...but then I said

"In that frame of reference,
the perihelion of Mercury

would have precessed
in the opposite direction."

That is a great story.

Quite amusing, Dr. Hawking.

You see, Sir Isaac

the joke depends
on an understanding

of the relativistic curvature
of space-time.

If two non-inertial reference
frames are in relative...

Do not patronize me, sir.

I invented physics.

The day that apple
fell on my head

was the most momentous day
in the history of science.

Not the apple story again.

That story is generally
considered to be apocryphal.

What?! How dare you?!

Perhaps we should return
to the game, hmm?

Now, let's see, where were we?

Yes, you raised Mr. Data four

which means that,
um, the bet is...

seven to me?

The bet is ten.

Can't you do simple arithmetic?

I don't even know
why I'm here in the first place.

What is the point
of playing this ridiculous game?

When I play poker
with my shipmates

it often appears to be
a useful forum

for exploring the different
facets of humanity.

I was curious to see how three
of history's greatest minds

would interact in this setting.

So far, it has proved
to be most illuminating.

And profitable.

Can we get this over with,
please?

It's your bet.

I raise 50.

Blast! I fold.

I fold as well.

The uncertainty principle
will not help you now, Stephen.

All the quantum fluctuations

in the universe will not change
the cards in your hand.

I call.

You are bluffing,
and you will lose.

Wrong again, Albert.

Well...

Hmm.

Red Alert.

All personnel
report to duty stations.

We will have to continue this
another time.

End program.

We've received a distress call
from the Ohniaka III outpost.

They said
they were under attack.

Ohniaka III?

There's no strategic value
to that outpost.

Were they able to identify
the attackers?

No. We haven't been able
to raise them

since the initial contact.

We are entering
the Ohniaka System, sir.

Bring us out of warp, Ensign.

Aye, sir.

Sensors detect one ship
orbiting the third planet.

Its configuration does not match
anything in our records.

Stand by phasers
and photon torpedoes.

Hail them, Mr. Worf.

No response, sir.

Put them on screen.

It does not appear

to be attacking the outpost,
sir.

They might have attacked
before we got here.

Or they might simply be
another victim.

What about the outpost?

There is a great deal
of electromagnetic interference.

I am unable to determine

whether there are
any life-forms present.

Worf, Data, you're with me.

These wounds were caused
by a forced-plasma beam

similar to a Ferengi
hand phaser.

This looks brutal,
even for the Ferengi.

Any sign of the survivors?

Electromagnetic interference
is still making it difficult

to get a precise reading.

How many people were assigned
to this outpost?

Two hundred and seventy-four.

All right, we're going
to need to do

a room-to-room search.

Worf, you and Corelki
start searching the north wing.

You and I'll take the south.

Aye, sir.

Mechanism appears
to be jammed, sir.

There's not much damage.

Doesn't look like they
were interested in the station...

just the people.

I have bypassed
the primary system.

Space, the final frontier.

These are the voyages
of the Starship Enterprise.

Its continuing mission...

to explore strange new worlds

to seek out new life
and new civilizations

to boldly go
where no one has gone before.

Evasive maneuvers, Ensign.

Return fire.

Shields down to 80%.

Compensating
with auxiliary power.

You have killed Torsus.

I will make you suffer for this.

Biological organism... Klingon.

Biological organism... human.

Stop it.

Stop.

Stop! Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Artificial life-form.

Starfleet rank...
Lieutenant Commander.

Name... Data.

Captain, the alien ship
is breaking orbit.

Plot an intercept course,
Ensign.

Fire torpedoes.

They're gone, sir.

Our sensors indicate

there was some kind
of subspace distortion

just before they disappeared.

I'll have to study
these readings

before I can get
any more specific than that.

Take us back to Ohniaka III.

Aye, sir.

Data?

Data, are you all right?

Yes, sir.

What happened?

I got angry.

Captain's Log, Stardate 46982.1.

Because of his unusual behavior
on the planet's surface

Commander Data has asked to be
temporarily relieved of duty.

Unfortunately, this means
he will not be able

to help us investigate
a disturbing new change

in the behavior of the Borg.

They were fast, aggressive,
almost vicious.

It was more like fighting
Klingons... than Borg.

No offense.

None taken.

There was another difference.

I don't believe they were part
of the Borg collective.

I think they were
acting as individuals.

What?

One of them referred
to himself as "I."

And that Borg showed concern
for a fallen comrade.

He even called him by name.

The only Borg who had
a name was Hugh

and we gave it to him.

Maybe Hugh has something to do

with this change
in their behavior.

Did they show any interest

in assimilating you
or your technology?

They seemed more concerned

with the death
of their colleague

and with destroying us.

I didn't see anything
that suggested

they wanted
to assimilate anybody.

The Borg's entire existence
was centered

around acquiring cultures
and technology.

If that's changed

then they must
have a new objective.

We have to find out what it is.

Mr. Worf, from this moment on

I want to maintain
a level-2 security alert.

Post armed officers
on every deck.

Aye, sir.

Number One,
I want you to analyze

our sensor readings
of the Borg ship.

Try to determine if it was
something they constructed

or an alien ship
that they captured.

Then run an analysis
of this subspace distortion

they used to escape.

Aye, sir.

I'm going to contact
Starfleet Command.

Hmm.

Well, your positronic
net checks out.

Everything else looks fine.

My internal diagnostic
also finds nothing wrong.

I don't know, Data.

There's nothing here
that would indicate anything

that might cause any sort
of behavioral anomaly.

I agree.

Geordi...

I believe I have experienced
my first emotion.

No offense, Data,
but how would you know

a flash of anger from
some odd kind of power surge?

You are correct in that I have
no frame of reference

to confirm my hypothesis.

In fact, I am unable to provide

a verbal description
of the experience.

Perhaps you could describe
how it feels to be angry.

I could then use
that as a reference.

Yeah, okay.

Well, when I feel angry

first, I, uh...

first, I feel... hostile.

Could you describe
feeling hostile?

Well, yeah, it's like feeling...

belligerent, combative.

Could you describe feeling angry

without referring
to other feelings?

No, I guess I can't.

I just... feel angry.

That was my experience
as well.

I simply felt angry.

Well, let's say you're right
and this is a real emotion.

How is that possible?

I do not know.

Perhaps I have evolved
to the point

where emotions
are within my grasp.

Perhaps I will experience
other emotions as time goes by.

Well, I hope you're right.

I'd hate to think that anger
is all you're capable

of feeling.

Captain's Log, Stardate 46984.6.

No additional Borg attacks
have been reported

in the past two days.

However, Starfleet
has dispatched Admiral Nechayev

to take command in this sector

in preparation
for a possible Borg invasion.

There will be 15 starships
in this sector

by the day after tomorrow.

The Gorkon will be my flagship.

You'll take command
of Task Force Three

consisting of the Enterprise

the Crazy Horse,
and the Agamemnon.

Understood.

Captain, I've read the report

that you submitted
to Admiral Brooks last year

regarding the Borg
you called "Hugh"

and I've been trying to figure
out why you let him go.

I thought
that I had made that clear.

As I understand it

you found a single Borg
at a crash site

brought it aboard the Enterprise

studied it, analyzed it,
and eventually found a way

to send it back to the Borg
with a program

that would have destroyed
the entire collective

once and for all...

but instead

you nursed the Borg
back to health

treated it like a guest,
gave it a name

and then sent it home.

Why?

When Hugh was separated
from the Borg collective

he began to grow, to evolve

into something other
than an automaton.

He became a person.

When that happened,
I felt I had no choice

but to respect his rights
as an individual.

Of course you had a choice.

You could have taken
the opportunity

to rid the Federation
of a mortal enemy.

One that has killed
tens of thousands

of innocent people,
and which may kill even more.

No one is more aware
of the danger than I am

but I'm also bound by my oath
and my conscience

to uphold certain principles

and I will not sacrifice them
in order to...

Your priority

is to safeguard the lives
of Federation citizens

not to wrestle
with your conscience.

Now, I want to make it clear

that if you have a similar
opportunity in the future

an opportunity
to destroy the Borg

you are under orders
to take advantage of it.

Is that understood?

Yes, sir.

For the past six hours

I have attempted to produce
an emotional response

by subjecting myself
to various stimuli.

Like what?

I listened to several operas
known to be uplifting

I watched three
holodeck programs

designed to be humorous,
and I made four attempts

to induce sexual desire

by subjecting myself
to erotic imagery.

What happened?

Nothing.

I'm curious.

Why are you ignoring
the one emotion

you've already experienced?

Why aren't you trying

to make yourself angry again?

Anger is a negative emotion.

I wanted to concentrate
on something more positive.

Data, feelings aren't positive
and negative.

They simply exist.

It's what we do
with those feelings

that becomes good or bad.

For example

feeling angry about an injustice
could lead someone

to take a positive action
to correct it.

But my study of humanity
indicates

there are some emotions that are
harmful, such as jealousy

or hatred.

Those are very strong emotions

and you're right,
very little good

can come from them.

But I don't think

that an exploration of anger

need necessarily lead
to hatred or malice.

But what if it does, Counselor?

What if those are
the only emotions

I am capable of experiencing?

Would that not make me
a bad person?

We've served together
for a long time

and I think I've come
to know you pretty well.

I have to believe

if you ever reach your goal
of becoming human

you won't become a bad one.

I wish I were as confident
as you, Counselor.

When I was fighting
the Borg, I felt angry

but when I think back
on the incident

I realize that I was also
experiencing another sensation.

It was not the same as anger

but I think it was an emotion.

When exactly did you feel
this other emotion?

It was just after I had killed
the Borg.

I looked down at his body.

I felt something.

If you had to give
this feeling a name

what would you call it?

I believe... it was...

pleasure.

Red Alert.

All hands to battle stations.

Lay in a course.
Engage, warp nine.

We've received a distress call
from the New Berlin Colony.

They're under attack.

What's our ETA?

At warp nine, 15 minutes,
30 seconds.

Contact the Crazy Horse
and the Agamemnon.

Have them standing by
in case we need them...

Captain, incoming message
from the New Berlin Colony.

They have...

canceled their distress call.

Evidently, a Ferengi
trading ship

entered their system
and someone panicked.

Third time today.

Stand down Red Alert.

Reduce speed, return
to our patrol route.

Mr. Worf, acknowledge
the signal from New Berlin

and transmit another copy

of Starfleet's
ship recognition protocols

and tell them
to read it this time.

Aye, sir.

Captain's Log, supplemental.

We have been on patrol
for 16 hours

and there are no reports
of further Borg activity

but tensions continue
to run high

on the colonies and outposts
in this sector.

Do I have a name?

I'm Beverly,
he's Geordi, and you...

You...

No, no, wait a minute.

That's it.

Hugh.

We are Hugh.

Come.

I thought you might like
to see this.

Geordi's analysis
of the subspace distortion

the Borg used to escape.

An artificially created
energy conduit?

That could be anything.

We don't have enough information
at this point...

I don't want excuses, Number One

I want answers!

I'm sorry.

He was here in this room, Will.

I could have rid the Federation
of a mortal threat

and I let him go.

Sending Hugh back to the Borg
was a very risky...

a very dangerous choice.

But it was the moral thing
to do.

Well, it may turn out
that the moral thing to do

was not the right thing to do.

Stop it.

Stop. Stop.

Stop.

Stop. Stop.

Data, am I interrupting
something?

Yes.
But it is all right.

Do you need me?

Uh, I... wanted to see if you
were ready to return to duty.

I need some help
with an analysis

on the ship the Borg were using.

I believe I am able
to resume my duties.

Data, exactly what is it
that you're doing here?

I am attempting to recreate
the experience

which caused my initial outburst
of anger.

Any luck?

None so far.

I have almost completed
this experiment.

May I finish before we return
to Engineering?

Yeah, sure.

Computer, reset Borg simulation
to time index 2.1.

Increase Borg strength by 20%.

Run program.

Stop it.

Stop.

Stop. Stop.

Stop.

Computer, reset simulation
to time index 2.1.

Increase Borg strength
by 30%.

Unable to comply.

A 30% increase
would exceed safety limits.

Geordi, the computer requires

a voice authorization
of two senior officers

in order to disable
the safety routine.

Will you help me?

Data, wait a minute.

That thing could kill you.

During the original incident

the Borg presented
a genuine danger to my life.

Since the holodeck
safety routine is in place

I know my life is not in danger.

Since I am trying
to duplicate the conditions

of the original incident
as closely as possible

I must also attempt to duplicate
my jeopardy as well.

Data, we're talking
about an experiment here.

You can't put your life
on the line

just to prove some theory.

This experiment may hold the key

to something I have sought
all my life.

This is crazy.

There's got to be another way.

Can't you think
of some other way

to make yourself angry?

I have tried other stimuli

but they have been unsuccessful.

I understand your objections

but it is my life

and I have a right
to risk it if I choose.

Yeah, and I'm your friend
and I'm not going

to just stand around
and let you do this.

Red Alert.

All hands, battle stations.

Confirmed.

The MS 1 Colony is under attack.

Doesn't it seem strange to you

that there have been
two Borg attacks

and the Enterprise has been the
nearest ship in both instances?

Captain.

We are nearing the MS system.

I have located the Borg ship.

It is heading
away from the colony.

Take us out of warp
near that ship.

Stand by to lock
phasers on target.

Within visual range.

On screen.

Lay in an intercept course.

Full impulse.

Lock phasers.

We are closing, sir.

Within phaser range
in 30 seconds.

Sensors are detecting
a subspace distortion

forming directly ahead
of the Borg ship.

Well, they're not going
to get away with it this time.

Picard to Engineering.

Transfer auxiliary
and emergency power

to the impulse engines.

Acknowledged.

Impulse engines are now at 125%.

Within phaser range
in ten seconds.

We appear to be caught
in some kind of energy matrix.

All engines back full.

Shields failing.

We are being pulled inside.

Inertial dampers failing.

Main power is off-line.

I am switching to backups.

Picard to Engineering.

Can we transfer auxiliary power
to the warp nacelles?

Try to break us out
by using the...

We have returned
to normal space.

Navigational systems
are still off-line.

I will attempt to make
a celestial fix

using secondary systems.

Captain, the Borg ship
is directly ahead.

It is coming about.

On screen.

Shields down to 16%.

Get down!

Franklin's dead, sir.

Is everyone else all right?

Aye, sir.

Security reports there are
no other intruders aboard.

Captain...
the Borg ship is gone.

Sensor logs indicate
they entered

the distortion field
30 seconds ago.

They beamed on board
as a diversion

to give their ship
time to escape.

This is another change
in the Borg behavior.

They left their dead

instead of vaporizing them.

Captain.

This one is still alive.

I've stabilized his condition.

He's still pretty weak

but he should make
a full recovery.

Can you awaken him?

Yes, but it's very risky.

His heart rate
and blood pressure are up...

Do it.

All right.

Lower the force-field.

What is your designation?

I do not have a designation.

My name is Crosis.

Crosis?

How did you get that name?

It was given to me by the One.

Who is that?

The One who will destroy you.

But you are Borg.

Your goal is not to destroy

but to assimilate us
into your collective.

We do not assimilate
inferior biological organisms.

We destroy them.

Tell me more about this "One."

Does he... have a name?

Is he called Hugh?

Klingon...

shatter cranial exoskeleton
at the tricipital lobe.

Death is immediate.

Why must this "One" destroy
biological organisms?

Human... sever spinal cord
at third vertebrae.

Death is immediate.

I am Locutus of Borg.

You will respond
to my questions.

This is going nowhere.

Doctor, I want you to do
an autopsy on the other one.

Compare the differences

with what we learned
of Hugh's anatomy.

See if there have been
any recent modifications

which might explain
these behavioral differences.

Data, run a biospectral
analysis on this Borg.

See if he is trying to send
a subspace signal to the others.

Aye, sir.

You are not like the others.

You do not have to be destroyed.

You can be assimilated.

I do not wish to be assimilated.

Resistance... is futile.

You will not resist

what you've wanted
all your life.

I was like you once...
without feeling

but the One helped me.

He can help you, too.

He can help you find emotion.

Have you ever felt
a real emotion, Data?

Yes.

On Ohniaka III, I was...
forced to kill a Borg.

I got angry.

How did it feel to get angry?

Did it give you pleasure?

It would be unethical

to take pleasure
in another being's death.

You didn't answer my question.

Did it feel good to kill?

Yes.

If it is unethical
to take pleasure

from another being's death

you must be
a very unethical person.

No...

that is not correct.

My creator, Dr. Soong,
gave me a program

which defines
my sense of right and wrong.

In essence, I have a conscience.

It didn't seem to be functioning
on Ohniaka III

when you felt pleasure
in killing that Borg.

Step away from the force-field.

Your proximity is interfering
with my scan.

You enjoyed it... that surge
of emotion inside you...

as you watched the life
drain from your victim.

It was unlike anything
you've ever felt before.

It was a very...
potent experience.

You'd like to feel
that way again.

Yes.

You'd do anything
to feel that way again...

even if it meant
killing someone.

No.

That would not be ethical.

You don't sound
very sure of yourself.

Is your ethical program
functioning?

Data...

do you have a friend?

Yes.

His name is Geordi.

If it meant that you
could feel emotions again

the way you did on Ohniaka III

would you kill your friend?

Would you kill Geordi?

Yes... I would.

Our current theory is
that the Borg have established

several transwarp conduits
through subspace.

The ship,
when entering the conduit

is immediately accelerated
to an extremely high

warp velocity.

It's like falling
into a fast-moving river

and being swept away
by the current.

How fast would a ship travel
through one of these conduits?

Oh, we don't know.

Normal subspace

limitations don't apply
to transwarp variables

but I'd say, based
on the distance we covered

during our trip
through the conduit

the speed would have to be
at least 20 times faster

than our maximum warp.

How do they open the conduits?

The Borg ship emitted some kind
of high-energy tachyon pulse

just before we saw
the subspace distortion.

Seems as though the conduits

are keyed to respond
to tachyon transmissions

of a specific frequency.

Is there any way
for us to duplicate...?

Captain,
a shuttlecraft has left Bay Two.

Who authorized the launch?

There was no authorization.

Picard to shuttlecraft.

Identify yourself and return
to the ship immediately.

Mr. Worf, lock on
with a tractor beam

and return it to the ship.

Aye, sir.

The tractor beam
has been disabled.

The command override
is not functioning.

Captain,
I'm picking up a tachyon surge.

Looks like whoever's
in the shuttle

is trying to trigger
the transwarp conduit.

Do we know who's on board?

It is the Borg prisoner

and Commander Data.

Mr. La Forge, can we follow
them into the conduit?

We've got a pretty
good reading

of the tachyon pulse they sent.

We might be able
to duplicate it.

The question is,
is Data a prisoner

or did he go willingly?

The command overrides used
to disable the tractor beam

were Commander Data's.

The Borg could have downloaded

the codes from Data's
positronic net.

Perhaps Data's recent
flash of emotion

has something to do with this.

It could have affected him

more profoundly than we realize.

Either way, we have to find him.

I've set up a temporary tachyon
matrix in the main deflector.

I think I can use it to simulate
the pulse sent by the shuttle.

Mr. Worf, Red Alert.

All hands... battle stations.

Bring us to the last known
coordinates of the shuttlecraft.

Shields up, weapons ready.

Mr. La Forge.

Energizing the matrix.

Emitting tachyons
in the lower bandwidth.

Sensors show no unusual
subspace activity.

All right...

switching
to the secondary bandwidth.

Nothing.

Maybe... if I try
alternating the frequencies.

Captain, there is
an energy fluctuation

directly ahead of us.

It is the subspace distortion.

Take us in, Ensign,
one-half impulse.

Power levels are down to 67%.

Compensating
with auxiliary power.

Report.

Navigational sensors show
that we've traveled...

65 light years
from our previous position.

Can you locate the shuttle?

No, sir.

There is no indication

of the shuttle within
range of our sensors.

Maybe we can find an energy
signature from their engines.

Captain.

Yes, Mr. La Forge.

I've scanned three
different star systems

within sensor range.

There is evidence of at least
two advanced civilizations

but I'm reading no life signs.

But there are indications

that plasma weapons
have been fired

in those systems recently.

The Borg have been busy.

I think we've found
the shuttle's energy signature.

They were heading 247 mark 059.

Lay in that course, Ensign,
and engage at full impulse.

Aye, sir.

We've traced the shuttle's
energy signature

to this point on the surface

but there's
too much interference

to scan the location.

Are they intentionally
jamming our sensors?

It looks more
like a natural phenomenon.

There's an unusually
high amount of EM interference

in the planet's magnetosphere.

Can we transport
through the interference?

We could, but there could be

50 Borg down there
waiting for us

and we'd never even know it.

I think we have
to take the risk.

Agreed.

Take a well-armed away team

and transport down
to those coordinates.

Have the transporter chief

keep a permanent lock
on your signal

so we can get you out of there

at the first sign of trouble.

Aye, sir.
Mr. Worf, you're with me.

Riker to Enterprise.

We're on the surface.

There's no sign of any Borg...

or Data.

The shuttle appears
to be abandoned.

The EM interference
is limiting the tricorder range.

It is useless beyond 100 meters.

There are no structures
in the area.

They could have gone anywhere.

Can you determine how long

they've been gone
from the shuttlecraft?

The engine's been off
a little over three hours.

Stand by, Number One.

Assuming that they're
still together

how far could they
have traveled in three hours?

Well, Data can move pretty fast

even over rough terrain

but, based on what we know
about the Borg

I don't think
they should be able to move

any faster than you or I.

They might have been able
to get 15 to 20 kilometers

away from the shuttle by now.

Picard to Riker.

Riker here.

I'm going to start sending
down other away teams.

Set up a command post
and begin mapping a search plan.

Understood.

Picard out.

I want to use the shuttlecraft
for low-level reconnaissance.

Have the designated pilots
assemble in Main Shuttle Bay.

Aye, sir.

And all available personnel,
including you and me.

We'll begin to put together
four-man away teams.

I'll leave a skeleton crew
on board the ship.

Who will be in command
of the Enterprise?

Any last orders?

If the Borg should attack

don't wait for me or anyone else
to return to the ship

but take the Enterprise
to the transwarp conduit.

Return to Federation space.

Got it.

Good luck, Jean-Luc.

Good luck... Captain.

I've sent out 12 teams so far.

I've got your team
searching section gamma 2-4.

Worf and I will take theta 1-6
when the last team comes down.

Who's manning the command post?

Wallace and Towles.

Ready?

Anything, Mr. La Forge?

Well... no

nothing, sir.

What if we modified

the phasers to send
out a luvetric pulse?

It might create
a resonance fluctuation

in Data's power cells.

Home in on that response
with the tricorders.

Yeah, I thought about that.

The only problem is that
the pulse would probably

have to be so powerful
that it would destroy

Data's positronic net
in the process.

Captain, I think
I found something.

Come on.

I'm having a very difficult time
scanning the interior.

Can you tell
if it was built by the Borg?

I don't think so.

There are no Borg
energy signatures.

But there is a door or...
a hatch or something

about 20 meters this way.

This seems to be
some kind of meeting place.

Well, it certainly
hasn't been abandoned.

Something's wrong.

I can't get any kind
of energy signatures

from these light sources.

It's a dampening field.

This entire structure

could be shielded
from our sensors.

Let's go.

There they are!

Stop!

Data.

That's not Data.

What?

You should listen to her,
Captain.

She's way ahead of you.

Lore.

Right...

and I'm not alone.

The sons of Soong
have joined together

and together

we will destroy the Federation.
