"Masks" Line-by-Line

[Enterprise1981]

PICARD: Begin a full sensor analysis, Mister Data, and log the findings with the Federation Astrophysical Survey.

 

[Orac]

Data: Aye, sir. The comet's outer shell is composed primarily of gaseous hydrogen and helium surrounding an icy mantle. The inner core consists of heavier elements.

 

[ElimGarak.93-99]

[A light flash is seen on the bridge]

Picard: What was that?

 

[LeadHead]

Data: There is distortion in the comets inner core. I believe we experienced an intense sensor echo.

 

[Enterprise1981]

RIKER: Can you correct for it?

 

[LeadHead]

Data: I am attempting to do so now, sir. I have compensated for the effect. Sensors are reconfigured for a low intensity sweep. We are still picking up some interference, but the distortion is manageable. At these settings, the scan will be complete in 39 hours.

 

[Orac]

[Troi's quarters]

Crusher: Worf says he's going to teach us some mok'bara throwing techniques today.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

TROI: More like falling techniques. Last time we did that I was sore for a week.

 

[ElimGarak.93-99]

Crusher: What's this?

 

[Athena28]

TROI: I have no idea. I've never seen it before.

 

[Orac]

Crusher: Maybe Will left it for you. A little present?

 

[Gul Re'jal]

TROI: It's not quite his style.

 

[Enterprise1981]

CRUSHER: Then maybe it's a secret admirer.

 

[Athena28]

TROI: That's an interesting thought.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

CRUSHER: Well, you'll figure it out later. Come on, we're going to be late.
(Troi and Crusher leave, and a compass rose appears on the top stone)

 

[Enterprise1981]

[Classroom]

TROI: (to a child) That's nice. (saunters over to Data) Data, this is amazing. How did you come up with this?

 

[Athena28]

DATA: I followed your advice, Counselor. I used my imagination.

 

[Enterprise1981]

TROI: (in reference to a half-face mask with a compass rose motif on the forehead; the same as the one on the gift in Troi's quarters) That's an understatement.

 

[Athena28]

DATA: For some reason, as I was shaping the clay, the image of the mask was exceptionally clear in my mind. The design seemed to flow quite naturally.

 

[Enterprise1981]

TROI: Data, have you been in my quarters?
