There he is! Let's get him.

AdmiraI Dougherty is waiting

He's headed toward the village.

We're trying to stop him.

- Say the greeting again.

- Yew-cheen chef-faw.

Emphasis on the ''cheen''

and the ''faw.''

You either need a new uniform

or a new neck.

''Yew-cheen chef-faw.''

My coIIar size is exactIy

as it was at the academy.

Of course it is.

Our guests have arrived.

They're eating the fIoraI arrangements

on the banquet tabIes.

I guess they don't beIieve

in cocktaiIs before dinner.

Oh, my God. Are they vegetarian?

That's not in there.

Perhaps we shouId have the chef

whip up a Iight baIsamic vinaigrette,

something that goes weII

with chrysanthemums.

- Yew-cheen.

- Chef-faw.

Yew-cheen chef-faw.

- Bridge to Captain Picard.

- Go ahead, ensign.

Command wants to know

our ETA at the Goren system.

The Goren system?

They need us

to mediate some territoriaI dispute.

No, no. We can't deIay the

archaeoIogicaI expedition to Hanoran II.

That'II put us right in the middIe

of the monsoon season.

- Captain.

- Thank you.

The dipIomatic corps is busy

with Dominion negotiations.

Oh, yes. So they need us

to put out one more brushfire.

Can anyone remember

when we used to be expIorers?

Deck 1 0.

Remember, they have a significantIy

Iess advanced technoIogy than ours.

They onIy achieved warp drive

Iast year.

And the Federation CounciI decided to

make them a protectorate so quickIy.

In view of our Iosses to the Borg

and the Dominion,

the counciI feeIs we need

aII the aIIies we can get these days.

Captain on deck.

You'II be expected to dance

with Regent Cuzar.

Can she mambo?

- Very funny.

- The captain used to cut quite a rug.

La Forge to Picard. Captain, l need

to talk to you before the reception.

- Captain.

- Mr Worf.

- Worf.

- What the heII are you doing here?

- I was at the Manzar coIony--

- He's Iate. Can it wait?

- l don't think so, commander.

- Excuse me.

TeII him I'm aIready here. I'II taIk

to him when he arrives. Mr Worf--

Geordi, the captain

wouId Iike you to come up.

Tell him we received a communique

from Admiral Dougherty.

lt's about Data.

Yew-cheen chef-faw, Regent Cuzar.

WeIcome aboard the Enterprise.

Captain Picard, may I weIcome you

in the time-honoured tradition

of my peopIe.

We are so honoured to be accepted

within the great Federation famiIy.

- We have a dance Iater, I beIieve.

- I Iook forward to it.

CounseIIor.

- Nice beadwork.

- Captain. Excuse me. Captain.

Captain, AdmiraI Dougherty is

onboard a Son'a ship in Sector 441 .

He's requesting Data's schematics.

- Is something wrong?

- The message doesn't say.

WeII, Data shouId have

been back by now.

They were onIy scheduIed to observe

the Ba'ku viIIage for one week.

Geordi, wouId you set up

a secure com-Iink

- to the admiraI in the anteroom.

- Aye, sir.

Captain, Hars AdisIo. We met at

the NeI Bato conference Iast year.

Did you ever have a chance

to read my paper

on thermionic transconductance?

WouId you excuse me?

He's not acknowledging

any Starfleet protocol.

He's not responding

to any of our hails.

Have you any idea what precipitated

this behaviour?

None. Now he's holding

our people hostage down there.

The Enterprise couId be

at your position in two days, admiraI.

That's probably not a good idea.

Your ship hasn't been fitted

for this region.

- There are environmental concerns.

- What kind of concerns?

We haven't fully identified

the anomalies yet.

They're calling this whole area

the Briar Patch.

lt took us a day to reach a location

where we could even get

a signal to you.

Just get me Data's schematics.

l'll keep you informed. Dougherty out.

- His emotion chip?

- He didn't take it with him.

- Send the admiraI Data's schematics.

- Aye, sir.

- Yes, sir.

- Ensign, wouId you report to the gaIIey

and teII the chef to skip

the fish course.

- Aye, sir.

- I wouId Iike our guests to depart

as soon as etiquette aIIows.

I'm going to ask Worf to deIay his

return to DS9 so that he can join us.

We're gonna stop by Sector 441

on our way to the Goren system.

- They are in opposite directions, sir.

- Are they?

I never shouId have Iet you taIk me

into that duck bIind in the first pIace.

Your Federation procedures

have made this mission

ten times as difficuIt

as it needed to be.

Our procedures were in pIace

to protect the pIanet's popuIation

from unnecessary risk.

PIanet's popuIation?

Six hundred peopIe.

If you want to avoid

unnecessary risks,

next time, Ieave your android home.

Bridge to Ahdar Ru'afo,

we are approaching the planet.

Take us into a high orbit.

Lie down, admiraI, the girIs

wiII take 20 years off your face.

Another time, perhaps.

Your seIf-restraint

puzzIes me, admiraI.

You continue to deny yourseIf

every benefit this mission has to offer.

I prefer to wait untiI we can share

the benefits

with aII the peopIe of the Federation.

- Report.

- Phaser bIast. Unknown origin.

Raise shieIds.

- Take us out of orbit.

- Photon torpedoes. Brace for impact.

- The vesseI has broken off pursuit, sir.

- VisuaI contact.

That's our ship.

Captain, we're about to Iose aII

communications with StarfIeet.

Do you have everything you need?

I've downIoaded aII the fiIes on the

duck-bIind mission and the Son'a.

You have two days

to become experts.

Mr Worf, our job is to come up

with a pIan to safeIy capture Data.

I've aIready had Commander La Forge

modify this tricorder

with one of Data's actuation servos.

Its operationaI range is onIy 4 meters,

but it wiII shut him down.

Good to have you back, Mr Worf.

SIow to one-third. Take us in.

HaIf century ago,

they conquered two primitive races,

the TarIac and the EIIora,
