decide how to handle the issue, so they put them into cold storage. I just got off with Admiral Forrest. We've been authorized to use whatever force necessary to stop Soong. I need all the speed you can give me. You'll have it. ...This is cargo ship Corsair. Repeat, medical emergency... Corsair, this is Barzai, a Denobulan medical ship. What's the nature of your emergency? ...Reactor leak... Ten crewmen exposed... delta radiation... I have a fix. I'm about six minutes away from you. Barzai, stand down and prepare to be boarded. How's the patient? He's doing fine. Ready to be discharged. Good. I just reviewed the crew manifest for C-12. One of the names is Doctor Jeremy Lucas. He's Senior Medical Director. In his last correspondence, he mentioned he was being transferred. He didn't say where. I thought you should know. I appreciate it. Captain... I spent a few months at C-12 myself. I know the security protocols, I'm familiar with the technology. I'd like to be included in the landing party. Consider it done. Thank you. Phlox tells me he's ready to free up this bio-bed. So I've been told. If you've had enough Sick Bay food, I'd like you to join me in the Captain's Mess. Do I have a choice? No. See you in an hour. Cold Station 12, this is Medical Ship Barzai, transmitting security code. Barzai, we are currently on heightened alert. Slow to one-quarter impulse and transmit security code. Transmitting. Code confirmed. You're clear to proceed. [ footsteps approaching ] Why are you flying a Denobulan shuttle? Why not? You aren't Denobulan. That's true. We don't have enough masks. You don't need masks. Doctor Lucas... I asked you never to bother me when I'm watching a viropathiccytolysis. Defense Protocols just came on. Did you contact Security? I can't reach them. The com's down. The system's been taken off-line. Doctor. What the hell...? Phlox tells me you'd been living on your own for quite a while. I left the camp about a year ago. You must be pretty resourceful... to survive by yourself out there. It wasn't that hard. Didn't look like a very friendly planet. When you get back to Earth, you should consider going to school. School? You've got a lot of catching up to do. How can I go to school if I'm in prison? What makes you think you're going to prison? I'm an Augment. I don't know what you've been told about Earth. You're not going to be punished. That's not what my father said. Soong is not your father. What do you mean? Your biological father was Miklos Karlovassi. He was a geophysicist. How do you know that? We got the information from Soong's computer. Your mother's name was Irina. She was an athlete... decathlon. Won a silver medal in the Olympics. We've got a lot of historical data on both your parents. You're welcome to look at it. Coffee. I'm approaching a new sleep cycle. When does your hibernation begin? Oh, not for another few weeks, but I would like to increase my body mass by at least ten percent. Tell you the truth, I'm not very hungry. You're worried about Dr. Lucas? We've been friends a very long time. We're getting there as fast as we can, Phlox. You might be interested to know Smike's become quite a student of Earth history. He's been reading up on the Eugenics Wars. I doubt Soong gave him the whole story. I'm quite familiar with the subject myself. Human intellect and human instinct were out of synch. So many people were killed. The official number was 30 million. Some historians say it was closer to 35. I can understand why Earth banned genetic engineering. What do you know about Clarke's syndrome? Oh, it's a degenerative brain disorder that afflicts humans. My father died of it when I was 12. I'm sorry. He had frequent pain... hallucinations... He'd talk to people who weren't there. Often couldn't recognize me or my mother. The last two years of his life...
