Salvatore.
He transferred over a year ago.
Lt Ziff.
She's in quantum mechanics.
That's him.
Lt Walter Pierce.
I remember now. He came on board
about six months ago. In Engineering.
You were Lt Kwan's supervisor
at Utopia Planitia?
That's right.
I was sorry to hear what happened.
Were you ever
in the nacelle control room
while it was under construction?
I worked all over the ship.
In fact, I remember
running a power conduit
behind this wall here.
Were you ever in the nacelle room
at the same time as Lt Kwan?
It was a long time ago.
People were working everywhere.
- So you do not remember?
- I'm sorry. I don't.
Do you recall
if anything unusual happened there?
How do you mean?
An altercation, perhaps.
Possibly involving Kwan.
No. Nothing like that. As I remember,
things went pretty smoothly.
What's this all about,
if you don't mind my asking?
Not at all. In the nacelle room
I had an empathic experience.
The Counsellor may have been seeing
an event from eight years ago.
And I saw you there.
Do you have any idea why?
I'm afraid I don't.
Are you aware that I can sense
when someone's telling the truth?
I've heard that.
Then, if you remember anything
relevant to our investigation
you'll contact me?
Of course.
- Thank you, Lieutenant.
- Counsellor.
It's strange.
I couldn't read him at all.
But you implied that...
We have played poker many times.
I've never known you to bluff.
Well, it wouldn't be much of a bluff
if you knew, would it?
The fact I couldn't read him suggests
he must have some telepathic ability.
- But Pierce is human.
- That's what I don't understand.
Even though
I couldn't read his emotions,
I felt he was holding something back.
I thought so, as well.
We should access the Engineering logs
from Utopia Planitia.
We might find out more about him.
There may be something in them
about Lt Kwan as well.
It's going to take half an hour
to complete transmission.
Perhaps we should
continue this in the morning.
It is late.
- Yes, and you must be tired.
- A little.
So I will say goodnight.
Goodnight.
We should get an early start
tomorrow.
I think we should.
I'll see you in the morning.
Yes.
- Hello.
- Breakfast is ready.
That sounds nice.
But it can wait.
Why didn't we do this
a long time ago?
Crusher to Counsellor Troi.
Yes, Doctor?
I've synthesised the inhibitor.
Come when you're ready.
Acknowledged.
Crusher to Lt Worf.
Worf here.
Medical supplies are ready
to be taken to cargo bay.
I will be there shortly.
This should take effect immediately.
Will it completely suppress
my empathic abilities?
It's hard to say. I can increase
the dosage if it's not enough.
The cargo bay will be off limits
to all but Medical personnel.
- Thanks for your help, sir.
- You're welcome.
- Good morning.
- Counsellor.
Data and Geordi are in the
nacelle tube. Are you ready?
Yes.
Excuse me, sir.
About the cargo bay quarantine field?
We'll need a second field generator.
I'm needed here.
I'll join you as soon as I can.
Alright.
Apparently my help
was not so good after all!
Yes, it was. You were wonderful.
I think I know what is wrong...
Counsellor. You OK?
I'm fine. The inhibitor is working.
Have you found anything?
No, nothing unusual.
I don't remember these
from my empathic experience.
Have they always been here?
No. They were installed
two years ago.
Geordi.
I remember seeing a plasma conduit,
right there.
The main ODN line
runs behind that panel.
It lifts out so you can get to it.
Kwan was working on that conduit
the day before he died.
- Can you open it?
- Sure. It'll take just a minute.
Data.
Lt Nara. May I ask you something?
The work Kwan was doing,
was it unusual in any way?
He was refitting a field coil.
It was the first time that panel had
been opened since the ship was built.
Thank you.
No!
Counsellor. Are you alright?
Something happened
when you removed the panel.
There's something in there.
I'm
