your crew
have to die?
Shinzon, I don't think
I ever told you...
about my first
Academy evaluation.
In particular, I was thought
to be extremely...
...overconfident.
Captain, as much as I enjoy
listening to you talk,
I really think...
On my mark, Deanna.
All hands, brace for impact.
Engage.
Hard to port!
Divert all power to the engines.
Full reverse.
No!
Reconfiguring now.
Computer, stand by auto-destruct
sequence Omega.
Recognize voice pattern
Jean-Luc Picard.
Authorization:
Alpha-Alpha-3-0-5.
Auto-destruct is off-line.
Disruptors are not functional,
sir.
Deploy the weapon.
Kill everything on that ship.
Then set a course for Earth.
We must complete our mission.
Matrix initiated.
Sequencing procedure
for thalaron radiation
transfer...
activated.
Some ideals are worth dying for,
aren't they, Jean-Luc?
Thalaron intermix procedure
initiated.
Deployment of targeting arms
commencing.
How long until he can fire?
The targeting sequence
should take
about seven minutes, Captain.
When the targeting arms
are fully deployed,
the matrix on the Bridge
will relay
the thalaron radiation
to the firing points
at their tips.
No one on the Enterprise
will survive.
How can he?
He'll kill you.
It's not about me anymore.
Prepare
for a site-to-site transport.
Captain, I don't think
that the transpor...
That's an order, Commander.
Sir, allow me to go.
Data, this is something
I have to do.
- Sir...
- Data.
You have the Bridge, Commander.
Try and put some distance
between you and the Scimitar.
Now, Mr. La Forge.
Aye, sir.
That's it.
Transporters are down.
The system is fused.
Counselor Troi,
please assume command.
Geordi, come with me.
Thalaron intermix level...
30 percent.
Four minutes to firing sequence.
Thalaron intermix level,
50 percent.
Three minutes
to firing sequence.
Thalaron intermix level,
60 percent.
Two minutes to firing sequence.
Thalaron intermix level,
80 percent.
I'm glad we're together now.
Our destiny's complete.
One minute to firing sequence.
Thalaron intermix level
completed.
30 seconds to firing sequence.
Good-bye.
Ten, nine, eight, seven,
six, five, four, three...
Data?
Captain...
It's Data.
Captain, we're being hailed.
On screen.
Open a channel.
This is Commander Donatra
of the Valdore.
We're dispatching shuttles with
medical personnel and supplies.
Thank you, Commander.
You've earned a friend
in the Romulan Empire today,
Captain.
I hope the first of many.
Valdore out.
Geordi, prepare the shuttlebay
for arrivals.
They, uh, they don't
know our procedures.
Just open the doors.
I'll take care of it, Captain.
You have the Bridge, Number One.
Thank you.
To absent friends.
To family.
First time I saw Data,
he was leaning against a tree
in the holodeck
trying to whistle.
Funniest thing I ever saw.
No matter what he did,
he couldn't get
the tune right.
What was that song?
Can't remember the song.
Come.
Will.
Permission to disembark, sir.
Granted.
So... where's the Titan
off to?
The Neutral Zone.
We're heading up
the new task force.
Apparently the Romulans
are interested in talking.
Well, I can't think of
a better man for the job.
If I may, just a word of advice
about your first command?
Anything.
When your First Officer
insists that you can't
go on away missions...
Ignore him.
I intend to.
Serving with you
has been an honor.
The honor was mine, Captain.
I don't know if all this
has made any sense,
but I wanted you to know
what kind of man he was.
In his quest to be more like us
he helped us to see
what it means to be human.
My...
my brother was not human?
No, he wasn't.
But his wonder,
his curiosity about every facet
of human nature
allowed all of us
to see the best parts
of ourselves.
He evolved.
He embraced change
because he always wanted to be
better than he was.
I...
I do not understand.
Well, I hope someday you will.
Captain, the warp engines
are ready
