Oh boy
I am the doctor, you are the patient, you will do as I say and I don't want to hear any argument about it
We're moving in together, my quarters Or maybe Shelby can get us something a little larger
I'm not too sure about the dog though
You'll learn to love the dog
Why is it the only time you're willing to share your feelings with me is when you think I'm asleep or on death's door ?
I get fewer interruptions that way
(Cough)
I love you
I love you darling But right now I really need to see Naros
I don't want you to undergo a lot of stressful questions right now
Henglaar, get me to Naros now !
(Title Music)
I understand the implications Mr McCabe, keep listening for other signals
You're stewing Why are you stewing ?
I should have seen this
Had the fleet rendezvous outside the Patch, follow us in
On impulse it's gonna take half-a-day
Don't start wallowing Stewing's bad enough I can't take them both
Robin, I know you're just trying to lighten the mood
Captain, there is no possible way you could have known We don't even scan for relays until we reach the Patch
It was a brilliant strategy
It was a desperate one
Well it's going to work We won't be able to mount an effective defense to DS-12
And if DS-12 falls ?
It's a whole new ballgame
Penny for your thoughts ?
In some cultures..
You'd get change back, I know
You know ever since you were Lara Mor you..
I've always loved that line, yes
It's been a long time since we made love Dao
But when you, when Cassius had to leave, I knew that we would be together again
Jorian, you're not seriously considering returning ?
Our love has endured 4 hosts between us
Until last night, Jorian had never been with a woman
Was it ever a question ?
When Denir Mor died I became Lara, Kendra Dao had never been with a woman
But within hours of finding each other..
Jorian, don't mistake loyalty for love, you cannot stay in a loveless relationship
How can you say that about Corey and me ?
You don't know Corey, you barely know me
I know that what you feel for Corey Aster is not love, it's obligation and you would allow that obligation to rule your life
What I feel for you, it's not an obligation
When Cassius fled I felt hollow
When you returned I was whole again
Our love is stronger, it's been proven through 3 lifetimes
3 lifetimes of hosts who've been too weak to seek out other experiences and have bowed to their symbiont's desires
Will you be the strong one Jorian ?
Spitting out Trill dogma and sentencing you former lover to an imitation of love
I cannot make you whole Tesla, you'll have to find another way
I cannot be with you
You do not believe that Will you tell Corey ?
Of course, he will understand
You do not believe that either
Will you deny yourself a life with me, and be alone ?
Cassius Dao may have feared that loneliness, I am Jorian Dao. I will not be afraid
My great, strong, scientist Jorian, don't live alone
I will talk to Corey, he will understand, we, we can be as we were
We, can be as we were
Surgant was using some kind of a device in an attempt to record my memories
I am familiar with this device, I am sorry
Naros, this is important. The device actually helped me I was able to blunt Surgant's attack
Thank goodness
She's still talking
He knows how to reach the Dyson Sphere
This is bad news, of course, but it could be worse
She could be dead
Exactly, you managed to survive Surgant
Thanks in no small part to the efforts of these young ladies
Traya, once we get back to DS-12, I'll try to contact your father
He's not at DS-12 ?
He left Starfleet to try and find you The last we heard he was on Cardassia Prime
But, we'll find a way to reach him Traya
Besides your continued well-being, we've managed to thwart Siroc's plans at attaining a working knowledge of Hyper-dimensional Physics
He could be using one of those machines
Exactly. But without Lieutenant Zen, simply knowing the location of the Dyson Sphere gets Siroc nowhere
You've done excellent work Counselor But I think you'd best return to Sickbay
Captain, I'm reading another starship in the vicinity It's the Excelsior
Thank you Faisal Alter course
How many responded to our distress call ?
Only 5 vessels I don't understand
(Johns) The Patch subspace relays have been destroyed
No messages out, no Current beacons for a rescue fleet to navigate their way in, any relief is gonna have to come in on Impulse
I was with the Saratoga near Relay 428, a Breen squadron obliterated the Relay Station. We escaped for now
Admiral, without timely reinforcements..
Shelby's out there somewhere, and she knows the Currents to DS-12 and she has Princess Illiana with her
(Naros) Sorry we couldn't contact you Captain
I came to believe that Siroc had somehow compromised Starfleet security
No apology needed Captain, you were right
Siroc was using Andrew Barrett, under the compulsion of some kind of mind-altering device
We had our own uncomfortable encounter with Siroc's device How did you uncover Barrett ?
We didn't He used him to abduct another officer, Lieutenant Ro
Siroc has Ro Nevin ?
He does
Then Captain, things are far worse than we believed Siroc has the location of the Dyson Sphere as well
He has all the pieces
All the pieces for what ?
To end the universe as we know it
(Henglaar) Myra needs medical attention
Nonsense. I'm fine
Urh
And if you're going up against Siroc, you're going to need me to counter Surgant
I don't know what use that would be Counselor, without the amplification device
I'm the only telepath you have Captain Make a move against Siroc without me..
You are the most irritating, stubborn..
I've always been partial to ornery
Ornery !
I'm staying !
We're staying
Me too
Young lady that is out of the..
Try to get me off this ship I dare you
I double-dog dare you, sir
Naros, Henglaar said my Father isn't even at DS-12 He could be anywhere
Children, this is not a game
Children ?
Captain, if it'll ease your mind I'd like to be transferred to the Excelsior
It does Doctor, thank you And you'll be joining her Lieutenant
We don't need to provide Siroc with yet another bargaining chip, I want to keep you as far away from him as I can
I've compared your logs with theirs and the logs from Cardassia have been tampered with
Mr. Knapp..
If I can get these to the Federation lawyers..
Ian
Traya. She's all that matters
If you're sent back to Cardassia, you'll be killed
I'll talk to Nechayev
Find Traya
I'm sorry to take you away from your ship
Naros is right It'll be safer for both of us here on Excelsior
Have you talked to Corey ?
He'll be busy now, at least until this crisis is over
I'll go, find me
Corey, wait !
I'm late, I thought I'd stop by...I'm late
Corey, when can we sit down and talk ?
I'll find you
Andrew will appreciate your presence
Perhaps you do not appreciate his ?
That isn't fair
You have been unfair with many things since Andrew was lost
(S'Tal) Unfair with others, unfair with yourself
Logically, since Andrew's return, that should change
I see that it has not
Humans aren't logical
That is a simplification
(Klaxon)
Stay (Klaxon)
S'Tal, report to your duty station (Klaxon)
I am at my duty station (Klaxon)
(Klaxon)
We could use the help here Captain
I understand. But with the risk of Siroc, with Ro under his control, using the technology of the Sphere
I hope there is a station for you to return to Captain
And I hope you're there to chastise me Elizabeth
Well we'll see you on the other side then Excelsior out
McCabe see if you can contact the station
We've lost containment of our flank
Tholian squadrons are advancing through our lines
Move the reserve into position
We don't have enough ships
I am not ready to abandon this station
Admiral, incoming message from the Excelsior
Put them through
Admiral, thank goodness..
There is no time Did you bring any others ?
We're sorry Admiral, the subspace beacons..
Have been shut off, we know Illiana ?
She's on board
Get her to the station immediately
We won't be able to lower the shields for transport, you'll have to dock
It will be difficult
We'll be there Shelby out
You heard the Admiral
Fire !
Captain, we've got company
Tholian and Breen ships moving to flank us
Divert power to dorsal-aft shield
(Explosion)
Aft shields are taking a beating Captain
(Explosion)
Aft torpedoes, fire !
(Explosion)
Aft shields at 23% Captain
Robin, what's the maximum safe approach speed ?
Maximum Safe Speed or give-the-dock-master-a-heart-attack Speed ?
Coronary
About 1/2 impulse to 2.5 kilometers
Full Impulse Mr. Wozniak, until my mark
Line her up Lieutenant Pretend it's just another trip to the simulator
Except for the shooting and the screaming
Not helping Commander
(Explosion)
5 seconds to minimum safe distance
Port RCS is sluggish Captain
2 seconds...and...
MARK !
Captain...?
Engineers are always so conservative
(Explosion)
Engineering to bridge ! Port power coupling is damaged ! Attempting to bypass !
ALL STOP Mr. Wozniak
Port RCS thrusters not responding !
(Scraping)
(Screaming)
(Scraping)
(Screaming)
(Collision)
(Sparking)
(Coughing)
Shut down the warp core, secure all moorings
Honestly Ma'am, I don't think we can get any more secure than we already are
That's a nasty piece of equipment you've got there Betras
Just the kind of sadistic thing I would expect from your twisted little mind
Don't try to sweet talk the woman Nevin You'll just make her enjoy the next part more
Let me guess, you're gonna plug that thing in and somehow know everything I know about, what ?
Everything
Just like we used your little friend Andy to infiltrate every security protocol at Starfleet Command
You're going to be my personal Workstation, and solve all manner of Hyper-dimensional problems for me
Let me tell you something Bajoran There is a way to do this that is entirely painless
We won't be using that method
(Agonized Scream)
The time has come to face what we dared not
You're talking about releasing the Grey
I am
Aris will die
Besides releasing those who enslaved my people and destroyed my world, you're asking me to kill my son
I am
I cannot know what you are feeling, but I can imagine
Without the Grey, DS-12 will fall And if we fall, the pocket fold will collapse in a year or ten years, and Aris will be killed
At this point, you are our only hope
(Alarm)
We've lost containment again in sector 815
Move in reinforcements, try to compensate
Illiana
Alynna
Ian, Illiana won't help us
It's time, isn't it ? But we had a good run
I have to get Pelas to safety
This boy isn't a replacement for Traya Ian
I'm not saying he is, but he deserves a chance to clear his name
I'm convinced he wants to help my daughter
Ian, I have thousands to worry about now
I'm sure I could understand how one Cardassian boy might slip away in the confusion
Thank you, Alynna, I'll take care of this myself
And you will be leaving as well ?
I'm like a bad penny Admiral
Mr. Darwin, evacuate the station, rotate vessels in to retrieve personnel and form
What about you Admiral ?
I will be staying behind Assemble a volunteer..
I would like to volunteer to stay Admiral
Captain Johns, you and Commander Darwin will each take command of a vessel to help transport..
Admiral, I won't abandon my post
This is not about your post. And you're not abandoning me This is what I need of you
We have a lot of work to do and we have not much time to do it in
No, I'm commandeering this stuff for the Excelsior, we need every ship we can get
Corey !
What is it Jorian ? I'm trying to get the Excelsior back
Nechayev's ordered it abandoned, there's no time for a repair Come with me, I have a ship assignment for us
That's insane, the Excelsior could be lost
It's out of our hands now
So that's it, you're giving up ? Just giving up on everything we've invested
Corey wait, please, talk to me ? Give me that
I've given you enough
I need you to understand
Here's what I understand, you left me
I did, and I can only imagine how betrayed you must feel but Corey I came back
It won't happen again
Happen again ? Jorian I'm not talking about this thing with your old girlfiend
You left me the day you joined with Dao
Corey, I'm right here, despite my joining with Dao I'm here for you, I know where my loyalties lie
Of all the lives you've lived and you still haven't figured this out ?
Loyalty isn't love, you have to feel as if you can't live without it, love can't be an obligation !
You were more than an item on my To-Do list, I loved you
And then you didn't
Pray don't let it end like this, our time together
Jorian Dao, you are not the man I fell in love with, you need to face that
We, need to face that
This is just the picture I had in my head when I sent Jorian down to Engineering all those years ago Corey
Jenna, I'm sorry, I guess we're causing a scene
Oh don't worry, there's nothing like a titch of domestic strife to brighten up the end of the world
I couldn't help overhearing, and I would like a chance to convince you, that while your relationship, maybe beyond repair
There's a station here that could use a little bit of saving
Are you interested ?
(Public Address) Attention all personnel, evacuate the station, this is not a drill, all personnel to..
I have a priority transfer for this prisoner
Admiral Nechayev notified me already, he's all yours sir
Watch yourself out there
You too Admiral
What's happening ?
Officially you're being transferred to the brig of a ship that's already been lost in battle today
Unofficially I'm giving you the command codes to my ship, and the co-ordinates of a Dyson Sphere in the Patch
Wh.. what ?
Traya's free. She's on another starship. These are the co-ordinates. Go to her Pelas, keep her safe for me
But what about you ?
I have a few things to take care of here Go to her Pelas, I'm counting on you
Isn't that a little like sending a mouse in to help a lion ?
Even a lioness can get a thorn in her paw from time to time
What have you got for me ?
New recruits and a new plan Make Will an offer he can't refuse
And you're just the girl to do it
I understand your concern Doctor, frankly she should never have been allowed to stay on board
Aren't you the Captain ? Isn't that your job ?
You were right, sir. I have a small vessel in this current right ahead, wait it's changing course
He's spotted us. Henglaar, I think you'd be more comfortable in sickbay. This is where it gets interesting
They always say "it's just a ship"
Well what do they know ?
So, not evacuating ?
I can't leave her behind
Not when she can still do some damage
How many left onboard ?
A few stragglers, I may have suggested they disregard the evac order
Aster ?
Some supplies showed up from him, but I think Zen got to him first. They've evacuated I suppose
Can you run it with, what ?
93
93 people ?
Including us
The Tholians won't know what hit'em
Breakout squadron taking heavy damage, pull them back ?
Pull them back and they will all be killed Keep the pressure up, some will survive
Admiral, I'm getting a strange power reading from a new vessel emerging from Hanger 94
Illiana
(Explosion)
I don't have time for this Jenna
Look, all we want is the ship
How you can be so concerned with one girl, my apologies Admiral, when the whole station..
Exactly Commander, we've recently discovered that Traya's alive and is relatively safe with Captain Naros
But the whole station's under attack and could really use whatever it is you've cooked up in your little hobby shack
Commander I wanna go on record, I never told them anything about your hobby shack
And I'm just here because I could never say no to this woman, so if you have something you'd..
Oh he does. Something nasty if I'm right. Which I am
Please Commander, people are dying
It's not that simple
Oh it never is with you
Er look, the Hybrid, we built it, we don't understand it, it, We don't know what it could do, it could kill us all
It might do this, it might do that, let's take it for a spin against overwhelming odds and see what it does
Whaddya say ?
He can't say no to her either
It's a pheromone
Mother ?
I promised you I would save you Aris. You are all that is left of our people. All that is left of me
Mother this is wrong
You are worth the sacrifice And our Federation friends need the Grey
Though it sickens me to think they will take my life like so many of our people
Mother you don't understand
Always remember I love you son. Always
Mother, the Grey, they're hungry !
So we took the hull off a discontinued prototype, put it together with some of the Grey components from that Battleship we took a few years back
Call her Daisy Sue
What's it do ?
Best guess ? Whatever we want it to
You mean you've never flown this ship before ?
Well we've wanted to fly it
You've wanted to, sir, the rest of us have been somewhat more, cautious
Well if there was ever a time to throw caution to the wind
Light'er up, Commander Martinez, let's see what she can do
This is amazing Frightening, but..
Do not allow your guard to drop, Ensign. I want you to contact all of our ships, vector them away from the Grey
If this goes badly..
Admiral, I think it already has
The Grey have run out of Tholians
