 Riker:
"Its Aldea Captain, it has to be."
|
|
|
|
|
 Picard:
"Captain's log, stardate 41509.1. Either by chance or
intent we've been led to the planet Aldea which appeared
out of nowhere, hidden behind a sophisticated shielding
device." |
|

|

 Worf:
"Captain!"
Picard: "Data, what do you read?"
Data: "Some sort of scanning device Sir."
Picard: "Don't touch him!"
LaForge: "This beam is emanating from Aldea."
Picard: "Shields up. La Forge, contact Commander
Riker. Worf, check all decks."
 Yar:
"Shields inoperable, sir."
Data: "All decks being probed in a methodical
pattern, sir."
Picard: "All decks? Everything? The entire ship?"
Data: "Aye, sir."
LaForge: "I can't reach the Commander. We're
being blocked."
(The beam vanishes)
Picard: "Wesley, are you all right?"
Wesley: "It was scary at first, but I really
didn't feel anything."
Worf: "Sir, similar incidents all decks...but
only with the children." |
|
|
|
|
 Worf:
"Captain, saucer section reports six more children are
gone."
Riker: "It's the children...that's why we've been
brought here. That's what they wanted."
Picard: "And that's what they have." |
|
|
|
|
 Picard:
"Captain's log, supplemental. We remain in orbit around
Aldea. Its becoming all to evident that talk will not
effect the return of our children. We must neutralise
the Aldean shield, until then we're helpless." |
|
|
|
|
 Radue:
"Captain, if you don't accept our terms the Enterprise
will be pushed so far away that by the time you return
your children will be grandparents." |
|
|
|
|
 Picard:
Captain's log, stardate 41512.4. We are 20 hours away
from Aldea and no closer to a solution. Their deliberate
show of force pushed us out of orbit and could have
easily disintegrated the ship." |
|
|
|
|
 Picard:
"Captain's log, supplemental. It has been three days
since the Aldeans pushed us away, we have had no contact
with Radue since then." |
|
|
|
|
 Dr.
Crusher: "Chief Medical Officer's log, stardate
41512.9. I've begun to suspect that whatever is killing
the Aldeans is related to a danger faced by Earth in the
21st Century. Can it be that Aldeans ozone layer has
been weakened?" |
|
|
|
|
 Dr.
Crusher: "You are all suffering from radiation
poisoning. Sterility is only the latest symptom. If the
children remain they will be affected as well."
Radue: "That's impossible. Our scientists
would've known."
Dr. Crusher: "How could they? Your scientists
have forgotten how everything works!" |
|
|
|
|
 Picard:
"The legend will die, but the people will live."
Troi: "And we know they'll make good parents." |
