terminated.
Commander, the unit's...
Congratulations.
You just destroyed the Enterprise.
- Thank you for the encouragement!
- Don't feel bad.
You passed the rest,
diplomatic law, first contact
procedure, bridge operations.
Engineering's
the toughest part of the test.
- So, what did I do wrong?
- I'm afraid I can't tell you that.
Why not? What kind of test is this?
The kind you have to take again
if you want to be a bridge officer!
Only next time,
the problem won't be so easy.
So I suggest you study
your emergency procedures.
How can I, if you won't tell me
what I did wrong?
I don't know.
I'm afraid
I can't tell you that either.
Rock, fire, sky and water are
the basic elements of the universe.
They can be found in every object,
animal, person, everything.
The rock in this wood can be felt
by its weight and hardness.
If we expose the wood to flame,
we can encourage the fire
within the wood to show itself.
We can also see smoke...
...which is a part of the sky.
The water in wood
is difficult to see.
Sometimes the elements
are buried deep within objects,
but the four elements
are always there.
Yes, Jayden?
I do not believe that is correct.
Oh?
I believe you are reasoning
by analogy,
classifying things according
to superficial observation
rather than empirical evidence.
Wood, for example, does not contain
fire because it is combustible,
nor does it contain rock
because it is heavy.
Wood, like any complex organic form,
is composed of thousands of chemical
compounds, none of which is fire.
That will be enough, Jayden.
As I told you, our friend Jayden
has lost much of his memory,
so I wouldn't put too much faith
in any of his ideas.
That is all for today.
I will see you tomorrow.
Practise your spelling
and arithmetic tonight.
Are you alright?
Yes. But I do not agree
with Talar's assessment.
Although I do have gaps
in my memory,
I know that fire is not an element.
That is not what you promised me!
You're getting old. I offered you 15
for the metal and I gave it to you.
We agreed on 20.
Garvin is correct. You agreed on 20.
Stay out of this, ice man!
Your memory is not reliable.
Father! Father, what's wrong?
I don't know.
I feel very weak suddenly.
You have a fever.
We should get him home.
- What's wrong with him?
- I suspect he...
I don't know. I've never encountered
anything like this before.
These lesions look like burn marks.
The fluids of his body
have overheated.
That would explain
the fever and burning skin.
Keep him cool, let plenty
of fresh air into the house,
and I want you to give him
these herbs.
That will bring his
fluidic temperature down
and allow this to pass.
I understand.
With an increased focal length
and an achromatic objective lens,
this instrument will have
a higher effective magnification.
I will come back tomorrow
and check on you.
Thank you.
Garvin, with your permission,
I would like to begin my own
investigation into your illness.
Go ahead.
Gia, would you accompany me
to the village?
I will need some supplies.
What are you going to do
with all this?
Make the laboratory equipment
to research your father's illness.
- Do you think you can help him?
- I do not know.
I must isolate the cause
of the illness...
There he is!
It's his fault! No one was sick
before he came to the village.
- Has Garvin's illness spread?
- That's right. And you're the cause.
- That's not true!
- Gia, I think we should leave.
That's it. Leave. Get out of here.
Go back to where you came from!
Jayden, what are you doing?
I'm studying skin samples
from Gia and Garvin
in an attempt to isolate
the cause of the illness.
Gia?
Yes. She is also beginning
to show signs of the illness.
What is that?
It is a magnifying device
based on your handheld instrument.
I have refined the design
to increase magnification.
- May I?
- Of course.
How strong is the magnification?
Objects appear approximately
500 times their
