Enterprise. That's an order. That is impossible, sir. That ship has violated a Federation outpost. It is my duty to stop it. I'm your commanding officer. That is a direct order, understood? Commander, if you could explain... I've never explained my orders before. I'm not starting now. I won't let him blow this ship into space. If I can set up a low-level commlink, I can use my personal codes to deactivate the shields. Do it. Sir, we are receiving some kind of signal from the mercenaries' ship. Cmdr Riker's sending his codes to try to shut down our shields. But he'll know we changed the codes as soon as he was captured. That is correct, Counsellor. He does know. Mr Worf, prepare to drop shields. Sir, we would be totally defenceless. - I am aware of that. - Sir, when they see... Mr Worf, that is an order. Aye, sir. It worked. The shields are dropping. Fire.Last time, on "Star Trek: The Next Generation". I'm told you know about the man we want. There were some aliens. He was asking them questions. One of them took out a weapon and fired. He was vaporised. This is about justice. The Captain died in a bar fight for nothing. Those ruins have been studied for centuries. - There's nothing new to learn. - Then why were you there? Baran wouldn't last five minutes without his control device. That sounds like a prelude to mutiny. They captured me to find out how much I knew about them. - Then you joined their crew? - I convinced them I was a smuggler. Will, these are not common thieves. They are stealing Romulan artefacts from sites throughout this sector. Mr Worf, prepare to drop shields. Sir, we would be totally defenceless. I am aware of that. Fire. And now, the conclusion. Direct hit to the port nacelle. Only minimal damage. Hit to starboard. No appreciable damage. Will did something to their weapons. I believe you are right. It is now up to us to play along. Release inertial dampers and cut power to decks 31 through 37. Set phasers to 25 percent. Return fire. Aye, sir. Continue firing. I've lost three plasma relays. Auxiliary power is not available. Transfer weapons control to my station. We can feed power... The antimatter units are buckling. The Enterprise is damaged, but they have superior firepower. If we stay here, we'll be destroyed. The logical response is to withdraw. We've done enough damage. Narik, set course. 180, mark 215. Warp six. Initiate. They're activating warp drive. Sir, we cannot track them if they go to warp. I can disable them... I am aware of the tactical situation. Let them go. Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission, to explore strange new worlds... ...to seek out new life and new civilisations... ...to boldly go where no one has gone before. I've gone over every word, every inflection, every facial response. I still can't find a hidden message. The existence of such a message is remote, but we should check. I'll keep trying. Two starships will intercept the mercenaries at Yadalla Prime and Draken IV, in case they attack those planets. Inform Starfleet Command that we will hold position. So, we are just going to remain here? Yes, but we will pursue all avenues of investigation. If we had not let them escape, this would not be necessary. Yes. But I believe Cmdr Riker wanted us to let them escape. I've found something. I've studied the commlink Riker used to transmit his codes. I ran the transmission through a subharmonic analysis. I found this. It was sent with the command codes. The message we're looking for? Possibly. I will attempt to resequence the signal. Begin searching for a decryption key. I'm taking the engines off line. How long will the repairs take? At least five hours to replace the antimatter-containment unit. You have three hours, Narik. One minute more and you'll answer with your life.
