Cmdr Riker!
:10:11
- Commander!
- Yes, Geordi?
:10:14
There's a fissure in the bulkhead.
:10:17
The skin of the ship
is losing its integrity.
:10:20
- Where is it? I can't see it.
- Right there.
:10:26
Geordi, step closer.
:10:35
It looks to me like a spectrograph
indicating metal fatigue.
:10:39
- Is that how you interpret it?
- Very good, Captain. Exactly right.
:10:44
How long before this hull ruptures?
:10:46
It's impossible to be exact.
I'd say five minutes. Probably less.
:10:53
Let's go.
:11:10
Geordi, we've lost transmission.
:11:12
Signal overload.
I'm surprised it lasted this long.
:11:26
We've reached the core, Captain.
:11:29
The life signs are very strong, sir.
They are coming from over there.
:11:33
- Is there any other way around?
- Negative. This is the only way.
:11:37
The safest way to proceed
is for me to cross alone.
:11:40
The heat and toxic gases
have less effect on me.
:11:44
Agreed.
:11:57
Captain, Data's gone ahead.
:11:59
The life signs are from
the far side ofEngineering.
