CHEERING
- Hip, hip!
- Hooray!
- Hip, hip!
- Hooray!
- Hip, hip!
- Hooray!
- Congratulations, Mr Worf.
- Thank you, sir.
Extend the plank!
EXCITED CHATTERING
Lower the badge of office.
He'll never make it.
No one ever has.
SHOUTING ENCOURAGEMENT
CHEERING
Yes! Yes, Worf!
If I've learnt one thing
over the years,
it's never to underestimate
a Klingon.
Computer, remove the plank!
Number One, that's "retract plank,"
not "remove plank."
Of course, sir.
Sorry!
GROWLS
Doctor, I must confess,
I am uncertain as to why someone
falling into water is amusing.
It's all in good fun, Data.
- Fun?
- Fun.
I do not understand.
You've got to get into
the spirit of things.
Learn to be spontaneous.
Live in the moment.
- Do something unexpected. Get it?
- Got it.
SCREAMS
Oh!
Data.
- That was...
- ..not funny.
All hands, make sail!
RIKER: T'gansuls and courses!
Stand by the braces!
CAPTAIN: Will.
BOATSWAIN'S PIPE BLOWING
Just imagine what it was like...
no engines, no computers,
just the wind and the sea
and the stars to guide you.
Bad food, brutal discipline,
no women.
'Bridge to Captain Picard.'
Picard here.
'There's a personal message
for you from Earth.'
Put it through down here.
The best thing
about life at sea, Will,
was that no one could reach you.
This was freedom, Will.
Computer, arch.
Look alive there!
Here. Take the wheel.
Captain,
are you all right?
Yes. I'm fine.
Excuse me.
Computer, exit.
Mr LaForge, set royals
and stansuls.
What's a stansul, sir?
You see that last yardarm?
Just above that...
- 'Bridge to holodeck 3.'
- Riker here.
'We're picking up a distress call
from the Amargosa Observatory.
'They say they're under attack.'
Red alert! Battle stations.
Captain Picard to the bridge!
It looks like we're too late.
There are no other ships
in the system.
We're approaching Amargosa.
It looks like the observatory
took quite a beating.
Survivors?
DATA: Sensors show five life signs
aboard the station.
RIKER: The station's
complement was 19.
Stand down from red alert.
Number One...
Will you begin an investigation?
I'll be in my ready room.
Make it so.
- I thought you...
- Just do it!
- Mr Worf!
- Aye, sir.
Mr Worf, you're with me.
The blast patterns are consistent
with the type-3 disruptor.
Great. That narrows it down
to Romulan, Breen and Klingon.
STEAM HISSES
WORF: Over here!
It's all right.
Do not struggle.
It's OK.
We're right here.
I've got you.
I'm Commander William Riker
from the starship Enterprise.
Soran... Dr Tolian Soran.
Who attacked you, Doctor?
I don't know.
It all happened so fast.
Commander!
Better take a look at this.
Romulans.
Why did you push her in the water
in the first place?
I was attempting to get
into the spirit of things.
I thought it would be
amusing. Spot.
Is she still angry?
I'd stay out of sickbay for
a couple of days if I were you.
You're not thinking about
using it, are you?
I have considered it
for many months.
In light of my recent episode
with Dr Crusher,
now may be the appropriate time.
I thought you worried about
overloading your neural net.
That is true.
However, I believe my growth
as an artificial life form
has reached an impasse.
For 34 years, I have endeavoured
to become more human...
to grow beyond my
original programming.
Still, I am unable to grasp
such a basic concept as humour.
This emotion chip may be
the only answer.
Geordi...
All right.
At the first sign of trouble,
I'm going to deactivate it.
- Agreed?
- Agreed.
RIKER: We found two dead Romulans
on the station.
We're analysing their equipment
to see which ship they came from.
There's no indication
of why they attacked the station.
They tore the place apart.
Accessed the central computer,
turned the cargo bay inside out.
Obviously, they were
looking for something.
This could signify a new
