CRUSHER: Bridge officer's log,
stardate 4761 1 .2.

Dr. Beverly Crusher reporting.

We have rendezvoused
with Counselor Troi's shuttlecraft.

She has just returned
from a three-day class reunion

on Starbase 231 .

Send a message to Commander Data
and inform him of our delay.

Aye, sir.

- Deanna, welcome back.
- Thank you.

I was just reporting in.

I didn't expect to find anyone up
except Data.

Data's away on assignment.

A Federation deep space probe
went off course

and crashed on Barkon IV.

Some of the material in the casing
was radioactive,

so Data was sent to recover it before
it could contaminate the biosphere.

Isn't Barkon IV inhabited?

Yes, it's a pre-industrial society.

But the probe crashed
over a hundred kilometers

from the nearest settlement,

so Data shouldn't have any contact
with Barkonians.

So how was the reunion?

Fine.

It was good to see some old friends.
I'd lost touch with most of them.

It's interesting to see the different
paths some of their lives have taken.

Beverly, you don't usually stand
a watch on the bridge

even when Data's not here.

I volunteered tonight.

I like to put in a little bridge time
now and then.

Stay on top of operations,
tactical procedures.

The truth is I like it.

It's not every doctor
who gets to command a starship.

Even if it is the night shift.

May I ask you a personal question?

Why did you decide
to become a commander?

I mean, you don't need the rank
in order to be chief medical officer.

So why put yourself
through all the extra work?

Oh, I don't know. I never even
thought about my rank for a long time.

It seemed pretty trivial
compared to being a doctor.

But then, about eight years ago,

I started to feel
like I wanted to stretch myself a little.

Commander, there's no response
from Commander Data to our signal.

Continue sending him updates
on our schedule.

MAN:
Aye, sir.

- Is something wrong?
CRUSHER: No.

I just wanted to let Data know
there'd be a delay

in picking him up for a few days.

We have orders
to rendezvous with the Lexington

and take some medical supplies
to the Taranko colony.

But he's not responding.

Geordi said that the radiation
from the probe

might interfere with communications.

I just thought I'd try anyway.

GARVIN: So when you return
from school tonight,

I'll be meeting
with the village elders.

GIA: Again?
- Gia.

I know, I know,
you're the town magistrate

and you have a lot of work to do.

But it always seems like
you're in some kind of meeting or--

[EXHALlNG]

PICARD:
Space, the final frontier.

These are the voyages
ofthe starship Enterprise.

It's continuing mission:
To explore strange new worlds,

to seek out new life
and new civilizations,

to boldly go where no one
has gone before.

[GRUNTING]

Gia, go home. Now.

Who are you?

What do you want?

DATA:
What...

...do you want?

What do you want?

What's wrong with you?

There's nothing wrong with me.

Who are you?

What is your name?

Can you understand me?

My name is Garvin.

My name

is Garvin.

[LAUGHS

I thought I told you to go home.

I know.

I...

...do not know my name.

- What?
- You asked...

...if l knew my name.

I do not.

Well, at least you seem to be
understanding a little more.

Yes.

It is becoming easier.

Ask him where he's from, Father.

Gia, go on to school.
I'll deal with the stranger.

Yes, Father.

Goodbye.

Your eyes and your skin
look so strange.

Your clothes...

You look like
you've been in some kind of accident.

I do not remember
being in an accident.

What do you remember?

I walked here from the mountains.

The mountains?

The mountains
are over 200 seltons from here.

I have a clear memory
of my journey.

What do you remember before that?

I have no prior memory.

Do you know what that is?

No.

May I?

- May l have it?
- Yes.

GARVIN: There might be something
in here that can tell us who you are.

I wonder
what these markings mean.

- "Radioactive."
- What?

That is what is written
on the container.

You can read this language?

Evidently.

Radioactive. What does that mean?

I do not know.

Perhaps it is my name.

I've never heard of a name like that.

You must come
from a very distant place.

[TROMBONE PLAYING
UPBEAT TUNE]

[CHUCKLES]

[CONTINUES PLAYING]

Is that supposed to be a question?

If you were asking me
if I liked what you were playing,

then the answer is yes.

[PLAYS NOTE

You know, this is a much better
way of communicating for you.

It's far less confusing
than the way you normally speak.

[PLAYS HARSH NOTE]

I knew I could count on my Imzadi,

the ship's counselor,
to boost my self-image.

I'm glad to be of service.

Did you come here
for something in particular

or just general Riker-bashing?

Actually, I wanted to ask
your opinion about something.

I've been thinking about
taking the bridge officer's test

and becoming a full commander.

- What brought this up?
- A lot of things.

Working on the personnel review
last month,

talking to Beverly
about her experiences,

going to my class reunion.

The class reunion.

You saw a few old friends
who had already taken the test?

All right, I admit, it was a catalyst.

But l can honestly say
that I've been thinking about this

off and on for the past two years.

Why the past two years?

Do you remember when the Enterprise
hit that quantum filament

and I was in command
on the bridge?

I do.

Well, when that happened,
I was overwhelmed.

But then when it was over,
I realized that a part of me missed it.

Not the actual disaster,

but the experience
of being in command.

I felt like I was exploring
a whole new side of myself.

Not that I want to give up counseling
by any means,

but I really would like
to stretch myself a little.

Deanna...

If you take the bridge officer's test,
you'll have my complete support.

But as first officer,
I'll be judging your performance.

And you should know,
I am a pretty tough judge.

And I'm a pretty good student.

We'll start tomorrow morning,
0800 hours.

TALUR:
Remarkable set of teeth.

Breath smells like...

Well, it doesn't have any smell,
actually.

You can close your mouth.

Let's see.

Heartbeat sounds a little odd,
but seems very regular.

Skin feels clammy.

But you say you feel fine?

That is correct.

No headaches, palpitations,
sluggishness, indigestion?

No.

Well, I cannot have indigestion
since l have not eaten.

Ah. Malnutrition.

You should try to eat something
that will build your strength

and return your vitality.

Lots of meat, butter, cheese.
That should be a start.

What about his eyes and his skin?
They're so odd.

TALUR:
Quite so, quite so.

I'm sure my grandmother would have
called our friend here a demon

or a spirit or some sort of monster.
But current scientific methodology

allows us to dismiss
such ridiculous superstitions

and concentrate on scientific reality.

Then what do you believe I am?

You are an iceman.

Iceman?

Yes, you probably come
from a race of people

who lived in the snow and the ice
of the Vellorian Mountains.

Your skin and eye coloration
are a result of prolonged exposure

to the harsh winter conditions.

Then I am not ill?

Oh, aside from your memory loss,

you don't seem to have any symptoms
of any illness that I am familiar with.

No, you are an iceman.

Now, get something to eat
and a good night's rest,

and I'll come back tomorrow and see
if your memory has begun to return.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Thank you.

TALUR: Hello, Gia.
- Hello.

What did Talur say about him?
Is he sick?

Not exactly.

She said he's lost his memory,
but seems to be fine otherwise.

Talur thinks he's from a race
that lives in the mountains.

I am an iceman.

We'll have to call you something
besides iceman

until your memory returns.

What was the word
on the container?

DATA:
Radioactive.

Mr. Radioactive?

GIA:
I don't like that name.

Let's call him Jayden.

What do you think of that?

Jayden.

That is acceptable.

Right now we need to clean him up
and get him something decent to wear.

Run upstairs and get some
of my old clothes for him.

Yes, Father.

I wonder if Skoran can tell us
something about this metal of yours.

[CHATTERING]

You, iceman,
where did you find this?

I do not know.

I told you, he's lost his memory.

And we're calling him
Jayden for now.

Jayden, huh?

The metal is slightly warm.

GARVIN:
All the fragments are like that.

It's obviously been tempered
and milled.

The lustrous quality of the metal
is so pure.

This wasn't made in any forge
that I've ever seen.

- Will you sell them?
- You want them?

The metal's malleable enough
to make some jewelry.

They belong to Jayden.

Do you want to sell them?

You're going to need money.

You may be right.

But l do not wish to sell
all the fragments.

They may provide a clue
to my identity.

I'll give you
20 doraks for half the lot.

Agreed.

[SCREAMlNG]

MAN:
My leg! My leg! Get it off!

Get it off!

We need a lever.

It'll be all right.

Don't struggle, it will o--

[CROWD MURMURlNG

Jayden, put it down.

[GRUNTING]

I believe that the support structure
on the anvil collapsed

because some of the wood
had rotted.

[CROWD MURMURlNG

Did I do something wrong, Garvin?

No.

Just unexpected.

TALUR:
It's perfectly understandable.

Your people
probably all have great strength.

It would allow them
to fight off the ferocious creatures

that live in the Vellorian Mountains.

You have told me
that no one from the village

has ever been
to the Vellorian Mountains.

How can you be certain
there are ferocious creatures there?

It's a well-known fact.

DATA:
But no one has actually seen one?

Well, not to my knowledge, but...

Father, are you all right?

I've been tired since this afternoon.

I'm sure it's nothing.

You feel slightly warm.

Some fresh air and a brisk walk
will do you good.

That sounds like a good idea.

I'll be back soon.

You didn't like it?

I neither liked it nor disliked it.
I simply had no appetite.

Father's cooking
isn't as good as Mother's.

He tries, though.

Where is your mother?

She died about a year ago.

Father said she--

She went to a beautiful place

where everything is peaceful

and everyone loves each other.

And no one ever gets sick.

Do you think
there's really a place like that?

Yes.

I do.

[ALARM SOUNDS]

We just lost contact with everything
above Deck 21 , including the bridge.

There's something wrong with one
of the antimatter-containment units.

The magnetic field
is starting to fluctuate.

Switch to auxiliary control.

[COMPUTER BEEPING

Auxiliary control is not online.

We are starting to lose containment
on Antimatter Storage Unit 3.

All right.

[BEEPING

Switch the EM power inverter
to the lateral--

No, wait.

[BEEPING

Use the neodyne relay.

Commander,
the neodyne relay isn't holding.

Containment failure in ten seconds.

Computer, emergency procedure.
Eject Antimatter Storage Unit 3.

Authorization,
Troi, omega-omega-three-one.

COMPUTER:
Unable to comply.

All power to ejection systems
has been terminated

and cannot be restored.

Commander,
the unit's beginning to--

[SIGHS

Congratulations.
You just destroyed the Enterprise.

Thank you for the encouragement.

Don't feel bad.
You passed everything else.

Diplomatic law, first contact
procedure, bridge operations.

Engineering qualification
is one of the toughest parts of the test.

So, what did I do wrong?

I'm afraid l can't tell you that.

Why not?
What kind of a test is this?

It's the kind of test that you're
going to have to take again

if you want to be a bridge officer.

Only next time,
the problem won't be so easy.

So I suggest you study up
on your emergency procedures.

Well, how do l know what to study
if you won't tell me what I did wrong?

I don't know.

I'm afraid l can't tell you that either.

[SIGHS

Rock, fire, sky and water
are the basic elements of the universe.

They can be found in every object,
every animal, every person, everything.

The rock in this wood can be felt
by its weight and hardness.

If we expose the wood to flame,

we can encourage the fire
within the wood to show itself.

We can also see smoke,

which is a part of the sky.

The water in wood is difficult to see.

Sometimes the elements
are very deep within the objects,

but the four elements
are always there.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Yes, Jayden?

- I do not believe that is correct.
- Oh.

I believe you are reasoning
by analogy.

Classifying objects and phenomena
according to superficial observation

rather than empirical evidence.

Wood, for example,
does not contain fire

simply because it is combustible.

Nor does it contain rock
simply because it is heavy.

Wood,
like any complex organic form,

is composed of thousands
of different chemical compounds,

none of which is fire.

That will be enough
for now, Jayden.

As I told you earlier,
our friend Jayden here

has lost much of his memory.

So I wouldn't put too much faith
in any of his ideas.

Now, that will be all for today.
I will see you all tomorrow.

Be sure to practice
your spelling and arithmetic tonight.

Are you all right?

Yes, but I do not agree
with Talur's assessment.

Although I do have gaps
in my memory,

I know that fire is not an element.

GARVIN:
That is not what you promised me.

You're getting old, Garvin.

I offered you 1 5 for the metal
and I've given it to you.

- No more.
- We agreed on 20.

Garvin is correct.
You agreed on 20.

Stay out of this, Iceman.
Your memory is not very reliable.

Father. Father, what's wrong?

I don't know.

I feel very weak suddenly.

You have a fever.

We should get him home.

What's wrong with him?

TALUR:
I suspect he--

I don't know.

I've never encountered
anything like this before.

These lesions look like burn marks.

The fluids of his body
have overheated.

That would explain the fever
and the burning skin.

Keep him cool,
let plenty of fresh air into the house.

And I want you
to give him these herbs.

That will bring
his fluidic temperature down

and allow this to pass.

I understand.

With an increased focal length
and an achromatic objective lens,

this instrument will have
a higher effective magnification.

I will come back tomorrow
and check on you.

GARVIN:
Thank you.

DATA:
Garvin,

with your permission, I would like
to begin my own investigation

regarding the cause of your illness.

Go ahead.

Gia, l would like you
to accompany me to the village.

I will need some supplies.

GIA: What are you going to do
with all this?

I will use these materials to make
the laboratory equipment I need

to research your father's illness.

Do you think you can help him?

I do not know.

First, I must isolate the cause
of the illness.

SKORAN:
There he is.

It's his fault. None of us were sick
before he came to the village.

MAN 1 : True.
MAN 2: True. Not one.

[CROWD MURMURlNG

Am I to understand
Garvin's illness has spread?

That's right, and you're the cause.

That's not true.

Gia, l think we should leave.

That's it, leave. Get out of here.

Go back to where you came from.

Jayden, what are you doing?

I am studying skin samples
from Gia and Garvin

in an attempt to isolate
the cause of the illness.

- Gia?
- Yes.

She is also beginning
to show signs of the illness.

What is that?

It is a magnifying device
based on your handheld instrument.

I have refined the design
to increase the magnification level.

- May l?
- Of course.

How strong is the magnification?

Objects appear approximately
500 times their normal size.

As you can see, the cellular damage
is quite extensive.

However, based
on interstitial transparency

and membrane integrity,
I do not believe it is an infection

or any other form
of communicable disease.

I see.

At the moment, I am looking
for a common event or experience

that Gia, Garvin and Skoran
may have shared

that could have a causal relationship
to their illness.

Well, they've all lived here in the village
for many years.

I'm sure they have many common
experiences.

Yes, but since the illness
struck all three

in a relatively short period of time,
it is reasonable to assume

the experience
is recent and unusual.

Actually, Jayden, encountering you
has been the most unusual experience

they've all shared recently.

I am aware of that. Excuse me.

I am also open to the possibility

that I may, in some way,
be the causal factor.

However, since you've had
a great deal of contact with me

and you show no signs
of the sickness,

I tend to discount myself
as a likely candidate.

Still, it has to be more
than just a coincidence

that shortly after you arrived,
people started to become ill.

I agree.

Jayden.

I tried to give Father his broth,
but he won't eat.

You have a fever.
You should be in bed.

No, I'm all right.

Father needs me.

Talur is correct. You should rest.

I will attend to your father.

Gia.

When did you begin
wearing that pendant?

Two days ago.

Father bought it from Skoran. Why?

May I see it?

This is one of the metal fragments
I sold to Skoran.

The secondary plasma vent

has a triple redundant bypass,

which means
that the primary access junction

is routed through...

[DOORBELL CHlRPlNG

Come in.

Would be routed through
the port transducer matrix.

Come to give me
more encouragement?

No.

I'm actually here to tell you that I've
decided to cancel the rest of your test.

- What?
- I'm canceling the test.

May I ask why?

You've taken the engineering
qualification three times,

you're no closer to passing.

Well, then I'll take it four times
or 14 times,

or however many times
is necessary for me to get it right.

Deanna, this is nothing personal.

Not everyone is cut out
to be a bridge officer.

- I don't think this is for you.
- Why?

Because l'm not the most
technically-minded person on ship?

I may have trouble
telling the difference

between a plasma conduit
and a phase inducer,

but there's more to being
a bridge officer

than memorizing technical manuals.

That's right, there is.

You can spend the next month
memorizing all the technical manuals

in the computer,

I still don't think you'd pass the test.

Tell me one thing,
is there a solution?

Or is this simply a test of my ability
to handle a no-win situation?

- There is a solution.
- Then give me time to find it.

I can't.

As much as l care about you,
my first duty is to the ship.

I cannot let any bridge officer serve
who is not qualified. I'm sorry.

[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]

"My first duty is to the ship."

The ship.

Computer, load bridge officer's test,
Engineering Qualification Section 1 .

[COMPUTER BLEEPING]

COMPUTER: Computer ready.
- Run program.

The control system for the primary
containment field is not functioning.

Something's
severed the ODN conduit

between here
and the antimatter storage deck.

Geordi.

Could you repair the ODN conduit
if you went into the crawlspace?

[ALARM SOUNDS]

Sir, that crawlway
is in a warp plasma shaft.

He would never survive
the radiation.

I know that.

Geordi,
could you repair the conduit?

Yeah, I think I could.

Then do it. That's an order.

RlKER:
End simulation.

Something told me
you wouldn't let this go.

Congratulations. You passed.

That's what this was all about,
wasn't it?

To see if I'd order someone
to their death.

That's right.

I knew that was part
of being in command

and I thought l'd prepared for it.

But when the moment came,
I hesitated.

Maybe you were right.
Maybe I'm not cut out for this.

You did exactly what you had to do.

You considered all your options.

You tried every alternative,
and then you made the hard choice.

Come on.

Let's get out of here, commander.

I have coated this piece of cloth
with the liquid which is used in lamps.

As you can see,
the cloth becomes luminescent

when it is exposed
to an energy source.

This pendant also appears
to be an energy source.

But where is this pattern of light
coming from?

I believe a stream of particles
is emanating from the metallic pendant

and hitting the cloth.

I don't see any particles
coming from the pendant.

You will see there are.
I can even block them.

It would appear that this container
was constructed of a material

which absorbs or blocks the particles
coming from the metal.

It's a trick.

No, it is empirical data.

I believe the fragments
were originally placed in this container

to protect people
from accidental exposure.

The word "radioactive"
may be a warning

about the dangerous nature
of the metal.

All right, let's say
for the moment that you are right,

that there are invisible particles
coming from the metal.

What should we do?

I will continue my experiment.

I would like you to gather
all of the pieces of metal in the village.

- And place them in this container.
- All right.

But when I return, I want a more
thorough explanation of all this.

And I want to examine
your data in detail.

Of course.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

There you are.
You are the cause of this, Iceman.

If you are referring to the illness,
you are partially correct.

However,
it is more complex than that.

The metal fragment which--

Unh!

What--? What are you?

I do not know.

I saw it with my own eyes.

He's not a person.
He's some kind of creature.

It's not true, Father.

We must find him
and stop him before he kills us all.

I don't...

Not Jayden.

He wouldn't try to hurt us.

Eh.

- Come on.
MAN 1 : Yes.

MAN 2:
Come on.

Let him rest for now.

You should rest as well.

Exerting yourself
will only make you sicker.

I'll be back.

DATA:
Gia.

Jayden, everyone's looking for you.

Skoran said
you're some kind of creature.

DATA:
I do not know what l am,

but I am not like you.

I know. You're an iceman.

We talked about that.

DATA:
No.

I am not.

Jayden, why are you wearing
that hood?

I do not wish to frighten you.

I won't be afraid. Take it off.

Please, I have to see.

I understand your reaction,

but I do not wish to harm you.

You or Garvin or anyone else.

I only wish to help.

To find a cure for the illness.

I was very close.

I must continue my work,
but it will take time.

How long
until Skoran and the others return?

I don't know.
They're looking for you now.

Then I must hurry.

Gia.

I believe l have found the answer.

You found a cure?

I believe so.

I tested this medicine
on skin samples from your father.

They showed improvement,
so I administered this to him.

He is now recovering.

What kind of medicine is it?

A compound l made
which will neutralize the particles

that are making you ill.

Swallow this.

I must administer this
to everyone in the village.

But l do not think they will trust me,
after what happened to Skoran.

I could tell them.

I am afraid
they will not believe you either.

Gia, is the well in the town square

the only source of water
for the village?

- Well?
- This is very important.

Are there any other sources
of fresh water near the village?

No.

The nearest river,

two days away.

Then I will put this compound
into the well water.

It may be diluted, but it should
still have enough potency to work.

The compound...

SKORAN:
There he is.

[CROWD MURMURlNG

You see?

It's just as l said.

I only wish to help.

This is how you helped us?
By bringing this plague?

Tried to kill us all?

Well, you won't succeed,
I won't let you.

Ah!

[CROWD MURMURlNG

GIRL: No, you're not.
BOY: Yeah, come on.

Excuse me.
We're looking for a friend of ours.

He might have wandered
into your village a few days ago.

RlKER:
You'd remember him.

He would've appeared very strange.

Pale skin, gold eyes.

- He was your friend?
- Yes, do you know him?

Where is he?

I don't understand.

We didn't know his real name,
so we called him Jayden.

Are you saying he's dead?

They killed him
because they were afraid of him.

But he saved us all
from the sickness.

The sickness?

There were these pieces of metal.
They made everyone sick.

But Jayden put something in the water,
and now everyone's better.

What happened
to these pieces of metal?

We buried them in the forest.

What was his real name?

Data.

He was my friend too.

[BEEPING

It's Data, all right.
He's buried about 2 meters down.

He's been deactivated,
so I can't tell how bad the damage is.

We could beam him and the probe
fragments right onto the ship.

No one would know.

CRUSHER:
Positronic net online.

Sub-processor relays in place

and neuro-electrical systems
enabled.

[BUTTON CLlCKS]

Data, are you all right?

I do not know.

I'm surprised to find myself here.

I thought I was on Barkon IV.

What's the last thing
you remember?

I had located
the crashed Federation probe

and collected
the radioactive fragments.

I was attempting
to download the sensor logs

from the probe's onboard computer.

There was a power surge.

I believe the surge
overloaded my positronic matrix.

After that,

I have no memory until this moment.

But it appears
I had an interesting time.

RlKER: We don't know much
about what happened either.

Apparently, you saved an entire village
from radiation poisoning.

And you were a very special friend
to a little girl.

Well...

If you'll excuse me,
I have the bridge this watch.

Counselor, have you been promoted
in my absence?

That's right.

Which means from now on,
you can call me "sir."

Yes, sir.
