1
00:00:03,169 --> 00:00:06,138
I don't see why we have
to do this every year.

2
00:00:06,139 --> 00:00:09,139
I thought that last year
the teachers had agreed

3
00:00:09,275 --> 00:00:11,543
that they wouldn't
do this anymore.

4
00:00:11,544 --> 00:00:13,012
"Captain Picard Day"

5
00:00:13,013 --> 00:00:16,013
is one of the children's
favorite school activities.

6
00:00:16,349 --> 00:00:18,484
They look forward
to it all year.

7
00:00:18,485 --> 00:00:20,252
Why does it have to be me?

8
00:00:20,253 --> 00:00:23,253
Because you're the Captain
and they look up to you.

9
00:00:23,723 --> 00:00:25,758
You're a role model for them.

10
00:00:25,759 --> 00:00:26,992
Well...

11
00:00:26,993 --> 00:00:27,993
they seem to have

12
00:00:27,994 --> 00:00:30,062
a somewhat exaggerated
impression of me.

13
00:00:30,063 --> 00:00:31,830
I don't know.

14
00:00:31,831 --> 00:00:33,632
I think the resemblance
is rather striking.

15
00:00:33,633 --> 00:00:36,633
Wouldn't you agree, Number One?

16
00:00:36,803 --> 00:00:39,271
Isn't there something
else you have to do?

17
00:00:39,272 --> 00:00:42,272
I'll be on the Bridge.

18
00:00:43,743 --> 00:00:46,743
Will.

19
00:00:53,686 --> 00:00:56,488
The finalists will be
here in half an hour.

20
00:00:56,489 --> 00:00:59,489
You have to pick a first,
second and third place

21
00:00:59,559 --> 00:01:01,360
and four honorable mentions.

22
00:01:01,361 --> 00:01:02,795
Worf to Captain.

23
00:01:02,796 --> 00:01:05,731
Incoming transmission
from Admiral Blackwell.

24
00:01:05,732 --> 00:01:07,399
It is coded priority one.

25
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,234
Put it through, Mr. Worf.

26
00:01:09,235 --> 00:01:12,235
Excuse me, Counselor.

27
00:01:16,876 --> 00:01:17,976
Yes, Admiral?

28
00:01:17,977 --> 00:01:20,579
Captain, what is your status?

29
00:01:20,580 --> 00:01:23,182
We are conducting
energy output studies

30
00:01:23,183 --> 00:01:24,783
of the Merkoria Quasar.

31
00:01:24,784 --> 00:01:26,351
All systems normal.

32
00:01:26,352 --> 00:01:28,387
The ship is fully operational.

33
00:01:28,388 --> 00:01:31,388
Good. I'm postponing
the quasar study for the moment.

34
00:01:32,192 --> 00:01:35,192
The Enterprise is to rendezvous
with the Starship Crazy Horse

35
00:01:36,429 --> 00:01:39,264
in Sector 1607 immediately.

36
00:01:39,265 --> 00:01:42,265
You're authorized to exceed
warp speed limitations

37
00:01:42,735 --> 00:01:45,137
for the duration
of this assignment.

38
00:01:45,138 --> 00:01:47,806
I understand.
What is our assignment?

39
00:01:47,807 --> 00:01:50,807
I prefer not to discuss it
over subspace channels.

40
00:01:50,844 --> 00:01:53,212
The Crazy Horse
will be carrying someone

41
00:01:53,213 --> 00:01:55,147
from Starfleet Intelligence.

42
00:01:55,148 --> 00:01:57,483
He'll brief you when he arrives.

43
00:01:57,484 --> 00:01:58,984
Very well.

44
00:01:58,985 --> 00:02:01,720
"Captain Picard Day"?

45
00:02:01,721 --> 00:02:04,656
Oh, uh...

46
00:02:04,657 --> 00:02:07,657
yes, it's, uh...
it's for the children.

47
00:02:08,928 --> 00:02:11,530
I'm a... I'm a role model.

48
00:02:11,531 --> 00:02:13,565
I'm sure you are.

49
00:02:13,566 --> 00:02:16,566
Starfleet out.

50
00:02:24,077 --> 00:02:26,178
So who won the contest?

51
00:02:26,179 --> 00:02:28,614
Oh. Paul Menegay,
a seven year old.

52
00:02:28,615 --> 00:02:31,615
He did a most interesting
clay sculpture of my head.

53
00:02:32,085 --> 00:02:35,020
Was that the orange one
with the lumpy skin?

54
00:02:35,021 --> 00:02:36,355
- Yes.
- Mm-hmm.

55
00:02:36,356 --> 00:02:38,724
Oh, you'll be interested
to know that I've arranged

56
00:02:38,725 --> 00:02:40,559
for a "Commander Riker Day"
next month.

57
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,628
I'm even considering
making an entry myself.

58
00:02:42,629 --> 00:02:44,196
Great.

59
00:02:44,197 --> 00:02:45,531
Energize.

60
00:02:45,532 --> 00:02:48,532
Aye, sir.

61
00:02:51,938 --> 00:02:53,572
Will!

62
00:02:53,573 --> 00:02:56,573
I'll bet you never thought
you'd see me again.

63
00:02:56,809 --> 00:02:58,510
It's good to see you, sir.

64
00:02:58,511 --> 00:03:00,112
Yeah, sure it is.

65
00:03:00,113 --> 00:03:02,381
You look like you're
about to faint.

66
00:03:02,382 --> 00:03:05,382
No. It's... it's just
that it's been a long time.

67
00:03:05,518 --> 00:03:07,519
Uh, Captain Jean-Luc Picard

68
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,454
Admiral Eric Pressman.

69
00:03:09,455 --> 00:03:11,056
Pressman... yes, of course.

70
00:03:11,057 --> 00:03:13,725
You were Will's first
commanding officer.

71
00:03:13,726 --> 00:03:15,294
On the... the Pegasus.

72
00:03:15,295 --> 00:03:16,828
That's right.

73
00:03:16,829 --> 00:03:19,698
As a matter of fact, the Pegasus
is the reason I'm here.

74
00:03:19,699 --> 00:03:21,266
Sir?

75
00:03:21,267 --> 00:03:23,602
She's still out there, Will

76
00:03:23,603 --> 00:03:26,603
and the Romulans have found her.

77

Watch Movies, Series & LiveTV

78
00:03:55,668 --> 00:03:58,668
Space, the final frontier.

79
00:04:00,106 --> 00:04:03,106
These are the voyages
of the Starship Enterprise.

80
00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:05,911
Its continuing mission...

81
00:04:05,912 --> 00:04:08,912
to explore strange new worlds

82
00:04:09,882 --> 00:04:12,882
to seek out new life
and new civilizations

83
00:04:14,354 --> 00:04:17,354
to boldly go
where no one has gone before.

84
00:05:23,489 --> 00:05:25,190
As you know,
the Starship Pegasus

85
00:05:25,191 --> 00:05:27,359
was lost in this sector
some 12 years ago

86
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:28,894
along with most of her crew.

87
00:05:28,895 --> 00:05:29,895
I was her Captain

88
00:05:29,896 --> 00:05:31,596
and Commander Riker
here was my helmsman.

89
00:05:31,597 --> 00:05:32,931
I remember hearing about it.

90
00:05:32,932 --> 00:05:34,032
The ship was destroyed

91
00:05:34,033 --> 00:05:36,301
by a warp core breach,
as I recall.

92
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:38,503
The Captain and I
along with seven others

93
00:05:38,504 --> 00:05:40,839
managed to make it
to the escape pod

94
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:43,041
before the breach
became critical.

95
00:05:43,042 --> 00:05:45,243
From space, we observed
what appeared to be

96
00:05:45,244 --> 00:05:48,146
a matter/antimatter explosion
which vaporized the ship.

97
00:05:48,147 --> 00:05:49,681
No wreckage was found

98
00:05:49,682 --> 00:05:52,682
so Starfleet officially
declared the ship destroyed.

99
00:05:52,819 --> 00:05:55,819
However,
all that changed three days ago.

100
00:05:56,255 --> 00:05:58,824
Starfleet Intelligence
has an operative

101
00:05:58,825 --> 00:06:00,726
in Romulan High Command.

102
00:06:00,727 --> 00:06:03,395
He sent us a message
that a Romulan warbird

103
00:06:03,396 --> 00:06:06,396
had located a piece of debris
in the Devolin system

104
00:06:06,532 --> 00:06:09,267
which was positively identified
as being from the Pegasus.

105
00:06:09,268 --> 00:06:10,702
The warbird was then ordered

106
00:06:10,703 --> 00:06:13,703
to locate the rest of the ship
if possible and retrieve it.

107
00:06:13,740 --> 00:06:15,207
What would the Romulans want

108
00:06:15,208 --> 00:06:17,242
with pieces
of a 12-year-old starship?

109
00:06:17,243 --> 00:06:18,543
The Pegasus was a prototype...

110
00:06:18,544 --> 00:06:20,345
experimental engine,
new weapons systems.

111
00:06:20,346 --> 00:06:21,613
In fact, some of our designs

112
00:06:21,614 --> 00:06:23,682
were used in constructing
the Enterprise.

113
00:06:23,683 --> 00:06:25,183
There are a lot
of things on board

114
00:06:25,184 --> 00:06:28,184
the Romulans would love
to get their hands on.

115
00:06:28,221 --> 00:06:29,788
What are our orders?

116
00:06:29,789 --> 00:06:31,623
To find the ship
before the Romulans do.

117
00:06:31,624 --> 00:06:33,925
Salvage it if possible,
destroy it if necessary.

118
00:06:33,926 --> 00:06:35,193
You command the Enterprise

119
00:06:35,194 --> 00:06:37,529
while I remain in command
of the overall mission.

120
00:06:37,530 --> 00:06:39,398
We'll need metallurgical
and chromographic specs

121
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:41,867
on the Pegasus in order to set
up the proper search parameters.

122
00:06:41,868 --> 00:06:44,736
I'll make the appropriate
information available to you.

123
00:06:44,737 --> 00:06:46,872
Very well.
Lay in a course

124
00:06:46,873 --> 00:06:48,507
for the Devolin system.

125
00:06:48,508 --> 00:06:51,508
Aye, sir.

126
00:06:58,718 --> 00:07:01,718
Captain, we are approaching
the Devolin system.

127
00:07:01,954 --> 00:07:03,455
Any sign of the Romulans?

128
00:07:03,456 --> 00:07:04,790
No, sir.

129
00:07:04,791 --> 00:07:05,924
Oh, they're out there.

130
00:07:05,925 --> 00:07:07,793
They're just waiting to see
what you're going to do.

131
00:07:07,794 --> 00:07:09,161
Mr. La Forge?

132
00:07:09,162 --> 00:07:11,062
The an awful lot
of ionizing radiation

133
00:07:11,063 --> 00:07:12,297
in this system, Captain.

134
00:07:12,298 --> 00:07:13,398
That and the amount
of sheer rock

135
00:07:13,399 --> 00:07:14,866
is going to slow down
our search a little.

136
00:07:14,867 --> 00:07:16,201
- How slow?
- I'd say at least...

137
00:07:16,202 --> 00:07:19,202
Sir, Romulan warbird
decloaking directly ahead.

138
00:07:22,175 --> 00:07:23,775
They are powering weapons.

139
00:07:23,776 --> 00:07:25,644
Shields up.
Red Alert.

140
00:07:25,645 --> 00:07:27,446
Prepare phasers.

141
00:07:27,447 --> 00:07:30,447
Sir, they are hailing us.

142
00:07:32,652 --> 00:07:34,719
On screen.

143
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,720
I am Commander Sirol
of the Romulan vessel Terix.

144
00:07:38,558 --> 00:07:41,558
To whom do I have
the honor of speaking?

145
00:07:41,727 --> 00:07:43,295
I am Captain Jean-Luc Picard

146
00:07:43,296 --> 00:07:45,397
of the Federation
Starship Enterprise.

147
00:07:45,398 --> 00:07:48,398
Captain Picard,
I've heard so much about you.

148
00:07:48,568 --> 00:07:51,036
A pleasure to make
your acquaintance.

149
00:07:51,037 --> 00:07:54,037
I hope our sudden appearance
didn't startle you.

150
00:07:54,307 --> 00:07:56,308
Not at all.

151
00:07:56,309 --> 00:07:58,910
But your unannounced appearance

152
00:07:58,911 --> 00:08:01,513
might have
unfortunate consequences.

153
00:08:01,514 --> 00:08:04,514
It would be an awful shame
if your ship were damaged

154
00:08:05,284 --> 00:08:07,552
due to some misunderstanding.

155
00:08:07,553 --> 00:08:10,553
I am touched by your concern
for my ship

156
00:08:10,790 --> 00:08:13,790
but I doubt we were ever
in any danger.

157
00:08:13,926 --> 00:08:16,926
May I ask what you are doing
in this system?

158
00:08:17,530 --> 00:08:20,198
I might ask you
the same question.

159
00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:23,199
We are conducting a survey
of gaseous anomalies.

160
00:08:23,336 --> 00:08:25,971
How interesting.

161
00:08:25,972 --> 00:08:27,572
So are we.

162
00:08:27,573 --> 00:08:30,041
Perhaps we could combine
our efforts

163
00:08:30,042 --> 00:08:31,943
and share our findings.

164
00:08:31,944 --> 00:08:34,446
I doubt our objectives
are compatible.

165
00:08:34,447 --> 00:08:36,715
Perhaps you're right.

166
00:08:36,716 --> 00:08:39,518
This has been
a most pleasant conversation

167
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:41,853
but we must return
to our research.

168
00:08:41,854 --> 00:08:44,854
Then I won't keep you.

169
00:08:46,025 --> 00:08:47,959
Sir, they are moving off

170
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,960
resuming their tachyon scans
of the system.

171
00:08:51,397 --> 00:08:52,931
Stand down Red Alert

172
00:08:52,932 --> 00:08:55,867
but keep tracking
their movement, Lieutenant.

173
00:08:55,868 --> 00:08:57,402
Aye, sir.

174
00:08:57,403 --> 00:08:59,638
Commander, how long
will it take us

175
00:08:59,639 --> 00:09:01,206
to search this system?

176
00:09:01,207 --> 00:09:02,774
At least seven days, sir.

177
00:09:02,775 --> 00:09:05,377
And the Romulans have
a two-day head start.

178
00:09:05,378 --> 00:09:07,012
Then let's get to it.

179
00:09:07,013 --> 00:09:08,480
Mr. Data?

180
00:09:08,481 --> 00:09:11,383
Initiating sensor sweep
of grid 01.

181
00:09:11,384 --> 00:09:14,085
So how long have
you had that beard?

182
00:09:14,086 --> 00:09:16,154
About four years.

183
00:09:16,155 --> 00:09:19,155
I got tired of hearing
how young I looked.

184
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,459
What was it that...

185
00:09:21,460 --> 00:09:24,296
Lieutenant Boylen
used to call you?

186
00:09:24,297 --> 00:09:27,297
"Ensign Baby Face."

187
00:09:27,466 --> 00:09:30,068
You never did have much
of a sense of humor.

188
00:09:30,069 --> 00:09:31,069
I like to think

189
00:09:31,070 --> 00:09:33,638
that I've lightened up
a little in my old age.

190
00:09:33,639 --> 00:09:34,639
Really?

191
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,474
I've been known
to tell a joke or two.

192
00:09:36,475 --> 00:09:37,676
Well, it's about time.

193
00:09:37,677 --> 00:09:39,978
You were always so
serious on the Pegasus.

194
00:09:39,979 --> 00:09:42,979
Well...

195
00:09:43,883 --> 00:09:46,883
We went through
some serious times.

196
00:09:48,187 --> 00:09:51,022
Do you really think we're going
to find the Pegasus again?

197
00:09:51,023 --> 00:09:53,792
I wouldn't have come all the way
out here if I didn't.

198
00:09:53,793 --> 00:09:55,627
What about the experiment?

199
00:09:55,628 --> 00:09:58,530
Do you think we're going
to find that, too?

200
00:09:58,531 --> 00:10:01,531
Maybe.

201
00:10:04,704 --> 00:10:07,539
You know, I think a lot
about what happened...

202
00:10:07,540 --> 00:10:09,641
especially on that last day.

203
00:10:09,642 --> 00:10:11,309
So do I.

204
00:10:11,310 --> 00:10:14,245
It's not the kind of thing
you just forget.

205
00:10:14,246 --> 00:10:17,246
Do you ever wonder
if we did the right thing?

206
00:10:17,650 --> 00:10:19,150
Never.

207
00:10:19,151 --> 00:10:20,619
What happened was
a tragedy, yes

208
00:10:20,620 --> 00:10:22,587
but it wasn't your fault
and it wasn't mine.

209
00:10:22,588 --> 00:10:25,090
What we were doing was for
the good of the Federation

210
00:10:25,091 --> 00:10:28,091
and we can't blame ourselves
if the others couldn't see that.

211
00:10:29,362 --> 00:10:30,829
I know, but...

212
00:10:30,830 --> 00:10:33,830
maybe we went about it
the wrong way.

213
00:10:35,167 --> 00:10:37,569
Well, this time
we may have a chance

214
00:10:37,570 --> 00:10:39,270
to do it the right way.

215
00:10:39,271 --> 00:10:41,206
If this mission is successful

216
00:10:41,207 --> 00:10:43,908
if we find the Pegasus
and the experiment

217
00:10:43,909 --> 00:10:46,909
we can finish what we started
12 years ago.

218
00:10:48,247 --> 00:10:49,914
You want to try again?

219
00:10:49,915 --> 00:10:51,349
It's not just me, Will.

220
00:10:51,350 --> 00:10:54,350
The Chief of Starfleet Security
has personally given me

221
00:10:55,354 --> 00:10:57,822
her assurance
of complete support.

222
00:10:57,823 --> 00:10:58,823
Admiral Ranar!

223
00:10:58,824 --> 00:11:01,326
How many other people
know about this?

224
00:11:01,327 --> 00:11:04,295
Not many, and it's up to us
to make sure it stays that way.

225
00:11:04,296 --> 00:11:06,865
Ranar has given me
written orders for you.

226
00:11:06,866 --> 00:11:09,234
You'll find them coded
in the Enterprise computer.

227
00:11:09,235 --> 00:11:11,202
You've been instructed
not to reveal

228
00:11:11,203 --> 00:11:13,304
the true nature of our mission
to anyone else

229
00:11:13,305 --> 00:11:16,305
not even Captain Picard.

230
00:11:18,110 --> 00:11:19,911
Will... don't worry.

231
00:11:19,912 --> 00:11:22,912
It won't be like it was
12 years ago

232
00:11:23,115 --> 00:11:26,115
and this time,
no one's going to stop us.

233
00:11:40,065 --> 00:11:43,034
As a matter of fact,
I never met Will

234
00:11:43,035 --> 00:11:46,035
until he reported on board
at Farpoint Station.

235
00:11:47,939 --> 00:11:50,939
You chose your First Officer
without ever meeting him?

236
00:11:51,843 --> 00:11:54,078
I was looking
through the records

237
00:11:54,079 --> 00:11:55,913
of about 50 candidates

238
00:11:55,914 --> 00:11:58,914
and Will's was very much
like all the others...

239
00:11:59,017 --> 00:12:01,952
filled with lots
of dry statistics

240
00:12:01,953 --> 00:12:04,953
and glowing letters
of recommendation

241
00:12:05,123 --> 00:12:08,123
that tell you nothing.

242
00:12:09,294 --> 00:12:11,695
I was about to put it aside

243
00:12:11,696 --> 00:12:14,696
and look at another file,
and then...

244
00:12:15,033 --> 00:12:18,033
something caught my eye.

245
00:12:19,104 --> 00:12:21,505
There was an incident
on Altair III

246
00:12:21,506 --> 00:12:24,008
when Will was First
Officer of the Hood.

247
00:12:24,009 --> 00:12:26,744
He refused to let
Captain DeSoto beam down

248
00:12:26,745 --> 00:12:28,145
during a crisis.

249
00:12:28,146 --> 00:12:31,146
He disobeyed a direct order

250
00:12:31,516 --> 00:12:34,285
and he risked
a general court-martial

251
00:12:34,286 --> 00:12:36,854
because he thought he was right.

252
00:12:36,855 --> 00:12:39,855
And when I read that,
I knew that I had found

253
00:12:40,392 --> 00:12:43,392
my Number One.

254
00:12:44,563 --> 00:12:47,563
You wanted someone
with a history of disobedience?

255
00:12:47,833 --> 00:12:50,434
I wanted someone
who would stand up to me

256
00:12:50,435 --> 00:12:52,002
someone who was more concerned

257
00:12:52,003 --> 00:12:54,972
with the safety of the ship
and accomplishing the mission

258
00:12:54,973 --> 00:12:57,174
than with how it might look
on his record.

259
00:12:57,175 --> 00:12:59,810
To me, that's one of the marks
of a good officer.

260
00:12:59,811 --> 00:13:02,811
Frankly, I've always felt
it was more important

261
00:13:03,014 --> 00:13:05,483
for an officer
to trust his Captain's judgment.

262
00:13:05,484 --> 00:13:07,918
In a crisis, there's no time
for explanations.

263
00:13:07,919 --> 00:13:10,087
Orders have to be
obeyed without question

264
00:13:10,088 --> 00:13:11,922
or lives may be lost.

265
00:13:11,923 --> 00:13:14,923
I am aware of that, Admiral.

266
00:13:15,694 --> 00:13:18,694
Of course you are.

267
00:13:19,731 --> 00:13:22,266
I guess this mission
has brought up

268
00:13:22,267 --> 00:13:24,201
some old ghosts for me.

269
00:13:24,202 --> 00:13:26,904
You know what it's like
to lose a ship?

270
00:13:26,905 --> 00:13:28,005
You're always wondering

271
00:13:28,006 --> 00:13:30,040
if there's something else
you should have done.

272
00:13:30,041 --> 00:13:33,041
Something you missed.

273
00:13:34,212 --> 00:13:37,212
Admiral, the record regarding
the loss of the Pegasus is...

274
00:13:38,049 --> 00:13:39,717
a bit vague

275
00:13:39,718 --> 00:13:42,718
from the moment
just before you abandoned ship.

276
00:13:42,754 --> 00:13:44,922
Is there anything
that you can add

277
00:13:44,923 --> 00:13:47,923
to the official account?

278
00:13:49,427 --> 00:13:52,427
I'm afraid not.

279
00:13:53,598 --> 00:13:55,599
But I can tell you this...

280
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,868
12 years ago,
I needed an officer

281
00:13:57,869 --> 00:14:00,070
that I could count on
in a crisis

282
00:14:00,071 --> 00:14:01,472
someone who would support

283
00:14:01,473 --> 00:14:03,541
and obey my decisions
without question

284
00:14:03,542 --> 00:14:05,976
someone who was willing
to trust my judgment

285
00:14:05,977 --> 00:14:08,212
and that someone was Will Riker.

286
00:14:08,213 --> 00:14:11,213
Without his loyalty,
none of us would have survived.

287
00:14:17,189 --> 00:14:18,689
What's wrong?

288
00:14:18,690 --> 00:14:20,357
I think I busted a rib.

289
00:14:20,358 --> 00:14:21,525
Excuse me.

290
00:14:21,526 --> 00:14:22,860
What were you doing?

291
00:14:22,861 --> 00:14:24,728
I was doing bat'leth
moves with Mr. Worf.

292
00:14:24,729 --> 00:14:27,064
I jabbed when I
should have blocked.

293
00:14:27,065 --> 00:14:29,066
He caught me right in the side.

294
00:14:29,067 --> 00:14:31,068
It's a good thing
we were using the sticks

295
00:14:31,069 --> 00:14:32,803
instead of the real blades.

296
00:14:32,804 --> 00:14:34,371
It's broken, all right.

297
00:14:34,372 --> 00:14:37,372
Give him ten cc's of terakine
for the pain.

298
00:14:37,642 --> 00:14:39,176
I can't believe
how stupid I was.

299
00:14:39,177 --> 00:14:40,311
You both must have gotten

300
00:14:40,312 --> 00:14:41,912
a little carried away,
that's all.

301
00:14:41,913 --> 00:14:43,380
No, it was my fault.

302
00:14:43,381 --> 00:14:45,849
I got distracted
at a crucial moment.

303
00:14:45,850 --> 00:14:47,551
It can happen to anyone.

304
00:14:47,552 --> 00:14:50,054
I knew what I was supposed
to do and I didn't do it.

305
00:14:50,055 --> 00:14:52,189
If those had been real bat'leths

306
00:14:52,190 --> 00:14:53,958
I might be dead right now.

307
00:14:53,959 --> 00:14:56,594
There, all better.

308
00:14:56,595 --> 00:14:58,262
Will, it's all right.

309
00:14:58,263 --> 00:15:00,297
You made a mistake.
No harm done.

310
00:15:00,298 --> 00:15:03,067
You'll be better next time.

311
00:15:03,068 --> 00:15:06,068
Yeah. Maybe.

312
00:15:12,344 --> 00:15:14,445
Scan of grid 157 is complete.

313
00:15:14,446 --> 00:15:17,446
I am moving to grid 158.

314
00:15:17,449 --> 00:15:20,449
The Romulan warship is
still searching grid 270.

315
00:15:20,685 --> 00:15:23,087
They're sure spending
a lot of time over there.

316
00:15:23,088 --> 00:15:24,588
I wonder if they?

317
00:15:24,589 --> 00:15:27,589
Commander, I think we might
have just struck pay dirt.

318
00:15:30,795 --> 00:15:33,264
There's a subspace
resonance signature

319
00:15:33,265 --> 00:15:34,932
coming from that asteroid.

320
00:15:34,933 --> 00:15:36,734
From the frequency variances

321
00:15:36,735 --> 00:15:39,735
it looks like the pattern
of a Federation warp core.

322
00:15:39,871 --> 00:15:41,705
Captain Picard to the Bridge.

323
00:15:41,706 --> 00:15:44,706
Take us to within ten kilometers
of asteroid gamma 601.

324
00:15:48,580 --> 00:15:51,215
Geordi's found something.

325
00:15:51,216 --> 00:15:53,717
There's a subspace
resonance signature

326
00:15:53,718 --> 00:15:55,452
coming from that asteroid.

327
00:15:55,453 --> 00:15:57,855
It could be the warp core
of the Pegasus.

328
00:15:57,856 --> 00:15:59,490
I think he's right.

329
00:15:59,491 --> 00:16:02,326
I recognize
some of the variance patterns.

330
00:16:02,327 --> 00:16:05,296
Put the asteroid
on the main viewscreen.

331
00:16:05,297 --> 00:16:08,297
I have confirmed
Geordi's readings.

332
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,634
The resonance signature
is originating

333
00:16:10,635 --> 00:16:12,870
from somewhere beneath
the asteroid's surface.

334
00:16:12,871 --> 00:16:15,572
Beneath the surface?
How is that possible?

335
00:16:15,573 --> 00:16:17,808
The asteroid contains
several deep chasms

336
00:16:17,809 --> 00:16:20,144
large enough
for a starship to enter.

337
00:16:20,145 --> 00:16:21,979
It is possible
the Pegasus drifted

338
00:16:21,980 --> 00:16:24,014
into the asteroid's
gravitational field

339
00:16:24,015 --> 00:16:26,383
and was pulled down
into one of the fissures.

340
00:16:26,384 --> 00:16:29,286
Sir, the Romulan warbird
has altered course once again.

341
00:16:29,287 --> 00:16:32,287
They are heading
toward our position.

342
00:16:32,490 --> 00:16:33,590
They probably want to see

343
00:16:33,591 --> 00:16:35,225
what we're so interested
in over here.

344
00:16:35,226 --> 00:16:37,227
Mr. Data, how long will it take

345
00:16:37,228 --> 00:16:39,830
to determine the location
of the Pegasus?

346
00:16:39,831 --> 00:16:41,732
At least another six hours, sir.

347
00:16:41,733 --> 00:16:42,900
That's too long.

348
00:16:42,901 --> 00:16:45,035
If the Romulans start
searching the asteroid

349
00:16:45,036 --> 00:16:46,904
they could find the ship
before we do.

350
00:16:46,905 --> 00:16:49,206
I recommend we destroy
the asteroid.

351
00:16:49,207 --> 00:16:51,542
It would take most
of our photon torpedoes

352
00:16:51,543 --> 00:16:53,777
but it would preclude
any possibility

353
00:16:53,778 --> 00:16:56,380
of the Pegasus falling
into Romulan hands.

354
00:16:56,381 --> 00:16:58,916
Our top priority is to salvage
the ship, Commander.

355
00:16:58,917 --> 00:17:01,518
I'll consider destroying
it only as a last resort.

356
00:17:01,519 --> 00:17:04,321
Yes, sir.

357
00:17:04,322 --> 00:17:05,522
Captain...

358
00:17:05,523 --> 00:17:08,025
could you give me
a third alternative?

359
00:17:08,026 --> 00:17:10,160
Mr. Data, would it be possible

360
00:17:10,161 --> 00:17:12,463
to saturate the asteroid
with verteron particles?

361
00:17:12,464 --> 00:17:14,665
That would mask
the resonance signature

362
00:17:14,666 --> 00:17:16,767
and prevent the Romulans
from detecting it.

363
00:17:16,768 --> 00:17:18,669
In order for the deception
to succeed

364
00:17:18,670 --> 00:17:21,605
it would have to appear
to be a natural phenomenon.

365
00:17:21,606 --> 00:17:24,541
Verteron particles
are artificial in nature.

366
00:17:24,542 --> 00:17:26,410
Wait a minute.
We can blanket the asteroid

367
00:17:26,411 --> 00:17:28,145
with high levels
of ionizing radiation.

368
00:17:28,146 --> 00:17:30,381
There's so much of it
in the system already

369
00:17:30,382 --> 00:17:32,416
the Romulans won't know
the difference.

370
00:17:32,417 --> 00:17:33,751
Mr. Data?

371
00:17:33,752 --> 00:17:36,752
Theoretically, sir,
it should work.

372
00:17:37,422 --> 00:17:39,323
If we do this,
we have to do it fast.

373
00:17:39,324 --> 00:17:41,225
The Romulans will be
within sensor range

374
00:17:41,226 --> 00:17:42,326
in less than a minute.

375
00:17:42,327 --> 00:17:44,228
Make it so, Mr. Data.

376
00:17:44,229 --> 00:17:45,229
Aye, sir.

377
00:17:45,230 --> 00:17:47,097
Initiating ionization
field pulse.

378
00:17:47,098 --> 00:17:49,900
When he's finished,
we'll have to move away

379
00:17:49,901 --> 00:17:52,069
and make it look as if we've
scanned the asteroid

380
00:17:52,070 --> 00:17:53,270
but haven't found anything.

381
00:17:53,271 --> 00:17:54,972
Lay in a course
for the next search grid.

382
00:17:54,973 --> 00:17:56,039
Stand by to engage.

383
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,509
If it works, the Romulans
won't find anything

384
00:17:58,510 --> 00:18:00,043
and we can return later.

385
00:18:00,044 --> 00:18:01,345
If it doesn't...

386
00:18:01,346 --> 00:18:02,346
If it doesn't work

387
00:18:02,347 --> 00:18:05,347
we'll have handed them
the Pegasus.

388
00:18:05,683 --> 00:18:07,618
Ionization pulse complete.

389
00:18:07,619 --> 00:18:09,920
Helm, one quarter impulse.

390
00:18:09,921 --> 00:18:12,921
Engage.

391
00:18:20,198 --> 00:18:23,198
The Romulans are initiating
a tachyon scan of the asteroid.

392
00:18:23,902 --> 00:18:26,902
They have switched
to their lateral sensor array.

393
00:18:27,038 --> 00:18:30,038
Beginning another scan.

394
00:18:30,542 --> 00:18:32,409
They're certainly
being thorough.

395
00:18:32,410 --> 00:18:35,410
The warbird has completed
its sensor sweep.

396
00:18:36,414 --> 00:18:38,482
If they found
the resonance signature

397
00:18:38,483 --> 00:18:41,483
they should be sending
away teams any second.

398
00:18:42,821 --> 00:18:45,821
They are moving out.

399
00:18:49,494 --> 00:18:51,529
Mr. Data, we must convince
the Romulans

400
00:18:51,530 --> 00:18:53,864
that we're still looking
for the Pegasus.

401
00:18:53,865 --> 00:18:56,000
I want you to continue
scanning this system.

402
00:18:56,001 --> 00:18:57,334
Aye, sir.

403
00:18:57,335 --> 00:19:00,137
I want to be back at this
asteroid at 0800 hours tomorrow.

404
00:19:00,138 --> 00:19:02,006
Plan your search
pattern accordingly.

405
00:19:02,007 --> 00:19:03,307
Aye, sir.

406
00:19:03,308 --> 00:19:06,143
Admiral, would you care
to join me for some late dinner?

407
00:19:06,144 --> 00:19:07,411
Please excuse me, Captain

408
00:19:07,412 --> 00:19:09,246
but I think I'd better
turn in early.

409
00:19:09,247 --> 00:19:12,247
You have the Bridge, Number One.

410
00:19:13,451 --> 00:19:16,020
Oh, and will you bring
the scan analysis

411
00:19:16,021 --> 00:19:18,455
to my quarters
when you're off watch?

412
00:19:18,456 --> 00:19:19,957
Aye, sir.

413
00:19:19,958 --> 00:19:22,159
Initiate search of grid 163.

414
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,761
Beginning sensor sweeps.

415
00:19:23,762 --> 00:19:26,762
Commander, I want to see you
in the Captain's ready room.

416
00:19:27,365 --> 00:19:29,300
Mr. Data, you have the Bridge.

417
00:19:29,301 --> 00:19:32,301
Aye, sir.

418
00:19:33,972 --> 00:19:36,373
What the hell is
the matter with you?

419
00:19:36,374 --> 00:19:39,374
Destroy the Pegasus before
we've even taken a look at it?

420
00:19:39,377 --> 00:19:41,812
I thought it was more important
that the Romulans...

421
00:19:41,813 --> 00:19:43,514
Well, you were wrong!

422
00:19:43,515 --> 00:19:44,615
We have a chance here

423
00:19:44,616 --> 00:19:47,051
to change the balance
of power in this quadrant

424
00:19:47,052 --> 00:19:48,586
but we can't very well do that

425
00:19:48,587 --> 00:19:50,654
if we destroy the Pegasus,
now, can we?

426
00:19:50,655 --> 00:19:53,655
No, sir.

427
00:19:57,295 --> 00:19:59,196
It hasn't been easy for you,
I'm sure

428
00:19:59,197 --> 00:20:01,999
keeping your Captain and friends
in the dark like this.

429
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,000
I haven't enjoyed it,
if that's what you mean.

430
00:20:05,170 --> 00:20:08,170
I hope you understand
that it's necessary.

431
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,240
I understand that you
think it's necessary.

432
00:20:14,679 --> 00:20:17,679
You have changed.

433
00:20:17,782 --> 00:20:20,782
Changed?

434
00:20:21,553 --> 00:20:24,553
Something the Captain
and I were talking about.

435
00:20:26,658 --> 00:20:28,592
To be honest, I'm glad to see

436
00:20:28,593 --> 00:20:30,761
this kind of change
in you, Will.

437
00:20:30,762 --> 00:20:32,963
State your opinion
and stand by it.

438
00:20:32,964 --> 00:20:35,099
It's a far cry
from the young man

439
00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:37,067
who used to sit at my helm

440
00:20:37,068 --> 00:20:39,803
and worry about pressing
the wrong button.

441
00:20:39,804 --> 00:20:42,539
A lot of things can change
in 12 years, Admiral.

442
00:20:42,540 --> 00:20:44,975
Yes, they can.

443
00:20:44,976 --> 00:20:47,278
But it's important
that a man changes

444
00:20:47,279 --> 00:20:49,079
the right things in his life...

445
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,080
not his sense of duty,
not his sense of loyalty.

446
00:20:53,218 --> 00:20:56,218
I'd like to think that I haven't
changed those things, sir.

447
00:20:56,254 --> 00:20:58,255
I would like to think that, too

448
00:20:58,256 --> 00:21:00,758
because those things
say more about a man

449
00:21:00,759 --> 00:21:03,759
than the rank on his collar
or the uniform he wears.

450
00:21:03,962 --> 00:21:06,962
They define him.

451
00:21:11,870 --> 00:21:14,538
12 years ago, a lot of older
and more seasoned officers

452
00:21:14,539 --> 00:21:16,307
turned away from their duty

453
00:21:16,308 --> 00:21:18,776
but you stood up
for what was right.

454
00:21:18,777 --> 00:21:21,712
I'm sorry, Will.

455
00:21:21,713 --> 00:21:24,713
I know the kind of man you are.

456
00:21:24,983 --> 00:21:27,983
I know that I can
count on you again.

457
00:21:37,729 --> 00:21:40,564
Come.

458
00:21:40,565 --> 00:21:43,565
The scan analysis you asked for.

459
00:21:43,635 --> 00:21:46,635
Thank you.

460
00:21:46,905 --> 00:21:48,739
Is there something else, sir?

461
00:21:48,740 --> 00:21:51,740
Yes, there is.

462
00:21:54,279 --> 00:21:57,279
"Judge Advocate General's
Report, Stardate 36764.

463
00:21:58,350 --> 00:22:01,350
"Subject: Inquiry into mutiny
aboard USS Pegasus.

464
00:22:02,354 --> 00:22:03,687
"Based on testimony

465
00:22:03,688 --> 00:22:05,923
"from Captain Pressman
and other surviving officers

466
00:22:05,924 --> 00:22:08,859
"the Judge Advocate believes
there is sufficient evidence

467
00:22:08,860 --> 00:22:11,729
"to conclude
that certain members of the crew

468
00:22:11,730 --> 00:22:14,730
"did mutiny against the Captain

469
00:22:15,900 --> 00:22:18,569
just prior to the destruction
of the Pegasus."

470
00:22:18,570 --> 00:22:19,903
Mutiny?

471
00:22:19,904 --> 00:22:22,239
On a Federation starship?

472
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,708
That's... shocking,
it's unthinkable.

473
00:22:24,709 --> 00:22:26,977
And yet you've never
mentioned it.

474
00:22:26,978 --> 00:22:29,079
No, sir.

475
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,080
You know, it wasn't easy
to get this report.

476
00:22:32,984 --> 00:22:35,984
I had to pull in
quite a few favors at Starfleet

477
00:22:37,288 --> 00:22:39,923
just to get a look at it.

478
00:22:39,924 --> 00:22:42,924
It seems that it was classified
by Starfleet Intelligence.

479
00:22:47,932 --> 00:22:50,033
So...

480
00:22:50,034 --> 00:22:53,034
not only was the Pegasus
carrying sensitive equipment

481
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,040
which must not be allowed
to fall into Romulan hands

482
00:22:59,477 --> 00:23:02,146
not only was there
a mysterious explosion

483
00:23:02,147 --> 00:23:05,147
which seemed to destroy
the ship, but didn't

484
00:23:05,250 --> 00:23:08,250
but it seems that there was
a mutiny on board.

485
00:23:08,253 --> 00:23:10,454
Now, I've read
the official report

486
00:23:10,455 --> 00:23:12,322
of the inquiry on that mutiny

487
00:23:12,323 --> 00:23:15,323
but I want to know
your version of what happened.

488
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,560
I was on the Bridge.

489
00:23:20,165 --> 00:23:23,165
The ship was at Yellow Alert.

490
00:23:24,502 --> 00:23:27,502
We were running some tests
on the engines.

491
00:23:27,672 --> 00:23:29,339
Something went wrong.

492
00:23:29,340 --> 00:23:32,340
There was an explosion
in Engineering.

493
00:23:32,544 --> 00:23:34,011
Heavy casualties.

494
00:23:34,012 --> 00:23:35,913
In the midst of this crisis

495
00:23:35,914 --> 00:23:37,948
the First Officer,
the Chief of Engineering

496
00:23:37,949 --> 00:23:39,283
and most of the Bridge crew

497
00:23:39,284 --> 00:23:40,918
mutinied
against Captain Pressman.

498
00:23:40,919 --> 00:23:42,352
Why?

499
00:23:42,353 --> 00:23:44,121
They thought he was jeopardizing
the ship.

500
00:23:44,122 --> 00:23:45,689
And you?

501
00:23:45,690 --> 00:23:48,690
I was seven months
out of the Academy

502
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,160
my head still ringing with words
like "duty" and "honor."

503
00:23:56,701 --> 00:23:58,735
When they turned on him

504
00:23:58,736 --> 00:24:01,736
I thought they were a bunch of
self-serving, disloyal officers

505
00:24:03,942 --> 00:24:06,942
so I grabbed a phaser
and I defended my Captain.

506
00:24:07,979 --> 00:24:10,979
Two or three others joined us,
but it was clear by then

507
00:24:11,816 --> 00:24:14,816
that the mutineers had
most of the crew behind them.

508
00:24:15,753 --> 00:24:18,422
We felt a need
to get off the ship.

509
00:24:18,423 --> 00:24:21,423
There was a running firefight
all the way to the escape pod.

510
00:24:23,761 --> 00:24:26,761
About five minutes
after we left the ship

511
00:24:27,065 --> 00:24:30,065
there was an explosion.

512
00:24:35,173 --> 00:24:37,674
"The Judge Advocate
also believes

513
00:24:37,675 --> 00:24:40,675
"that the surviving officers
are deliberately

514
00:24:40,712 --> 00:24:43,712
"withholding vital information
from this inquiry.

515
00:24:44,048 --> 00:24:46,783
Further investigation
is recommended."

516
00:24:46,784 --> 00:24:49,784
Will, there was
no further investigation.

517
00:24:49,787 --> 00:24:52,787
This report was classified,
and then it was quietly buried.

518
00:24:54,225 --> 00:24:55,893
Why?

519
00:24:55,894 --> 00:24:58,894
Sir, may I suggest
you take this up with Admiral...

520
00:24:58,930 --> 00:25:00,564
I'm taking this up
with you, Will!

521
00:25:00,565 --> 00:25:01,865
The Judge Advocate thought

522
00:25:01,866 --> 00:25:04,601
that you were participating
in a conspiracy

523
00:25:04,602 --> 00:25:06,069
to cover up the truth.

524
00:25:06,070 --> 00:25:09,070
Now, what the hell
is going on here, Will?

525
00:25:09,340 --> 00:25:12,340
Why did that mutiny happen?

526
00:25:12,844 --> 00:25:14,611
Why is Pressman so determined

527
00:25:14,612 --> 00:25:16,580
to find your ship
12 years later?

528
00:25:16,581 --> 00:25:18,348
I've said all I can.

529
00:25:18,349 --> 00:25:21,349
I'm under direct orders
from Admiral Pressman

530
00:25:22,387 --> 00:25:24,688
not to discuss this, sir.

531
00:25:24,689 --> 00:25:27,689
Very well.

532
00:25:34,165 --> 00:25:36,333
He's an Admiral.
I'm a Captain.

533
00:25:36,334 --> 00:25:38,969
I cannot force you
to disobey his orders.

534
00:25:38,970 --> 00:25:41,970
Therefore, I will have to remain
in the dark on this mission.

535
00:25:42,907 --> 00:25:44,408
And I will just have to trust

536
00:25:44,409 --> 00:25:46,743
that you will not let Pressman
put this ship

537
00:25:46,744 --> 00:25:47,844
at unnecessary risk.

538
00:25:47,845 --> 00:25:49,680
And If I find that that trust

539
00:25:49,681 --> 00:25:51,949
has been misplaced,
then I will have to reevaluate

540
00:25:51,950 --> 00:25:54,950
the command structure
of this ship.

541
00:25:55,687 --> 00:25:58,687
Dismissed.

542
00:26:08,666 --> 00:26:11,168
Captain, Starfleet places
the highest priority

543
00:26:11,169 --> 00:26:13,670
on the success of this mission.

544
00:26:13,671 --> 00:26:16,473
Your request for a delay
is denied.

545
00:26:16,474 --> 00:26:19,376
Margaret,
something's very wrong here.

546
00:26:19,377 --> 00:26:21,578
Do you know what's going on?

547
00:26:21,579 --> 00:26:22,713
I know that the Chief

548
00:26:22,714 --> 00:26:24,448
of Starfleet Intelligence
herself

549
00:26:24,449 --> 00:26:26,850
is watching this one, Jean-Luc.

550
00:26:26,851 --> 00:26:29,186
So, you'd be well advised
to follow Pressman's orders

551
00:26:29,187 --> 00:26:30,253
and leave it at that.

552
00:26:30,254 --> 00:26:31,989
Starfleet out.

553
00:26:31,990 --> 00:26:34,625
Worf to Captain Picard.

554
00:26:34,626 --> 00:26:37,626
We are approaching
asteroid gamma 601, sir.

555
00:26:38,663 --> 00:26:41,663
On my way.

556
00:26:46,170 --> 00:26:48,505
Mr. Worf,
where are the Romulans?

557
00:26:48,506 --> 00:26:51,506
They're out of sensor range
on the far side of the system.

558
00:26:52,176 --> 00:26:54,244
Take us to within 15 kilometers

559
00:26:54,245 --> 00:26:56,880
of the asteroid
and hold that position.

560
00:26:56,881 --> 00:26:58,348
Aye, sir.

561
00:26:58,349 --> 00:27:00,183
Mr. Data, report.

562
00:27:00,184 --> 00:27:01,451
For the past several hours

563
00:27:01,452 --> 00:27:03,220
I have been scanning the area

564
00:27:03,221 --> 00:27:05,756
where we detected the resonance
signature of the Pegasus.

565
00:27:05,757 --> 00:27:07,624
From the strength and polarity
of the signature

566
00:27:07,625 --> 00:27:10,027
it would appear that most of
the warp core is still intact.

567
00:27:10,028 --> 00:27:12,596
If we're lucky, the entire
engineering section

568
00:27:12,597 --> 00:27:13,764
could be down there.

569
00:27:13,765 --> 00:27:15,232
But how do we get to it?

570
00:27:15,233 --> 00:27:16,967
I wouldn't want to try
to transport

571
00:27:16,968 --> 00:27:18,502
through that much solid rock.

572
00:27:18,503 --> 00:27:19,970
Agreed.

573
00:27:19,971 --> 00:27:21,238
What about a shuttle?

574
00:27:21,239 --> 00:27:23,607
We could send it down
through one of those fissures.

575
00:27:23,608 --> 00:27:25,275
I would recommend
against it, sir.

576
00:27:25,276 --> 00:27:27,878
There may be gravimetric
or magnetic fluctuations

577
00:27:27,879 --> 00:27:29,046
inside the asteroid

578
00:27:29,047 --> 00:27:31,715
which would overpower
the engines of a shuttlecraft.

579
00:27:31,716 --> 00:27:34,716
Sounds like the best solution
is to take the Enterprise in.

580
00:27:37,655 --> 00:27:38,889
Into the asteroid?

581
00:27:38,890 --> 00:27:40,657
That's right.

582
00:27:40,658 --> 00:27:43,658
Put this fissure
on the main viewer.

583
00:27:45,263 --> 00:27:48,263
This chasm is large enough
for us to maneuver in.

584
00:27:48,366 --> 00:27:50,333
Besides, if we ever hope
to salvage the Pegasus

585
00:27:50,334 --> 00:27:51,968
we're going to need
a starship to do it.

586
00:27:51,969 --> 00:27:54,471
Mr. Data?

587
00:27:54,472 --> 00:27:57,307
It is theoretically possible,
sir, but I am unaware

588
00:27:57,308 --> 00:27:59,810
of any prior situations
where a starship

589
00:27:59,811 --> 00:28:02,479
was taken so deeply
inside a planetary body.

590
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,147
There may be
unforeseen difficulties.

591
00:28:04,148 --> 00:28:06,116
Admiral, I don't think
that we can risk...

592
00:28:06,117 --> 00:28:07,951
I've made my decision.

593
00:28:07,952 --> 00:28:10,952
Prepare to take
the Enterprise in, Captain.

594
00:28:11,756 --> 00:28:14,756
That's an order.

595
00:28:17,128 --> 00:28:20,128
Mr. Data, will you please note
in the Ship's Log

596
00:28:20,331 --> 00:28:23,331
that this action is being taken
over my explicit objection?

597
00:28:23,968 --> 00:28:26,968
It is so noted, sir.

598
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,208
Yellow Alert.

599
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:33,143
Shields up.
Inertial dampers at maximum.

600
00:28:33,144 --> 00:28:36,144
Ensign Gates,
plot a course into the chasm

601
00:28:36,347 --> 00:28:38,482
maneuvering thrusters only.

602
00:28:38,483 --> 00:28:40,484
Course plotted, sir.

603
00:28:40,485 --> 00:28:43,485
Take us in.

604
00:29:07,745 --> 00:29:10,745
We are now two kilometers
beneath the surface.

605
00:29:11,749 --> 00:29:14,150
Captain, we are
encountering shifts

606
00:29:14,151 --> 00:29:17,151
in the magnetic field density.

607
00:29:20,924 --> 00:29:23,924
Admiral, if this passage
narrows to less than 500 meters

608
00:29:24,294 --> 00:29:25,862
I will abort the mission.

609
00:29:25,863 --> 00:29:28,331
You can charge me with
insubordination if you wish

610
00:29:28,332 --> 00:29:30,767
but I'm not going
to risk the Enterprise

611
00:29:30,768 --> 00:29:33,069
for a salvage operation.

612
00:29:33,070 --> 00:29:34,203
Captain, I am reading

613
00:29:34,204 --> 00:29:37,204
a large resonance signature
directly ahead.

614
00:29:49,186 --> 00:29:51,187
Pegasus.

615
00:29:51,188 --> 00:29:52,955
What the hell happened?

616
00:29:52,956 --> 00:29:55,956
Sensors show the ship
is still intact.

617
00:29:56,627 --> 00:29:59,627
However, 65%% % of it is
contained within the asteroid.

618
00:29:59,963 --> 00:30:02,963
It looks as if half the ship
materialized inside solid rock.

619
00:30:04,635 --> 00:30:07,635
Yes, sir. I do not understand
how this could have happened.

620
00:30:08,639 --> 00:30:11,607
Let's keep the speculation
to a minimum.

621
00:30:11,608 --> 00:30:13,709
We have to begin
the salvage operation.

622
00:30:13,710 --> 00:30:15,745
The equipment we need
was in Main Engineering.

623
00:30:15,746 --> 00:30:17,580
Can you scan that section
of the Pegasus?

624
00:30:17,581 --> 00:30:20,316
The starboard bulkhead
of Main Engineering

625
00:30:20,317 --> 00:30:22,418
is contained
within the rock face

626
00:30:22,419 --> 00:30:25,388
but most of its compartment
is still intact.

627
00:30:25,389 --> 00:30:28,389
There is a hull breach
in that section.

628
00:30:28,625 --> 00:30:30,726
If we begin a power transfer

629
00:30:30,727 --> 00:30:33,229
can we restore
life-support systems

630
00:30:33,230 --> 00:30:34,730
to that compartment?

631
00:30:34,731 --> 00:30:36,232
I believe so, sir.

632
00:30:36,233 --> 00:30:38,401
The breach can be
temporarily sealed

633
00:30:38,402 --> 00:30:40,069
by extending our shields.

634
00:30:40,070 --> 00:30:41,070
See to it.

635
00:30:41,071 --> 00:30:42,638
Once you've restored
life-support

636
00:30:42,639 --> 00:30:43,673
Commander Riker and I

637
00:30:43,674 --> 00:30:45,308
will then beam directly
into Engineering.

638
00:30:45,309 --> 00:30:47,543
Admiral, I would like to send
down a complete away team.

639
00:30:47,544 --> 00:30:49,512
There's some very sensitive
equipment over there.

640
00:30:49,513 --> 00:30:52,513
I don't want
anyone else near it.

641
00:30:52,583 --> 00:30:55,583
Yes, sir.

642
00:31:16,373 --> 00:31:19,373
This room was open
to space for 12 years.

643
00:31:21,211 --> 00:31:24,211
The vacuum preserved everything.

644
00:31:45,035 --> 00:31:48,035
I wonder how many of the crew
are buried back there.

645
00:31:48,505 --> 00:31:51,505
We're not here
for a memorial service.

646
00:32:06,690 --> 00:32:09,690
It's still intact.

647
00:32:15,699 --> 00:32:17,166
What's the matter, Will?

648
00:32:17,167 --> 00:32:19,302
Don't you understand?
We found it!

649
00:32:19,303 --> 00:32:21,704
I know.

650
00:32:21,705 --> 00:32:24,540
I kept hoping
it wouldn't be here...

651
00:32:24,541 --> 00:32:26,876
that it had been destroyed...

652
00:32:26,877 --> 00:32:29,877
that it was buried
in that rock back there.

653
00:32:30,314 --> 00:32:32,181
What the hell is that
supposed to mean?

654
00:32:32,182 --> 00:32:35,182
It means that I can't
put this off any longer.

655
00:32:35,519 --> 00:32:38,519
Right up to this moment,
I had the luxury of time

656
00:32:39,122 --> 00:32:41,691
but now I've got
to make a choice.

657
00:32:41,692 --> 00:32:44,692
And, Admiral, I'm afraid
my choice is this...

658
00:32:46,730 --> 00:32:49,730
I can't let you start
these experiments again.

659
00:32:50,567 --> 00:32:53,567
It was wrong 12 years ago,
and it is wrong today.

660
00:32:54,671 --> 00:32:56,839
You had better reconsider
that position, Commander.

661
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:58,174
We have a mission to accomplish

662
00:32:58,175 --> 00:32:59,575
and you're going
to carry it out.

663
00:32:59,576 --> 00:33:02,576
That's all you care about...

664
00:33:03,146 --> 00:33:05,314
starting these
damn experiments again.

665
00:33:05,315 --> 00:33:07,917
Look around... this room
is filled with dead bodies.

666
00:33:07,918 --> 00:33:10,918
These people died
because of this thing.

667
00:33:11,521 --> 00:33:14,257
Keep your self-righteous
comments to yourself.

668
00:33:14,258 --> 00:33:16,659
I knew most of these people
a lot longer than you did.

669
00:33:16,660 --> 00:33:18,928
Yes, it was tragic,
but it was their fault.

670
00:33:18,929 --> 00:33:20,263
You don't know that.

671
00:33:20,264 --> 00:33:23,065
Neither of us knows
what happened after we left.

672
00:33:23,066 --> 00:33:24,734
Well, it's not hard to guess.

673
00:33:24,735 --> 00:33:26,435
They tried to shut down
an experiment

674
00:33:26,436 --> 00:33:27,536
they didn't understand.

675
00:33:27,537 --> 00:33:29,438
Something went wrong,
and it killed them.

676
00:33:29,439 --> 00:33:32,439
No, we killed them.

677
00:33:32,609 --> 00:33:35,278
Now, that doesn't sound like
the same man

678
00:33:35,279 --> 00:33:36,879
who grabbed a phaser

679
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,515
and defended his Captain
12 years ago.

680
00:33:39,516 --> 00:33:42,018
I've had 12 years
to think about it.

681
00:33:42,019 --> 00:33:44,253
And if I had it
to do over again

682
00:33:44,254 --> 00:33:46,489
I would have grabbed the phaser

683
00:33:46,490 --> 00:33:49,292
and pointed it at you,
instead of them.

684
00:33:49,293 --> 00:33:50,860
So, on reflection

685
00:33:50,861 --> 00:33:53,861
you'd rather be a traitor
than a hero.

686
00:33:54,364 --> 00:33:56,599
I wasn't a hero,
and neither were you.

687
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,600
What you did was wrong,
and I was wrong to support you

688
00:34:00,137 --> 00:34:02,638
but I was too young
and too stupid to realize it.

689
00:34:02,639 --> 00:34:04,674
You were the Captain,
I was the Ensign.

690
00:34:04,675 --> 00:34:06,175
I was just following orders.

691
00:34:06,176 --> 00:34:08,444
And if you hadn't,
you'd be dead right now

692
00:34:08,445 --> 00:34:10,246
along with all the rest of them.

693
00:34:10,247 --> 00:34:13,247
Dead because you listened
to a bunch of mutinous cowards

694
00:34:13,317 --> 00:34:16,317
who were too blinded by fear
to see what I was trying to do.

695
00:34:16,553 --> 00:34:18,721
They were brave enough
to risk their lives

696
00:34:18,722 --> 00:34:20,556
to stop you
from violating a treaty

697
00:34:20,557 --> 00:34:23,092
the Federation signed
in good faith.

698
00:34:23,093 --> 00:34:25,961
That treaty has bound our hands
and given the Romulans

699
00:34:25,962 --> 00:34:28,264
a tactical advantage
for the last 60 years.

700
00:34:28,265 --> 00:34:31,265
I was simply trying
to level the playing field.

701
00:34:31,401 --> 00:34:33,869
And now you want
to try it again.

702
00:34:33,870 --> 00:34:36,870
How many people will die
this time... 50, 100, 1,000?

703
00:34:38,241 --> 00:34:40,409
All right, you don't want
to help me, fine.

704
00:34:40,410 --> 00:34:42,244
But you are still
under my direct orders

705
00:34:42,245 --> 00:34:43,679
not to talk about what you know

706
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,248
and I expect you to follow
those orders to the letter.

707
00:34:46,249 --> 00:34:47,583
I made you, Mister

708
00:34:47,584 --> 00:34:49,151
and I can break you
just as easily.

709
00:34:49,152 --> 00:34:52,152
Do you understand me,
Commander?

710
00:34:53,223 --> 00:34:54,757
Picard to away team.

711
00:34:54,758 --> 00:34:57,560
Prepare to return
to the ship immediately.

712
00:34:57,561 --> 00:35:00,561
Stand by, Enterprise.

713
00:35:04,334 --> 00:35:06,102
Pressman to Enterprise.

714
00:35:06,103 --> 00:35:09,103
Two people and one piece
of equipment to beam up.

715
00:35:21,184 --> 00:35:24,019
Report.

716
00:35:24,020 --> 00:35:27,020
The Romulans have destroyed
the entrance to the chasm

717
00:35:27,124 --> 00:35:28,691
with their disruptors.

718
00:35:28,692 --> 00:35:31,692
They've sealed us in.

719
00:35:41,171 --> 00:35:44,171
Sir, there is
an incoming message.

720
00:35:45,041 --> 00:35:47,777
It is from the warbird.

721
00:35:47,778 --> 00:35:49,011
On screen.

722
00:35:49,012 --> 00:35:50,413
Aye, sir.

723
00:35:50,414 --> 00:35:53,414
Captain, you seem to be in
a very unfortunate circumstance.

724
00:35:54,818 --> 00:35:56,485
How can we help?

725
00:35:56,486 --> 00:35:57,953
Are you responsible for this?

726
00:35:57,954 --> 00:35:59,455
I'm not sure.

727
00:35:59,456 --> 00:36:02,456
We were conducting
some geological experiments

728
00:36:02,626 --> 00:36:04,760
on the surface of the asteroid.

729
00:36:04,761 --> 00:36:06,562
It is entirely possible

730
00:36:06,563 --> 00:36:08,564
that we accidentally
sealed you in.

731
00:36:08,565 --> 00:36:11,233
If only we had known
you were beneath the surface...

732
00:36:11,234 --> 00:36:13,469
if you had shared
your plans with us...

733
00:36:13,470 --> 00:36:15,371
this might have been avoided.

734
00:36:15,372 --> 00:36:16,972
What do you want, Sirol?

735
00:36:16,973 --> 00:36:19,973
I don't want anything, Captain,
but I will offer to help you.

736
00:36:21,445 --> 00:36:22,611
How?

737
00:36:22,612 --> 00:36:25,612
By transporting your crew
aboard my ship.

738
00:36:25,749 --> 00:36:27,950
We'll take you back to Romulus

739
00:36:27,951 --> 00:36:30,786
where, after a short stay
as our guests

740
00:36:30,787 --> 00:36:33,589
you will be returned
to the Federation.

741
00:36:33,590 --> 00:36:36,225
Thank you
for your generous offer.

742
00:36:36,226 --> 00:36:38,727
I will take it under advisement.

743
00:36:38,728 --> 00:36:40,496
As you wish.

744
00:36:40,497 --> 00:36:43,497
We will be continuing
our research in this system

745
00:36:44,134 --> 00:36:45,701
for a while longer.

746
00:36:45,702 --> 00:36:48,702
I await your decision.

747
00:36:48,872 --> 00:36:49,872
We can't do it.

748
00:36:49,873 --> 00:36:51,040
If we abandon the Enterprise

749
00:36:51,041 --> 00:36:52,675
they'll come back here
and get their hands

750
00:36:52,676 --> 00:36:54,009
on both ships.

751
00:36:54,010 --> 00:36:55,244
Agreed. Options?

752
00:36:55,245 --> 00:36:58,245
Captain, I believe we could use
the phasers to cut our way out.

753
00:36:59,049 --> 00:37:01,917
The asteroid's internal
structure is highly unstable.

754
00:37:01,918 --> 00:37:04,918
Any attempt to cut
through the rock could cause

755
00:37:04,988 --> 00:37:07,056
the entire chasm to collapse.

756
00:37:07,057 --> 00:37:09,191
Captain, I have a suggestion.

757
00:37:09,192 --> 00:37:12,192
There's a piece of equipment
in Admiral Pressman's quarters

758
00:37:13,497 --> 00:37:16,497
under guard
that might get us out of here.

759
00:37:16,566 --> 00:37:19,566
It's a prototype for
a Federation cloaking device.

760
00:37:22,372 --> 00:37:25,372
You just ended your career,
Will.

761
00:37:25,375 --> 00:37:28,375
That's what it's about.

762
00:37:28,912 --> 00:37:31,080
A cloaking device.

763
00:37:31,081 --> 00:37:33,182
In the Treaty of Algeron

764
00:37:33,183 --> 00:37:35,718
the Federation
specifically agreed

765
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:37,987
not to develop
cloaking technology.

766
00:37:37,988 --> 00:37:40,988
And that treaty is the biggest
mistake we ever made.

767
00:37:41,091 --> 00:37:44,091
It's kept us from exploiting
a vital area of defense.

768
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,160
That treaty has kept us
in peace for 60 years...

769
00:37:47,197 --> 00:37:50,197
and, as a Starfleet officer,
you're supposed to uphold it.

770
00:37:51,001 --> 00:37:53,435
Now, that's enough!

771
00:37:53,436 --> 00:37:56,138
I'm taking command
of this vessel.

772
00:37:56,139 --> 00:37:59,139
Mr. Worf, escort the Captain
to his quarters.

773
00:38:10,220 --> 00:38:11,620
I don't think anyone's

774
00:38:11,621 --> 00:38:14,123
going to come to your defense
this time.

775
00:38:14,124 --> 00:38:17,124
How do we use the cloak
to escape from the asteroid?

776
00:38:18,395 --> 00:38:20,563
It's more than just a cloak.

777
00:38:20,564 --> 00:38:22,898
It changes the structure
of matter.

778
00:38:22,899 --> 00:38:25,334
In theory,
a ship using this device

779
00:38:25,335 --> 00:38:27,636
could pass
through normal matter.

780
00:38:27,637 --> 00:38:30,637
I see why you were so eager
to find it.

781
00:38:30,740 --> 00:38:32,541
Then, can't you see
the potential here?

782
00:38:32,542 --> 00:38:35,542
The phasing cloak could be
the greatest breakthrough

783
00:38:35,779 --> 00:38:37,813
in weapons research
in the last 50 years.

784
00:38:37,814 --> 00:38:39,081
Except that it's illegal.

785
00:38:39,082 --> 00:38:40,716
It's in violation
of an agreement

786
00:38:40,717 --> 00:38:43,319
that the Federation signed
in good faith.

787
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,320
Captain, I think we could adapt
the cloak for the Enterprise.

788
00:38:48,191 --> 00:38:50,292
Mr. Data?

789
00:38:50,293 --> 00:38:52,227
Theoretically,
it is possible, sir

790
00:38:52,228 --> 00:38:55,097
but it would take several hours
to study the device

791
00:38:55,098 --> 00:38:57,967
and determine how to link it
to our systems.

792
00:38:57,968 --> 00:39:00,968
Make it so.

793
00:39:01,037 --> 00:39:04,037
Captain's Log, Stardate 47457.1.

794
00:39:05,041 --> 00:39:07,676
We have been trapped
inside the asteroid

795
00:39:07,677 --> 00:39:09,344
for over eight hours.

796
00:39:09,345 --> 00:39:11,513
Mr. Data and Commander La Forge
inform me

797
00:39:11,514 --> 00:39:14,514
that they are nearly ready
to engage the cloak.

798
00:39:16,986 --> 00:39:19,488
Commander, we've routed
the impulse engines

799
00:39:19,489 --> 00:39:21,056
through the plasma conduits

800
00:39:21,057 --> 00:39:23,592
but you're going to have
to watch the intercooler levels.

801
00:39:23,593 --> 00:39:24,826
If they get too high

802
00:39:24,827 --> 00:39:26,828
we'll blow the entire
relay system.

803
00:39:26,829 --> 00:39:28,830
Understood.

804
00:39:28,831 --> 00:39:31,733
I think that's what happened
12 years ago.

805
00:39:31,734 --> 00:39:34,236
The cloak blew out
the plasma relays

806
00:39:34,237 --> 00:39:36,972
on the Pegasus
after we left the ship.

807
00:39:36,973 --> 00:39:39,973
The plasma ignited in space,
and it looked

808
00:39:40,043 --> 00:39:42,577
as if the ship
had been destroyed.

809
00:39:42,578 --> 00:39:45,013
So the ship drifted
into this system

810
00:39:45,014 --> 00:39:46,548
still in a phased state

811
00:39:46,549 --> 00:39:49,418
and when it passed
through this asteroid...

812
00:39:49,419 --> 00:39:52,321
The cloak failed
and half of the ship

813
00:39:52,322 --> 00:39:54,456
materialized in solid rock.

814
00:39:54,457 --> 00:39:55,958
La Forge to Bridge.

815
00:39:55,959 --> 00:39:57,092
The cloak is on line

816
00:39:57,093 --> 00:39:59,094
and ready to begin
phase sequencing.

817
00:39:59,095 --> 00:40:00,595
Proceed, Number One.

818
00:40:00,596 --> 00:40:01,930
Aye, sir.

819
00:40:01,931 --> 00:40:04,931
Activating power systems.

820
00:40:14,344 --> 00:40:16,611
Report.

821
00:40:16,612 --> 00:40:18,847
The cloak appears to be
functioning normally.

822
00:40:18,848 --> 00:40:20,716
The ship's matter/energy
phasing rate

823
00:40:20,717 --> 00:40:23,251
should be sufficient
to pass through the asteroid.

824
00:40:23,252 --> 00:40:26,121
Take us out.
Maneuvering thrusters only.

825
00:40:26,122 --> 00:40:27,556
Aye, sir.

826
00:40:27,557 --> 00:40:30,557
We will reach the rock face
in five seconds.

827
00:40:52,215 --> 00:40:54,983
We have passed through
two kilometers

828
00:40:54,984 --> 00:40:56,051
of the asteroid.

829
00:40:56,052 --> 00:40:59,052
Now within one kilometer
of the surface.

830
00:41:01,858 --> 00:41:04,858
We're approaching the surface.

831
00:41:09,432 --> 00:41:12,067
We have cleared the asteroid,
Captain.

832
00:41:12,068 --> 00:41:14,369
The warbird is off the port bow.

833
00:41:14,370 --> 00:41:16,805
They're still waiting for us
to make up our minds.

834
00:41:16,806 --> 00:41:19,806
Disengage the cloaking device,
Commander.

835
00:41:20,243 --> 00:41:21,276
You cannot do that!

836
00:41:21,277 --> 00:41:22,844
If the Romulans see us
decloaking, they'II...

837
00:41:22,845 --> 00:41:24,913
They'll know the truth, Admiral!

838
00:41:24,914 --> 00:41:27,849
Which is what everyone
will know very shortly.

839
00:41:27,850 --> 00:41:30,850
Carry out my orders.

840
00:41:39,228 --> 00:41:41,530
Mr. Worf,
send a message to the warbird.

841
00:41:41,531 --> 00:41:42,831
Inform them
that their government

842
00:41:42,832 --> 00:41:44,733
will be contacted shortly
about this incident.

843
00:41:44,734 --> 00:41:45,801
Aye, sir.

844
00:41:45,802 --> 00:41:48,802
Admiral,
I am hereby charging you

845
00:41:49,539 --> 00:41:51,973
with violation
of the Treaty of Algeron.

846
00:41:51,974 --> 00:41:54,209
As Captain of the Enterprise,
I'm placing you under arrest.

847
00:41:54,210 --> 00:41:55,210
Mr. Worf?

848
00:41:55,211 --> 00:41:57,579
Admiral,
if you will come with me.

849
00:41:57,580 --> 00:41:59,081
Captain...

850
00:41:59,082 --> 00:42:02,082
I'll have to be
placed under arrest as well.

851
00:42:04,821 --> 00:42:07,522
Admiral.

852
00:42:07,523 --> 00:42:10,523
I have a lot of friends
at Starfleet Command, Captain.

853
00:42:14,697 --> 00:42:17,697
You're going to need them.

854
00:42:40,389 --> 00:42:42,657
I've spoken
with Fleet Admiral Shanthi.

855
00:42:42,658 --> 00:42:45,658
There will be a full inquiry
once we reach Starbase 247

856
00:42:45,995 --> 00:42:47,529
and that will probably lead

857
00:42:47,530 --> 00:42:50,298
to a general court-martial
of Admiral Pressman

858
00:42:50,299 --> 00:42:53,068
and several others
at Starfleet Intelligence.

859
00:42:53,069 --> 00:42:55,704
Your involvement in this affair

860
00:42:55,705 --> 00:42:58,039
is going to be thoroughly
investigated, Will.

861
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,342
There'll be some hard
questions for you to answer.

862
00:43:00,343 --> 00:43:03,343
I understand.

863
00:43:10,019 --> 00:43:13,019
You made a mistake 12 years ago,
but your service since then

864
00:43:14,390 --> 00:43:17,192
has earned you
a great deal of respect

865
00:43:17,193 --> 00:43:20,193
but this incident could cost
you some of that respect.

866
00:43:21,197 --> 00:43:23,131
I can't help but feel
that I should have

867
00:43:23,132 --> 00:43:24,533
come forward a long time ago.

868
00:43:24,534 --> 00:43:27,169
But when the moment came
to make a decision

869
00:43:27,170 --> 00:43:28,703
you made the right one.

870
00:43:28,704 --> 00:43:31,704
You chose to tell the truth
and face the consequences.

871
00:43:32,642 --> 00:43:34,943
As long as you can still do that

872
00:43:34,944 --> 00:43:37,712
then you deserve
to wear that uniform.

873
00:43:37,713 --> 00:43:39,447
And I will still be proud

874
00:43:40,305 --> 00:44:40,515
