it would be faster. that's not possible. we're talking about hun ces, not isolinear circuits. you'd better stick to engineering, lieutenant. a cell has an electromagnetic signature just as a circuit element does. with just a few adjustments. i could set it up for yo ( klaxons sounding ) collision course. sensors read no particulate emissions or subspace distortions. then how is it able to move? method of propulsion is unknown, sir. ensign, take us away from it. one quarter impulse. aye, sir.

captain's log, stardate 44705.3. the enterprise has destroyed the alien probe of repairing the argus telescope. ilure to do so would represent an irreplaceable scientific loss. mr. barclay. everyone's still trying to figure out how you did it. it occurred to me that i could set up a harmonic using the warp field as an anti-attenuator. that created an amplification of the inherent energy output.

uh-huh. i see that. your report, mr. la forge. each of the telescope's antenna clusters is powered by its own reactor but a single computer controls them all. so all 18 reactors were affected yes. they're starting to overload and could eventually go critical. the explosion would destroy the array. standard isolation procedure is advisable. we'll cut th off fr the control system and repair them one by one. all right, mr. la forge... i don't agree. we could repair all of the reactors simultaneously simultaneously? all 18?

yes, sir. the argus computer is inoperable. the core memory is still intact. we could program a new control system. an interesting suggestion. than our original plan at least seven weeks. i could have it ready in two days. what? if you would assist me in the morning, commander. sure, reg. the moon-- yes, that will bmy home. i shall find there all the souls that i love-- soates, galileo. and when i arrive they will question my worthine.

i will take us to them. captain, i am picking up subspace distortion. mr. data? this disturbance is the result from our warp nacelles. it is creating a bias in the subspace continuum. mr. barclay, are you responsible for this disturbance? yes, sir. i'm altering subspace in a way that's ner been conceived of before. i want you to stop this experiment for now. captain, if you'd only allow me... mr. barclay, this is a direct order. discontinue whatever it is you are doing. i would rather not, sir. you'll be pleased with the result... audio is disconnected. you may speak freely. how long before the o.d.n. is ready?

captain's log: for generations, the people of kaelon two have been working to revitalize their dying sun. the federation has offered to assist in testing what may be a solution to this problem. helium fusion enhancement has been discussed for over a century but there's been no practical method of application. the modifications you have made in the guidance systems are remarkable. well, we'll see. they still have to be proved. but now at least it's possible. i'd never dared to hope for such a perfect match with our own sun. i only regret that it took three years to find a suitable sun after you first contacted us. we're not used to dealing with other worlds. we're not used to asking for anything from others. your offer of help has given us a possible means of survil. it has taken 40 years of my life

to develop the programming that will control your photon torpedoes. it has been my life. thank you for this opportunity. my only wish has been to find a way to revive our sun before i die. mrs. troi, i must protest your unauthorized presence on the bridge. what does that one do, mr. woof? please, madame! that is a torpedo launch initiator, and... and it is "worf," madame, not "woof." oh... ah! there you are, dear. i've been waiting for you. so nice to see you again. mrs. troi. mother, what did you want? what? you were waiting for me. oh, yes, dear. you really must let me do something to relieve the tedium of all th work.

i'm expected in engineering. i'm terribly sorry. mrs. troi you'll have to clear the bridge. i don't see why. there are lots of other people here. mother, please.

captain's log, stardate 44812.6. we are orbiting kaelon two, and have established contact with science minister b'tardat. the experiment achieved a stable core temperature for a short time, minister. we've been studying the sensor logs and the torpedo telemetry. if we can isolate the problem another test might be successful. in the meantime, all of our facilities are available to dr. timicin. a most generous offer but timicin has obligations at home and it would us take some time to select a replacement. we would be more than willing to extend our visit, sir. that will not be necessa. we'll contact you as soon as we're ready. we expect timicin to return home as soon as possible and again, gentlemen, many thanks. ( door chimes ) come.

are you aware these people you are so graciously helping are murderers? i beg your pardon? well, the next thing to it. when a person on this benighted little planet reaches the age of 60-- which timicin is about to do-- they're expected to simply kill themselves. did you know that? mr. data? the people of kaelon two are isolationists almost to the point of being xenophobes. we know very little about them. well, i know. timicin himself just told me. he is supposed to go down there to his loving friends be wined, dined, honored for his achievements and then kill himself. it's a barbaric ritual. "the resolution," it's called. u can't let him go, jean-luc. i'm afraid i have no choice. i don't think you've been listening to me. the man is supposed to kill himself. now you don't just let that happen. you don't just turn your back. lwaxana, i'm sorry, but whatever my personal feelings

i have no jurisdiction here. i simply cannot interfere. but you have to. in a situation like this you absolutely have to interfere. you've got to go down there. talk to those people, jean-luc. open their eyes-- educate them. the prime directive forbids us to interfere with the social order of any planet. well, it's your prime directive not mine. computer, locate counselor troi. what do you mean i can't go down? are you telling me i'm a prisoner? mother, what's going on? what are you doing? i'm not sure what to do. i am a betazoid ambassador. i'm a daughter of the fifth house and those people are going to answer to me. energize this damn thing and get me down there.

he can't, mother. he has his orders. his orders don't apply to me. no, they apply to him. and don't you try your pressional patronizing on me young lady. they expect timicin to die, don't you realize that? because he's 60. what's 60? it's nothing. i'll go check the pattern buffers. come on, mother, let's sit down. i'm sorry, little one. i don't know what's wrong with me. i'm... i'm sorry. there's no need to be. but i'm crying. i don't cry. you cried when father died. you remember that? of course i remember.

we both cried. but... but this isn't the same. is it? what do you think? i... i don't know. i... i just can't accept that... that fate would allow me to meet him like this and then take him away. i mean he's not ill. he hasn't had a tragic accident. he's just going to die and for no gd reason. because his society has decided that's he's too old so they just dispose of him. as... as though his life no longer had any value or meaning. you can't possibly understand at your age

buat mine... well, sometimes you feel tired and... and afraid. you're feeling very vulnerable. very mortal if i may say so. but i know youmother, and believe me you will never be one of those who dies before they die. ( door chimes ) come in. i've been studying the preliminary reports of the test. i... i don't understand where it went wrong. i thought i had taken into account all the variables--

the deep convection patterns, the proton reaction neutrino count. i will say it agn-- you are a kind woman. no, no, i'm a hateful woman. i hate what you're going to do and i hate you for doing it. it is the way of my world. i wish you could accept that. i never will. never.

[music playing] when you take away all the canned chicken broth that adds msg, one stands alone. the secret is swanson 100% natural chicken broth.

how long have you been sitting there? oh, i don't know-- a minute, an hour. lwaxana... do you want anything? some tea? i want to explain.

i want very much for you to understand. 15 to 20 centuries ago, we had no resolution. we had no such concern for our elders. as people aged, their health failed. they became invalids and those whose families could no longer care for them were put away into deathwatch facilities where they waited in loneliness for the end to come sometimes for years. they had meant something and they were forced to live beyond that into a time of meaning nothing-- of knowing that they could now only be e beneficiaries of younger people's patience. we are no longer that cel, lwaxan no, you're not cruel to them; you just kill them.

the resolution is a celebration of life. it allows us to die with dignity. "celebration of life." sounds very noble. what you're really saying is you got rid of the problem by getting rid of the people. it may sound that way but it is a time of transition-- one generation passing on the responsibilities of life to the next. what about the responsibility of caring for the elderly? that would place a dreadful burden on the children. we raise them, we care for them we suffer for them we keep them from harm their whole lives. now eventually, it's their turn to take care of us. no parent should expect to be paid back for that love. well, why the hell not? oskoids.

what's that? oskoids-- a betazed delicacy. looks very interesting. you should have tried it while you were still alive. no reason to bother now. why 60? why not 62? 58? a reasonable age had to be set. but it's not reasonable, not in your case. you're as vital and healthy a man as i've ever known. that is why i wish to leave my family while i am in full command of my faculties knowg they will always remember me as a strong and vigorous man. but it makes no sense. some of your people could still be active at 70 or 80 and others might be seriously ill at 50. how cruel to make them wait so long to commit suicide. setting a standard age makes it uniform for everybody. to ask individual families to decide when their elders are to die that would be heartless. i agree. why not let everybody die when they die? lwaxana...

you have a grandson, you said. yes, almost seven. wouldn't it be better for him to know his grandfather? not some vague memory of someone who once loved him but a real, living person who does love him. don't you really think that would be better? i attended the resolution of my parents when it was their time. it was beautiful. lwaxana, this is a custom that i have known and accepted all my life. the women of betazed once wore enormous wigs with large holes in the center for tiny, caged creatures. yes? first, it was a fashion then it went on long enough to become a custom-- a tradition-- but it was uncomfortable for the woman and cruel to the animal. so then one day, one very formidable woman finally said so--

refused to ever wear another of those wigs. fairly soon the custom stopped. she had the courage to stand up and fight for change. she must have been a lot like you. no one is more qualified, more experienced or more likely to save their planet than you and they would have you kill yourself. younger scientis will take my place. my work... the work... will continue. your planet has what, 30, 40 years left? what if your scientists can't find the answer without you? what chance do you think your grandson ha of reaching the age of 60? enough, please! it is my time, lwaxana and that is the way it is. well, if that's the way it is, i don't know why

anyone's bothering to try to save your planet at all. if it's time has come, let it die. where is the difference, timicin? where? convection boundary uncoupling. the reaction caused gas turbulence of a totally unexpected magnitude. why? there was evidence of delayed surface shock. no, i'd anticipated that. i thought i'd anticipated all possible variables but stars-- theye like living entities in a way-- quite unpredictable. you know i wouldn't be at all surprised if this were a result of... look here.

42 seconds into the test there is a sudden rise of hydrogen-alpha emissis. and here is another. i'm right, aren't i? there had to be neutron migration within the star's inner core as the reaction grew. perhaps, but there is no known method for controlling a neutron gration. yes, but theoretically, it is possible. using these test results, we could construct a new computer model of the energy dynamic of a star that can test a new detonation proam. i'm certain it can be accomplied. it's just a matter of time. a matter of time. ( door chimes ) come. timicin... time for you to leave us then. captain... i have come to officially request...

timicin, i cannot believe this. why asylum? asylum from what? i turn 60 in four days, minister. your family is gathering for your resolution. i believe that it is time for us to reexane, as a people, the wisdom of the resolution. are they forcing you into this? are you being coerced? influenced, perhaps. coerced? no. our only influence, minister, is by example.

micin's decision is his own free will, i assure you. i cannot believe that a man of timicin's stature would freely reject his culture. no one on kaelon two understands this project as i do. there are new theories that would take others a decade to test and confirm. others started your work, others will finish it. it has always been this way. riker: captain, scanners indicate two kaelon warships rising to intercept. acknowledged, commander. minister, we are here in friendship hoping to be of assistance. you have helped enough. i suggest you return timicin and depart. if you leave with timicin on board our ships will open fire. but there's no purpose... it shouldn't have happened.

i've handled this poorly. you acted in good conscience, doctor. what else could you have done? i could have left well enough alone. i could have returned home. what do you think, captain? have i done the right thing? i'm afraid you're the only one who can answer that. lwaxana would... would have me lead a revolt. i'm only a scientist. i wish i had her strength. she is a woman of extraordinary conviction isn't she? isn't she. any communications, number one? no, sir. we have an open channel. worf: the warships have taken a standard attack posture.

shields up. captain... please return to your quarters. i don't want any bloodshed. i think we should get out of their way. yes, of course. i understand. mr. worf, ascertain their offensive potential. aye, sir. we must transmit the new analysis of neutron migration. if they could e... they refuse to accept further reports from you. if i can reestablish computer interface with the science ministry... they've disengaged the linkup, doctor. why don't they answer?! even if i find the solution you will not accept it?! because i do not terminate my life they terminate my work. alive, i am a greater threat to my world than a dying sun.

jean-luc will find a way to settle this. he always does. my decision will lead to more distrust of other worlds. don't be foolish. i am not being foolish! lwaxana, i want to live because i see in you how much i have to live for. you make me realize that my life still has value. i can be an example to my people i can finish my work but discovering these new desires and not being able to do anything about them not even being able to reach my people... you are making a statement about the sanctity of life. who will hear it from light years away? where will i go now, lwaxana? i'm a man without a world.

i can't go home. oh, timicin... riker: bridge to dr. timicin. you have a visitor coming aboard. b'tardat? no, sir, it's your daughter. dara. father. this is lwaxana troi. she has been host and friend. i've been looking forward to meeting you, dara. whatever you have to say to me can be said in front of her. i see. father, come home. this is wrong. dara, if i could show you the work i have begun. there's still so much for me to do. there is nothing to look at. it is irrelevant your father's work may save your world. that's hardly irrelevant.

all i'm concerned with is you, not your work. your work is over. it is your time to rest. you will feel differently as you get a little older say, approaching 60. my father taught me to cherish the resolution. you have poisoned him to reject it. it's an obscene ritual. how dare you criticize my way of life and my beliefs. please... dara. please. where will you go? hmm. i don't know. and where will you die? i cannot bear the thought of you being laid to rest on some other world-- that you will not lie beside my mother that i will not be able to lie beside you

when my resolution comes. i'm sorry. i don't know how you can go on with your life knowing that each day is an insult to everything we believe in. father, i love you... but i am ashamed. i would like to be alone now, please.

well, i'm suddenly not sure of myself. it's a feeling i'm not at all used to. i don't think i like it very much, little one. not sure of yourself? my life has been full. now and then, perhaps it's overflowed a little but i enjoy living. and now i'm asking myself is it possible i was wrong to encourage timicin to choose life? you were honest with him, mother. you had to be. maybe i want him to live just to keep me company.

of course, you do but you didn't this for yourself. you did it for him. did i? then look what i've done to him. he's like a... he's like a man who has lost his faith. i never considered how deeply ingrained this resolution liturgy is. ritual provides structure in society-- good rituals and bad rituals alike. well, this is a bad one. your point of view. well, it should be the point of view of any reasonably intelligent, middle-aged person. unfortunately, it is not. ( door chimes ) i'll, uh... see you later, mother.

excuse me. thank you. you're going back. do you believe that i love you? i do, you know. but filly, if that is my only reason to stay alive... it's not enough. almost. almost, but not quite. i can'be that selfish, lwaxana. i am not the person to lead the revolt.

i do apologize for althe rmoil that i've created. i would deeply regret it if you we returning only to ease diplomatic tensions. is more... much more. then i wish you and your people well. when it is time for another test i will encourage my people to seek your assistance again. well... if for any reason you would like to wait for a few minutes... no, we have already said our good-byes. lwaxana! is it not the cuom for your loved ones to join you at this resolution? you do not have to do this. yes, i do.

permission to disembark, captain? i promise i won't cause any problems down there. permission granted. we are ready, mr. o'brien. ptningadpossley paraunpictesorpoti d niss mor cpotionn a, ca bui forheumanac ptned the ptn ceer wg edutial fndion
