	FADE IN:

1    EXT. SPACE - THE ENTERPRISE (OPTICAL)

	The ship is moving at warp speed.

2    INT. MAIN BRIDGE

	DATA is working at the aft science station. PICARD and
	RIKER are standing nearby, WORF is at Tactical, and
	ENSIGN RAGER is at Con. The monitor at the science
	station shows an Okudagram of a subspace radio wave.

					DATA
				(working)
			I have identified the signal,
			Captain. It is from the U.S.S.
			Jenolan, a Federation transport
			ship reported missing in this
			sector seventy-five years ago.

	Riker looks at the monitor.

					RIKER
			Code one alpha zero. Ship in
			distress.

          STAR TREK: "Relics" - REV. 8/6/92 - TEASER 2-2A.             

2    CONTINUED:

					PICARD
				(to Rager)
			Bring us out of warp, Ensign.
			All stop.

					RAGER
				(works)
			Aye, sir.

	The ship is suddenly ROCKED and the alert status goes
	to YELLOW. Picard, Riker, & Data move toward their
	stations.

					PICARD
			Report.

					WORF
			We have entered a massive
			gravitational field.

	They all react with surprise.

					DATA
				(works)
			There are no stars or other
			stellar bodies listed on our
			navigational charts. However,
			sensors indicate the presence of
			an extremely strong gravitational
			source in this vicinity.

					PICARD
				(to Worf)
			Can you localize the source of
			the gravity field?

	Worf works his console.

          STAR TREK: "Relics" - REV. 8/5/92 - TEASER 3-3A.             

3    INCLUDE VIEWSCREEN (OPTICAL)

	The viewer displays a starfield with a large dark ball
	at the center. At this distance, it appears as smooth
	as a billiard ball, but because it is so dark it's hard
	to discern anything else.

	Everyone is mystified by this strange object.

					RIKER
			Sensors?

					DATA
			I am having difficulty scanning
			the object. However, it would
			appear to be approximately two
			hundred million kilometers in
			diameter.

	Picard and Riker react with astonishment.

					RIKER
			That's nearly the size of Earth's
			orbit around the sun.

					PICARD
			Why didn't we detect it before
			now?

					DATA
			The object's enormous mass is
			causing a great deal of
			gravimetric interference. That
			might have prevented our sensors
			from detecting the object before
			we dropped out of warp.

	A beat as they all look at this strange object on the
	screen. Suddenly, a look of wonder comes across
	Picard's face... he might have found something hitherto
	only imagined.

					PICARD
			Mister Data, could this be a...
			Dyson Sphere?

					DATA
				(thinks)
			This object does fit the general
			parameters of Dyson's theory.

					RIKER
			A Dyson Sphere?

           STAR TREK: "Relics" - 8/4/92 - TEASER           3A.

3    CONTINUED:

					DATA
				(thinks)
			There is no comparative data,
			Captain. However, this object
			does fit the general parameters
			of Dyson's theory.

					RIKER
			A Dyson Sphere?

         STAR TREK: "Relics" - REV. 8/6/92 - TEASER         4.

3    CONTINUED:

					PICARD
			It's a very old theory, Number
			One. I'm not surprised you
			haven't heard of it. A twentieth
			century physicist, Freeman Dyson,
			postulated that an enormous hollow
			sphere could be constructed around
			a star. This would have the
			advantage of harnessing all the
			radiant energy of the star. A
			population living on the interior
			surface would therefore have a
			virtually inexhaustible source
			of power.

					RIKER
			Are you saying there might be
			people living in there?

					DATA
			Possibly a great number of people,
			Commander. The interior surface
			area of a sphere this size would
			be equivalent to more than two
			hundred fifty million class M
			planets.

					WORF
			Sir. I have located the distress
			signal. It is coming from a point
			on the northern hemisphere.

	Picard thinks for a beat.

					PICARD
			Ensign Rager, take us into
			synchronous orbit above that
			position.

	Rager works.

                                             CUT TO:

4    EXT. SPACE - ENTERPRISE & SPHERE (OPTICAL)

	The ship is nearing the Sphere. At this range, the
	monstrous object looks like a giant WALL in space,
	which stretches o.c. Where before, the sphere appeared
	perfectly smooth, we can now make out intricate
	patterns on the surface suggesting construction
	supports, but again we're too far away to make out
	anything distinct.

         STAR TREK: "Relics" - REV. 8/6/92 - TEASER         5.

5    INT. MAIN BRIDGE

	As before. Everyone watching the viewscreen.

					RAGER
			We are holding relative position
			at thirty thousand kilometers
			above the surface.

					DATA
				(off console)
			I have found the Jenolan,
			Captain. It has impacted on the
			surface of the sphere.
				(works)
			There are no life signs.
			However, there are several small
			power emanations... and life
			support is still functioning at
			minimal levels.

	Riker looks to Picard, who thinks for a moment... then
	nods.

					RIKER
				(to com)
			Bridge to Engineering. Geordi,
			meet me in Transporter Room Three.
				(to Worf, on the move)
			Mister Worf.

	Worf and Riker EXIT.

5A   EXT. SPACE - THE JENOLAN (OPTICAL)

	The transport ship has made a crash landing on the
	surface of the sphere. There should be some damage
	visible, but not so much that the ship would be
	incapable of later flight.

6    INT. JENOLAN (OPTICAL)

	The Ops center is fairly small with a modest command
	area at one end and an engineering console at the
	opposite end. Off to one side is a two-man Transporter
	stage and control panel. The ship's technology and
	design should be noticeably older than the Enterprise
	and should reflect outdated engineering methods and
	philosophy.

           STAR TREK: "Relics" - 8/4/92 - TEASER           5A.

6    CONTINUED:

	The lights are DIM and there doesn't seem to be any
	equipment working at present. One or two of the
	consoles are damaged or burnt out, and the bulkheads
	look smashed and broken.

	Riker, Worf, and GEORDI MATERIALIZE. They immediately
	begin to look around.

         STAR TREK: "Relics" - REV. 8/6/92 - TEASER         6.

6    CONTINUED: (2)

					RIKER
				(reacts to smell)
			The air's pretty stale.

					GEORDI
				(off tricorder)
			Life support is barely operating.

					RIKER
				(to Worf)
			See if you can increase the oxygen
			level.

	Worf nods and moves to one of the consoles. Geordi's
	tricorder leads him over to the Transporter console.

					GEORDI
			Commander.

	Riker moves over to take a look.

					GEORDI
			The Transporter is still
			on-line... it's being fed power
			from the auxiliary systems.

					RIKER
				(off console)
			The rematerialization subroutine
			has been disabled.

					GEORDI
			That's not all... the phase
			inducers are connected to the
			emitter array... the override
			is completely gone... and the
			pattern buffer's been locked into
			a continuous diagnostic cycle.

					RIKER
			This doesn't make any sense...
			locking the unit in a diagnostic
			mode just sends inert matter
			through the pattern buffer. Why
			would anyone want to --

	Geordi suddenly sees something on the console.

					GEORDI
			There's a pattern still in the
			buffer.

            STAR TREK: "Relics" - 8/4/92 - TEASER            7.

6    CONTINUED: (3)

					RIKER
				(shocked, off console)
			It's completely intact... less
			than point zero zero three
			percent signal degradation. How
			is that possible?

					GEORDI
			I don't know... but I've never
			seen a transporter system
			jury-rigged like this.

	They both look at the monitor for a shocked beat.

					RIKER
			Could someone... survive in a
			Transporter buffer for
			seventy-five years?

	Beat.

					GEORDI
			I know a way to find out.

	Riker thinks for a beat... then nods. Geordi works
	the console for a moment... then activates a final
	control...

7    ANGLE ON TRANSPORTER STAGE (OPTICAL)

	An OLD-STYLE TRANSPORTER EFFECT begins... a figure
	wavers in the beam for a moment... finally solidifies
	and CAPTAIN MONTGOMERY SCOTT MATERIALIZES in front of
	a shocked Riker & Geordi.

                                             FADE OUT.

                         END OF TEASER

	FADE IN:

           (NOTE: Episode credits fall over opening scenes)            

8    INT. JENOLAN OPS CENTER

	Continuous action from the Teaser. Riker and Geordi
	are staring at Scott on the Transporter stage. Scott
	looks a little woozy... unsure of his bearings, then
	he seems to shake it off and he moves toward them with
	a plan of action. His left arm is in a sling and he
	has one or two cuts and bruises visible.

					SCOTT
			Thank you, Lads.

	He quickly steps to the Transporter console and they
	make room for him.

					SCOTT
				(working on console)
			We've got to get Franklin out of
			there.

					GEORDI
			Someone else's pattern is still
			in the buffer?

					SCOTT
			Aye. Matt Franklin. We went
			in together.
				(off console)
			Something's wrong... one of the
			inducers has failed...
				(to Geordi)
			Boost the gain on the matter
			stream.

	Geordi works a nearby console.

					SCOTT
				(to console)
			Come on, Franklin... I know
			you're still in there...

	He works for another beat... then his face falls as he
	sees something on the console.

           STAR TREK: "Relics" - 8/4/92 - ACT ONE           8A.

8    CONTINUED:

					SCOTT
			It's no use... his pattern's been
			degraded by fifty-three percent...
			he's gone.

					RIKER
			I'm sorry.

	Scott wearily runs a hand across his face.

					SCOTT
			So am I... he was a good lad...

	After quiet beat, Riker moves forward to break the
	moment.

         STAR TREK: "Relics" - REV. 8/6/92 - ACT ONE         9.

8    CONTINUED: (2)

					RIKER
			I'm Commander William Riker from
			the starship Enterprise.

	Scott's weary face lights up at this and he breaks into
	a wide smile.

					SCOTT
			The Enterprise... I shoulda known.
			And I'll bet it was Jim Kirk
			himself who hauled the old girl
			out of mothballs to come looking
			for me.
				(shakes his hand)
			Captain Montgomery Scott. How
			long have I been missing?

	Riker exchanges a look with Geordi.

					RIKER
			Well...

					WORF'S VOICE
			Sir.

8A   NEW ANGLE

	as Scott turns around at the sound of Worf's voice.
	Scott stares at him with unabashed shock.

					WORF
				(continuing, to Riker)
			I have restored life support.
			The oxygen levels will return
			to normal shortly.

	Worf notices that Scott is staring at him.

					RIKER
				(introducing)
			Captain Scott... Lieutenant Worf.

					SCOTT
				(shocked)
			Lieutenant?

					WORF
				(simply)
			Yes.

           STAR TREK: "Relics" - 8/4/92 - ACT ONE           10.

8A   CONTINUED:

					RIKER
				(gently)
			Captain Scott... perhaps there
			are a few things we should talk
			about.

	Off Scott's reaction...

                                             CUT TO:

9    EXT. SPACE - ENTERPRISE & SPHERE (OPTICAL)

	The ship next to the mammoth sphere.

10   INT. TRANSPORTER ROOM (OPTICAL)

	Riker, Worf, Scott and Geordi MATERIALIZE on the
	Transporter stage. There is a N.D. TRANSPORTER
	TECHNICIAN at the controls. Scott is fascinated by
	everything he sees here... like a kid in a new and
	unimagined candy shop. The other three step off the
	platform, but Scott stays behind and looks up at the
	overhead Transporter machinery.

					RIKER
				(on the move toward the
				 door)
			We should probably get you to
			Sickbay. Doctor Crusher will be
			able to...

	Riker trails off as he realizes that Scott isn't with
	them. They turn around and see Scott peering up at
	the ceiling.

					SCOTT
				(quietly)
			You've changed the resonator
			array... only three phase
			inverters...

	Riker smiles a little and turns to Geordi.

					RIKER
				(quiet)
			Geordi, I think our guest is going
			to have a lot of engineering
			questions...

           STAR TREK: "Relics" - 8/4/92 - ACT ONE           11.

10   CONTINUED:

					GEORDI
				(grins)
			I'll take care of him, sir.

	Riker glances at Scott again and then he & Worf EXIT.
	Scott has now moved to the bank of optical data chips
	set into the wall. He pulls off the covering panel
	and scrutinizes the interior. Geordi is a little
	concerned, but doesn't stop him as Scott pokes around.

					SCOTT
				(shocked)
			What have ye done to the duotronic
			enhancers?

					GEORDI
			Those were replaced with isolinear
			chips about forty years ago. It's
			a lot more efficient now.

	Scott begins to reach in and move something, but
	Geordi stops him.

					GEORDI
			Uh... be careful there. That's
			an EPS power tap.

					SCOTT
			Ah.

	Geordi closes the panel and then gestures to the doors
	as they head for the corridor.

					GEORDI
				(on the move)
			You were saying earlier that you
			were on your way to the Norpin
			Colony when you had a warp engine
			failure...

	They EXIT to the Corridor.

11   INT. CORRIDOR - CONTINUOUS

	Scott and Geordi ENTER from Transporter Room and head
	down the corridor. Scott's eyes are continually
	scanning every inch of the corridor. Occasionally he
	stops to examine something.

        STAR TREK: "Relics" - REV. 8/7/92 - ACT ONE        11A.

11   CONTINUED:

					SCOTT
				(on the move)
			That's right. We had an overload
			in one of the plasma transfer
			conduits. The Captain brought
			us out of warp... we hit some
			gravimetric interference and then
			there it was, as big as life...
				(points at something
				 on the wall)
			Is that a conduit interface?

        STAR TREK: "Relics" - REV. 8/7/92 - ACT ONE        12.

11   CONTINUED: (2)

					GEORDI
			Yeah. Uh, big as life... the
			Dyson Sphere, right?

					SCOTT
				(amazed)
			Aye. An actual Dyson Sphere.
			Can you imagine the engineering
			skills needed to even design such
			a structure...

					GEORDI
			I know... it's pretty amazing.
			What happened when you first
			approached it?

	They move down the corridor toward a Turbolift.

					SCOTT
			We began a standard survey of the
			surface. We were just completing
			the initial orbital scan when our
			aft power coils suddenly exploded.
			The ship got caught in the
			sphere's gravity well... and down
			we went.

           STAR TREK: "Relics" - 8/4/92 - ACT ONE           13.

11   CONTINUED: (3)

	Scott's face clouds over a little as he recalls the
	crash.

					SCOTT
			Franklin and I were the only ones
			to survive the crash...

					GEORDI
			What made you think of using the
			Transporter pattern buffer to stay
			alive?

					SCOTT
			We didna have enough supplies to
			wait for a rescue... so I had to
			think of something.

					GEORDI
			But locking it into a diagnostic
			cycle to keep the signal from
			degrading... and cross connecting
			the phase inducers to provide
			a regenerative power source...
			it's brilliant.

					SCOTT
				(sadly)
			I'm afraid it was only fifty
			percent brilliant... Ensign
			Franklin deserved better.

	Geordi tries to shift the subject back to something
	Scott can get excited about.

					GEORDI
			I think you're going to like the
			twenty-fourth century, Mister
			Scott. We've made some pretty
			incredible advances in the last
			eighty years.

	This does perk Scott up a little as they ENTER the
	Turbolift.

					SCOTT
				(looks around)
			Aye... from what I can see you've
			got a fine ship here, Mister La
			Forge... a real beauty. In fact,
			I must admit to being a little
			overwhelmed.

12   INT. SICKBAY

	Scott is sitting on one of the biobeds and BEVERLY is
	running a medical device over his injured arm. His
	bruises are already gone. Geordi is nearby.

					BEVERLY
			You've had a hairline fracture
			of the humerus.
				(shuts off device)
			It'll ache for a few days, but
			it should be fine.

					SCOTT
			Thank you.
				(with a smile, to
				 Geordi)
			Well, I'll say this for your
			Enterprise... the doctors are a
			fair sight prettier.

					PICARD
			I'm Captain Jean-Luc Picard.
			Welcome aboard the Enterprise,
			Captain Scott.

					SCOTT
			Thank you, sir -- and call me
			Scotty.

					PICARD
			How are you feeling?

					SCOTT
				(looks at Beverly)
			I don't know. How am I feeling?

					BEVERLY
				(she closes tricorder)
			Other than a couple of bumps and

					SCOTT
				(joking, to Picard)
			I don't feel a day over a hundred

					PICARD
			I must say I was more than a
			little surprised when Commander
			Riker informed me you were aboard
			the Jenolan. Our records didn't
			list you as one of their crew.

	Scott's smile fades just a little.

					SCOTT
			I wasn't actually a member of the
			crew. I was just a... passenger.
			I was heading for Norpin Five to
			settle down and enjoy my...
			retirement.

					PICARD
			I see. Well, I would very much
			enjoy the opportunity to discuss
			your career at some point.
			History is one of my hobbies and
			I'm sure you have some fascinating
			insights into the events of your
			time.

					SCOTT
			I'd be happy to.

					PICARD
			Good. I look forward to it.
				(to Geordi)
			Commander, we need to begin a full
			spectrographic analysis of the
			Dyson Sphere.

					GEORDI
			I'll get right on it, sir.

					PICARD
				(to Scott)
			Again, welcome aboard, Captain.

			Captain... The first thing

	Geordi intercedes before Scott can protest.

			We're pretty busy right now,

					SCOTT
				(resigned)
			Aye.

			Good Lord, man... where have you

					KANE
				(concerned)
			These are standard guest quarters,

					SCOTT
			Bigger? In my day, even an

			on a starship. I remember a time
			when we had to transport the

			quarters like that...

	Kane smiles politely.

					KANE
			The Holodecks, Ten Forward, and

			Uh, excuse me, sir... but I have

	-- BARTEL -- while gesturing to an Okudagram of the
	Dyson Sphere on the monitor.

					GEORDI
				(to Bartel)
			I want you to shut down the warp
			engines and recalibrate the aft
			sensors while I work on the

					BARTEL
			Aye, sir.

	Bartel walks away. Geordi goes back to work on the
	terminal. A few beats pass and then Geordi hears the
	following from o.c.:

					BARTEL'S VOICE
			Can I help you, sir?

					SCOTT'S VOICE
			I don't think so Lass, but I'll
			let you know if you can.

	Geordi moves to look around the corner and is surprised
	to see Scott moving toward the warp core, accompanied
	by a concerned Bartel. (Scott is now wearing an
	Enterprise Combadge).

	Scott is looking at the pulsing warp core with real
	pleasure and affection on his face.

					BARTEL
			Sir, this area is restricted to

					GEORDI
			I'll handle it, Bartel.

	Bartel acquiesces and leaves. Geordi is a little
	uncomfortable here. He didn't expect Scott to just
	show up like this. Scott is slowly walking around the
	warp core, taking everything in.

					GEORDI
			Captain Scott, this... really
			isn't a good time --

					SCOTT
			We're in Engineering. Call me
			Scotty.

					GEORDI
			Scotty... this really isn't a good

			I'm not here for a tour, Lad.
			I'm here to help.

	Geordi is surprised and it shows.

18   INT. MAIN ENGINEERING

	Scott and Geordi are working at the pool table.
	Scott's attitude is cheerful and excited, but in his
	effort to be helpful he's really straining Geordi's
	patience. (In the b.g., the warp core is OFF.)

					GEORDI
				(to N.D. Engineer)
			Adjust the frequency
			stabilization on the main
			deflector dish. It's out of synch
			with the aft sensors.

	Scott sees something on the pool table and he talks to
	Geordi over part of the above.

					SCOTT
				(over above)
			Laddie, ye need to phase-lock the
			warp fields within three percent
			or they'll become unstable.

					GEORDI
				(distracted)
			What?

					SCOTT
				(works console)
			Here. The warp field is --

	But as soon as Scott touches the controls, the pool
	table suddenly sounds an ALARM in response to his
	action. Geordi quickly moves to correct the situation.

					GEORDI
			We use a multi-phase
			auto-containment field now...
			it's meant to operate above three
			percent.

	Scott seems rattled for only a moment and he quickly
	recovers.

					SCOTT
			Ah. Well... that would make all
			the difference.

	Bartel calls to Geordi from near the dark warp core.

        STAR TREK: "Relics" - REV. 8/5/92 - ACT TWO        24.

18   CONTINUED:

					BARTEL
			We can re-start the engines in
			ten minutes, Commander.

					GEORDI
			Thank you.

	Bartel goes to work.

					SCOTT
			I remember a time when the old
			Enterprise was spiralling in
			toward Psi two thousand... the
			Captain wanted to try a cold start
			of the warp engines. I told him
			that without a proper phase-lock
			it would take at least thirty
			minutes...

	An N.D. Engineer comes up to Geordi with a padd as
	Scott continues with his story.

					GEORDI
				(to Engineer)
			Huh? Oh, thanks.

					SCOTT
				(moving o.c.)
			"You canna change the laws of
			physics" I said... but of course
			he wouldn't listen so we had to
			come up with a new engine start-up
			routine...

	As Geordi studies the padd and tries valiantly to do
	his job, Scott moves off toward the warp core.

					SCOTT'S VOICE
				(o.c.)
			Do you know that your dilithium
			crystals are about to fracture?

	Geordi looks up at this and then hurries over to the
	warp core. Scott has opened the dilithium chamber at
	the center of the core and is examining the dilithium
	crystals with a critical eye.

        STAR TREK: "Relics" - REV. 8/5/92 - ACT TWO        25.

18   CONTINUED: (2)

	Geordi's patience is starting to wear thin at this
	point.

					GEORDI
				(shutting the drawer)
			We recomposite the crystals while
			they're still inside the
			articulation frame. I'd like
			to explain everything, but the
			Captain wants this
			spectrographic-analysis done by
			thirteen hundred hours.

	Geordi goes into his office to work. Scott watches
	him for a moment, then goes in and quietly moves to
	Geordi.

					SCOTT
			Would you mind a little advice?

	Geordi doesn't really want advice, but he holds his
	tongue.

					SCOTT
			Starship captains are like
			children. They want everything
			right now and they want it their
			way... the secret is to give them
			what they need, not what they
			want.

	Scott's paternalistic attitude is really rubbing Geordi
	the wrong way and the advice itself goes completely
	against Geordi's personality.

					GEORDI
			I told him I'd have that analysis
			done in an hour.

					SCOTT
				(conspiratorially)
			And how long will it really take
			you?

			An hour.

				(shocked)
			Ye didna tell him how long it was

					GEORDI
				(irritated)
			Of course I did.

					SCOTT
			Oh... Laddie. You've got a lot
			to learn if you want them to think
			of you as a miracle worker.
			You've got to --

	But Geordi's patience has just run out and he rounds
	on Scott.

					GEORDI
			Look, sir. I've tried to be
			patient, I've tried to be polite.
			But I've got a job to do here.
			And you're... in the way.

	Scott's own temper starts to flare, and other people
	turn and stare as his voice rises.

					SCOTT
			I was driving starships while your
			great grandfather was still in
			diapers. I'd think you'd be
			grateful for a little help.

	But Geordi's had enough of this and he turns away from
	Scott in exasperation so he can return to his work.
	Scott takes that as an insult.

					SCOTT
			Then I'll leave ye to work, Mister
			La Forge.

	And with that, Scott storms out of Engineering. Almost
	as soon as he leaves, Geordi regrets the incident, but

					TROI
			I'm glad you're comfortable.

			But I was actually more interested

					SCOTT
			How I feel?

					TROI
			Yes. It would be perfectly normal
			to feel disoriented, confused or
			even frightened following the kind
			of extraordinary experience you've
			just had.

					SCOTT
			I suppose it's been... a little
			bewildering, yes.

	An awkward pause as Scott wonders where all this is
	going and Troi tries a different tack.

					TROI
			I'm sure you have a lot of
			questions about what's happened
			over the last seventy-five
			years... if you'd like, I could
			help you access some of our
			historical records... maybe you
			could discover what happened to
			your family... or friends.

	Scott pulls back at this suggestion.

					SCOTT
			I'm... not ready for that just
			yet. It's a hard thing to realize
			that everyone ye once knew is
			probably...

	He trails off as he suddenly realizes what tone this
	conversation is taking. He looks at Troi with
	suspicion.

	Scott gets to his feet, annoyed at this entire affair.

					SCOTT
			You're damned right I'm not. And
			I don't need a ship's counselor,

			Aye, Lad. Scotch. Neat.

	The Waiter goes to the replicator and presently returns

					SCOTT
			Synthehol?

			Yes. It is an alcohol substitute

	Data bends down and reaches under the bar... then

					GEORDI
			This Transporter is almost

			I'll bet you two bottles of scotch
			that they're inside the sphere...
			and that they went in right
			through that hatch.

					GEORDI
			No bet here. The question is,
			how?

					SCOTT
			Look at the momentum distribution
			of the ions... it would take an
			impulse engine at full reverse
			to put out a signature like that.

					GEORDI
			So they didn't go in willingly.

	Geordi examines the diagram for a moment, then points
	to something.

            STAR TREK: "Relics" - REV. 8/5/92 - ACT FOUR            53.

47   CONTINUED:

					GEORDI
			This looks like some kind of
			communications array.

					SCOTT
			Aye. We found hundreds of them
			when we did our initial survey
			seventy-five years ago.

					GEORDI
			Did you try hailing them?

					SCOTT
			Sure. That was standard
			procedure in my day. We did it
			right before we crashed.

					GEORDI
				(thoughtfully)
			Hailing is standard procedure
			today, too...

	Geordi trails off and it's clear that he's onto
	something here. Scott looks at him in curiosity.

            STAR TREK: "Relics" - REV. 8/6/92 - ACT FIVE            54.

47   CONTINUED: (2)

					GEORDI
			Scotty, what if these aren't
			communications arrays... what
			if they're access terminals...
			which are triggered by subspace
			signals on certain frequencies...

	Scott catches on quickly.

					SCOTT
			Frequencies like our standard
			ship's hail.

					GEORDI
			Exactly. When the Enterprise
			saw this terminal they probably
			did the same thing you did
			seventy-five years ago -- opened
			a channel. Only this time it
			triggered something which
			activated that hatch and pulled
			the ship inside the sphere.

					SCOTT
			A nice bit of reasoning, Lad...
			very nice indeed.

	Geordi flashes a smile of thanks, but they've still got
	a problem.

					GEORDI
			We could trigger the hatch, but
			we'd probably be pulled in like
			they were.

	They think for a moment, and then Scott suddenly gets a
	twinkle in his eye and turns to Geordi with a grin.

					SCOTT
			Maybe all we need to do is get
			our foot in the door.

               STAR TREK: "Relics" - 8/4/92 - ACT FIVE             54A.

47   CONTINUED: (3)

	Geordi looks puzzled, but Scott is suddenly animated
	and full of energy... and for the first time, he's like
	the Scotty we remember.

					SCOTT
			If we trigger the hatch with a
			subspace transmission, we might
			not be pulled inside if we keep
			our distance from the sphere --
			say a half million kilometers.
			Then, when the hatch starts to
			close again, we move in, and use
			the Jenolen to jam the hatch open
			and hope the Enterprise can
			escape.

47   CONTINUED: (4)

	Geordi looks at him as if he's gone completely mad,
	but Scott is already moving toward the engineering
	consoles and starting to work.

					GEORDI
			You can't be serious. That hatch
			is huge. It could crush this ship
			like an egg.

					SCOTT
			The shields will hold Lad, don't
			you worry about that. I know how
			to get a few extra gigawatts out
			of these babies.

	Geordi puts his foot down.

					GEORDI
				(firm)
			Scotty. This is crazy. I am not
			going to let you---

	But Scott will not be denied so easily. He turns to
	Geordi and his face is a mixture of conviction and
	entreaty.

					SCOTT
			Geordi. I've spent my whole life
			figuring out how to make crazy
			things work.
				(beat)
			I'm telling you... one engineer
			to another... I can do this.

	There is a moment as they look at each other... and
	Geordi searches his own heart and instincts for what
	to do. Finally, he makes the decision.

					GEORDI
			All right. Let's do it.

	Scott smiles, and then, united in purpose, they turn
	to the consoles.

49   INT. JENOLEN

	Scott and Geordi are at the controls.

					GEORDI
			We're at five hundred thousand

	Geordi takes a deep breath... then plunges ahead.

					GEORDI
			Okay. Here we go.

	He works the console.

50   EXT. SPACE - THE SPHERE (OPTICAL)

	The hatch SLIDES OPEN as seen earlier. From around

52   EXT. SPACE - THE SPHERE (OPTICAL)

	The pilot beams fail to grasp onto anything... and

	They both work the controls.

54   EXT. SPACE - THE JENOLEN & SPHERE (OPTICAL)

	The Jenolen moves into the middle of the doorway as the
	hatch is closing and then STOPS. Suddenly the hatch
	encounters the DEFLECTOR SHIELD of the Jenolen and the
	hatch STOPS. (The shield is only visible when it hits

			Photon torpedoes loaded.

57   INT. JENOLEN

	As before. The ship is falling apart... SHAKING
	badly... consoles starting to SPARK and EXPLODE... the
	lighting is FLICKERING... and the engine noise is a
	SHRIEK of overworked metal.

					SCOTT
				(a shout)
			It's coming apart, Lad. I can't

63   INT. CORRIDOR

	Scott and Geordi are walking toward the shuttlebay.
	For once, Scott is listening to Geordi tell a tall tale
	and they're both in good spirits.

					GEORDI
			So, this alien space 'baby'--
			which was about the size of a
			four-story building -- really
			thought the Enterprise was its
			mother.

					SCOTT
			You're pulling an old man's leg.

					GEORDI
			No, really. It was 'suckling'
			power directly from the ship's
			fusion reactors... so Doctor
			Brahms and I changed the power
			frequency from twenty-one
			centimeters to point-oh-two
			centimeters...

					SCOTT
				(catching on fast)
			You soured the milk.

					GEORDI
			That's right.

	They both laugh and then a slight touch of sadness
	comes over him.

					SCOTT
			Enjoy these times, Geordi. You're
			the chief engineer of a
			starship... it's a time of your
			life that'll never come again...
			and once it's gone... it's gone.

	A long quiet beat.

			I have a better idea.

	He indicates the doors and then they both EXIT to the
	Shuttlebay.

64   INT. SHUTTLEBAY - CONTINUOUS

	Geordi and Scott ENTER from the Corridor. Scott is
	surprised by what he sees.

65   NEW ANGLE

	Revealing Picard, Riker, Worf, Beverly, Troi, and Data
	all standing next to a LARGE SHUTTLECRAFT. Scott is
	stunned as he looks over the gleaming ship.

					SCOTT
				(shocked)
			You're giving me one of your
			shuttles?

					PICARD
			Call it... an extended loan.
			Since you lost your ship while
			saving ours, it seemed only fair.

				(re: shuttle)
			It's not much to look at...

			Lad, every woman has her own

			Thank you, sir. For everything.

	Everyone says goodbye and Scott shakes hands with
	several of them before he and Geordi move off to the
	shuttle for a final moment. Scott glances back at the
	others.

					SCOTT
			They're a good crew.

					GEORDI
			Yeah.

	Scott looks around the shuttlebay.

					SCOTT
			And she's a fine ship... a credit
			to her name.

	There's a moment between the two of them... they shake
	hands... and Scott gets into the shuttle.
