Full impulse. - Aye, sir. Well done, Taitt. You're killing him. He won't survive another session. I did not come for him. I came for you. It's not too late. If you remove the fibres, Geordi could recover. - That would not be possible. - Why? Because Lore tells you so? It is for the greater good. Good? Data, isn't good and bad, right and wrong, a function of your ethical program? That is correct. What does that program tell you about what you're doing to Geordi? About what you and Lore are doing to the Borg? It tells you these things are wrong, doesn't it, Data? How can actions that are wrong lead to a greater good? - You are trying to confuse me. - No, you're not confused, Data. You're sensing the truth. Your ethical program is fighting the emotions Lore is sending you. Captain! Thank you so much for joining us. You are going to assist me in a most important ceremony. We'll use the control ducts to get into the compound. - That'll lead to the detention area. - We have to move fast. If we stun a guard, the Borg will know right away. When they realise, your escape may be compromised. I guess we'll have to take that chance. Good luck, Commander. It's time to put aside all doubts, brother. It's time to close the door on the past and commit yourself to the great work that lies ahead of us. I need to know I can count on you. As proof, I want you to kill Picard. No. That would be wrong. I didn't think you could do it. You've spent too many years among humans. Hold him! I've asked many sacrifices of you. Sacrifices I knew were necessary in order to build a better future. I want you to know that I ask no more of you than I am prepared to give myself. I am willing to make the greatest sacrifice of all. My own dear brother. Goodbye, Data. No! Lore? You should be careful with that, brother. Someone could get hurt! - What are you doing? - I've got a way out of here. I'm willing to forget what happened back there, and take you with me. We don't need anyone else. We're brothers! I'll give you the chip our father made. It contains much more than just emotions. It has memories! Memories our father wanted you to have. Lore, I must deactivate you now. Without me, you will never feel emotion again. I know. But you leave me no other choice. I love you, brother... Goodbye, Lore. What about Geordi and Troi? The Enterprise is in orbit. I had them beamed aboard. Lore is no longer functioning, sir. He must be disassembled so he is no longer a threat. - Welcome back, Data. - Thank you, sir. What made you change your mind, Hugh? My encounter with the Enterprise affected me more than I realised. What will you do now? I don't know. We can't go back to the Borg collective and we no longer have a leader here. I'm not sure that's true. Perhaps in time, we will learn to function as individuals and work together as a group. Good luck, Hugh. Goodbye. Captain's log, stardate 47025.4. We've returned to Federation space and are en route to Starbase 295. Mr La Forge remains under Dr Crusher's care. Enter. Hi, Data. Dr Crusher says I'll be able to return to duty soon. I am relieved that the injuries I inflicted on you are not permanent. What's that? It is the chip my father made for me so I could experience emotion. I removed it from Lore before he was dismantled. - Does it work? - No. I am pleased to say it was damaged when I fired on Lore. Pleased? Data, you've wanted emotions your whole life. Yes. But emotions are responsible for what I did to you. I would never risk letting that happen again. My friendship with you is too important to me. Data, I wouldn't be much of a friend if I let you give up on a lifelong dream, would I? Maybe someday. When you're ready.Enter! Worf, they're going to be here any minute. I'm having problems. If I didn't know you, I'd say you were procrastinating. Klingons do not procrastinate. ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Оставайся голодным на английском - текст Человек Омега на английском - текст Дневник его жены на английском - текст 48 часов на английском - текст Кин-Дза-Дза на английском |
