:17:01
She only wanted to get to Troi.
:17:04
She was killed in a senseless act.
:17:09
Lt Yar's death
is very painful for all of us.
:17:12
We must try to deal with it for now.
:17:14
Until the shuttle crew
is safely back aboard,
:17:18
our feelings will have to wait.
Understood?
:17:25
Lt Worf, you are now
Acting Chief of Security.
:17:29
I will do my best, sir.
:17:31
Doctor, how are the shuttle crew?
:17:33
We're receiving faint life signs,
but the readings fluctuate.
:17:37
They may not be accurate.
:17:39
Armus is capable of creating
undefined force fields.
:17:42
We cannot communicate or use
the transporter, unless it allows it.
:17:47
A creature against whom
we seem to have no defence.
:17:51
- Number One?
- It's on that planet waiting for us.
:17:55
It killed Tasha, and it could've
killed us, but it didn't.
:17:59
Deanna and Ben are alive
for a reason.
:18:01
It knows that we won't leave
while they're still alive.
:18:06
You're saying its attack on Yar
was part of some tactic?
:18:10
To find out, we have to go back down.
:18:12
I may see something
in the creature that's helpful.
:18:16
Agreed. Prepare an away team.
:18:29
I will remain on the ship.
:18:32
The object is not to engage it
in battle.
:18:35
The goal is the safe return
of Counsellor Troi and Lt Prieto.
:18:39
I can best accomplish this
at the tactical station.
:18:44
Very good. Number One?
