Romulan threat in this sector. Inform Starfleet Command. You want me to contact Starfleet? - Is there a problem? - No, sir. There was something else, Captain. One of the scientists, a Dr Soran, insisted on speaking with you. I told him you were very busy. He said it was imperative that he speak with you. Understood. That will be all. Sir, is there anything... No, thank you. Gentlemen, something new from Frocas III? What? I believe this beverage has produced an emotional response. Really? What are you feeling? I am uncertain. As I have had little experience with emotion, I am unable to...articulate the sensation. Emotion? I'll explain later. Ooh! Well, it looks like he hates it. Yes. That is it. - I hate this! - I think the chip is working. Oh, yes! I hate this! It is revolting! - More? - Please. I'm looking for a Dr Soran from the observatory. Dr Soran? Yes? Ah, yes, Captain. Thank you for coming. There is something urgent you wish to discuss. Yes. I must return to the observatory immediately. I must continue an experiment I've been running on the Amargosa star. We're still conducting our investigation into the attack. As soon as that is complete, I'll allow you to return, but till then there's nothing I can do. Timing is very important in my experiment, sir. If it's not completed in the next 12 hours, years of research will be lost. We are doing our best. If you'll excuse me. They say time is the fire in which we burn. Right now, Captain, my time is running out. We leave so many things unfinished in our lives. I know you understand. I'll see what I can do. WORF: We have analysed the Romulan's tricorder. They were scanning for signature particles - of a compound called trilithium. - Trilithium? An experimental compound the Romulans are working on. Trilithium is a nuclear inhibitor. In theory, it could stop all fusion within a star. However, the Romulans never found a way to stabilise it. Why would they look for it on a Federation observatory? I do not know. Have Geordi and Data go over with the away team. Tell them to scan the observatory for trilithium. BEEPING Well, there's no sign of any trilithium over here. LAUGHTER Ha ha ha! I get it! Ha ha ha! - I get it! - You get what? When you said to Commander Riker, "The clown can stay, "but the Ferengi in the gorilla suit has to go." - What are you talking about? - During the Farpoint mission. We were on the bridge. You told a joke. That was the punch line. The Farpoint... - Data, that was seven years ago. - I know. I just got it. Very funny. Ha ha ha! DATA CONTINUES LAUGHING Wait a minute. There's a door hidden right behind you. I can see the separation with my visor. There appears to be a dampening field in operation. I cannot scan beyond the bulkhead. Ha ha ha! There doesn't seem to be a control panel or an access port. It appears to be magnetically sealed. I can reverse the polarity by attenuating my axial servo. Open sesame. Ha ha ha! You could say I have a magnetic personality. Ha ha ha! Humour! I love it! Hee! Data... come take a look at this, will you? You ever seen a solar probe with this kind of configuration? SILLY VOICE No, Geordi, I have not. Have you? REGULAR VOICE No, I have not. It is most unusual. He he he! Mr Tricorder. Ha ha ha! Just see if you can help me get these panels open. Make it so. Whoa. My visor's picking up something in the Theta band. It could be a trilithium signature. Ha ha ha! We don't have time for this. I cannot help myself. I think something is wrong. Aah! Data? Data... Data, are you all right? I believe the emotion chip has overloaded my positronic relay. We'd better get you back to the ship. LaForge to Enterprise. LaForge to Enterprise. Gentlemen, is there a problem? GEORDI: Dr Soran. There seems to be some sort of dampening field in here. It's blocking our com signal. Can you
