BOOM!

 

TASHA: My God! Was that a phaser blast?

Riker: You, Tasha, and Geordi will beam up to the ship. Now, come on, I want to see exactly what's happening.

 

TROI: Don't. If you should be hurt

 

Riker: You have your orders, Lieutenant. Carry them out.

 

Deanna: Yes, sir. I'm sorry, sir. (Riker and Data leave) Enterprise, three to beam up.

[Bandi city]

(Data and Riker phaser open a door and rush through)

Riker: Riker to Enterprise, come in.

 

PICARD [OC]: Commander Riker, come in. Where are you?

 

RIKER: With Data, on the edge of the old Bandi city. It's being hit hard, Sir. Many casualties. Very powerful.

 

[Bridge]

PICARD: And Farpoint Station? Any damage there?

 

Riker: (over comm) Negative on any damage to Farpoint. Whoever they are, it seems they're carefully avoiding hitting the station.

 

PICARD: It's from an unidentified vessel that's entered into orbit with us here.

[Bandi city]

PICARD [OC]: No ID, no answer to our signals.

 

Riker: The old Bandi city's being hit hard. Many casualties, very probable.

 

Picard: Understand, Commander. Would you object to your Captain ordering a clearly illegal kidnapping?

 

[Bandi city]

RIKER: No objection, sir.
