need to speak with Data and Worf
down on the planet.
Initiate separation.
Separation in three minutes.
A small craft is approaching.
It's powering up its weapons.
- On screen.
- One person aboard, the android.
He's no threat.
Data to Picard.
They're ignoring my attack.
Keep firing into the shield.
Is Worf in position?
- Yes, he's ready for transport.
- We're approaching the bridge.
- Separation in one minute.
- He's disrupting our shields.
If they go out of phase,
we'll be exposed to the reaction.
Very well, destroy that ship.
Do not delay the countdown.
Data to Picard. They are
rotating their shield harmonics.
I am attempting
to return to the surface.
- The Federation ship has been hit.
- Separation in 20 seconds.
- What's that?
- I don't know.
- The systems don't seem affected.
- Separation in ten seconds.
Five seconds.
The injector assembly has separated.
Exactly
as the simulations predicted.
I'm not showing any change
in metaphasic flux levels.
- Your scanners are malfunctioning.
- All ship functions are off-line.
How can there be no ship functions
if the view screen is working?
Artificial gravity is stable.
Life support is ...
A holodeck!
We were transported to the holoship
when we reset our shields.
Everything we saw was an illusion.
Ru'afo, authorisation Delta 2-1 .
Override all commands
to injector assembly one.
Unable to comply. Injector
assembly one has been deactivated.
All injector sub-systems
aboard the collector are off-line.
De-cloakthe holoship
and engage a tractor beam.
The crew know something is wrong.
I've secured the bridge.
We have 14 long-range transporters.
Are they all useless?
They were locked
after we were beamed here.
Isolate one and re-route it
through the auxiliary processor.
There's nothing we can do.
They have control of our ship.
I'm not going backto our ship.
- Worf, destroy that thing.
- Aye, sir.
- Weapons systems are off-line.
- They're re-routing controls.
The collector launch sequence
has resumed.
Collector shields have been raised.
Someone's on board.
- It's Ru'afo.
- Can you override the launch?
Not without access codes. There
is self-destruct on the collector.
- Try to beam through those shields.
- It has to be detonated manually.
Transport is possible between the
shield generators within 100 metres.
Take us into position.
Remain at your post.
- I need you to beam me back.
- We're approaching the collector.
When the fuel tanks start venting,
weapons fire may ignite the exhaust.
Separation
in 2 minutes and 15 seconds.
Intruder alert.
Captain!
Worf?
Captain Picard
is on board the collector.
Enterprise to Picard!
Do you need assistance?
- I may need a lift in a minute.
- We're on our way.
Separation in one minute.
- Report.
- It's Ru'afo's ship!
On screen.
Sensors are reading over 100 Ba'ku
on board and one Klingon.
Target their ventral engines and
life support. Collision course.
Stop!
- We're getting too old for this.
- Soon that won't be a problem.
Separation in 30 seconds.
You're really going to risk
igniting the exhaust?
All right, I will!
- Shields at 60%.
- Hold your course.
- He wouldn't.
- Yes, he would.
Now!
Stand by, Captain. We're on our way.
Sorry, time's up.
What kept you, Number One?
The Federation Council
has halted the Ba'ku relocation.
There'll be a top-level review.
- Ru'afo's ship is hailing us.
- On screen.
The Son'a crew want a cease-fire.
We have three minutes of air left.
Prepare to beam aboard.
How will we feel when we leave
this metaphasic radiation?
Your feelings about her
haven't changed.
This place just let them out
for a little fresh air.
- How can we bring them back home?
- Askthem.
I'm afraid there's too much
bitterness on both sides.
Mother and son.
- You arranged this?
- To begin the healing process.
What am I going to do without you?
I wish I could stay ...
But these are perilous times
for the Federation.
I can
