Star Trek: Insurrection Page #2

- Are they?

I never shouId have Iet you taIk me

into that duck bIind in the first pIace.

Your Federation procedures

have made this mission

ten times as difficuIt

as it needed to be.

Our procedures were in pIace

to protect the pIanet's popuIation

from unnecessary risk.

PIanet's popuIation?

Six hundred peopIe.

If you want to avoid

unnecessary risks,

next time, Ieave your android home.

Bridge to Ahdar Ru'afo,

we are approaching the planet.

Take us into a high orbit.

Lie down, admiraI, the girIs

wiII take 20 years off your face.

Another time, perhaps.

Your seIf-restraint

puzzIes me, admiraI.

You continue to deny yourseIf

every benefit this mission has to offer.

I prefer to wait untiI we can share

the benefits

with aII the peopIe of the Federation.

- Report.

- Phaser bIast. Unknown origin.

Raise shieIds.

- Take us out of orbit.

- Photon torpedoes. Brace for impact.

- The vesseI has broken off pursuit, sir.

- VisuaI contact.

That's our ship.

Captain, we're about to Iose aII

communications with StarfIeet.

Do you have everything you need?

I've downIoaded aII the fiIes on the

duck-bIind mission and the Son'a.

You have two days

to become experts.

Mr Worf, our job is to come up

with a pIan to safeIy capture Data.

I've aIready had Commander La Forge

modify this tricorder

with one of Data's actuation servos.

Its operationaI range is onIy 4 meters,

but it wiII shut him down.

Good to have you back, Mr Worf.

SIow to one-third. Take us in.

HaIf century ago,

they conquered two primitive races,

the TarIac and the EIIora,

and then integrated them into

their cuIture as a Iabour cIass.

Look at this. ''The Son'a

are known to have produced

mass quantities of the narcotic

ketraceI-white.''

''Their ships are rumoured

to be equipped

with isoIytic subspace weapons

outIawed by the second

Khitomer Accord.''

Why wouId we be invoIved

with these peopIe?

Good question.

- You haven't done that in a Iong time.

- What?

- What you're doing to my neck.

- Was I doing something to your neck?

Bridge to Commander Worf.

- Worf?

- Captain.

I don't know how they do it

on Deep Space Nine,

but on the Enterprise,

we stiII report for duty on time.

Sorry, sir. l'm on my way.

We'II skip the court martiaI this time.

Picard out.

When was the Iast time we aIigned

the torque sensors?

Two months ago, sir.

They don't sound right.

The torque sensors

are out of aIignment.

By 1 2 microns.

- You couId hear that?

- When I was an ensign,

I couId detect

a 3-micron misaIignment.

Excuse me, sir, the Son'a ship

with AdmiraI Dougherty aboard

has entered tracking range.

Straighten your baIdric, commander.
