Picard:
Captain's log, stardate 44307.3.

I am preparing to leave by shuttlecraft
for pentarus v,

where I've been asked to mediate
a dispute among the salenite miners,

a contentious group unfortunately
prone to violence.

But first, I must deal with a situation
of a far more personal nature.

Wesley: Sir?

Mr. Crusher, I summoned you
almost ten minutes ago.

Sir, I'm sorry.

I was in the middle of a very
important experiment

that was using some
very volatile compounds.

- I couldn't just leave them...
- Excuses, Mr. Crusher?

Wesley: No, sir, I was just...

Because I can assure you that will not
go down well at starfleet academy.

Yes, sir, I'm aware of that.

The academy?

I just received a message
from admiral nsomeka.

She expects you
to report in two weeks.

A position has opened up
in this year's class.

Thank you.

Now, you're going to have to work
overtime in order to catch up,

but I have assured the admiral
that you are capable of it.

- Please don't make a liar out of me.
- Oh, no, sir, I won't.

For your final mission on board
the enterprise,

you will accompany me to pentarus v

while I try to sort out the problems
with the miners.

Riker has told me
that you have been studying

the effects of outpost judiciary
decisions on federation law.

What better way to get
first-hand experience?

Captain, I'm picking up a general
distress signal from gamelan v.

On-screen.

Please. Does anyone read us?

Open a channel.

I'm captain Jean-Luc picard
of the federation starship enterprise.

Captain, I am chairman songi
of gamelan v.

An unidentified spacecraft
has entered orbit above our planet.

Radiation levels in our atmosphere
have increased by 3,000 percent.

We can only assume
we are under attack,

but the ship will not answer our hails.

We are a peaceful planet.

We have no ability
to defend ourselves.

Please, can you help us?

Mr. Data, are we close enough
for a scan?

No, sir. We are out of range.

Any other ships in that sector?

Negative, commander.

Chairman songi, we'll proceed
immediately to your planet.

Thank you, captain.

Commander riker, take the enterprise
and investigate the problem.

Ensign crusher and I will proceed
to pentarus v.

The miners have sent a shuttle
which will leave in ten minutes.

Yes, sir.

You know, I've noticed here that
your maneuvering thrusters are rigged

in a configuration
I've never seen before.

It's my own modification.

It's more efficient.

You can study it if you want.

Excuse me, captain.

I've run safety and operational
inspections, captain.

Everything checks out.

But I won't make any claims
as to its comfort.

Captain picard. Captain dirgo
of the shuttlecraft nenebek.

Ah, captain, it's good to meet you.

Captain of a mining shuttle?

Yes, ensign. Captain.

My ship isn't pretty.

She isn't big, but we've logged
almost 10,000 hours together.

Oh, yes. She seems a very...

A very sturdy craft.

We should go.

Captain, will you take ops?

I'll let ensign crusher
perform that task.

I have to study up on regalian law.

Shuttlecraft has cleared the bay, sir.

Ensign allenby, set a course
for the gamelan system. Warp 6.

Aye, sir.

You've done this before?

The captain back there,

if he isn't tougher than he looks,
those miners will tear him apart.

Don't worry about captain picard.
He'll handle them.

Wesley: I've lost navigation.

The port thruster quad's gone.

Guidance coupling system is severed.

I can't stabilize her.

Picard:
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.

Wesley:
The port thruster module blew.

Nenebek to enterprise. Emergency.

Do you read?

Pentarus station, come in.

Communication's gone.

Picard:
Is your navigational system functioning?

Negative. Switching to manual.

Fifty million kilometers to pentarus v.

We may have to put down
somewhere else.

Mr. Crusher,
scan for a class-m environment.

Aye, sir.

I'm gonna have to throttle back
on the main impulse engines.

Sir, one of the moons
around pentarus III,

it registers as class-m, barely.

The mean surface temperature
is 55 degrees celsius.

Life forms indicated?

Negative. But scanning is limited.

There is a very strong magnetic field
around the surface.

We don't have a choice.

Save the impulse engine
for controlled entry.

Picard: Mr. Crusher, reconfigure
working thrusters to manual input.

I'll try, sir, but this grid
looks about a hundred years old.

We don't have
the federation's resources.

Captain, take the helm.

I'm rerouting the deuterium flow.

Hull temperature, 700 degrees.

Beginning braking maneuver.

We're below mach 1.

Bypass to thrusters now.

Picard:
Brace yourself for impact.

Dear god.

Let's salvage what we can.

The first thing we'll need
is shelter from the sun.

In this heat,
the shuttle will act like an oven.

Dirgo: All the systems are out.

Can't get a communication channel.

Location transponder's gone too.

Picard: Check the craft for something
to protect our heads and eyes.

And, captain, please recover
your medical supplies.

Food and water rations.

Dirgo:
Well, the medical supplies are all right.

Food and water?

Dirgo: The replicator.

Damaged beyond repair.

Picard:
Surely you have emergency supplies.

This isn't a starship.

I have to choose what I carry.

Are you telling me there's no water?

Scanning.

The vessel reads
as an unmanned sublight freighter.

- Origin?
- Indeterminate.

Propulsion appears to employ
a gaseous-core fission reactor,

but it is not functioning.

The radiation levels from that ship
are off the scale.

Could that be leakage
from their engines?

No, sir. Engine reactor elements
appear to have been inactive

for approximately 300 years.

The vessel is carrying various
unstable waste products.

You mean it's a garbage scow?

- Precisely.
- Mr. Worf, open hailing frequency.

Chairman songi, this is commander
riker on board the enterprise.

Yes, commander.

It appears you've inherited
someone else's problem.

An old waste vessel caught
by your planet's gravitational pull.

Have your people begun to suffer
from radiation sickness?

Not yet. But some areas are already
detecting dangerous levels.

We'll do our best to get it out of here
as quickly as possible.

Thank you, commander.

We're gonna push that barge
into the gamelan sun.

Sir, the meltasion asteroid belt
lies between here and the sun.

Then we'll take it in ourselves.

We'll use our deflectors
to clear a path.

La forge: I don't like the idea of
getting close to that barge to tow it.

The radiation levels are high,

we'd be risking the contamination
of the entire crew.

Do you have a better idea?

La forge: We could send
a construction module over

to attach thrusters to it.

Then we could direct it through
the asteroid belt from a safe distance.

Commander, a message from
the mining settlement on pentarus v.

The shuttlecraft carrying
captain picard has not yet arrived.

They left here at 0800 hours.

They have asked
if we are beginning a search.

Tell them we have
an emergency situation.

We will begin as soon
as we have completed that.

Worf: Aye, sir.

Mr. La forge, prepare to launch
the construction module.

I'd like to get this over with
as fast as possible.

Picard:
Any luck with the tricorder, ensign?

I think so, sir.

The scanning range may be a bit
limited, but it's better than nothing.

These were on board, captain.
They're working.

Picard: Excellent.

Our communicators may not be able
to get a signal

through this strong a magnetic field.

I'm fashioning an arrow.

If a search party finds the wreckage,

they'll know that we've headed
for those mountains.

Are you crazy?

We're too far away.
We'll never make it.

We can't survive in this sun.

Where there's mountains,
there's shelter.

You've got no right
to make decisions.

I'm the captain of this ship.

If you wanna get out of this,
I suggest you listen to captain picard.

- He's gonna keep us alive.
- Thank you, ensign. That's enough.

Captain dirgo, you're an able pilot.

I welcome your input.

Do you feel that there is an alternative
we're overlooking?

Very well.

I suggest a steady pace,
not a brisk one.

We need to ration our energy.
Try breathing through your nose.

That way, it will help
to prevent dehydration.

I'll lead.

Captain dirgo,
will you bring up the rear?

And you were worried
about how tough the captain is?

- Did you find water?
- No, not yet.

What are you doing with that?

Picard: Mr. Crusher?

I'm not sure, sir.

It's an energy reading.

Picard:
Energy reading? What kind?

Low frequency em.

It's been getting stronger the closer
we get to those mountains.

What are you saying?

There's something over there
waiting for us?

I'm not sure what it is.

It just keeps registering
as a repeating energy pattern.

Ensign, are you suggesting
that this energy

is not naturally occurring?

These readings could be indicative

of some electromagnetic properties
in the rocks, but I don't think so.

Life form?

It's possible.

The pattern is fairly organized.

Well, we can't go back.

We can't stay here.

We've got to keep going
for those mountains.

No matter what is waiting for us.

Dirgo:
There has to be water in here.

Aren't caves formed by water?

Picard: Not necessarily.

This could be created
by volcanic activity.

Lava flow. These walls are dry.

Mr. Crusher,
do you have any moisture reading?

No, sir. But that em reading?

The pattern's changed.

The frequency's peaking a lot higher.

You have water.

I wouldn't hide water.

That's called dresci.
It's from my planet.

- It's alcohol.
- It's medicinal.

It's for emergencies.
I was going to share it with you.

This wouldn't quench your thirst,
it would make it worse.

Well, I'll take my chances.

I'm not gonna let you waste this.

This is more valuable to us
as a coolant or disinfectant.

- It's mine.
- Stow that with the medical supplies.

Keep your eye on it. All right.
We're going to explore the cave.

Mr. Crusher, look out for any signs
of water, no matter how faint.

Captain dirgo, will you lead the way?

We're projecting
that the bulk of radiation

will affect three small island groups.

Fortunately,
they're very sparsely populated.

We'll begin replicating hyronalin now

and be ready to transport it to them
if it becomes necessary.

Please coordinate with all
the medical personnel on the planet.

Beveny?

We've contacted the nearest starbase
for search vessels.

I'm afraid the closest one is almost
a week away.

I see. Thank you.

But we have asked
the mining settlement

to send any vessels they might have.

You know,

there are many reasons why the
shuttlecraft may have been delayed.

Deanna, thank you.

But I'm all right.

And right now, I have work to do.

Commander, the miners report they
have very few operable shuttlecraft.

They want to know when we will
join the search.

Tell them to stand by.

- If this works, we'll be on our way.
- Aye, sir.

Thrusters are attached and ready,
commander.

Initiate pre-fire sequence.

Pre-fire sequence transmitted,
thrusters to stand by.

Fire thrusters. Gradual acceleration
to 40 percent power.

La forge: We've lost one module.

Correcting thrust vectors
to compensate.

Structural integrity of the barge
has been compromised.

Disintegration is continuing.

Shut down thrusters.

Ensign, take us to 1,000 meters
ahead of the barge and hold.

External radiation levels
increasing, sir.

Coming into position at 1,000 meters.

Extend the shields around the ship.

Lock on the tractor beam.

Worf: Aye, sir.

Computer: Warning: Radiation levels
at 70 millirads per minute and rising.

Allenby, set a new course.

We'll take it through
the asteroid belt ourselves.

- One-quarter impulse.
- Aye, sir.

- Dr. Crusher, to the bridge.
- Crusher: On my way.

Mr. Data, I need a projection
of the radiation's impact on the crew.

Mr. Worf,
contact the mining settlement.

Tell them we won't be joining
the search for a while.

I knew there had to be water.

- Picard: What was that?
- A tightly confined annular force field.

Placed there to protect the water?

Yes. There has to be a way
to deactivate it, sir.

We can. With our phasers.

Mr. Dirgo, I think it would be wiser...

Captain, the em reading.
The power level's really spiking now.

- I think it's working.
- Dirgo.

Stop firing.

Dirgo: Ah!

Wesley.

Apply pressure to that wound.

This is the worst break.

What was that thing?

Keep the pressure constant.

Ensign.

How bad is it?

Wesley:
Your right leg is broken.

You have a fracture
in your left arm,

and you took a blow to the head.

But we're getting the bleeding
under control.

I'm going to be fine.

I just...

Just need to get my breath.

Are you telling the truth?

What truth?

He's bleeding inside.

I've seen it before.
He's never gonna survive.

You don't know
what you're talking about.

You're wasting your time...
Will you save that dresci for us?

Picard: Mr. Dirgo, I would appreciate it
if you didn't Bury me before I'm gone.

Trouble is, he could be right.

No, he's not, sir. You're gonna be fine.

Wesley, you are going to have to keep
a rein on dirgo.

He's willful, stubborn.
That's dangerous.

- You'll handle him, sir.
- Wesley, listen to me.

I have no feeling in my right leg.

My vision is blurred.

I'm going to get worse, not better.

I'm not gonna be able to help you.

Now you're going to have to stand up
to dirgo on your own.

Yes, sir.

Hey. Good man.

Ri ker:
First officer's log, stardate 44307.6.

Radiation levels on the enterprise
continue to rise.

The ventilation system has started
pumping h yronalin into our air supply

to counteract the effects.

At the rate the radiation levels
are increasing,

the hyronalin additive will only be
effective for another 38 minutes.

Crusher to medical unit 1.

Evacuate and seal off
all non-operational areas.

Group the crew and their families
in interior corridors of decks 9 and 10.

Radiation exposure protocol.

Acknowledged, doctor.

Mr. Data, at our current speed,

how long will it take us
to get through the asteroid belt?

Fifty-one minutes, 14 seconds, sir.

There's gonna be a lot of casualties
if we can't get there any faster.

Riker: Mr. La forge, how much more
can we get out of that tractor beam?

We're already at the maximum
of our towing speed, commander.

Let's see if we can establish
a new upper limit.

Yes, sir. Data, monitor
the shearing effect on the beam.

Increasing to one-half impulse.

Tractor beam is holding.

Shearing force,
80 metric tons per meter.

Increasing to three-quarters impulse.

Shearing force, 92 metric tons, 93...

Tractor beam is destabilizing.

We are going to lose the barge,
commander.

- Reduce power.
- One-half impulse.

Riker: Geordi, you've got to stabilize
that tractor beam.

I can't divert any more power
to the shields.

We're already hitting
our maximum thermal limits.

Only other choice is to bring
some other fusion reactors online.

But we're running
at peak coolant pressure.

Do it.

Computer: Warning: Radiation levels
at 150 millirads per minute and rising.

Lethal exposure in 35 minutes.

Dirgo: Look at that. The phaser.

- How did this happen?
- That thing did it.

These are selenium fibers,
electrically deposited.

The em pattern is back down.

It only peaks when we move
towards the water.

Whatever we saw must act like
a sentry to try to guard the fountain.

When we're not moving
towards the water,

the wave pattern stays low.

Right here,
between 5 and 15 megahertz.

Dirgo, move toward the fountain.

Dirgo.

Wesley: There.

It just went to 40.

What is this getting us?
We've got to get to the water.

If I can figure out how to manipulate
the frequency, maybe I can control it.

Now, the sentry first appeared
when you used your phaser.

That means it could respond
to heat or collimated energy...

If you're right, we can use a phaser
to lure it away.

We need to know what
we're dealing with before we do...

Enough talking, enough thinking.
It's time to do something.

I'll start firing.

When it comes,
you fire and draw it away.

- Dirgo, I can't.
- Put your phaser on automatic.

Leave it on that ledge.

And take cover.

And what makes you think it's gonna
go for my phaser and not for yours?

Because I'll be firing on
the lowest setting. You use maximum.

There is no evidence that it responds
differently to higher settings.

We have to figure out our options...

While we are doing that,
your captain is dying.

Wounds like that,
most men would be dead already.

If he doesn't get water...

When I start firing,
you better do your part.

Ri ke r:
First officer's log, supplemental.

Mr. La forge has diverted power
from auxiliary fusion generators

in an attempt to stabilize
the tractor beam.

This is the only hope of increasing
our towing speed

so we can clear the asteroid belt
before radiation levels become fatal.

Computer: Warning: Radiation levels
at 300 millirads per minute and rising.

Lethal exposure in one minute.

La forge: Ready, commander.

I'll be rotating the output
of the auxiliary reactors,

but it should still give us
the power we need.

Proceed, Mr. La forge.

La forge:
Increasing to three-quarters impulse.

Shearing forces at 103 metric tons.

- Tractor beam is stable.
- La forge: Full impulse.

Tractor beam is holding.

Computer: Warning: Lethal radiation
exposure in 30 seconds.

We are within visual range
of the asteroid belt.

On-screen.

Computer: Warning: Lethal radiation
exposure in 15 seconds.

Prepare to cut the barge loose.

Warning: Lethal radiation exposure
in ten seconds.

We have cleared the asteroids, sir.

Riker: Let it go.

Picard: Cold.

Wesley: When the sun went down,
the temperature really dropped.

This should help.

Thank you.

I'm not much good to you, Wesley.

Sir.

Dirgo is dead.

I should have tried harder to stop him,
but he...

Captain?

Captain picard.

Sir, stay with me.

I'm trying.

Sir.

Do you remember

when we took the shuttlecraft
together to starbase 515?

I was dreading it.

- Six hours alone with you?
- — huh.

But it didn't turn out the way
that I thought.

You opened up to me.

I kind of got to know you.

Wesley, it's my fault that you're here.

I shouldn't have asked you.

Sir, I'm honored that
you wanted me along.

I was selfish.

I thought I wouldn't see you again.

I'm sorry.

Sir, in the past three years,

I've lived more than most people
do in a lifetime.

I think I'm very lucky,
no matter what happens.

How many people get to serve
with Jean-Luc picard?

Sir.

You don't know this.

No one knows this,

because I've never told anyone.

All of the things that I've worked for...

School, my science projects,
getting into the academy.

I've done it all because I want you
to be proud of me.

If there is one thing that I've learned
from you, it's that you don't quit.

And I'm not gonna quit now.

I've seen you think yourself out
of worse situations than this,

and I'm gonna think us out of this.

You're not gonna die.

I'm not gonna let you die.

I'll get to the water.

And I'll keep you alive
until they find us.

I promise.

Ri ke r:
First officer's log, supplemental.

The enterprise is returning
to the last known location

of the missing shuttlecraft.

Are you certain?

It is definitely debris.

The primary material is duranium

with smaller proportions of sonodanite
and ermanium.

Most shuttlecraft hulls
are made of duranium.

- Then they're gone.
- Data: Not necessarily, doctor.

There is far too little debris
to account for an entire shuttlecraft.

So, what is it?

Dirgo had his maneuvering thrusters
rigged a funny way,

claimed it was more efficient
if one of them blew.

It might've left debris
that looks like this.

If only one of his thrusters was out,
he still could've set down somewhere.

The only class-m planets
in the system are pentarus ii and v,

both of which have been
thoroughly searched by the miners.

- Then we'll search them again.
- Sir,

there are four moons in the pentarus
system that could support life.

- Have the miners searched them?
- Not yet, sir.

Which one is closest
to the debris coordinates?

Lambda paz,
one of the moons of pentarus III.

Set a course, ensign.

Ensign.

Where are we?

We crashed, sir.

We're in a cave.

Need water.

Sir, we don't have any water.

Don't you remember?

We tried to get to the fountain
and captain dirgo...

Yes. Yes.

I remember.

I think I'm on to something.

I've analyzed
the sentry's energy patterns.

Wesley.

I may not make it.

I've taken the transponder element
from my communicator.

And I've used it to modify my tricorder.

I think I can use it to interrupt
the sentry's electrical pattern.

- Stop it, maybe slow it down.
- Listen to me.

Yes, sir.

There's so much I wanted to tell you.

The academy.

There's someone... someone who
meant a great deal to me.

He's been there forever.

Someone you must get to know.

His name is boothby.

Now, you tell him
that you and I were friends.

Now, when I was there, he helped me.

Listen to him.

What does he teach?

He's the groundskeeper.

He's one of the wisest men
I ever knew.

Oh, I envy you, Wesley crusher.

You're just at the beginning
of the adventure.

Go on.

Get the water, stay alive.

They'll find you.

I'll be back soon.

Picard: Of course.

Wesley.

You remember.

I was always proud of you.

It worked.

Captain.

Captain picard?

Wake up.

Captain.

Crusher: Wesley?

Wesley.

Wesley.

Mom?

Oh, mom.

Crusher: Wesley, thank god.

I'm so happy to see you.

You're okay. Come.

How did you find us?

We found the wreckage and the arrow
which indicated your direction.

We'll take Wesley by stretcher as well.

No. I can walk.

Doctor.

We're taking you back
to the enterprise.

We've stabilized your vital signs.

All right, let's go now.

One moment.

Mr. Crusher. Wesley: Yes, sir?

What are you doing
in such a filthy uniform?

You don't look
so shipshape yourself, sir.

Wesley, you will be missed.
