bersallis.

Apparently, they're generated
by particle emissions

from the Bersallin sun.

They cause a cascade effect
on the planet's atmosphere that--

Oh, I'm boring you.

No, no, no, you're not. Not at all.

It's just that...

Commander Riker came to see me
this afternoon, about you.

About the personnel transfer?

I thought he looked uncomfortable.

He thought
I was asking for special treatment.

I was just doing what I thought
was best for my department.

And that's what I told him.

But we have to be careful.

Obviously, it's easy for people
to misunderstand.

I don't like the thought of having
to second-guess people all the time.

If I have to worry about
what people are thinking about me,

I'll be concentrating
on the wrong thing

and I won't be as effective an officer.

All I'm saying is that it's something
we have to be aware of,

but you mustn't
compromise yourself.

You must do what you have to do.

Because if I find that my head of
Stellar Sciences isn't being effective,

then I shall do what I must do

and I shall replace her.

Noted, sir.

Now, I think that we should
just forget about this

and enjoy our evening.

What about that special dessert
you promised me?

Right. Now, this is something
that I first tasted on Thelka IV.

Bridge to captain.

Go ahead, Mr. Worf.

Bersallis Ill reports that the storm
has changed its speed and heading.

They are predicting
it will hit the outpost

within eight hours
and are requesting evacuation.

I'm on my way.

Captain's log, stardate 46693.1.

We have entered the Bersallis star
system and are making preparations

to evacuate the Federation outpost
on the third planet.

A firestorm can kick up winds
of over 200 kilometers per hour

and temperatures as high
as 300 degrees C.

Incredible. What causes them?

They form when solar-flare radiation
reacts with high-energy plasma

present in the planet's atmosphere.

Wasn't the outpost constructed
to withstand the conditions?

It was, both reinforced and insulated.
But this is no ordinary storm.

It's twice as strong
as anything they've ever seen.

The outpost just won't withstand it.

We'll arrive about an hour
before the storm gets there.

And it will take us at least two hours

to evacuate the colonists
off the surface.

I led a team of geologists to study
the plasma geyser on Melnos IV.

Now, we cross-connected
a few thermal deflector units

to create a protective shield
against the heat.

A firewall.

Would something like that
work here?

You know, it might.

The storm is approaching
the outpost from this direction.

If we were to set up
a series of thermal deflector units

along the northern perimeter,
we could create a firewall

and deflect some of the heat.

The insulation from the outpost
should be able to handle the rest.

Thermal deflectors generate a field
approximately 400 meters wide.

We would need
to cross-connect six units

and align them
so that the fields overlap.

How many people would it take
to set that up?

Twelve. Two per team.

Cross-connecting that many units,
it will be a little tricky.

Once they're set up,
we'll have to leave the units in place

and transport our people out.

Nobody would be able to survive
very long outside that structure.

Let's do it.

The storm is going to interfere
with communication.

Everything will need to be coordinated
from the surface.

Data, you will coordinate
the evacuation of the colonists.

Doctor, there are nine patients
in the outpost infirmary.

Your first priority
will be to get them to Sickbay.

After that, you'll stay on the Enterprise,
be ready to receive casualties.

Marquez, you'll take some people
down and track the storm.

All the other teams will need
to be kept apprised of its heading.

Commander, you'll be in charge
of deploying the deflectors.

Let's go.

Commander Daren.

About those thermal deflectors...

There must be one
of any number of people

that coordinate their deployment.

I assume
Commander Riker chose me

because I'm the best person
for the job.

Now, didn't we agree
not to let our relationship

get in the way of our work?

I'll be all right.

Lieutenant Marquez
is already set up on the surface.

Apparently, the storm
is gaining speed.

He's estimating it'll hit the colony
in less than 50 minutes.

Ensign, make sure you maintain
a continuous transporter lock

on all Away Team personnel.

- We may pull them out in a hurry.
- Aye, sir.

I don't want to take any
unnecessary chances down there.

Anyone gets into trouble,
beam them up immediately.

Energize.

Mr. Worf, how long
until the storm reaches the outpost?

Seventeen minutes.

La Forge to Bridge.

Go ahead, Mr. La Forge.

The ionization from the storm

is interfering
with the transporters, captain.

I'm compensating,
but it's slowing things down a bit.

Keep at it, Mr. La Forge.

Riker to Daren.

Daren here. Go ahead, commander.

You've got less than nine minutes

before the storm reaches
the northern perimeter.

I'm here with Team 6.

We're just about to bring
the deflectors online.

Whenever you're ready.

Daren to Perimeter Team.
Stand by to cross-connect deflectors.

- Standing by.
- Activate.

Team 3, increase your output
by 0.2 percent.

- Yes, sir.
- Good, good.

Deng, decrease nutation
by 0.4 percent.

Good, we've almost got it.

Crusher to Bridge.

Go ahead, doctor.

We brought back the last
of the patients.

They're on their way to Sickbay.

But we still have over
a hundred colonists down there.

Understood.

Daren to Commander Riker.

Riker here, go ahead.

I've got a problem.

We're having trouble keeping
the deflectors cross-connected.

So the only way this is going to work
is if we calibrate them manually.

If you stay with the deflectors,

will they protect you
when the storm hits?

I don't know, sir.
A few minutes maybe.

Picard to Commander Riker.

How many more colonists
do you have to transport?

Seventy-three, sir.

- How long do you need?
- At least ten more minutes.

Captain, the storm will reach
the northern perimeter in four minutes.

Picard to Perimeter Teams.

It is imperative
that you hold your positions

until we've finished evacuating
the colony.

Picard out.

Picard to Mr. La Forge.

La Forge here.

I want a signal lock on every member
of the perimeter teams.

Captain,
the storm's interference won't--

As soon as the last of the colony
is evacuated,

I want those perimeter teams
out of there.

- Is that understood?
- Yes, sir.

Daren to Perimeter Teams.

The storm's interference is gonna
make ourjob harder than we thought.

We may lose communication,

so it's up to each of you
to keep your units operational.

A lot of people are depending on us.

Daren out.

Oh, my God.

The storm
has reached the perimeter.

I got out with the last
of the colonists.

If it hadn't been
for the perimeter teams,

none of us would have made it.

We were able to clear out
four of the teams,

and the interference prevented us
from getting two more.

I don't know
how they could have survived.

- Which teams are missing?
- Three and 6.

The last I knew,
Commander Daren was on Team 6.

Bridge to captain.

Go ahead, Mr. Worf.

We have found survivors, sir.
They are beaming up now.

I'm on my way.

That's it.

- Here, let me help you.
- Thank you.

- Thanks.
- You're gonna be fine.

Captain's log, stardate 46697.2.

Although we succeeded in rescuing
all 643 Bersallin colonists,

we lost eight crew members.

Let the record show
that they gave their lives

in the performance of their duty.

When communications went out,
I knew we had to fend for ourselves.

We modified our phasers

to create resonant disruptions
in the deflector field.

The disruptions formed small pockets
in the plane of the field,

and we each stood inside one
to wait out the storm.

Richardson didn't make it.

All Deng and I could do
was stand there and watch.

- I'm so sorry.
- Don't. Don't-- Don't say you're sorry.

It must have been terrible.

At first when you told us
to hold our positions,

I didn't question it.

Of course we would.
That was our job.

But when I saw that storm
coming toward us...

And part of you
must have blamed me.

A small part maybe.

But in the end, I was more afraid
that you'd blame yourself if I died.

Would you have?

I've lost people under my command.

People who were very dear to me.

But never someone
I've been in love with.

And when I believed
that you were dead,

I just began to shut down.

I didn't want to think or feel.

I was here in my quarters.

And the only thing I could focus on
was my music

and how it would never again
give me anyjoy.

And then I saw you standing
on the transporter pad.

And I knew that I could never again
put your life in jeopardy.

If I stayed here, you might have to.

You could always resign
your commission.

Stay here with me.

And you could resign yours
and come to a starbase with me.

I'll apply for a transfer.

But we could still see each other.
People do.

We could arrange
shore leave together.

And for the future, who knows?

Of course.

Promise me something.

Don't give up your music.
