I don't think you understand. 33 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,548 This was all set up in advance. I'm Gloria from Cleveland, 34 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,558 and I was supposed to be on holodeck four at two 35 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,752 and you don't know what I'm talking about, do you? 36 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,430 Not to worry. 37 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,631 Hey!

Who is this man? 55 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,636 Who killed him? Where's the money he was he talking about? 56 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,117 It's... It's a mystery. Now we have to go search for clues. 57 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,232 - Ah! And that's fun? - That's fun! 58 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,471 A '48 Packard with white walls. Damn! I didn't get the licence plate. 59 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,115 Captain Picard? Sorry, there's no Captain Picard here. 60 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,915 Try down at the docks. Ships come in and out every day. 61 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,350 It's alright, Madeline, I'll take it in here. 62 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,950 - Yes, what is it? - Captain, Lt Commander Data here. 63 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,709 Excuse the unusual interruption, but in the circumstances 64 00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:30,038 I thought communicating through the holodeck program less obtrusive. 65 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,550 I appreciate your concern, Data. What can I do for you? 66 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:38,708 Long-range sensors detect a T-tauri star in a pocket of the Ngame cloud. 67 00:04:38,840 --> 00:04:40,512 That's not unusual. 68 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,835 No, sir, but the star's single planet 69 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,635 falls in the M-class range. It is capable of supporting life. 70 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,275 - That is unusual. - Highly, sir. 71 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,472 Thank you. Procedure requires we investigate. 72 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,511 Recall the bridge crew and set a course. 73 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,119 Aye, sir. 74 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,516 I'm... I'm sorry, Gloria, 75 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,633 but there is a 24th-century mystery I have to investigate. 76 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,036 You are very welcome to carry on, if you like. 77 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,709 No. I've had... enough fun for today. 78 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,198 Entering the T-tauri system now, Captain. 79 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,552 Sensors show an energy fluctuation in our path. Source unknown. 80 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,270 Still picking up energy distortions, but fading. 81 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,834 - It seems to be gone. - A wormhole. 82 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,999 Very likely. Extremely unstable wormholes have been mapped 83 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,635 near 39 T-tauri systems in the last 100 years alone, sir. 84 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,797 I suggest we move to a safer location. It could reappear. 85 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,514 Agreed. Take us on a course... 86 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:48,595 Captain! 87 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,678 Space, the final frontier. 88 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,075 These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. 89 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,239 Its continuing mission... to explore strange new worlds... 90 00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:41,795 ..to seek out new life and new civilizations... 91 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,869 ..to boldly go where no one has gone before. 92 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,510 - Captain. - Data. 93 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,596 Careful, Captain. 94 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,235 The stun effect from the wormhole was relatively severe. 95 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,148 Apparently so. How long were we unconscious? 96 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,032 Approximately 30 seconds. 97 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,869 I have scanned the ship and detected no serious crew injuries. 98 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,797 - You were not affected? - No, sir. 99 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,673 My positronic system is immune to the effect. 100 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,759 This is the third wormhole I have passed through with Starfleet. 101 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,236 - First, aboard the USS Trieste... - Thank you, Mr. Data. 102 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,550 Where the hell are we? 103 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,595 .54 parsecs from our last position. Almost a day's travel in 30 seconds! 104 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,154 Sir, I should realign the ship's clock 105 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,068 with Star base 410's signal to adjust for the time distortion. 106 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,875 - Proceed. - This is Crusher in sickbay. 107 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,151 - Go ahead, Doctor? - I have reports of minor injuries. 108 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,795 - What's happened? - We just jumped through a wormhole. 109 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,957 Apparently we were all unconscious for 30 seconds. 110 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,832 Is everybody alright? 111 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:54,114 - There's little or no damage here. - Acknowledged. Crusher out. 112 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,399 Ship's status? 113 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,959 Reports coming in. Nothing serious so far. 114 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:05,154 La Forge here. Impulse engines and warp drive appear unaffected. 115 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,477 Shields and weapons systems are fully functional. 116 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,548 Counsellor, are you alright? 117 00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:15,355 I think so. I'm feeling a bit unfocused. 118 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:18,836 It'll pass. 119 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,113 Well, not too bad, all things considered. 120 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,994 We're lucky we're not across the galaxy in the middle of next week! 121 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,154 That was never actually a possibility. 122 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,637 The wormhole's size and short period would make this a local phenomenon. 123 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:39,754 There's still the anomalous M-class planet. Do we go back? 124 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:44,112 The unpredictability of the wormhole makes investigation hazardous. 125 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,198 A probe launched from here would be better. 126 00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:49,834 Make it so. 127 00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:01,673 Nothing broken, but those ligaments have been twisted pretty severely. 128 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,234 What on earth were you doing when you fell? 129 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:09,150 Hanging a plant for Keiko, a running project to give me a green thumb. 130 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:10,349 How is it working? 131 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,314 Everything I touch seems to turn brown and wither away. 132 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:20,231 Alyssa, would you get me...? Never mind, I'll get it. Don't go away. 133 00:10:32,560 --> 00:10:35,120 This isn't possible! 134 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,389 - Alyssa? - Yes, Doctor? 135 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,430 Did you see anyone near the lab today? 136 00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:53,879 No, I didn't. 137 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,629 You didn't adjust the environments on the incubators? 138 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,469 I'd never touch your experiments unless you asked me to. 139 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,512 Of course not. I'm sorry. Thank you. 140 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,228 Probe approaching the T-tauri system. 141 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:14,839 Readings, Data? 142 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,953 Coming in now, sir. The probe is within visual range of the planet. 143 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,832 On screen. 144 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,871 Sensors indicate a hydrogen-helium composition 145 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,231 - with a frozen helium core. - Wait a minute. 146 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:33,995 Sensors indicated a class-M planet before we went through the wormhole. 147 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,636 It is possible they were affected by interference from the wormhole. 148 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,638 It is clearly not a class-M planet. 149 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,991 Run a diagnostic to make sure the wormhole didn't damage the sensors. 150 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:47,870 Aye, sir. 151 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,276 - Ensign, take us back on a course... - Captain. 152 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:52,276 Problem? 153 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:57,520 It's strange a malfunctioning sensor gave such a specific misreading. 154 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,838 A time-space disturbance would cause more confusion than that. 155 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,475 The sensors may have picked up the after-image of a planet 156 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,591 on the other side of the wormhole. 157 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:12,032 We could survey nearby stars for such a planet. It would take six days. 158 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,869 No, we don't have time.
