I found my Reman brothers. They showed me the only kindness I've ever known. - This is all to liberate the Remans? - The single thought behind all I've done. From secretly building the Scimitar to assembling my army. Finally coming to Romulus, in force. I knew they'd never give us freedom. - I would have to take it! - But how many Romulans died for it? Too many. But finally the Empire is realising that there is a better way. And that way is peace. - You don't trust me. - I have no reason to. You have every reason. If you had lived my life, and experienced the suffering of my people, you'd be standing where I am. If you'd lived mine, you'd understand my responsibility to the Federation. I cannot allow my personal feelings to unduly influence my decisions. All I have are my personal feelings! I want to know what being human means. The Remans gave me a future. - You can tell me about my past. - I can tell you about mine. - Were we Picards always warriors? - I think of myself as an explorer. Well, were we always explorers? I was the first Picard to leave our system. It caused quite a stir in the family, but I'd spent my youth... Looking at the stars, dreaming about what was up there, about... New worlds. I'm trying to believe you. If there is one ideal the Federation holds most dear, it is that all men, all races, can be united. What better example? A Starfleet captain standing in the Romulan Senate. Nothing would make me more proud than to take your hand in friendship. In time. When trust has been earned. - Sir, the main computer was accessed. - Source? It'll take time to figure out. The data stream was re-routed all over the ship. - What was accessed? - That's what I can't figure out. It's mostly basic stellar cartography: Star charts, protocols, colony uplinks. - It's not even restricted material. - We must still learn the source. Captain, there's something else. I was reviewing the sensor logs. Look! When the Scimitar de-cloaked, there was a spike in the tertiary EM band. You're not going to believe this. It's Thalaron. - I thought Thalaron radiation was theory. - That's why initial scans missed it. He's got it. Research was banned in the Federation because Thalaron is biogenic. It can consume organic material at the subatomic level. I can't overestimate the danger of Thalaron radiation. A microscopic amount could kill all of us in seconds. Understood. I want to know what he has and how we can neutralise any threat. I need options. This was a mistake. We're wasting time. My time. And I'll spend it how I choose. Do not forget our mission, Shinzon. We must act. Now! We'll return to the Scimitar. I was merely curious about him. Come. Come in. Remember him? - He was a bit cocky as I recall. - He was a damned fool. Selfish. Ambitious. Very much in need of seasoning. He turned out all right. I really wanted to believe Shinzon. But this Thalaron radiation just can't be explained away. Whatever he's after, it isn't peace. Is he very much the way you were? Oh, yes. - Data to Captain Picard. - Go ahead. We have identified the source of the unauthorised computer access. We have found a tactical advantage. On my way. Will? As ship's counsellor, I recommend you get some sleep. Some honeymoon! Come to bed. Imzadi. Imzadi. He can never know you as I can. He can never touch you as I can. - This isn't real! - Feel my lips. I'm with you, Imzadi. I'll always be with you now. - This isn't real! - What is it? - No! - Deanna? - Deanna! - No! The bond has been broken. Find her again. We've received the transponder signal. It's accelerating. You have no more time for games. Have the doctors prepare. Transport. Begin the download. Tea, hot. Aside from elevated levels of adrenalin and serotonin, you're perfectly normal. Deanna, can you describe it? It was... It was a violation. Shinzon's viceroy seems able to reach ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Шерлок Холмс и доктор Ватсон: Знакомство на английском - текст Хорошие парни носят чёрное на английском - текст ...И правосудие для всех на английском - текст Интердевочка на английском - текст Ночь зайца на английском |
