: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?
:19:10
We're approaching the shuttlecraft.
The creature is covering it.
:19:15
I lied to you. They came back.
:19:20
- Let me talk with them.
- No!
:19:23
Why? Does the thought of my having
contact with them make you uneasy?
:19:29
No.
:19:30
Not being able to contact you,
not knowing if you are alive,
:19:36
makes them uneasy.
:19:38
Can't you feel how worried they are?
:19:41
Yes.
:19:43
They are worried.
:19:45
They care for you.
You must be very special.
:19:50
We are members of a community.
We all care for one another.
:19:54
Equally?
:19:57
You were really surprised
they came back.
:19:59
Yes.
