 Picard:
"Take a look at the containment module our chief
engineer has designed."
Riker: "'Chief engineer.' It still has a nice
ring to it." |
|
|
|
|
 Picard:
"Captain's log, stardate: 42073.1. There has been
an outbreak of unclassified plasma plague in the
Rochellis system. We're on an emergency run to collect
specimens of the deadly plague and transport them to
science station Tango-Sierra where, hopefully, an
antidote can be produced." |
|
|
|
|
 Picard:
"Mr. Data, when we have a complete list of all the
specimens we will be carrying, I want you and
Doctor...uh..."
Data: "Pulaski, sir."
Picard: "Dr. Pulaski. I want you to go
through them."
Data: "Aye, sir."
Picard: "By the way, where is our new doctor. Has
she reported in?"
Riker: "Not yet."
Picard: "Sickbay, this is the captain."
Sickbay: "Sickbay, aye."
Picard: "Is Dr. Pulaski there?"
Sickbay: "Uh, no, sir. The Doctor is in Ten
Forward."
Picard: "Thank you. A few hours on board and
she's already found Ten Forward?"
Riker: "I'll go get her."
Picard: "No...I'll go."
Worf: "Not the best way to meet your new
captain." |
|
|
|
|
 Picard:
"This is Dr. Katherine Pulaski, we'll handle the
formal introductions later. Counselor Deanna Troi is
pregnant...she...is going to have a baby."
Riker: "A baby? This is a surprise."
Troi: "More so for me." |
|
|
|
|
 Riker:
"I don't mean to be indelicate...but, who's the
father?!"
Troi: "Last night, while I slept, something which
I can only describe as a presence entered my body."
Picard: "A life form of unknown origin and intent
is breeding right now inside Counselor Troi." |
|
|
|
|
 Troi:
"Do whatever you feel necessary to protect the ship and
the crew, but know this, I'm going to have this baby."
Picard: "Then it seems that the discussion is
over." |
|
|
|
|
 Picard:
"Captain's log, supplemental. We have finally
arrived at Audett IX where we will pick up the specimens
of plasma plague for transport to Rochellis. It is only
because so many lives are at stake that I am willing to
put this ship and crew at such great risk. Meanwhile,
Counselor Troi's pregnancy continues to progress at an
astonishing rate." |
|
|
|
|
 Picard:
"Audette IX, this is Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the
U.S.S. Enterprise."
Dealt: "Ah, the Enterprise, here at last. Well,
good, let's get going."
Picard: "Excuse me, to whom am I speaking?"
Dealt: "To whom are you speaking? I'm Lieutenant
Commander Hester Dealt, medical trustee, Federation
Medical Collection
Station."
Picard: "Are the specimens ready for transfer?"
Dealt: "Yes, but with your permission, I would
like to inspect the containment area before we proceed.
Now, it's not that I doubt the ability of crew, Captain,
but, we cannot afford a mistake."
Picard: "I appreciate your caution...in the light
vein. I want a complete, detailed manifest of everything
you intend to bring aboard my ship."
Dealt: "Very good. I'll allow you access to my
computer banks, okay?" |

 Dr.
Pulaski: "In my other deliveries, except for a
couple, the father was always present."
Troi: "Difficult under the circumstances."
Data: "Perhaps I could serve in that capacity?"
Dr. Pulaski: "Counselor Troi is going to need the
comfort of a human touch and not the cold hand of
technology."
Troi: "Doctor, I think Commander Data will do
very nicely."
Dr. Pulaski: "Your choice." |
|
|
|
|
 Data:
"Although I understand, in technical terms, how life is
formed, there is still a part of the process which
eludes me. The child inside you; are you able to access
his thought process. Does he have thoughts? You are
aware of him, is he aware of you? When does that
awareness begin?"
Troi: "It's happening..."
Data: "How does it feel?"
Troi: "Data..."
Data: "Yes?"
Troi: "NOW!"
Data: "Now. Now. Now! Doctor! Doctor! DOCTOR!!" |
|
|
|
|
 Data:
"Thank you for allowing me to participate. It was
remarkable!" |
|
|
|
|
 Picard:
"Deanna, I wanted to see how you were and have a look at
your...baby...my goodness...how old is he?"
Dr. Pulaski: "In actuality, a day."
Picard: "Yes, but..."
Dr. Pulaski: "In appearance, almost four Earth
years old."
Troi: "Ian, say hello to Captain Picard."
Picard: "You mean he can talk?"
Ian: "Hello."
Picard: "Hello, Ian."
Ian: "Please don't worry. Everything's okay." |
|
|
|
|
 Picard:
"Captain's log, supplemental. We are faced with two
major problems: Troi's child and the deadly cargo we are
about to take on. In the hours since his birth, Troi's
baby has continued his rapid growth and now appears,
physically and mentally, to be a child of eight. Still,
there is no indication as to who he is or why he is
here." |
|
|
|
|
 Dr.
Pulaski:
"Dah-ta, look at this."
Data: "Data."
Dr. Pulaski: "What?"
Data: "My name, it is pronounced 'Day-ta.'"
Dr. Pulaski: "Oh?"
Data: "You called me 'Dah-ta.'"
Dr. Pulaski: "What's the difference?"
Data: "One is my name. The other is not." |
|
|
|
|
 Ian:
"Have you ever played with puppies?"
Troi: "They had a litter today in the nursery."
Picard: "No, Ian, I don't think I've played with
puppies."
Ian: "You should come to the nursery while the
puppies are still there."
Picard: "Perhaps later." |
|
|
|
|
 Picard:
"Captain's log, supplemental. For reasons as yet
unknown, one of the deadly specimens of plasma plague
has begun to grow." |
|
|
|

 Wesley:
"You never talk about yourself."
Guinan: "Sure I do. All the time."
Wesley: "People say you're very old."
Guinan: "Oh?"
Wesley: "And that you knew Captain Picard when he
was on the Stargazer."
Guinan: "No, I never knew the Captain until I
came onboard."
Wesley: "Well, everyone's very curious about
you."
Guinan: "Yes, I'll bet they are." |

 Troi: "He
is a life force entity. When we passed each other in
space, he was curious about us, so he decided the best
way to learn was to go through the process; to be born,
to live as one of us, and in that way, to understand us.
He never meant any harm."
Riker: "There was a moment when you smiled..."
Troi: "He said 'thank you.' I told him we will
miss him...and I will." |

 Picard:
"Take us out of orbit, Mr. Crusher. Lay in a course for
the Morgana Quadrant."
Wesley: "Yes, sir."
Picard: Ensign Crusher has requested to
remain on the Enterprise."
Riker: "I'm not surprised. How did you respond?"
Picard: "I haven't as yet, Number One, I
didn't think that it was my
responsibility alone. His remaining will create
difficulties for all of us."
Riker: "Yes, indeed. With his mother gone,
who will see to his studies?"
Picard: "Exactly. Of course, that duty will fall
to Commander Data."
Riker: "And who will tuck him in at night?"
Wesley: "Come on, Commander..."
Worf: "I will accept that responsibility."
Troi: "Well, we know he'll get his sleep."
Picard: "Well then, that takes care of the
practical, but, there's more to growing up than that.
You know, it's my belief, Number One, that you're best
qualified to supervise that. Are you willing to serve?"
Riker: "Difficult decision...yes, I can do that."
Picard: "Then, Mr. Crusher, communicate with your
mother at Starfleet Medical Headquarters, give her my
regards, and tell her that you have my permission to
remain on the Enterprise...but, I will abide by her
wishes."
Wesley: "Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. I know she'll
agree." |
