TASHA: Pain again?

 

Riker: Troi, you've been at it enough.

 

TROI: No, I feel close to an answer of some kind.

 

Data: Commander, something down here is shielding our communicators.

 

TROI: Yes, that's exactly the feeling I've been reading. As if someone doesn't want us to be in touch with our ship.

 

Riker: Come on, lets get to the surface.

WORF: There is no computer record of any such vessel, sir. Nothing even close.

 

Tactical: Still no response, Sir. We've done everything but threaten them.

 

PICARD: Sensor scans, Mister Worf.

 

Worf: Our sensor signals just seem to bounce off. Something's happening, Sir.

On the screen we see the alien ship fire downward toward the planet.

Worf: They're firing on Farpoint, Sir!

 

PICARD: Bring photon torpedoes to ready!
