[Holodeck - Glade]
(They find the three musketeers and the blue boy by the folly)
Like I said, Commander, Barclay's been running some unusual programs.
This is a violation of protocol. Crewmembers should not be simulated in the holodeck.
Commander I don't think there's any regulation against
Well there ought to be. Computer, discontinue programme and erase.
Computer, belay that order. Counsellor?
If Barclay is having difficulty facing reality, to suddenly destroy his only means of escape
would be brutal and could do considerable damage.
HOLO-They are quite disagreeable, aren't they? Shall we have at them?
HOLO-Delighted. HOLO-We shall thrash them.
HOLO-En garde. Stop it. Put that down.
HOLO-Your sword, sir. I don't have a sword.
HOLO-How do expect to fight without your sword, sir?
I don't expect to fight. HOLO-Ha! Do I detect a streak of yellow along
the good fellow's back? Perhaps we can supply a more appropriate adversary for him. Number
One! WESLEY: Number One!
HOLO-Here I come. (Enter a much reduced version of Riker)
HOLO-Am I late? Did I miss the fight? En garde! You, sir, you have a familiar bearing. Is
it possible our swords have crossed somewhere before?
Where is he? Where's Barclay? HOLO-Ah, a personal grudge. I warn you. It
would be wise for you to put your affairs in final order before you meet him in combat.
You challenge the greatest sword in all the holodeck.
You think this is funny? You are very tall. It might be threatening
to some people. Mister Barclay will find out what it means
to be threatened. Computer, discontinue image of Riker.
HOLO-Sir, you have no sense of fair play. Just tell us where to find Barclay.
(The musketeers sit down instead) You want us to search through all this to
find him? It could provide us with valuable information
about what's troubling him. You know, there's nothing wrong with a healthy fantasy life,
as long as you don't let it take over. You call this healthy?
You're taking it so seriously. It's not without its element of humour.
HOLO-I am the goddess of Empathy. Cast off your inhibitions and embrace love, truth,
joy. Oh, my God.
HOLO-Discard your facades and reveal your true being to me.
Computer, discontinue. Computer, belay that order! We want to get
more insight into what's been troubling the poor man, remember? Quite a healthy fantasy
life, wouldn't you say? (Geordi agrees)
[Bridge]
Report. Sir, our velocity increased to warp seven
point two five. Compensating, sir.
Confirmed. Velocity now warp seven. Maintain that. What the hell happened?
The matter-antimatter injectors locked for a split second. I am not certain why, sir.
They appear to be working properly now. Picard to La Forge.
LAFORGE [OC]: Go ahead, Captain. Commander, any explanation for this injector
problem?
[Holodeck - Glade]
Well, I'm not in Engineering, sir. I'm in holodeck two.
PICARD [OC]: Another malfunction? Not exactly, but I'll return to Engineering
immediately, sir.
[Bridge]
Yes, I should say you should, Commander. Your holodeck activities can wait until later.
And Commander. LAFORGE [OC]: Yes, sir?
It would be wise to consult Lieutenant Barclay
[Holodeck - Glade]
PICARD [OC]: On this latest incident. I'd like to very much, Captain. La Forge out.
We need to find Barclay now. HOLO-Cast aside your masks and let me slip
into your minds. Muzzle it.
(they walk on and find Reg sleeping in the lap of Gainsborough Beverly)
Shh!
[Corridor]
We have a lot to talk about, Mister Barclay. Commander, Barclay and I had better get to
Engineering. Dismissed.
