:18:02
Deanna and Ben are alive
for a reason.
:18:05
It knows that we won't leave
while they're still alive.
:18:09
You're saying its attack on Yar
was part of some tactic?
:18:13
To find out, we have to go back down.
:18:15
I may see something
in the creature that's helpful.
:18:19
Agreed. Prepare an away team.
:18:32
I will remain on the ship.
:18:35
The object is not to engage it
in battle.
:18:38
The goal is the safe return
of Counsellor Troi and Lt Prieto.
:18:43
I can best accomplish this
at the tactical station.
:18:47
Very good. Number One?
:19:13
We're approaching the shuttlecraft.
The creature is covering it.
:19:18
I lied to you. They came back.
:19:23
- Let me talk with them.
- No!
:19:27
Why? Does the thought of my having
contact with them make you uneasy?
:19:32
No.
:19:34
Not being able to contact you,
not knowing if you are alive,
:19:39
makes them uneasy.
:19:42
Can't you feel how worried they are?
:19:44
Yes.
:19:47
They are worried.
:19:49
They care for you.
You must be very special.
:19:54
We are members of a community.
We all care for one another.
:19:58
Equally?
