A pair of hands. They were moving across my skin. - Like a caress? - Yes. There was a voice, a man. He whispered my name. It was as if I knew him. Or more like, he knew me. He knew how I liked to be touched. It was the most physical dream I've ever had. The sensations were very real and extremely arousing. Frankly, I'm envious. I did fall asleep reading an erotic chapter in my grandmother's journal. She wrote detailed descriptions of her experiences with Ronin. Well, that's bound to cause a dream or two. So, shall we start going over the personnel reports? I think he had a ring on one of his hands when he touched my shoulder, my neck. I wonder if I'll have another dream tonight. I'd read two chapters. - You probably want to be alone. - No, it's OK. I'm sorry we got off to a bad start. I read my grandmother's journals. - I know how much you meant to her. - She was a grand lady. You'll not see many more like her. You have your grandmother's fire, that's for sure. Ned, you're welcome to stay at the house after I've gone to take care of the place. That's very kind of you, but I'll ne'er set foot in that house again. I recommend you dinna. - Why? - I tried to tell your grandmother. - The house is haunted. - Haunted? You believe what you want, lass, just dinna light that candle. - Why not? - It'll bring the ghost. It's his home. He's out now, wandering across the land, angry at being driven out. That's why he's bringing the storms. The weather system's control is malfunctioning. The Enterprise is repairing it. Sure. But who do you think is causing the malfunction? - I think your imagination... - Think what you want. See what you want. Just do as I say. Dinna light that candle or go to that house, or before you know it, they'll bury another Howard in this cemetery. I'm detecting atmospheric turbulence and pockets of electrical activity. On screen. - It is growing in intensity. - One hell of a thunderstorm. Bridge to Engineering. We are reading an extremely large storm over the colony. I thought the weather malfunction was not severe. It began as a minor fluctuation, but the effect has spread. It has caused a concentration of cumulonimbus activity. I suggest we set up a power transfer to the weather substations, try to give enough power to stabilise the storm. Make it so. Who's there? Ned? Is that you? Hello? I know somebody's here, so I suggest you... Alright, that's it. If you don't show yourself, I'll call the Enterprise. There will be ten guards here within 30 seconds. Beverly. I've come back for you. Who are you? Don't you remember? I came to you while you were asleep. No, that was a dream. I'm calling the Enterprise. Now do you remember me? Yes. What's happening to me? Right now, I feel so strange. I love you, Beverly, just as I loved Felisa before you. - Are you Ronin? - Yes. You saw me at the funeral. Who are you? I'm a spirit. - I don't believe in... - Ghosts? Nor did I in the beginning. I was born in 1647, in Glasgow, on Earth. You're telling me that you're an 800-year-old ghost? I found a home with Jessel Howard. She was a pretty lass with a mane of red hair and eyes like diamonds. I loved her very much. When she died, I stayed with her daughter, and her daughter, and on down through the years, generation after generation. And now you're here on Caldos, 200 light years away? When your family moved out into the galaxy, I moved with them. I don't believe you. I believe you are the most beautiful women I have ever known. What's... What's happening to me? We're becoming one, Beverly. We're going to be together. I don't understand. Stop it. Come in. I wanted to see if you were going to Mok'bara class this morning. No, I think I'll skip it today. I'm exhausted. Did you have another dream last night? - Not exactly. - Is anything wrong? Not at all. Beverly, if I didn't know better, ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Московская элегия на английском - текст Поцелуй бабочки на английском - текст Клятва на английском - текст Кровавый четверг на английском - текст Крутой мир на английском |
