00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,321
Captain's log, stardate 42923.4.

2
00:00:05,488 --> 00:00:09,115
Despite misgivings,
I have agreed to Starfleet's request

3
00:00:09,283 --> 00:00:11,492
to divert to the Braslota system

4
00:00:11,660 --> 00:00:14,202
to take part
in a war-game exercise.

5
00:00:14,371 --> 00:00:17,038
Joining us
as observer and mediator

6
00:00:17,164 --> 00:00:21,834
is the Zakdorn master strategist,
Sirna Kolrami.

8
00:00:32,634 --> 00:00:35,802
Mr Kolrami, Capt Jean-Luc Picard.
Welcome aboard.

9
00:00:35,971 --> 00:00:39,431
Captain, I bring you greetings
from those at Starfleet Command.

10
00:00:39,598 --> 00:00:41,933
Would you care to see your quarters?

11
00:00:42,100 --> 00:00:43,809
I require little rest.

12
00:00:43,976 --> 00:00:47,019
I prefer that we commence
with our mission.

13
00:00:53,859 --> 00:00:55,902
Despite their reputations,

14
00:00:56,069 --> 00:01:00,572
this Zakdorn does not appear
to be a very formidable warrior.

15
00:01:01,699 --> 00:01:03,825
In military brinksmanship,

16
00:01:03,992 --> 00:01:06,659
individual physical prowess
is less important

17
00:01:06,786 --> 00:01:09,245
than the perception
of the whole species.

18
00:01:09,413 --> 00:01:13,040
For over nine millennia,
foes have regarded the Zakdorns

19
00:01:13,207 --> 00:01:16,500
as having the greatest
strategic minds in the galaxy.

20
00:01:17,086 --> 00:01:20,838
So no one is willing to test
that perception in combat.

21
00:01:21,381 --> 00:01:22,881
Exactly.

22
00:01:25,134 --> 00:01:27,135
Then the reputation means nothing.

23
00:01:28,094 --> 00:01:31,971
The Braslota system.
In orbit around the second planet

24
00:01:32,139 --> 00:01:35,599
is the 80-year-old starcruiser
Hathaway.

25
00:01:38,394 --> 00:01:40,520
He is still your first choice?

26
00:01:40,896 --> 00:01:43,647
Cmdr Riker
will captain the Hathaway.

27
00:01:44,608 --> 00:01:48,360
You have 48 hours to prepare
before the Enterprise attacks.

28
00:01:48,527 --> 00:01:51,653
- We'll experience battle conditions?
- Correct.

29
00:01:51,822 --> 00:01:55,115
Engineering will disconnect
the Enterprise's weapons

30
00:01:55,282 --> 00:01:58,200
and link the system
with a modified pulse beam.

31
00:01:58,368 --> 00:02:00,619
Hits are recorded electronically.

32
00:02:00,787 --> 00:02:04,873
If the computer registers damage,
it will act accordingly,

33
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,959
shutting down the affected areas
for the appropriate repair time.

34
00:02:10,502 --> 00:02:12,336
Additional questions?

35
00:02:16,340 --> 00:02:18,799
Capt Picard,
it is my understanding

36
00:02:18,967 --> 00:02:22,886
that you initially resisted
the request for this simulation.

37
00:02:23,846 --> 00:02:24,804
Yes.

38
00:02:25,890 --> 00:02:27,182
May I know why?

39
00:02:27,349 --> 00:02:31,268
Starfleet is not military.
Its purpose is exploration.

40
00:02:32,395 --> 00:02:34,813
Then why am I here?

41
00:02:35,897 --> 00:02:38,065
With the Borg threat,

42
00:02:38,233 --> 00:02:43,277
I decided that my officers and I
needed to hone our tactical skills.

43
00:02:43,444 --> 00:02:47,655
In a crisis situation, it is
prudent to have several options.

44
00:02:49,157 --> 00:02:51,533
I prefer brains over brawn, too.

45
00:02:51,701 --> 00:02:54,410
It's a waste of effort
testing combat skills.

46
00:02:54,579 --> 00:02:57,121
It's a small part in the make-up
of a captain.

47
00:02:57,623 --> 00:02:59,958
Your objection is noted.

48
00:03:00,125 --> 00:03:03,752
Let us hope that
your distaste for the exercise

49
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:08,338
will not affect
your strategic abilities.

50
00:03:08,756 --> 00:03:13,050
Mr Kolrami, when I agree
to do something, I do it.

51
00:03:14,969 --> 00:03:17,137
Do you care to surrender now?

52
00:03:40,156 --> 00:03:43,199
Space, the final frontier.

53
00:03:44,575 --> 00:03:48,577
These are the voyages
of the Starship Enterprise.

54
00:03:48,746 --> 00:03:53,623
Its continuing mission,
to explore strange, new worlds,...

55
00:03:54,583 --> 00:03:58,210
..to seek out new life
and new civilizations,...

56
00:03:59,170 --> 00:04:03,339
..to boldly go
where no one has gone before.

57
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,891
Your team should number 40,
so select whom you will,

58
00:05:11,060 --> 00:05:14,645
except Mr Data,
who will serve as my First Officer.

59
00:05:14,813 --> 00:05:17,939
I had envisaged you
defining the crew.

60
00:05:20,859 --> 00:05:24,820
Here, the leader of an away team
controls the mission.

61
00:05:25,655 --> 00:05:29,240
If you want to judge leadership,
start at the beginning.

62
00:05:29,407 --> 00:05:32,199
Very well, Captain.

63
00:05:34,620 --> 00:05:38,205
- My, what a charmer.
- Doctor...

64
00:05:38,373 --> 00:05:41,708
Captain,
he needs an attitude adjustment.

65
00:05:41,875 --> 00:05:45,794
The Zakdornian culture is replete
with self-assuredness.

66
00:05:45,962 --> 00:05:47,587
Seldom is it undeserved.

67
00:05:47,756 --> 00:05:52,009
Kolrami is a third-level grandmaster
at the game of strategema.

68
00:05:56,303 --> 00:05:58,095
Another millimeter.

69
00:05:58,263 --> 00:06:01,973
That's it. A little more.
There. That's excellent.

70
00:06:02,142 --> 00:06:04,518
- Lieutenant?
- Yes, Commander?

71
00:06:04,685 --> 00:06:08,437
- You've heard about the simulation?
- Yes. Good luck.

72
00:06:08,605 --> 00:06:12,482
I researched those Avidyne engines.
They're archaic. Touchy.

73
00:06:12,649 --> 00:06:16,359
Anticipating the worst,
can they be overhauled in 48 hours?

74
00:06:16,528 --> 00:06:21,031
I've already taken the liberty of
putting together a few necessities.

75
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:32,998
Enter!

76
00:06:43,215 --> 00:06:44,799
Am I disturbing you?

77
00:06:53,599 --> 00:06:54,640
Just finished.

78
00:06:55,099 --> 00:06:57,517
What do you think of the simulation?

79
00:06:58,436 --> 00:07:01,813
- Waste of time.
- It's just an exercise.

80
00:07:02,397 --> 00:07:06,942
Useless. If there is nothing
to lose, no sacrifice,

81
00:07:07,109 --> 00:07:08,985
then there is nothing to gain.

82
00:07:12,613 --> 00:07:14,405
You mean, besides pride.

83
00:07:15,532 --> 00:07:20,160
In this case, it doesn't matter.
I probably haven't got a chance.

84
00:07:20,328 --> 00:07:22,995
- There is always a chance.
- Slim.

85
00:07:23,163 --> 00:07:25,830
The Hathaway's
most sophisticated weapons,

86
00:07:25,956 --> 00:07:29,249
even in a computer mock-up,
can't defeat the Enterprise.

87
00:07:29,877 --> 00:07:30,793
Well, still...

88
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,420
You're out-manned, out-gunned,
out-equipped. What's left?

89
00:07:40,968 --> 00:07:42,135
Guile.

90
00:07:43,387 --> 00:07:44,470
Join me.

91
00:07:48,266 --> 00:07:50,225
The honour is to serve.

92
00:07:58,065 --> 00:08:01,442
Scan all sectors within
three light years of Braslota.

93
00:08:01,610 --> 00:08:04,903
- How's your crew shaping up?
- One last request.

94
00:08:05,070 --> 00:08:06,403
Anyone in particular?

95
00:08:06,572 --> 00:08:11,908
I would like Acting Ensign Crusher
on board for educational observation.

96
00:08:17,455 --> 00:08:18,830
Thank you, Captain.

97
00:08:20,833 --> 00:08:23,959
We'll have some time
before reaching Braslota.

98
00:08:24,128 --> 00:08:27,379
Would you play me
in a game of strategema?

99
00:08:28,881 --> 00:08:32,508
Although I'm intrigued
by the audacity of your request,

100
00:08:32,676 --> 00:08:36,136
I can't fathom
why you would wish the encounter.

101
00:08:37,262 --> 00:08:39,638
- I enjoy a challenge.
- Very well.

102
00:08:40,181 --> 00:08:45,934
An opponent of limited dimensions
can often be quite diverting.

103
00:08:48,230 --> 00:08:49,563
Thank you.

104
00:08:56,027 --> 00:08:58,153
- You're gonna beat him?
- No.

105
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,862
- Then it's gonna be close?
- No.

106
00:09:01,031 --> 00:09:03,157
- But you have a chance?
- No!

107
00:09:03,324 --> 00:09:05,450
- Are you going to show up?
- Sure.

108
00:09:05,617 --> 00:09:08,910
Kolrami's the best.
Just to play him is a privilege.

109
00:09:09,079 --> 00:09:12,330
Aside from that, is there anything
to look forward to?

110
00:09:12,499 --> 00:09:13,374
No.

111
00:09:13,541 --> 00:09:15,333
This is gonna be exciting.

112
00:09:29,512 --> 00:09:32,012
Against an opponent
of approximate skill,

113
00:09:32,181 --> 00:09:34,723
strategema can last over 1,000 moves.

114
00:09:34,890 --> 00:09:37,682
I wouldn't bet on being here
that long.

115
00:09:37,851 --> 00:09:40,560
I have wagered heavily
in the ship's pool

116
00:09:40,729 --> 00:09:44,022
that you will take him
past the sixth plateau.

117
00:09:44,190 --> 00:09:45,565
And if I don't?

118
00:09:47,108 --> 00:09:50,359
I will be irritated.

119
00:09:51,738 --> 00:09:55,156
Forever curious,
this urge to compete.

120
00:09:55,323 --> 00:09:56,865
It's a human response.

121
00:09:57,033 --> 00:10:00,910
That inborn craving to gauge
your capabilities through conflict.

122
00:10:01,078 --> 00:10:03,578
There are other ways
to challenge oneself.

123
00:10:03,747 --> 00:10:06,498
Perhaps, but they all lack
a certain thrill.

124
00:10:06,665 --> 00:10:08,332
Humans can find it helpful

125
00:10:08,501 --> 00:10:12,378
to have an outsider set the standard
by which they're judged.

126
00:10:12,545 --> 00:10:14,296
To avoid deceiving oneself.

127
00:10:15,881 --> 00:10:19,758
Maybe you should
challenge Kolrami to strategema.

128
00:10:20,260 --> 00:10:21,218
Why, Doctor?

129
00:10:21,385 --> 00:10:23,136
When someone is that smug,

130
00:10:23,304 --> 00:10:26,180
you occasionally
have to deflate them a little.

131
00:10:26,347 --> 00:10:30,725
Yeah, I'd like to see your
neural flex tear him down a peg.

132
00:10:30,892 --> 00:10:32,267
To what end?

133
00:10:34,229 --> 00:10:38,023
Computer,
actuation positions for strategema.

134
00:10:38,190 --> 00:10:39,774
Ready? Begin.

135
00:10:42,152 --> 00:10:44,861
- Come on, Commander.
- Will.

136
00:10:45,029 --> 00:10:47,155
You can get him. Come on.

137
00:10:47,323 --> 00:10:48,698
Come on, you got him.

138
00:10:50,825 --> 00:10:52,617
Here you go.

139
00:11:01,333 --> 00:11:03,751
- That's it?
- I'm afraid so.

140
00:11:03,919 --> 00:11:06,586
- But you only made 23 moves.
- Yes.

141
00:11:07,588 --> 00:11:09,380
Congratulations.

142
00:11:21,349 --> 00:11:25,018
Cmdr Riker,
there's your next challenge.

143
00:11:28,688 --> 00:11:32,023
Away team assembled
and ready to transport.

144
00:11:32,190 --> 00:11:35,108
I may get there
and want to come right home.

145
00:11:35,276 --> 00:11:38,486
Good luck, Number One. Captain.

146
00:11:38,654 --> 00:11:42,114
The simulation
will commence in 48 hours.

147
00:12:04,090 --> 00:12:08,009
There should be some
emergency bridge lighting here.

148
00:12:16,725 --> 00:12:18,100
Not good.

149
00:12:18,268 --> 00:12:22,687
You're wrong, Mr Worf,
it's fantastic. And it's ours.

150
00:12:25,482 --> 00:12:27,066
Mr Worf?

151
00:12:33,905 --> 00:12:38,949
Sir, Lt La Forge is a superior
officer. The honour should be his.

152
00:12:39,118 --> 00:12:42,536
This is a battle simulation.
You're my Tactical Officer.

153
00:12:42,704 --> 00:12:45,538
I've discussed this with Geordi
and we agreed.

154
00:12:45,706 --> 00:12:49,541
Besides, if Engineering's anything
like the bridge, I'll be busy.

155
00:13:02,803 --> 00:13:07,514
Attention, crew of the USS Hathaway.
This is your Captain.

156
00:13:07,682 --> 00:13:11,392
Over the next two days
you might lose a lot of sleep,

157
00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:17,063
but with your skill and stamina
we'll have this lady ready to fly.

158
00:13:17,231 --> 00:13:22,150
I want hourly progress reports
from all stations. Riker out.

159
00:14:03,267 --> 00:14:07,603
Nice job, Geordi. Now what are
the possibilities of warp drive?

160
00:14:14,818 --> 00:14:16,193
Not good.

161
00:14:17,528 --> 00:14:21,530
There are only a few dilithium
fragments left in the holding clamps.

162
00:14:21,698 --> 00:14:25,492
Also, there's no antimatter
to fuel the drive.

163
00:14:25,659 --> 00:14:27,368
Any recommendations?

164
00:14:27,535 --> 00:14:30,202
- No, sir.
- We haven't got a prayer.

165
00:14:31,706 --> 00:14:35,291
Would you like to transfer back
to the Enterprise, Mr Crusher?

166
00:14:35,876 --> 00:14:37,293
No, sir.

167
00:14:38,878 --> 00:14:42,839
Wes, remember our purpose
is to improvise.

168
00:14:43,006 --> 00:14:45,007
It's the effort that counts.

169
00:14:49,011 --> 00:14:50,595
Open.

170
00:14:52,514 --> 00:14:55,348
I believe the rules
are understood by all.

171
00:14:55,516 --> 00:14:58,809
- Weapons conversion, Lt Burke?
- Complete, Captain.

172
00:14:58,977 --> 00:15:03,688
- Signal received. Locked on.
- She's been stripped down.

173
00:15:03,855 --> 00:15:07,357
The only offensive systems you need
will be simulated.

174
00:15:07,525 --> 00:15:10,025
What's the Zakdornian word
for mismatch?

175
00:15:10,194 --> 00:15:13,946
"Challenge." We do not whine
about the inequities of life.

176
00:15:14,114 --> 00:15:18,659
How you perform in a mismatch is
what is of interest to Starfleet.

177
00:15:18,826 --> 00:15:22,703
After all, when one is
in the superior position,

178
00:15:22,871 --> 00:15:25,914
one is expected to win.

179
00:15:26,749 --> 00:15:29,208
Screen off.
You have the bridge, Mr Data.

180
00:15:29,376 --> 00:15:30,292
Aye, sir.

181
00:15:30,460 --> 00:15:34,045
Lt Cmdr Data,
I'm intrigued by your challenge.

182
00:15:34,213 --> 00:15:38,507
Dr Pulaski informed me of your
desire to play a game of strategema.

183
00:15:41,343 --> 00:15:43,927
But I expressed no such interest.

184
00:15:44,096 --> 00:15:47,931
Data means he would never
have asked you himself,

185
00:15:48,098 --> 00:15:51,475
but he wants to pit
his skill against yours.

186
00:15:51,643 --> 00:15:56,480
Play against a machine.
Why should I wish to?

187
00:15:56,647 --> 00:16:00,900
I don't blame you. It's no fun
when you know you're going to lose.

188
00:16:01,067 --> 00:16:06,153
But I wouldn't lose. Now you'll
no doubt tell me to prove it.

189
00:16:06,321 --> 00:16:10,407
- Data, you can't let that pass.
- Indeed, I...

190
00:16:13,118 --> 00:16:14,326
Cannot.

191
00:16:14,494 --> 00:16:17,954
Then you will play
for the honour of your ship.

192
00:16:20,249 --> 00:16:22,584
The honour of the ship?

193
00:16:22,751 --> 00:16:25,877
It's your reputation
that's on the line.

194
00:16:34,635 --> 00:16:38,804
With my knowledge of the
Enterprise's Security override,

195
00:16:38,971 --> 00:16:41,347
we may be able
to convince the sensors

196
00:16:41,515 --> 00:16:44,182
that an enemy ship is approaching.

197
00:16:44,309 --> 00:16:47,519
Their instruments would lie to them.

198
00:16:47,687 --> 00:16:51,481
That might give us
the edge we're looking for.

199
00:16:51,648 --> 00:16:54,190
But what about the viewscreen?

200
00:16:54,359 --> 00:16:55,776
If I am successful,

201
00:16:55,943 --> 00:17:00,321
the computer will project
a false image of the enemy ship.

202
00:17:00,489 --> 00:17:03,532
So unless someone
runs to a window and looks out...

203
00:17:03,699 --> 00:17:06,491
They're going to fall for it!

204
00:17:20,671 --> 00:17:23,380
The lining's still smooth.

205
00:17:23,548 --> 00:17:27,592
We should be able to do something
with the dilithium we scavenged.

206
00:17:27,759 --> 00:17:29,802
I'm sure the system's functional.

207
00:17:29,969 --> 00:17:33,888
But without antimatter,
what difference does it make?

208
00:17:35,265 --> 00:17:37,433
I have to return to the Enterprise.

209
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,893
We've only got 32 hours!

210
00:17:40,061 --> 00:17:42,770
- This is important.
- And this isn't?

211
00:17:44,231 --> 00:17:47,482
Attempt the routeing bypass here.

212
00:17:47,650 --> 00:17:51,277
If it works, they will be surprised.

213
00:17:51,445 --> 00:17:54,237
Where am I going to get
the opti-cable?

214
00:17:56,991 --> 00:17:58,575
Anywhere.

215
00:18:03,621 --> 00:18:07,123
Captain? I left an experiment
running on the Enterprise.

216
00:18:07,290 --> 00:18:10,792
- May I go back and shut it down?
- It's that important?

217
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:15,797
It has to be monitored. It is
my final grade in plasma physics.

218
00:18:18,966 --> 00:18:22,384
- Message from the Hathaway, sir.
- On screen.

219
00:18:22,970 --> 00:18:26,889
Request permission
for Ensign Crusher to reboard.

220
00:18:27,056 --> 00:18:28,348
Why?

221
00:18:28,515 --> 00:18:33,143
Apparently, he left a very critical
experiment unattended.

222
00:18:34,687 --> 00:18:37,187
- Any objection?
- He should be escorted,

223
00:18:37,356 --> 00:18:41,358
and have no contact
with anything save his research.

224
00:18:41,526 --> 00:18:45,445
Permission granted.
Mr Burke, will you handle that?

225
00:18:45,612 --> 00:18:46,570
Aye, sir.

226
00:18:46,738 --> 00:18:49,114
I don't know why Riker chose him.

227
00:18:49,282 --> 00:18:52,158
Just a noncommissioned child.

228
00:18:55,120 --> 00:18:59,957
I can't believe I forgot about this.
I let excitement cloud my judgement.

229
00:19:00,123 --> 00:19:03,208
It's very dull.
I spent six weeks setting this up.

230
00:19:03,376 --> 00:19:07,879
- That's a lot of work.
- Oh, no! This is ruined.

231
00:19:08,046 --> 00:19:12,841
Too bad. Look, is this going
to take much longer?

232
00:19:13,008 --> 00:19:16,677
I'll have to dispose of this safely.
It's very volatile.

233
00:19:17,804 --> 00:19:21,389
- I'll beam it off the Enterprise.
- Fine. Just do it.

234
00:19:21,557 --> 00:19:24,600
I'll transfer it
to the transporter room.

235
00:20:00,212 --> 00:20:05,049
In the present context, what did
she mean by, "Bust him up"?

236
00:20:05,216 --> 00:20:08,342
In her own way,
Dr Pulaski was instructing you

237
00:20:08,510 --> 00:20:11,094
to take the shortest route
to victory.

238
00:20:11,262 --> 00:20:13,096
As opposed to what?

239
00:20:18,977 --> 00:20:21,936
Ready? Begin.

240
00:20:42,495 --> 00:20:44,954
I can't believe it.

241
00:20:45,122 --> 00:20:47,873
A computer beaten
by flesh and blood?

242
00:20:49,125 --> 00:20:52,293
You advanced quite far
against a worthy opponent.

243
00:20:52,461 --> 00:20:54,961
Thoroughly enjoyable, Mr Data.

244
00:20:56,214 --> 00:20:59,465
I'm at your disposal for a rematch.

245
00:20:59,633 --> 00:21:02,759
Thank you.
But what would be the point?

246
00:21:06,055 --> 00:21:11,266
How can you lose?
You're supposed to be infallible.

247
00:21:11,435 --> 00:21:14,144
Obviously, I am not.

248
00:21:22,693 --> 00:21:24,444
Ensign, where is Cmdr Data?

249
00:21:24,611 --> 00:21:28,947
He has temporarily removed himself
from bridge duty, sir.

250
00:21:29,114 --> 00:21:34,492
Your crew is excellently trained.
A tribute to your leadership.

251
00:21:34,661 --> 00:21:38,747
Although I doubt their extensive
preparation will be needed.

252
00:21:39,331 --> 00:21:40,664
Why is that?

253
00:21:41,583 --> 00:21:47,420
I do not expect Capt Riker
will present much of a challenge.

254
00:21:48,338 --> 00:21:51,798
Mr Kolrami,
may I speak with you in private?

255
00:22:01,098 --> 00:22:04,600
I want to know the root of
your prejudice for my First Officer.

256
00:22:04,768 --> 00:22:05,768
Captain.

257
00:22:05,935 --> 00:22:09,770
Mr Kolrami, you have denigrated
and abused Cmdr Riker

258
00:22:09,939 --> 00:22:11,940
since coming aboard this ship.

259
00:22:12,107 --> 00:22:15,275
I would like some explanation.

260
00:22:15,442 --> 00:22:19,987
Having studied William Riker's file
prior to this assignment,

261
00:22:20,154 --> 00:22:23,572
I have found him wanting.

262
00:22:23,741 --> 00:22:25,575
In what regard?

263
00:22:27,201 --> 00:22:30,035
His work record is exemplary,

264
00:22:30,204 --> 00:22:37,209
but, as you know, a starship captain
is not manufactured.

265
00:22:37,376 --> 00:22:41,712
He, or she, is born from inside.

266
00:22:41,879 --> 00:22:44,421
From the character of the individual.

267
00:22:44,590 --> 00:22:46,674
My interviews have revealed a man

268
00:22:46,842 --> 00:22:51,095
who displays circumstantially
inappropriate joviality,

269
00:22:51,263 --> 00:22:54,348
belying the seriousness
of his station.

270
00:22:56,850 --> 00:23:01,019
Don't confuse style with intent.

271
00:23:02,020 --> 00:23:05,855
Only a fool would question
Riker's dedication to Starfleet

272
00:23:06,024 --> 00:23:08,442
and the people under his command.

273
00:23:08,609 --> 00:23:11,902
He is the finest officer
with whom I have ever served.

274
00:23:12,070 --> 00:23:18,449
We shall see if your faith
is well founded.

275
00:23:18,616 --> 00:23:22,660
The test is whether the crew
will follow where he leads.

276
00:23:22,829 --> 00:23:24,204
His...

277
00:23:25,414 --> 00:23:31,084
His joviality is the means
by which he creates that loyalty.

278
00:23:31,252 --> 00:23:35,546
And I will match his command style
with your statistics any time.

279
00:23:43,678 --> 00:23:45,595
Come in, please.

280
00:23:49,183 --> 00:23:50,141
Data.

281
00:23:50,308 --> 00:23:52,643
Counsellor. Is something the matter?

282
00:23:52,810 --> 00:23:55,186
That was going to be my question.

283
00:23:55,854 --> 00:23:58,354
With my repository of knowledge,

284
00:23:58,523 --> 00:24:02,233
I expected to perform better
against a humanoid life form.

285
00:24:02,401 --> 00:24:08,238
Some of our greatest advances
have come from analyzing failure.

286
00:24:08,406 --> 00:24:12,742
- While it can be ego-bruising...
- I do not have an ego.

287
00:24:13,660 --> 00:24:15,077
Yes.

288
00:24:15,244 --> 00:24:19,163
Well, a loss can be disheartening.

289
00:24:19,330 --> 00:24:23,040
- But I do not have a...
- Data!

290
00:24:24,085 --> 00:24:26,466
You can handle defeat in two ways.

291
00:24:26,634 --> 00:24:30,644
You can lose confidence,
or you can learn from your mistakes.

292
00:24:32,233 --> 00:24:35,325
That is what troubles me.
I made no mistakes.

293
00:24:36,412 --> 00:24:39,963
I have conducted a diagnostic
check of all my programs.

294
00:24:40,131 --> 00:24:42,303
I am checking the ship's computer.

295
00:24:42,471 --> 00:24:44,225
Is that all necessary?

296
00:24:44,393 --> 00:24:47,944
I believe so.
I have proven to be vulnerable.

297
00:24:48,112 --> 00:24:52,164
At present, my deductions
should be treated with scepticism.

298
00:24:52,333 --> 00:24:55,173
That's why you haven't been
on the bridge?

299
00:24:55,342 --> 00:25:00,105
Yes. The Captain would be ill-advised
to rely upon my judgement.

300
00:25:01,819 --> 00:25:05,621
I think you're overreacting.
I'm sure you're alright.

301
00:25:07,084 --> 00:25:10,092
l, however, am not sure.

302
00:25:18,868 --> 00:25:20,538
Easy now.

303
00:25:21,542 --> 00:25:24,299
- Is that it?
- Yeah.

304
00:25:24,885 --> 00:25:26,221
Good. Good work.

305
00:25:26,390 --> 00:25:29,272
Alright. Hand me
that connector on the kit.

306
00:25:35,709 --> 00:25:39,511
- What is that?
- My experiment from the Enterprise.

307
00:25:39,678 --> 00:25:41,348
Wes?

308
00:25:41,516 --> 00:25:46,446
It deals with high-energy
plasma reactions with antimatter.

309
00:25:47,910 --> 00:25:50,708
You went back to the Enterprise
for that?

310
00:25:51,462 --> 00:25:55,180
- You cheated.
- No, sir. You told me to improvise.

311
00:25:55,349 --> 00:26:00,446
We need to calibrate a thermal curve
to start a controlled reaction.

312
00:26:02,494 --> 00:26:06,129
Assuming you can,
can you regulate the reaction?

313
00:26:09,389 --> 00:26:12,647
There's just enough crystal left
to do it.

314
00:26:14,821 --> 00:26:17,745
We'll channel
the reaction through the chips.

315
00:26:17,913 --> 00:26:20,001
- Are we good?
- Better than good.

316
00:26:20,170 --> 00:26:23,805
Great. Brilliant.
It's gonna be fun. Carry on.

317
00:26:30,742 --> 00:26:32,204
Come in, please.

318
00:26:34,379 --> 00:26:37,972
- Alright, Data, enough of this.
- Doctor?

319
00:26:38,139 --> 00:26:41,857
How long are you going to sulk
like Achilles in his tent?

320
00:26:42,026 --> 00:26:43,906
I'm conducting diagnostic...

321
00:26:44,073 --> 00:26:46,538
You can sell Troi that story,
but not me.

322
00:26:46,706 --> 00:26:50,466
You're smarting because
you were beaten. Well, it happens.

323
00:26:50,633 --> 00:26:56,566
No, Doctor, I'm concerned about
giving the Captain unsound advice.

324
00:26:58,865 --> 00:27:03,168
I wish I had never manoeuvred you
into playing that game!

325
00:27:03,337 --> 00:27:04,464
I'm sorry.

326
00:27:05,009 --> 00:27:08,727
Why, Doctor? It is done,
and perhaps just as well.

327
00:27:08,894 --> 00:27:12,319
This has indicated
that I am damaged in some fashion.

328
00:27:12,488 --> 00:27:14,869
I must find the malfunction.

329
00:27:25,944 --> 00:27:28,116
The simulation begins in one hour.

330
00:27:28,284 --> 00:27:31,334
You'll have warp drive,
but maybe not what you expect.

331
00:27:31,502 --> 00:27:33,507
That deserves an explanation.

332
00:27:33,675 --> 00:27:36,767
- We'll have warp one for...
- Just under two seconds.

333
00:27:36,934 --> 00:27:41,154
Not enough for an escape.
It may give us strategic advantage.

334
00:27:41,322 --> 00:27:44,789
- All of this is theoretical.
- And if it fails to pay off?

335
00:27:44,957 --> 00:27:47,755
Have you ever driven
a Grenthemen water hopper?

336
00:27:47,924 --> 00:27:51,057
- Ever popped the clutch?
- We could stall the Hathaway?

337
00:27:51,225 --> 00:27:54,275
And the Enterprise
will pulverise us.

338
00:28:06,352 --> 00:28:10,404
Let me try to understand.
You are saying that Cmdr Data

339
00:28:10,573 --> 00:28:15,168
is suffering from
a profound loss of confidence,

340
00:28:15,337 --> 00:28:19,139
and that you believe
that only I can restore the balance?

341
00:28:19,306 --> 00:28:20,308
Yes, sir.

342
00:28:20,476 --> 00:28:24,528
Deanna and I have tried,
but we're not getting through to him.

343
00:28:24,698 --> 00:28:27,163
Don't you think you're overreacting?

344
00:28:27,330 --> 00:28:31,007
Data is not capable of the emotions
you're assigning him.

345
00:28:31,175 --> 00:28:32,845
The effects are the same,

346
00:28:33,013 --> 00:28:36,438
whether it's human emotions
or android algorithms.

347
00:28:36,607 --> 00:28:40,074
Data is not on the bridge
and I don't think he will be

348
00:28:40,242 --> 00:28:42,915
until we find some way
to address his problem.

349
00:28:44,546 --> 00:28:48,097
I'm less than one hour away
from a battle simulation,

350
00:28:48,266 --> 00:28:51,023
and I have to hand-hold an android.

351
00:28:51,191 --> 00:28:53,488
The burdens of command.

352
00:29:00,927 --> 00:29:02,681
Come in, please.

353
00:29:05,022 --> 00:29:07,737
I require your presence
on the bridge.

354
00:29:07,905 --> 00:29:10,077
Captain, with all due respect,

355
00:29:10,245 --> 00:29:13,337
you should choose
another First Officer.

356
00:29:13,505 --> 00:29:15,593
You are my First Officer.

357
00:29:16,389 --> 00:29:20,776
I have not isolated the problem.
I might make a mistake.

358
00:29:22,323 --> 00:29:24,203
Yes, you might.

359
00:29:24,370 --> 00:29:28,005
But that does not alter
your duty to me and to this ship.

360
00:29:28,173 --> 00:29:30,638
Do you know
how to formulate a premise?

361
00:29:31,140 --> 00:29:33,145
- Yes, sir.
- Formulate this.

362
00:29:33,312 --> 00:29:36,487
How do I deal with
Cmdr Riker and the Hathaway?

363
00:29:36,655 --> 00:29:39,495
I will await your answer
on the bridge.

364
00:29:40,500 --> 00:29:43,006
And, Commander,

365
00:29:43,174 --> 00:29:48,062
it is possible to commit
no mistakes and still lose.

366
00:29:49,693 --> 00:29:53,453
That is not a weakness.
That is life.

367
00:29:56,211 --> 00:29:58,049
I believe I understand, sir.

368
00:29:58,845 --> 00:30:04,485
Will you leave your hesitation and
self-doubt here in your quarters?

369
00:30:16,187 --> 00:30:20,525
I have several examples of
Cmdr Riker's battle technique.

370
00:30:20,692 --> 00:30:21,985
At the Academy,

371
00:30:22,152 --> 00:30:26,198
he calculated a sensory blind spot
on a Tholian vessel

372
00:30:26,366 --> 00:30:29,160
and hid within it
in a battle simulation.

373
00:30:29,327 --> 00:30:31,454
As a lieutenant on the Potemkin,

374
00:30:31,622 --> 00:30:34,500
his solution to a crisis
was to shut down power

375
00:30:34,667 --> 00:30:37,169
and hang over
a planet's magnetic pole,

376
00:30:37,337 --> 00:30:39,506
confusing
his opponent's sensors.

377
00:30:40,466 --> 00:30:45,263
From these specifics, what
conclusion can you extrapolate?

378
00:30:45,430 --> 00:30:49,977
Only 21 percent of the time does
he rely on traditional tactics.

379
00:30:50,144 --> 00:30:55,483
So, the Captain must be prepared
for unusual cunning.

380
00:30:57,277 --> 00:31:01,907
Counsellor, Cmdr Riker will assume
we have made this analysis.

381
00:31:02,075 --> 00:31:05,704
Knowing that we know his methods,
he will alter them.

382
00:31:05,871 --> 00:31:09,416
But knowing that he knows
that we know that he knows,

383
00:31:09,584 --> 00:31:12,086
he might return to his usual pattern.

384
00:31:12,254 --> 00:31:16,383
Wait! You're overanalyzing, Data.

385
00:31:16,550 --> 00:31:19,386
One cannot deny human nature.

386
00:31:20,597 --> 00:31:22,724
What kind of a man is Cmdr Riker?

387
00:31:25,645 --> 00:31:27,855
- A fighter?
- Yes.

388
00:31:28,022 --> 00:31:32,360
The weaker his position,
the more aggressive his posture.

389
00:31:32,528 --> 00:31:35,531
And he won't give up.

390
00:31:35,698 --> 00:31:40,203
Then despite whatever options
he is given, he must be...

391
00:31:40,370 --> 00:31:43,290
The man that he is. Exactly.

392
00:31:45,376 --> 00:31:47,336
Is that a failing in humans?

393
00:31:50,507 --> 00:31:53,343
You will have to decide
that for yourself.

394
00:32:05,358 --> 00:32:07,360
On screen.

395
00:32:10,114 --> 00:32:12,199
The hunt begins, Number One.

396
00:32:12,367 --> 00:32:17,581
We're ready. Remember, Enterprise,
Capt Riker has never lost.

397
00:32:17,748 --> 00:32:20,209
Begin now.

398
00:32:20,793 --> 00:32:22,711
Screen off.

399
00:32:22,879 --> 00:32:25,715
Set course 223, mark 357.

400
00:32:25,883 --> 00:32:29,345
Full impulse power.
Initiate Kumeh manoeuvre.

401
00:32:33,976 --> 00:32:38,231
Kumeh manoeuvre? Why start
with such a recognizable ploy?

402
00:32:38,398 --> 00:32:41,485
He wants us to reveal our tactics.
Mr Worf?

403
00:32:42,486 --> 00:32:45,030
Counter with the Talupian manoeuvre.

404
00:32:45,198 --> 00:32:49,202
Agreed. Three-quarter impulse,
full on my command.

405
00:32:49,494 --> 00:32:53,415
- Mr Worf, prepare your surprise.
- Aye, sir.

406
00:32:53,583 --> 00:32:57,170
Set course 317, mark 73.

407
00:32:57,337 --> 00:33:00,173
Present minimal aspect.
Ready warp one.

408
00:33:00,341 --> 00:33:02,635
Optimal spread
on simulated torpedoes.

409
00:33:04,804 --> 00:33:07,891
Romulan warship approaching
from astern.

410
00:33:08,058 --> 00:33:10,060
- What?
- It came out of nowhere.

411
00:33:10,227 --> 00:33:12,437
Bring us about. Maximum shields.

412
00:33:12,605 --> 00:33:15,775
Full weapon systems.
Open hailing frequency.

413
00:33:15,942 --> 00:33:18,653
I can't, sir, there's nothing there.

414
00:33:24,953 --> 00:33:26,788
Warp three, evasive.

415
00:33:26,956 --> 00:33:30,960
Disengage weapons and shields.
Re-engage modified beam.

416
00:33:31,127 --> 00:33:34,130
- He's quite good.
- He's the best.

417
00:33:34,298 --> 00:33:38,010
Computer reports simulated damage
to several aft decks.

418
00:33:38,177 --> 00:33:40,513
Repair time, 3.6 days.

419
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,098
How did he do that?

420
00:33:42,265 --> 00:33:46,812
Mr Worf overrode the sensor codes.
Played some holographic games.

421
00:33:46,979 --> 00:33:48,856
Mr Data, input a new code.

422
00:33:50,692 --> 00:33:54,404
Attack posture,
circumvental attitude.

423
00:33:54,572 --> 00:33:57,408
Prepare beams for photon mode.

424
00:34:01,372 --> 00:34:03,582
Bye-bye, Hathaway.

425
00:34:04,375 --> 00:34:06,836
Computers report damage
to the Enterprise.

426
00:34:07,003 --> 00:34:09,172
They're moving.
Why not go after them?

427
00:34:09,339 --> 00:34:12,384
They're not through with us.
Prepare warp jump.

428
00:34:12,552 --> 00:34:15,388
- There are no guarantees.
- There never are.

429
00:34:15,555 --> 00:34:20,602
I'm gonna trust your expertise.
Stand by for my signal.

430
00:34:20,770 --> 00:34:23,106
Ready with photon torpedoes.

431
00:34:23,273 --> 00:34:27,694
Captain, sensors picking up
a Ferengi warship at warp five.

432
00:34:27,861 --> 00:34:30,697
- Did you input that new code?
- Aye, sir.

433
00:34:31,991 --> 00:34:37,580
Mr Worf, I didn't give you enough
credit. Continue the simulation...

434
00:34:37,748 --> 00:34:39,541
Divert all power to shields!

435
00:34:39,876 --> 00:34:41,377
Sever modified beams.

436
00:34:41,544 --> 00:34:44,714
- Engage phasers and target.
- Fire when ready!

437
00:34:48,469 --> 00:34:51,138
That's no ghost attacking.
That's real.

438
00:34:51,264 --> 00:34:54,976
- We must assist, sir.
- We've no offensive weapons.

439
00:34:55,144 --> 00:34:56,896
Where are my weapons?

440
00:34:57,063 --> 00:35:01,735
Unavailable, sir. We cannot disengage
the modified beams.

441
00:35:04,739 --> 00:35:07,283
- We must retreat!
- Unacceptable.

442
00:35:07,450 --> 00:35:09,660
The Ferengi
have stopped their attack.

443
00:35:09,828 --> 00:35:11,538
Transport the away team aboard.

444
00:35:11,705 --> 00:35:14,958
- Transporter functions gone, sir.
- Shields reduced.

445
00:35:15,126 --> 00:35:16,836
Use this moment to escape.

446
00:35:17,003 --> 00:35:19,088
I have 40 crew on the Hathaway.

447
00:35:19,256 --> 00:35:21,300
Sacrifice them to save 1,000.

448
00:35:21,467 --> 00:35:25,138
Acceptable tactical losses
under the circumstances.

449
00:35:25,305 --> 00:35:26,598
Not to me!

450
00:35:26,765 --> 00:35:30,602
Notify Starfleet. Hail the Ferengi
on my word. Formulate alternatives.

451
00:35:30,770 --> 00:35:33,898
As the observer,
I order you to withdraw!

452
00:35:34,065 --> 00:35:35,441
I am the Captain!

453
00:35:35,609 --> 00:35:40,614
Your order is nullified.
Ferengi on main viewscreen.

454
00:35:44,494 --> 00:35:46,371
I am Capt Jean-Luc Picard

455
00:35:46,538 --> 00:35:50,000
of the Federation Starship
USS Enterprise.

456
00:35:50,168 --> 00:35:52,337
Why have you attacked my vessel?

457
00:35:52,504 --> 00:35:54,756
Why was your ship combative

458
00:35:54,923 --> 00:35:59,136
with another Federation vessel
of lesser design?

459
00:35:59,304 --> 00:36:03,100
Why do you now protect
your former target?

460
00:36:03,267 --> 00:36:05,811
What is its value to you?

461
00:36:05,978 --> 00:36:10,942
Our probes indicate you were aware
of our approach, yet took no action.

462
00:36:11,109 --> 00:36:15,280
Your answers
will dictate our response.

463
00:36:17,367 --> 00:36:20,829
We have refrained
from launching a counterattack

464
00:36:20,996 --> 00:36:23,582
in the hope
of a peaceful resolution.

465
00:36:23,749 --> 00:36:27,753
Our probes indicate
that you are crippled,

466
00:36:27,921 --> 00:36:31,258
and the ship you protect
has no weaponry,

467
00:36:31,425 --> 00:36:35,471
no light-speed drive,
and only a scarce crew.

468
00:36:35,638 --> 00:36:38,224
This makes no sense to us.

469
00:36:38,392 --> 00:36:42,313
Unless it contains
something very valuable.

470
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:47,485
I am Bractor, Leader of the Ferengi
attack vessel Kreechta!

471
00:36:47,653 --> 00:36:51,824
I will have the secret
of the other Federation ship.

472
00:36:52,450 --> 00:36:54,952
Surrender it to me,

473
00:36:55,120 --> 00:37:01,168
and I will allow
your Enterprise to leave unharmed.

474
00:37:04,756 --> 00:37:07,509
You have ten of your minutes.

475
00:37:10,931 --> 00:37:13,684
Sir, they're massing
a surge of power.

476
00:37:13,851 --> 00:37:17,188
We're being scanned.
They've locked on.

477
00:37:19,149 --> 00:37:20,108
Data?

478
00:37:20,275 --> 00:37:23,153
Our shields will not withstand
another assault.

479
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:28,868
Then there are no options.
Retreat or die.

480
00:37:37,254 --> 00:37:39,131
Captain's log, supplemental.

481
00:37:39,298 --> 00:37:43,803
Due to my miscalculation,
the Enterprise has been subjected

482
00:37:43,970 --> 00:37:46,556
to a surprise attack
by the Ferengi.

483
00:37:46,723 --> 00:37:50,268
I have little time to decide
the fate of 40 of my crew

484
00:37:50,436 --> 00:37:52,938
stranded aboard
the derelict Hathaway.

485
00:37:53,815 --> 00:37:55,817
I am open to suggestions.

486
00:37:55,984 --> 00:38:00,197
Captain, we can launch a limited
number of photon torpedoes.

487
00:38:00,364 --> 00:38:04,785
I've given you my advice.
The Hathaway is expendable.

488
00:38:04,953 --> 00:38:08,415
- Cmdr Riker is hailing, sir.
- On screen.

489
00:38:10,251 --> 00:38:13,045
Have you been
monitoring communications?

490
00:38:13,213 --> 00:38:16,133
Yes, sir. Kolrami's right.
Save the Enterprise.

491
00:38:16,300 --> 00:38:18,344
That would leave you defenceless.

492
00:38:18,511 --> 00:38:23,516
When Bractor closes in, we'll hit
our warp drive, take our chances.

493
00:38:24,476 --> 00:38:25,518
Your what?

494
00:38:25,686 --> 00:38:28,230
We have
a two-second warp capability.

495
00:38:28,398 --> 00:38:32,027
Impossible! That ship
was rendered warp inactive.

496
00:38:32,194 --> 00:38:34,863
I told you he was the best.

497
00:38:35,031 --> 00:38:37,742
I'd like to hear more about this.
Later.

498
00:38:37,909 --> 00:38:41,496
Right now, I have to
work something out with Mr Data.

499
00:38:41,664 --> 00:38:44,542
Premise. The Ferengi
want the Hathaway,

500
00:38:44,709 --> 00:38:46,294
believing it to be of value.

501
00:38:46,461 --> 00:38:49,381
We must remove it
from their field of interest.

502
00:38:49,548 --> 00:38:52,342
They will soon locate it
after a two-second warp.

503
00:38:52,510 --> 00:38:55,471
There is a way.
Number One, can you hear this?

504
00:38:55,638 --> 00:38:57,181
Yes, sir. We're all here.

505
00:38:57,349 --> 00:38:59,601
Can you pull a rabbit
out of your hat?

506
00:38:59,768 --> 00:39:02,437
- Mr Data?
- On the Captain's command,

507
00:39:02,563 --> 00:39:06,359
we will fire four photon torpedoes
at the Hathaway.

508
00:39:06,526 --> 00:39:11,031
One millisecond later, the computer
will trigger your warp jump.

509
00:39:11,199 --> 00:39:15,495
I hate this plan. We're not even sure
our warp jump will work.

510
00:39:15,662 --> 00:39:18,039
If the warp engines
fail to function,

511
00:39:18,207 --> 00:39:21,001
the result could be unfortunate.

512
00:39:21,169 --> 00:39:23,004
Very unfortunate.

513
00:39:23,171 --> 00:39:25,173
We will be dead.

514
00:39:25,340 --> 00:39:27,217
Capt Riker,

515
00:39:27,385 --> 00:39:29,303
I cannot order you to do this.

516
00:39:29,470 --> 00:39:32,640
What the hell?
Nobody said life was safe.

517
00:39:32,808 --> 00:39:34,184
The advantage is,

518
00:39:34,351 --> 00:39:38,856
that it will appear from the
Kreechta's perspective as though...

519
00:39:40,066 --> 00:39:43,111
As though you were destroyed
in the explosion.

520
00:39:43,279 --> 00:39:46,407
That will deceive them
only for a few minutes.

521
00:39:46,574 --> 00:39:48,868
Their sensors will soon locate us.

522
00:39:49,035 --> 00:39:53,164
We only need a few minutes.
You'll prepare a surprise for them.

523
00:39:53,332 --> 00:39:54,583
Then we're agreed.

524
00:39:56,252 --> 00:39:58,212
On my mark, four minutes.

525
00:39:58,672 --> 00:40:02,760
Remember, if the implementation
is off by one millisecond,

526
00:40:02,927 --> 00:40:04,804
the Hathaway will not survive.

527
00:40:04,971 --> 00:40:08,934
That's the one thing
we're all absolutely sure about.

528
00:40:17,194 --> 00:40:18,946
Are we ready, Number One?

529
00:40:19,113 --> 00:40:21,532
- Ready, Captain.
- Ready, Captain.

530
00:40:22,534 --> 00:40:26,663
Good luck to both of you. Bractor.

531
00:40:32,003 --> 00:40:36,633
- I will wait no longer, Picard.
- The answer is no.

532
00:40:36,801 --> 00:40:40,346
Your actions have been criminal.
You will not profit by them.

533
00:40:40,847 --> 00:40:45,060
- You are a fool!
- How can you stop us?

534
00:40:45,227 --> 00:40:48,147
You believe the Hathaway has value?

535
00:40:48,314 --> 00:40:51,275
We deny you your prize. Fire!

536
00:40:57,784 --> 00:41:02,748
Destroy your own, rather than
suffer the ignominy of defeat?

537
00:41:02,915 --> 00:41:06,586
I did not think the Federation
had such iron.

538
00:41:06,753 --> 00:41:10,465
You had no claim on that vessel.
It was ours to destroy.

539
00:41:10,632 --> 00:41:14,595
As you are ours to destroy.

540
00:41:15,305 --> 00:41:17,015
You can try.

541
00:41:18,058 --> 00:41:20,727
Enterprise targeted, Leader!

542
00:41:20,895 --> 00:41:24,732
Leader, there is
another Federation ship closing.

543
00:41:24,899 --> 00:41:28,736
- A starship!
- Maximum shields!

544
00:41:28,904 --> 00:41:33,325
We have been outmanoeuvred.
Retreat.

545
00:41:36,205 --> 00:41:39,876
Our sensors show
no Federation starship nearby.

546
00:41:40,042 --> 00:41:43,087
Of course not.
That was Klingon guile.

547
00:41:43,255 --> 00:41:46,383
You made it, Number One.
Smooth ride?

548
00:41:46,550 --> 00:41:49,052
Well, it certainly was different.

549
00:41:49,220 --> 00:41:53,016
- We'll lock on and pick you up.
- With pleasure, Captain.

550
00:41:59,649 --> 00:42:06,573
I must admit, your Cmdr Riker
acquitted himself quite admirably.

551
00:42:08,618 --> 00:42:11,204
And so, Captain, have you.

552
00:42:12,623 --> 00:42:17,295
My report to Starfleet
will be most favourable.

553
00:42:17,462 --> 00:42:19,047
Thank you.

554
00:42:20,966 --> 00:42:25,346
Initiate recovery procedures.
Continue repairs.

555
00:42:25,513 --> 00:42:28,516
Plot a course
for the nearest starbase.

556
00:42:31,771 --> 00:42:33,648
Captain's log, supplemental.

557
00:42:33,815 --> 00:42:37,611
With the transporter repaired
and my crew safely aboard,

558
00:42:37,778 --> 00:42:41,741
we have officially ended
our Starfleet battle simulation.

559
00:43:26,795 --> 00:43:28,755
Why have you suspended the game?

560
00:43:28,922 --> 00:43:33,761
Because this is not a rematch!
You have made a mockery of me.

561
00:43:37,265 --> 00:43:40,810
- Data, you beat him!
- No, sir. It is a stalemate.

562
00:43:40,978 --> 00:43:43,188
No game has ever gone this high.

563
00:43:43,356 --> 00:43:47,736
- What did you do?
- I simply altered my premise.

564
00:43:47,903 --> 00:43:51,866
Working under the assumption
that Kolrami wanted to win,

565
00:43:52,033 --> 00:43:54,702
he expected me
to play for the same goal.

566
00:43:54,870 --> 00:43:56,121
You didn't.

567
00:43:56,288 --> 00:43:59,959
No. I was playing
for a standoff. A draw.

568
00:44:00,126 --> 00:44:02,837
While Kolrami
was dedicated to winning,

569
00:44:03,004 --> 00:44:07,050
I passed up obvious avenues of
advancement to settle for a balance.

570
00:44:07,218 --> 00:44:10,555
Theoretically,
I could challenge him indefinitely.

571
00:44:10,722 --> 00:44:12,599
Then you have beaten him.

572
00:44:13,308 --> 00:44:15,143
It is a matter of perspective.

573
00:44:15,311 --> 00:44:17,897
In the strictest sense,
I did not win.

574
00:44:18,064 --> 00:44:19,649
Data!

575
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,071
- I busted him up.
- Yes!

576
00:44:25,305 --> 00:45:25,418
