NARRATOR: Last time on
Star Trek: The Next Generation:

My friend tells me you might know
about that man we're looking for.

There was a group of aliens
sitting at this table.

He was asking them questions.

One of them took out a weapon
and fired.

He was vaporized.

This is about justice.

The captain died
in a bar fight for nothing.

Those ruins
have been studied for centuries.

There's nothing new
to learn from them.

Then what were you doing there?

[GASPS THEN GRUNTS

Baran wouldn't last five minutes
as captain

if he didn't have that control device.

That almost sounds
like a prelude to mutiny.

They captured me.

They wanted to find out how much
I knew about their operation.

And then you became
part of their crew?

I convinced them I was a smuggler.

Will, these are not common thieves.

They are stealing Romulan artifacts

from archaeological sites
throughout this sector.

Mr. Worf, prepare to drop shields.

Sir, we would be totally defenseless.

I am aware of that.

Fire.

NARRATOR:
And now the conclusion.

[RED ALERT WAILlNG

Direct hit to the port nacelle.

Only minimal damage.

Hit to the starboard nacelle.
Still no appreciable damage.

Will must have done something
to their weapons.

I believe you are right, counselor.
It is now up to us to play along.

Release inertial dampers
and cut power to Decks 31 through 37.

ENSlGN: Aye, sir.
- Set phasers to 25 percent.

- Return fire.
- Aye, sir.

Continue firing.

[ALARM WAILlNG

I've lost three plasma relays
on the disruptors.

Auxiliary power is not available.

Transfer weapons control
to my station.

There's a way to bypass the relays
and feed power--

The antimatter containment units
are starting to buckle.

The Enterprise
has been badly damaged,

but they still have superior firepower.

If we remain here,
we will be destroyed.

The logical course of action
is to withdraw.

We've done enough damage.
Narik, set course.

One-eight-zero, mark 21 5.

Warp 6. Initiate.

They're preparing to activate
their warp drive, commander.

Sir, we cannot track them
with our sensors if they go to warp.

I can still disable them--

I am aware of the tactical situation,
lieutenant.

Let them go.

PICARD:
Space, the final frontier.

These are the voyages
ofthe 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.

I've gone over every word,
every inflection, every facial response,

and I still can't find any kind of code
or hidden message.

I agree the existence
of such a message is remote,

but I believe we should check.

I'll keep trying.

Two starships have been sent
to intercept the mercenaries

at Yadalla Prime and Draken IV

in case they attempt
to attack those planets.

Inform Starfleet Command that we
will hold position until further notice.

So we are just going to remain here?

Yes, but we will continue to pursue
all avenues of investigation.

If we had not let them escape,
this would not be necessary.

That is correct.

But l believe Commander Riker
wanted us to let them escape.

LA FORGE: Commander,
I think I found something.

I've been studying the comlink
Commander Riker used

to transmit his command codes.

I didn't see anything at first,
but then l ran the transmission

through a subharmonic analysis
and I found this.

It was sent by the same carrier wave
as the command codes.

It might be the message
we've been looking for.

Possibly. l will attempt
to re-sequence the signal.

Begin running a search
for a decryption key.

I'm taking the engines off-line.

BARAN: How long will it take
to repair our battle damage?

It will take at least five hours

to replace
the antimatter containment unit.

You have three hours, Narik.

One minute beyond that,
and you'll answer for it with your life.

I suppose I should thank you.

None of us would be alive
if it weren't for you.

You're welcome.

What's wrong, commander?

You're having second thoughts
about betraying your comrades?

Because that's what you've done.

Betrayed them.

Betrayed them
in order to save yourself.

You used to be
just a second-rate officer.

Now you're a traitor and a coward.

How does that feel?

[PICARD GRUNTS]

- I don't know, how did that feel?
BARAN: Enough.

Galen, go down to the cargo hold,
check out those artifacts.

Move.

You can tell Baran
that I'm working as fast as I can.

What?

I'm trying to decide
if you're incredibly stupid

or incredibly smart.

Why didn't you continue to fire
on the Enterprise

when their shields dropped?

You were there.
The disruptors lost power.

Computer, reset for diagnostic
of new sample. Begin scan.

I've watched you handle
the weapon systems before.

You know exactly
how to bypass a problem like that.

And why do you continue
to argue with Riker?

It should be obvious
that by alienating Riker,

you also alienate Baran,
and yet you continue to do so. Why?

COMPUTER: Scan complete.
Terikon profile negative.

PICARD: Computer, reset diagnostic
for new sample and begin scan.

Look, this isn't a Romulan labor camp.
I don't have to answer your questions.

And I don't give a damn
what you think.

COMPUTER: Scan complete.
Terikon profile positive.

Ninety-eight percent
probability of match.

Well, whatever it is we're looking for,
it seems that we've found it.

- Tallera to captain.
BARAN [OVER COM]: Yes, what is it?

I'm in the cargo hold.

Galen's made a positive Terikon match
on one of the artifacts.

Good. Bring it to me immediately.
Don't let anyone get near it.

TALLERA:
Understood. Tallera out.

RlKER:
That sounds like good news.

Very.

It means we've completed half
of what promises to be

a very profitable mission.

And even better than that,

I'm almost ready
to get rid of your friend Galen.

Really?

There's one more artifact to find.

Once Galen confirms
that it's genuine,

his usefulness on this ship
will come to a very sudden end.

I can't say I'm sorry to hear that.

Galen might be a loud-mouthed fool,
but sometimes he's quite perceptive.

His observations about you,
for instance.

- Oh?
- After what you did on Calder II,

I doubt if you have much of a future
in Starfleet.

Hmm.

Yes.

I must say,
I've come to the same conclusion.

[RIKER CHUCKLES]

Hmm. Well, assuming
that you were not my prisoner,

what would you do now?

I guess l'd start looking
for a new career.

Ah.

There must be a place
where someone with 1 5 years

of Starfleet technical knowledge
would be useful.

You wouldn't happen to know
a place like that?

Well...

Well, possibly.

However, there's one thing
that I have learned on this ship,

and that's to be cautious.

And never to blindly embrace
what might appear to be good fortune.

And right now you're a rather
large stroke of good luck.

I haven't exactly sworn my undying
allegiance to you either, Baran.

For instance, l'd like to know
a little bit more about this job.

Such as?

Such as what you meant
by very profitable mission.

Well, it's enough to know right now
that your share will ensure you

a very wealthy and long life,
far from the Federation.

- Sounds promising.
- It is.

Only you're gonna have to earn it.

And you can start by putting aside
your dislike for Galen,

becoming his friend.

- Why?
- Galen has allies on this ship.

That could cause trouble
if I decide to kill him.

I want you to find out from him
who they are.

Okay.

One more thing, Riker.

When the time comes,
I want you to kill Galen.

I have completed my analysis
of the signal from the mercenary ship.

I believe these groupings
represent bearings and coordinates

taken from their navigational system.

- So you think this is their flight plan?
DATA: Yes.

If I am correct, the mercenary ship
is headed toward these coordinates

in the Hyralan sector.

Well, their maximum speed
is warp 8.7.

It would take them at least 14 hours
to reach that position.

We could be there in five.

Make it so.

Finally.

Set a course for the Hyralan sector
and engage at warp 9.

OFFICER:
Aye, sir.

DATA:
Lieutenant.

- May l see you in the Ready Room?
- Of course.

Lieutenant, I am dissatisfied
with your performance as first officer.

May I ask in what way?

You continually question my orders
in front of the crew.

I do not believe
this is appropriate behavior.

With all due respect, sir,

I have always felt free
to voice my opinions,

even when they differ from those of
Captain Picard or Commander Riker.

That is true, but in those situations,
you were acting as head of security,

not as first officer.

The primary role
of the second-in-command

is to carry out the decisions
of the captain.

In this case, me.

But is it not my duty
to offer you alternatives?

Yes.

But once I have made a decision,
it is your job to carry it out,

regardless of how
you may personally feel.

Any further objections
should be given to me in private,

not in front of the crew.

I do not recall Commander Riker

ever publicly showing irritation with
his captain as you did a moment ago.

No, sir.

If you do not feel capable
of carrying out this role,

I will assign it
to Commander La Forge

and return you to tactical.

I would not enter it
into your record as a reprimand,

simply as a transfer.

I would prefer to remain
at my current post.

Then I expect you to conform
to the guidelines I have laid out.

Aye, sir.

Dismissed.

Mr. Worf.

I am sorry
if I have ended our friendship.

Sir, it is l who has jeopardized
our friendship, not you.

If you will overlook this incident,

I would like to continue
to consider you my friend.

I would like that as well.

Thank you, sir.

Good to see you too.

I've had some unpleasant surprises.
Will, this isn't a good idea.

Baran might grow suspicious.

As a matter of fact,
it was Baran who sent me here.

He told me to pretend
to be friendly with you,

help you organize a mutiny

so that he can determine
who your supporters are in the crew,

and then eliminate them.

Oh, what a tangled web we weave.

I have difficulty remembering
whose side I'm on.

So, what have you been able
to find out?

When we reach the Hyralan sector,

we're supposed to rendezvous
with a Klingon transport ship.

I'm not sure,

but I think they may be delivering
another of the Romulan artifacts to us.

A second artifact?

Oh, by the way,
that first artifact is not Romulan.

- It's Vulcan.
- Vulcan?

Mm-hm. l have been looking over
the glyphs and pictograms

from the Calder II artifact.

And although I don't have enough data
to translate all the inscriptions,

the alphabet and the symbology
is much more consistent

with early Vulcan than Romulan.

Do these artifacts have some religious
or cultural significance?

Something that would make them
valuable enough to kill for?

I don't know.

If I could just get access

to the Enterprise computer
just for a few moments.

So, what will Baran do once
he's obtained the second artifact?

You're supposed to verify
its authenticity,

then I'm supposed to kill you.

Then I take your place.

Will, you always seem
to be after my job.

Well, as soon as Baran feels
that I've outlived my usefulness,

he can kill me
simply by using the neural servo.

So I think we had better
start planning a mutiny.

We need a new captain.

And I've come to one
inescapable conclusion.

I agree. But I don't think that's you.

- Oh?
- I don't trust you, Galen.

And I don't think
the rest of the crew does either.

- They're not gonna follow you.
- Then who will they follow? You?

No, but they will follow Tallera,
and so will I.

- Who are you?
- What?

You're no smuggler,
and I don't think your name is Galen.

You will tell me who you really are
and what you are doing on this ship,

or I will kill you right here.

What are you talking about?

I will not play games with you.

I found the message
you sent to the Enterprise.

When Riker was using his
command codes to drop their shields,

you sent them a transmission
on the same carrier wave.

You're a Starfleet officer.
Do not deny it.

It is the only logical conclusion.

My name is actually T'Paal,
and I am a member of the V'Shar.

- Vulcan security?
- That is correct.

I infiltrated this ship a year ago,
posing as a Romulan mercenary.

I'm here to investigate
a possible threat to Vulcan.

What sort of threat?

First things first, Galen.
Who are you?

I'm Captain Jean-Luc Picard
of the Enterprise.

Very well.

To answer your question,
for several years now,

there has been a small
but growing movement

of extreme isolationists on Vulcan.

A group that believes
contact with alien races

has polluted our culture
and is destroying Vulcan purity.

This group advocates the total isolation
of Vulcan from the rest of the galaxy

and the eradication
of all alien influences from our planet.

That sounds
like an illogical philosophy.

Agreed.

But extremists
often have a logic all their own.

Tell me, Tallera,

what are these artifacts
that we've been collecting?

I know that they are Vulcan in origin.

I'm sure you are familiar
with the ancient history of my people

before we found logic,
before we found peace.

You were much as my people
once were. Savage, warlike.

There was even a time when we used
our telepathic abilities as a weapon.

A time when we learned
to kill with a thought.

The Stone of Gol.

You know of it?

I know the story
from Vulcan mythology.

The Stone of Gol is real,

but there is nothing supernatural
or magical about it.

It is a psionic resonator.

A device which focuses
and amplifies telepathic energy.

It is one of the most devastating
weapons ever conceived.

But according to the legend,
the stone was destroyed by the gods

when the Vulcan people
found their way to peace.

The resonator was believed
to have been destroyed

during the Time of the Awakening.

Only one piece
is known to have survived,

and it was placed in a Vulcan museum
under heavy guard.

A year ago, that piece was stolen
from the museum.

Soon after, mercenary ships
began raiding archaeological sites

across the quadrant.

We believe a member
of the isolationist movement

is attempting
to reassemble the resonator.

A telepathic weapon.

My orders are to find that assassin
and stop him.

It would seem that Baran

has to deliver these artifacts
to the assassin in order to get paid.

Therefore, you and I
should continue our masquerade.

Agreed.

But, captain, I cannot allow
the resonator to be assembled.

If necessary,
I will destroy this ship, its crew,

all of us
to prevent that from happening.

DATA: Acting captain's log,
stardate 471 60.1 .

The Enterprise is entering
the Hyralan sector,

which l believe to be the next
destination of the mercenary ship.

I am picking up a small vessel,
bearing 1 27 mark 335.

- Is it the mercenary ship?
- No, sir. It's a Klingon ship.

A Toron-class shuttlecraft,
one person.

Open a channel.

This is Lieutenant Commander Data
of the Federation starship Enterprise.

Koral.

I take it that is your name.

May I inquire as to your destination?

No.

DATA:
May I ask the purpose of your journey?

No.

Perhaps l have not
made our intentions clear.

We are investigating--

He seems most uncooperative.

He may have been curt,
but he was also very worried,

and even a little scared.

Sir, may l recommend

that we bring the shuttlecraft aboard
with our tractor beam,

search it and interrogate Koral?

According to the terms
of the Klingon Federation Treaty,

Koral has every right to free transit
through Federation space.

We cannot board
or search his vessel without cause.

Yes, sir.

However, the treaty does give us
the right to conduct

health and safety inspections
on any ship in our space.

Health and safety inspections?

I am not certain that using this clause
as an excuse to conduct a search

would be consistent
with the spirit of the treaty.

Yes, sir.

However,
if Koral wishes to contest our actions,

he can file a protest with
the judge advocate general's office.

Bring the shuttle aboard.

Then you and Dr. Crusher
may begin the inspection.

Aye, sir.

Hello.

I'm Dr. Crusher
and this is Lieutenant Worf.

We're here to conduct a health
and safety inspection of your ship.

Health and safety inspection?

That's right.
Uh, you know, uh, radiation leaks,

um, biochemical contamination,
um, other health hazards.

Excuse me.

Well, no radiation so far.
I'm sure you're glad to hear that.

Right.

There's an incoming message.
It's from the Klingon shuttle.

It was sent
approximately 1 5 minutes ago.

He's at the rendezvous coordinates,

but he's been detained
by the Enterprise.

Well, that's all there is.
He stopped transmitting.

The Enterprise.

Now, how could they have found out
about the rendezvous, commander?

BARAN:
Quiet.

All that matters now
is that the Enterprise

has the second artifact
in their possession.

We don't have a choice.

We'll have to board the Enterprise
and take the artifact.

Do you have any idea
how many security officers

there are onboard a ship like that?

No, I don't, but he does.

I could get us on the Enterprise.

I can find the artifact.

Oh, yeah. Very convenient.

We beam you back
aboard your old ship,

we have to take a risk that you
won't change your mind and betray us.

I have saved your life
twice already, Galen.

I would think you would begin
to show some gratitude by now.

Galen,
if you're so worried about Riker,

then you can go on
the raiding party and watch him.

Agreed.

Draw weapons and equipment
for a raiding party of five.

If you're thinking of betraying us
to your friends on the Enterprise,

you might remember
that I still have the ability to kill you

at the first sign of trouble.

I haven't forgotten.

I have an additional task for you.
One that will prove your loyalty.

This raid is an opportunity
to get rid of Galen.

Once you've found that artifact,
kill him.

TROI: l'm sure the health
and safety inspection

won't last much longer.

And in the meantime,

I'm really glad that we have
this opportunity to get to know you.

May I ask what business you're in?

Lieutenant Worf
has programmed our replicators

to make a very good approximation
of Klingon bloodwine.

I believe you will find it to your liking.

That's my third scan, and I still haven't
found anything out of the ordinary.

He must be hiding something.

We should download
his computer memory and analyze it.

I'd have a hard time defending
that as part of a safety inspection.

We could claim that the computer

was generating
abnormal radiation signatures.

Worf, we're on pretty shaky ground
as it is. We can't just--

- Don't.
- Watch that door.

- What is going on?
- Shut your mouth, Klingon.

I guess you're surprised to see me,
doctor.

You could say that.

I've had a change of profession.

It's not in here. Hey, you.

Where's the artifact?

I do not know
what you're talking about.

Use your brain. They wouldn't be
searching if they had the artifact.

Koral must have it.
Where is that Klingon pilot?

In the observation lounge
with Data and Troi.

- How far?
- Twelve decks away.

Security will not allow you
to get that far.

RlKER:
They won't get the chance.

We'll use the transporter
in that shuttle,

we'll beam directly
to the observation lounge.

Sorry about this.

Let's go.

If you could tell us something
about the nature of your mission...

[TRANSPORTER ENERGIZlNG]

- What is this?
RlKER: Quiet.

Does he have it?

[TRICORDER BEEPING]

- This is it.
- Are you sure, Galen?

PICARD: Yes, l can recognize
the inscription pattern

from the first artifact.

Commander Riker,
by taking this action,

you risk charges of assault,
theft, piracy and treason.

Really?

Then I guess adding one more charge
wouldn't hurt.

[YELLS

[GASPS

Is he dead?

Yes.

Good.

Activate the transporter.

Security alert.

Medical emergency team
to the observation lounge.

Data to Bridge.

Raise shields and begin sensor
sweeps for the mercenary ship.

OFFICER [OVER COM :
Aye, sir.

He's all right. He's only stunned.

I must admit,

I am experiencing
a similar sensation.

[RIKER GROANS]

This is gonna take a little time
to explain.

Set course, 31 0 mark 21 5.

Warp 6.

Where is it?

I have something else for you,
Baran.

Tell him what happened, Narik.

NARIK:
Riker turned on us.

He tried to kill Galen
before we beamed back.

PICARD:
He might have killed all of us.

And I believe he was acting
under your direct orders, Baran.

You betrayed us.

This has gone far enough.

I think it is time
that we had a new commander.

Someone who would lead us
to those profits

that we've been promised.

Oh, really?

And who would that be, Galen?

You?

He's plotted this all along.

Opposed me at every turn.

Endangered all of us
by refusing to follow his orders.

Follow your orders.

The orders of a small man
trying to fill a role too big for him.

I say it's time for a change.

Who's with me?

[CHUCKLES]

It's over, Baran.

Not quite.

As long as I have this,
I'm still captain of this ship.

You can't kill all of us.

You need us to run this ship
more than we need you to command it.

I don't have to kill you all.

Just you, Galen.

[DEVICE WHINING
AND BARAN GASPlNG]

What happened?

I switched the transponder codes.

Given his feelings about me,
it seemed a sensible thing to do.

Baran was nothing.

We have a mission to complete,
and the crew needs a leader.

There'll be no more punishment
onboard this ship.

Now, do your duties and I'll see to it
that we complete our mission

and get our payment.

Remove that.

Orders?

Maintain our present course
and speed for now.

I'm gonna find out when and where
we're supposed to deliver our cargo.

Aye, captain.

WORF [OVER COM :
Worf to Commander Riker.

Minister Satok of Vulcan security
is standing by on a secure channel.

Put it through in here.

Greetings, commander.
How may l be of service?

Minister, I thought I should
let you know, the mercenary ship

that has been raiding planets
in the Taugan system

is probably on its way
to Vulcan right now.

I do not understand.

I'm sorry,
it's been a difficult couple of days.

I know that one of your operatives
has been on a mercenary ship

investigating the possible
reassembly of the psionic resonator.

I didn't want someone
to make a mistake

and fire at them
when they approach your planet.

Commander,
I believe there is a problem.

We have no operative
aboard a mercenary ship.

PICARD: According to Baran's logs,
we are to deliver the two pieces

to the T'Karath Sanctuary
on Vulcan.

I know that place.

It was an underground stronghold

for one of the factions
during the last civil war.

It's been abandoned for centuries.

Galen to Bridge.
Alter course for Vulcan.

VEKOR [OVER COM]:
Understood.

Oh, I wonder if you can possibly
help me with something.

I have been able to translate

most of the writings
on these two pieces.

For the most part, they're warnings
of death and destruction

to anyone
who opposes the resonator.

But...

...I am not able to determine
what appears on the anterior side.

For example, this symbol
represents the Vulcan god of war,

and this the god of death.

But if you look really carefully,
you can see a third symbol is missing.

Now, that obviously
should belong to the final piece.

Now, what's odd about this
is that the god of death and war

would typically always
stand alone on an artifact.

They'd never be combined
with a third glyph.

Fascinating,
but I am not an archaeological expert.

I'm really anxious to see
the final artifact,

because it might provide a valuable
insight into Vulcan mythology.

When we arrive at Vulcan,

I will take these pieces
to a secure holding area

before going on to the sanctuary.

I prefer to go alone.

It will arouse less suspicion
on the part of the isolationists.

Well, there should be no problem
about our entering orbit.

I asked Commander Riker
to contact the Vulcan authorities

from the Enterprise, let them know
that we were approaching.

Why did you do that?

Well, I didn't want to risk
a misunderstanding.

Someone might have mistaken this
for an actual raid.

It was a wise precaution.

Perhaps l should contact
the Enterprise,

have them meet us at Vulcan

just in case these isolationists
try to escape.

Your offer is appreciated,

but our security forces
are more than adequate.

I see. Um...

Do you think it's wise for you
to go there alone?

After all,
they were expecting Baran to show up.

Now, don't you think
if I were to accompany you,

it might seem more plausible?

Captain, l do understand
your human emotional need

to be there at the final moment,
but this is a Vulcan matter.

Of course.

Thank you.

We have entered orbit of Vulcan.

Tallera,
I've decided on a change of plan.

Take one of the artifacts with you.
Leave the other one here.

As soon as we have our payment
in full, we'll complete the delivery.

That was not the agreement.

PICARD:
I realize that,

but it's safer for all concerned
to leave one behind.

They will not pay us
until they get both pieces.

They've been waiting
a long time for this.

They're not gonna take any risks.

Now, take one of the artifacts
and beam down.

That is all I was waiting for.

Go to the navigational computer
and check file 1 37-slash-omega.

You'll find a message secretly
transmitted to the Enterprise

containing our entire flight plan.

She's right.

The message was sent by Galen.
He's a Starfleet officer.

Tallera is right.

But what she's not telling you
is that those artifacts she's holding

are part of an incredibly
powerful weapon.

There's no reward waiting for you
down on the surface.

As soon as she's got those artifacts,

she'll leave you behind
to be captured by Starfleet.

I don't care what it is you want,
Tallera.

I don't care if it's a weapon
for your personal use

or if you're really just making
a delivery as planned.

All l care about is my money.

So I propose a compromise.

Narik and I will go with you
to the surface

to guarantee
that we receive our payment.

After that,
you can go anywhere you want.

Agreed. Bring him as well.

We'll use him as a hostage
if Starfleet arrives.

If not, we'll kill him on the surface.

There. Your reward as promised.

Is it all there?

No, this is less than half
of what we were promised.

Where's the rest of it?

That is all I could manage.
I suggest you take it and leave.

I did not come this far to be cheated.
I want it all, now.

Very well.
You will get what you deserve.

[YELLS

Go ahead, captain.

Pick up the phaser.
See what good it will do.

You'll never get away with this.

Starfleet will never stand by
and watch you tear apart

one of the founding worlds
of the Federation.

How little you understand
what you're facing, captain.

You're used to fighting enemies
like yourself.

People on ships with defense shields,
energy weapons, warp drives.

But this is unlike anything
you've ever faced.

This is the power of the mind.

Pick up the phaser, captain.

Listen to me, all of you.
Drop your weapons. Do it.

Don't make
any aggressive movements.

The resonator amplifies
violent feelings and emotions.

And that's why you wanted me
to pick up the phaser.

That's how you were able
to kill Narik and Vekor.

But l can see the symbol
on that third artifact.

And it is the Vulcan symbol
for peace

standing between the symbols
for war and death.

It's a warning

that the power of the resonator
can be overcome by peace.

You are about to see
how wrong you are.

Empty your minds
of violent thoughts.

No.

Think, Tallera.
Two thousand years ago,

your people
were being consumed by war.

But when peace came to Vulcan,
the resonator became useless.

That's why it was dismantled.

You were right, Tallera.

The resonator cannot be stopped
by phasers and shields.

But it can be defeated by peace.

PICARD:
Captain's log, stardate 471 69.2.

Security Minister Satok
has taken Tallera into custody

and begun a search
for the rest of the isolationists.

Once we realized that you were
no longer on the mercenary ship,

we scanned the surface
for your neural implant.

We tracked the signal
into the caverns.

What will become
of the resonator, sir?

Satok has assured me
that all three pieces will be destroyed.

It is unfortunate it cannot be studied.

The resonator is a key artifact
from a remarkable period of history.

Oh, normally
I would be the first one to agree.

But perhaps some things
are best left in the past.

What's going to happen
to the mercenaries?

Oh, they will be detained by
the Vulcan authorities for the moment.

[YAWNING] But they're also
facing charges from the Klingons,

the Cardassians, the Ferengi
and at least seven other worlds.

I don't think we'll be hearing
from them for a while.

Number One, will you set a course
for Starbase 227?

- I'll join you on the Bridge shortly.
- Wait a minute.

You've been declared dead.
You can't give orders around here.

If we are to adhere to the exact letter
of Starfleet regulations,

then, technically, sir,
you have been declared a renegade.

In fact, I believe you are facing
1 2 counts of court-martial offenses.

You cannot give orders either, sir.

That's quite right.

And as I'm supposed to be dead,
I'll go and get some sleep.

And, Mr. Data, l suggest that you
escort Commander Riker to the brig.

Aye, sir.

This way, sir.

Data, he was joking.

You know that, right?

Data?
