Captain's log, stardate 41780.2.
:43:15
How difficult after years
oflearning to respect life
:43:19
to be forced to destroy it.
:43:20
But there seems
to be no alternative.
:43:23
Quinn is expected to recover fully.
:43:25
There is no trace of the parasite
which took control ofhim.
:43:29
We'll never know how many of these
life forms infiltrated Starfleet,
:43:33
but it seems they could not survive
without the mother creature
:43:37
which had taken over Cmdr Remmick.
:43:39
It was Dr Crusher's idea
to simulate the gill.
:43:42
It had to fool everyone,
including you.
:43:45
That it did, rest assured.
:43:47
Captain, I have attempted to trace
the message Remmick was sending.
:43:51
I believe it was aimed at
an unexplored sector of our galaxy.
:43:56
Any idea what the message was?
:44:00
- I believe it was a beacon.
- A beacon?
:44:04
Yes, sir.
A homing beacon sent from Earth.
