:24:00
I'm sure it seems very important
to you,

:24:04
but my situation
is far more critical.

:24:07
I don't think you're aware
of your situation.

:24:10
Or of how much time has passed.
:24:13
I'm fully cognisant
of where I am and when.

:24:17
But I have more to protect
:24:19
than a man in your position
could possibly imagine.

:24:22
No offence meant,
:24:24
but a military career was never
considered to be... upwardly mobile.

:24:29
I must contact my lawyer.
:24:31
Your lawyer's been dead
for centuries.

:24:34
Of course, I know that.
:24:36
But he was a full partner
in a very important firm.

:24:40
Rest assured,
that firm is still operating.

:24:49
That's what all this is about.
:24:52
A lot has changed
in the past 300 years.

:24:54
People are no longer obsessed
with the accumulation of things.

:24:59
We've eliminated hunger, want,
the need for possessions.

:25:04
We've grown out of our infancy.
:25:07
You've got it all wrong.
It has never been about possessions.

:25:11
It's about power.
:25:13
- Power to do what?
- To control your life, your destiny.

:25:19
That kind of control
is an illusion.

:25:23
Really?
:25:25
I'm here, aren't l?
:25:28
I should be dead, but I'm not.
:25:36
What is it?
:25:39
I don't know.
It just started and it won't stop.

:25:44
I keep thinking about my boys.
:25:50
Counsellor Troi, will you report
to the guest lounge?

:25:54
Captain, we are approaching
Science Station Delta 05.

:25:58
Slow to half impulse.
I'm on my way.
