:16:01
- A natural electrical charge?
- Formidable.
:16:04
Yes, and a difficult
weapon to confiscate.
:16:12
I have never seen humanoids with
that power. I wonder how it evolved.
:16:15
The strong magnetic field
of their sun?
:16:18
Could be. I wonder
how much power they produce.
:16:21
- Or if they need to recharge.
- How do I defend against them?
:16:26
- They're a threat?
- I don't know.
:16:28
- But I'd better be ready.
- Precisely, Lieutenant.
:16:41
We have to resolve this.
There isn't much time.
:16:44
What can you offer?
:16:46
Everything we had
was on the Sanction.
:16:49
Then it's going be difficult
to accommodate you.
:16:53
Solar flares increasing. Shields
are shaky but they're holding.
:16:57
Maintain.
:17:01
- How are our quarrelsome guests?
- They're waiting for you, sir.
:17:06
Data, what information can
you give us about the inhabitants?
:17:10
The only recorded contact with
the Delos system was 200 years ago.
:17:15
A scout ship reported
two inhabited planets,
:17:18
one on the verge
of acquiring space travel.
:17:20
Odd, that in two centuries
neither advanced much further.
:17:24
Sir, I find it strange that none
of our visitors feels much remorse
:17:28
about the two passengers
who perished.
:17:31
Yet that cargo is a source
of great anxiety to them.
:17:35
Yes. Let's pay a call, get
some answers. Number One, Mr Data.
:17:39
- La Forge, you have the bridge.
- Aye, sir.
:17:49
Captain, may I present Sobi
and Langor from the planet Brekka?
:17:52
- And T'Jon and Romas from Ornara.
- Sorry we couldn't save your ship.
:17:57
Tell me.
You could have repaired it?
