normal size. As you can see, the cellular damage is quite extensive. Based on interstitial transparency and membrane integrity, I do not believe it is an infection or a communicable disease. I see. At the moment, I am looking for a common event or experience that Gia, Garvin and Skoran may have shared that could have a causal relationship to their illness. They've lived here many years and have many common experiences. Yes. But since the illness struck all three in a short period of time, we must assume the experience is recent and unusual. Actually, Jayden, encountering you has been the most unusual experience they've shared recently. I am aware of that. Excuse me. I am also open to the possibility that I may be the causal factor. However, since you have had much contact with me and show no sign of sickness, I tend to discount myself. Still, it has to be more than just a coincidence that shortly after you arrived, people started to become ill. I agree. Jayden, I tried to give Father his broth, but he won't eat. You have a fever. You should be in bed. No, I'm alright. Father needs me. Talar is correct. You should rest. I will attend to your father. Gia, when did you begin wearing that pendant? Two days ago. Father bought it from Skoran. Why? May I see it? This is one of the metal fragments I sold to Skoran. The secondary plasma vent... ...has a triple redundant bypass. Which means that the primary access junction... ...is routed through... Come in. ...would be routed through the port transducer matrix. Come to give me more encouragement? No. I'm here to tell you that I've decided to cancel your test. What?! - I'm cancelling the test. - May I ask why? You've taken engineering three times. You're no closer to passing. Then I'll take it four times. Or 14 times. Or however many times it's necessary for me to get it right! Deanna... this is nothing personal. Not everyone is cut out to be a bridge officer. - I don't think this is for you. - Why? Because I'm not the most technically minded person on the ship? I may have trouble telling a plasma conduit from a phase inducer, but there's more to being a bridge officer than memorising manuals. There is. You could memorise all the manuals in the computer. I still don't think you'd pass. Tell me one thing, is there a solution? Or is this simply a test of my ability to handle a no-win situation? - There is a solution. - Then give me time to find it. I can't. As much as I care about you, my first duty is to the ship. I cannot let any bridge officer serve who's not qualified. I'm sorry. "My first duty is to the ship." The ship! Computer, load bridge officer's test, engineering qualification. - Computer ready. - Run program. The primary containment control system is not functioning. The conduit to the antimatter storage deck is severed. Geordi... ...could you repair the conduit if you went into the crawlspace? Sir, that crawlway is in a warp-plasma shaft. - He would not survive the radiation. - I know that. Geordi, could you repair the conduit? Yeah. I think I could. Then do it. That's an order. End simulation. Something told me you wouldn't let this go. Congratulations. You passed. That's what this was about, to see if I'd order someone to their death. That's right. That was part of being in command I thought I'd prepared for. But when the moment came, I hesitated. Maybe you were right, maybe I'm not cut out for this. You did exactly what you had to do. You considered all your options and then you made the hard choice. Come on. Let's get out of here, Commander. I have coated this piece of cloth with the liquid used in lamps. The cloth becomes luminescent when it is exposed to an energy source. This pendant also appears to be an energy source. But... where is this pattern of light coming from? I believe a stream of particles is emanating from the ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Преступление в Раю на английском - текст Гамсун на английском - текст Водитель для Веры на английском - текст Звёздный путь: Возмездие на английском - текст Чайковский на английском |
