detection was wise. However, the transporter is rarely used after 02:00 hours. - Going out for a spin? - Seven tons of explosives. Tetryon pulse launchers and isomagnetic disintegrators. - A hunting trip? - Return to your quarters. - That's an order. - No uniform, no orders. How can I look at a sunrise, knowing what my sight cost these people? Exposure could stimulate rebellious instincts common to youth - - which would affect everyone's judgement ... except mine. What do you think we should do? Saddle up. Lock and load. They won't begin the procedure while the planet is inhabited. Our job is to keep the planet inhabited. We'll show what's happening here. Make the Council see the Ba'ku. Then it won't be so easy to turn a blind eye to their suffering. - I'll be back before you know it. - We'll hold out as long as we can. The injector performs perfectly in every simulation. The Enterprise left orbit, but a support craft is on the surface. It's the Captain's yacht. Five persons on board. We're not waiting. Get everyone off the surface tonight. Gallatin. If Picard or any of his people interfere ... eliminate them. We're leaving the village. Take only what you need. Bring food. We may not be back for days. It's a transport inhibitor. It will prevent anyone being beamed off the surface. Kelbonite in the hills will interfere with their transporters. Where there aren't any deposits we'll use transport inhibitors. The mountains are full of kelbonite. - Transport will be difficult there. - There are caves in the mountains. Good, but they're not going to make it easy for us to get there. Captain, we activated the transport inhibitors around the village. Move these people out! - The transporters won't function. - They're using inhibitors. Locate and destroy them. You're carrying too much. We have a long climb ahead of us. Three transport inhibitors down. There's a gap in the field. Father! Kelbonite deposits are blocking our transporters. - Recommendations? - Let me talkto Picard. Talk! We should send down an assault team. If people get hurt, all the support we have in the Federation ... Federation support, Federation procedures, Federation rules. Look in the mirror, the Federation is old. In the past 24 months, they've been challenged by every major power. The Borg, the Cardassians, the Dominion. They all smell the scent of death on the Federation. You embraced our offer to give the Federation new life. How badly do you want it? There are hard choices to be made. If news gets through of your captain's brave struggle, - - Federation politicians will waver. There will be a public debate. Federation allies will want their say ... Need I go on? Isolinear tags would allow our transporters to lock onto them. We'd have to tag every one of them. We don't have the time. In 19 hours the Enterprise will be able to contact the Federation. - I'll order Riker to turn around. - Picard's first officer. Do you really believe he'll listen? My ships could intercept the Enterprise. I could send them to ... ... escort it back. But Commander Riker might not want to come. Send your ships. - Do you like being a machine? - I aspire to be more than I am. I know why. So people like us won't be afraid of you anymore. Don't you ever get tired? My power cells continually recharge themselves. I can't imagine what it's like to be a machine. I have often tried to imagine what it is like to be a child. Really? For one thing, your legs are shorter than everyone else's. But they are in a constant state of growth. - Is it difficult to adapt? - Adapt? A child's specifications change from one moment to the next. - Do you trip over your own feet? - Sometimes. My legs are exactly 87.2 cm in length. They were 87.2 cm the day I was created. They will be 87.2 cm the day I go off-line. I depend on specifications that do not change. I will never ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Шиза на английском - текст Онг-Банк: Тайский Воин на английском - текст Дон жуан Де Марко на английском - текст Тепловой удар на английском - текст Малышка на миллион на английском |
