Star Trek: Insurrection Page #6

FuII impuIse.

ManifoIds can't handIe fuII impuIse

in the Patch, commander.

If we don't outrun them, the manifoIds

wiII be the onIy thing Ieft on this ship.

I'II be in Engineering.

Red aIert! AII hands! BattIe stations.

And have you noticed how your b*obs

have started to firm up?

Not that we care about such things

in this day and age.

Thank you, Data.

I have an odd craving for the bIood

of a Iive KoIar beast.

This environment

must be affecting me again.

And have you noticed how

your b*obs have started to firm up?

Not that we care about--

Take cover!

IsoIinear tags.

The transporters can Iock on to them.

We have to find sheIter.

There's a cavern at the base

of the next hiII.

This way.

ShieIds at 60 percent!

Engineering to bridge.

We're burning deuterium down here!

We're gonna bIow ourseIves up.

We won't need any heIp

from the Son'a.

What's inside that nebuIa cIuster?

Cometary debris,

pockets of unstabIe metreon gas.

- We don't want to go in there, sir.

- Yes, we do.

I'II take it from here, ensign.

It's time to use the Briar Patch

the way Brer Rabbit did.

Inside the caves! QuickIy!

Everyone! This way!

Inside.

DefiniteIy feeIing

aggressive tendencies, sir.

They've detonated an isoIytic burst!

A subspace tear is forming!

On screen.

I thought subspace weapons were

banned by the Khitomer Accord.

Remind me to Iodge a protest.

Our warp core is acting

Iike a magnet to the tear.

We're puIIing it Iike a zipper

across space.

Options?

We couId eject the core.

- WiII that stop the tear?

- You got me, commander.

That's your expert opinion?

Detonating the warp core

might neutraIize the cascade.

Then again, it might not.

Subspace weapons are unpredictabIe.

That's why they were banned.

Tear is cIosing on us.

Impact in 1 5 seconds.

- Eject the core.

- I just did.

Impact in ten seconds.

Detonate.

Get me a medic over here!

It worked, commander!

The tear has been seaIed.

Yeah, but there's nothing to stop

them from doing it again.

And we're fresh out of warp cores.

We're stiII 36 minutes

from transmission range, sir.

We're through running

from these bastards.

Another 43 reported taken, sir.

Captain, they're trying to drive us out

so their drones can tag us.

With aII the hydrothermaI vents

in the substrata,

the structuraI integrity of this cavern

is not going to hoId for Iong.

- Is there another way out of here?

- I don't know.

Captain, tracking the water's course

may reveaI another exit.

Mr Worf, come with us.

I am reading a nitrogen-oxygen fIow

behind that caIcite formation, captain.

WiII this structure hoId

if we were to bIast through?

I beIieve it is safe, sir.

Fire.

Get everybody into those caves.

And set up force fieIds

once they're inside.

Aye, sir.

Geordi, are those pockets

of metreon gas?

Yes, commander. HighIy voIatiIe.

- I recommend we keep our distance.

- Negative.

I want to use the ramscoop

to coIIect as much of it as we can.

- The purpose being?

- The purpose being,

I intend to shove it

down the Son'as' throats.

Commander, if one of their weapons

hits that gas--

It's our onIy way out of here,

Mr DanieIs.

I wouIdn't be surprised if history

caIIs this the Riker Manoeuvre.

If it works.

Computer, access

manuaI steering coIumn.

Transfer heIm controIs to manuaI.

Bridge, storage cells

are at maximum capacity.

They're powering

their forward weapons array, sir.

BIow out the ramscoop.

Stand by. FuII thrusters.

Ramscoop released.

Captain.

Data, Troi,

keep these peopIe moving!

Bring them out!

I suspect it won't be Iong

before the drones get here.

Keep moving.

Keep moving.

They found caves on higher ground.

We'II be safe there.

Captain, take a Iook

at this med-scan.

His DNA profiIe.

How can that be possibIe?

Maybe we shouId ask them.

Artim, what are you doing? Come.

- Is this the Iast group?

- Yes, sir.

Get them ready to move out.

- We need to hurry.

- Anij went to find Artim.

- Go with TourneI!

- No! I want to stay with you.

It is safer there, go!

- Worf to Picard.

- Two Iife signs.

One of them extremeIy faint.

There are aImost 4 metric tons

of rock bIocking our way.

No. That might cause

another cave-in.

Anij?

Anij?

Worf to Picard.

Yes. Yes, I can hear you.

We are trying to get to you, sir.

Anij?

HeIp is on the way.

Worf, hurry.

Anij is hurt.

How bad is she, captain?

I'm Iosing her.

We're coming as fast as we can.

Anij...

...stay with me.

HeIp me find the power

to keep you in this moment.

Stay with me.

She's stabiIizing.

Is it safe to move her?

Safer than Ieaving her here.

And you thought it wouId take

centuries to Iearn.

Order them to surrender, and I

promise you won't be court-martiaIed.

If a court martiaI is the onIy way

to Iet the peopIe of the Federation

know what is happening here,

I weIcome it.

The Enterprise has destroyed

one of my ships!

The other is on fire,

requesting assistance.

The Enterprise

wouId onIy fire to defend itseIf.

Ru'afo must have ordered the attack.

I can't beIieve he wouId have given that

order without your consent, admiraI.

I wonder which of us

wiII be facing that court martiaI.

There is nothing further

to be gained from this.

You're right.

This is going to end now.

The Ba'ku want to stay on the pIanet?

Let them.

- I'm going to Iaunch the injector.

- You're not going to Iaunch anything.

In six hours, every Iiving thing

in this system wiII be dead or dying.

You wouId kiII your own peopIe,

Ru'afo?

Your own parents? Brothers, sisters?

Didn't you know, admiraI,

the Son'a and the Ba'ku

are the same race.

Picard just toId us.

Our DNA is identicaI.

Which one were you?

GaI'na? Ro'tin?

Those names, those chiIdren,

are gone forever.

What's he taIking about?

A century ago,

a group of our young peopIe

wanted to foIIow the ways

of the offIanders.

They tried to take over the coIony,

and when they faiIed--

When we faiIed,

you exiIed us to die sIowIy.

You're Ro'tin, aren't you?

There's something in the voice.

WouId you be his friend GaI'na?

I heIped your mother bathe you

when you were a chiId.

She stiII speaks of you.

You brought the Federation into

the middIe of a bIood feud, admiraI.

The chiIdren have returned

to expeI their eIders,

just as they were once expeIIed.

Except that Ru'afo's need for revenge

has now escaIated into parricide.

It was for the Federation.

It was aII for the Federation.

We're taking this ship out of here.

This mission is over.

- It is not over.

- It is over!

I do not take orders from you.

If you Iaunch the injector

whiIe the pIanet's stiII popuIated,

- the Federation wiII pursue you untiI--

- The Federation...

...wiII never know

what happened here.

AdmiraI Dougherty

wiII not be joining us for dinner.

DepIoy the coIIector.

Do you have a probIem

with that order?

May I taIk to you aIone?

- DepIoy the coIIector.

- Yes, sir.

Moving them is one thing.

KiIIing them aII?

No one hated them

more than you, GaI'na.
