Star Trek: Insurrection Page #3

Synopsis: While on a mission to observe the peaceful Ba'ku race, Lt. Commander Data suddenly behaves as if having to fear for his existence. The immortal Ba'ku, whose planet offers regenerative radiation and therefore incredible lifespans, live in harmony with nature and reject advanced technology. Their planet and their culture is secretly researched by the Federation associated with an alien race called the Son'a. But the Son'a intend to abduct the Ba'ku in order to take the planet for themselves and for the Starfleet officials who all would like to regenerate their bodies. But they did not think of the loyalty of Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Enterprise-E to the Prime Directive.

On screen.

Captain, l wasn't expecting you.

This is too important for the Enterprise

to be on the sideIines, admiraI.

l wish l had better news.

Commander Data attacked us

in a mission scout ship yesterday.

Ru'afo and l have decided

to send in an assault team.

Commander Worf and I are working

on severaI tacticaI pIans to save--

Your android has turned

dangerousIy vioIent, captain.

ConsiderabIe damage

was done to my ship.

He must be destroyed.

l know what Data means to Starfleet,

Jean-Luc,

but our crew is at the mercy

of those people on the planet.

If our first attempt

to capture Data faiIs...

...I wiII terminate him.

I shouId be the one to do it.

I'm his captain...

...and his friend.

All right.

You have 1 2 hours, captain,

then l want you out

of the Briar Patch.

ln the meantime, we'll head out

to the perimeter to call

for Son'a reinforcements,

in case you fail.

Understood.

Good luck, captain.

Dougherty out.

Sensors are not picking up any ships

coming from the surface.

Transmit a wide-band covariant signaI.

That ought to get his attention.

He must be using the pIanet's rings

to mask his approach.

The metaphasic radiation of

the rings is in a state of extreme fIux.

We'II steer cIear of those.

Come out, come out

Wherever you are

- Sir?

- It's something that my mother--

HoId on.

Open aII haiIing frequencies.

Data, this is Captain Picard.

Data, please respond.

If we fire tachyon bursts, it might force

him to reset his shieId harmonics.

When he does,

we can beam him out.

Make it so.

Direct hit.

He is resetting his shieId harmonics.

Beam him out.

He has activated

a transport inhibitor.

Prepare to enter the atmosphere.

We'II use the ionospheric boundary

to shake him.

Scanners are off-Iine.

Evasive manoeuvres.

Heading 1 -4-0, mark 3-1 .

He can fIy a ship.

He can anticipate tacticaI strategies.

CIearIy, his brain is functioning.

We've seen how he responds

to threats.

I wonder how he wouId respond--

Mr Worf, do you know

GiIbert and SuIIivan?

No, sir, I have not had a chance

to meet aII the new crew members

since I have been back.

They're composers, Worf.

From the 1 9th century.

Data was rehearsing a production

of H.M.S. Pinafore just before he Ieft.

A British tar

ls a soaring soul

As free as a mountain bird

His energetic fist

should be ready to resist

A dictatorial word

Sing, Worf, sing.

- His nose should pant

- And his lip should curl

- His cheeks should flame

- And his brow should furl

- His bosom should heave

- And his heart should glow

And his fist be ever ready for a--

Knockdown blow

- His nose should pant

- And his lips should curl

His cheeks should flame
