into the middle of a blood feud. The children have returned to expel their elders. Except Ru'afo's need for revenge has escalated into parricide. It was for the Federation. It was all for the Federation. We're taking this ship out of here. This mission is over. - It is not over. - It is over. l do not take orders from you! If you launch the injector, the Federation will pursue you ... The Federation will never know what happened here. Admiral Dougherty won't be joining us. Deploy the collector. - Do you have a problem with that? - May l talk to you alone? - Deploy the collector. - Yes, sir. - You want to kill them all? - No one hated them more than you. We've come a long way. This is the moment we've planned for so long. Transfer all Starfleet personnel to the cargo hold. See that Picard joins them. The shields in that section won't protect them from the heat. Thank you for reminding me. Jean-Luc. Come with me. It must have been strange for you as a hostage, - - surrounded by all the friends and family you once knew. All looking exactly as they did then. Like looking through the eyes of childhood again. And here you are, closing those eyes. Trying not to see what bitterness has done to the Son'a. How it's turned Ru'afo into a madman. And you ... It's turned you into a coward. A man who denies his own conscience. Get in. A coward without the moral courage to prevent an atrocity. - Are you pleading for your life? - I'm not pleading for my life. I'm pleading for yours. You can still go home, Gal'na. Computer, close turbolift doors. You're asking me to do the impossible. - You can disable the injector. - From the bridge. - The crew is loyal to Ru'afo. - Perhaps we can lure him away. As soon as he realizes something is wrong, he'll override my commands. He may not realize something is wrong. Get me to a transmitter. l 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. ls 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. l am attempting to return to the surface. - The Federation ship has been hit. - Separation in 20 seconds. - What's that? - l 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, authorization 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-cloak the 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 back to 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. ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст На грани на английском - текст Распутник на английском - текст Вий на английском - текст Новичок на английском - текст Идиот на английском |
