Who Watches the Watchers Line-by-Line

CRUSHER: Captain, if he is still alive, he needs medical attention. We must send an away team to locate him.
 
TROI: But our presence must not interfere with the cultural development of the Mintakans.
 
RIKER: I have a suggestion.

First Officer's Log, Stardate 43174.2. Counsellor Troi and I are beaming down to Mintaka Three to locate Doctor Palmer and to determine the extent of the cultural contamination. Doctor Crusher has temporarily altered our features and skin color. She's also implanted subcutaneous communicators so that any transmissions we receive will be inaudible to the Mintakans.



RIKER: Riker to Enterprise. Do you hear me?
 
Data [OC]: Perfectly, Commander. I will be monitoring you continuously.
 
TROI: Mintakan emotions are quite interesting. Like the Vulcans, they have highly ordered minds. A very sensible people. For example, Mintakan women precede their mates. It's a signal to other women.
 
TROI: Not precisely. More like, if you want his services, I'm the one you have to negotiate with.

(Troi and Riker enter as Liko is telling his experience to a grey-haired man)
LIKO: I understand your skepticism. Had it not happened to me, I would find it difficult to accept as well.
 
LIKO: Fento, you know the legends better than anyone. Do they not speak of beings like the kind I've seen?
 
LIKO: I believe I have seen the Overseer. He is called the Picard.

:eek:
