tell Data there's
a few days' delay in picking him up.
We have orders to take some medical
supplies to the Taranko colony.
But he's not responding?
Geordi said the probe's radiation
might interfere with communications.
I just thought I'd try anyway.
So when you return from school,
I'll be with the village elders.
- Again?
- Gia.
I know, you're the town magistrate
and you have a lot of work to do,
but it seems
you're always in some meeting or...
Space, the final frontier.
These are the voyages
of the Starship Enterprise.
Its continuing mission,
to explore strange new worlds...
...to seek out new life
and new civilisations...
...to boldly go
where no one has gone before.
Gia, go home. Now!
Who are you?
What do you want?
Who are you? Wha...
What do you want?
What's wrong with you?
What's wrong with you?
There's nothing wrong with me.
Who are you?
What is your name?
Can you understand me?
My name is Garvin.
My name...
...is Garvin.
I thought I told you to go home.
I know.
I...
...do not know my name.
What?
You asked if I knew my name.
I do not.
At least you seem
to be understanding a little more.
Yes.
It is becoming easier.
Ask him where he's from, Father.
Gia, go on to school.
I'll deal with the stranger.
Yes, Father.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Your eyes and skin look so strange.
Your clothes, you look like you've
been in some kind of accident.
I do not remember
being in an accident.
What do you remember?
I walked here. From the mountains.
The mountains? The mountains
are over 200 seltons from here.
I have a clear memory
of my journey.
What do you remember before that?
I have no prior memory.
Do you know what that is?
No.
May I?
- May I have it?
- Yes.
There might be something in here
that can tell us who you are.
I wonder what these markings mean.
- Radioactive.
- What?
- It is written on the container.
- You can read this language?
Evidently.
Radioactive. What does that mean?
I do not know.
Perhaps it is my name.
I never heard a name like that.
You must come from
a very distant place.
Is that supposed to be a question?
Because if you're asking me
if I like it, then yes.
This is a better way
of communicating for you.
It's less confusing
than the way you speak.
I knew I could count on the ship's
Counsellor to boost my self-image!
I'm glad to be of service.
Did you want something,
or just general Riker-bashing?
I wanted to ask your opinion
about something.
I'm thinking of taking the bridge
officer's test, becoming a commander.
What brought this up?
A lot of things. Working on
the personnel review last month,
talking to Beverly
about her experiences,
going to my class reunion.
The class reunion. You saw a few
old friends who had taken the test?
Alright, I admit it was a catalyst.
But I've been thinking about this
off and on for the past two years.
Why two years?
Remember
when we hit that quantum filament
and I was in command on the bridge?
I do.
When that happened,
I was overwhelmed.
But when it was over, I realised
that a part of me missed it.
Not the actual disaster, but
the experience of being in command.
I felt like I was exploring
a whole new side of myself.
I don't want to give up counselling,
but just stretch myself a little.
Deanna, if you take
the bridge officer's test,
you'll have my full support.
But as First Officer, I'll be the one
judging you, and I'm a tough judge.
And I'm a good student.
We'll start tomorrow morning.
0800 hours.
Remarkable set of teeth.
Breath smells like...
It doesn't have any smell actually.
You can close your mouth.
Let's see. Heartbeat sounds
a little odd, but seems very regular.
Skin feels... clammy,
but you say you feel fine?
That is correct.
Headaches, palpitations,
sluggishness, indigestion?
No. But I cannot have indigestion
since I have not eaten.
Malnutrition. You should eat
something to build your strength
and return your vitality. Lots of
meat,
