[Bridge] Make it so.
I've run the simulations, Captain. If you want, I'll take the conn.
Thank you, Mister La Forge, but you've done your job. Now I must do mine. I relieve you,
Mister Crusher. Yes, sir.
(Music) All hands, this is Commander Riker. We are
about to engage impulse engines for a short burst. Inertial dampers are on manual. They
may not fully compensate for acceleration. So brace yourselves.
Deflector shield failure. Lethal radiation levels.
Computer, discontinue radiation warning till further notice. It's all yours, sir.
Thank you, Number One. Firing impulse engines. (They glide past the warship. Picard wordlessly
taps at controls, Data does the commentary) Impulse engines are down.
Shutting down all systems. Velocity is one hundred thirty five metres
per second. We will be entering the debris field in eight
seconds. Starboard thruster firing.
Coming to heading three four zero mark one zero.
Thruster is off. Captain, that large mass to port may contain
an assimilator. Port thrusters firing.
No reaction from the assimilator. Okay, we're over the first hurdle.
Sir! Object to port. Port thruster is firing. Sir, the gravitational
attraction of the various masses has reduced our velocity by eight percent. By my calculations,
we no longer have sufficient momentum to clear the debris field.
Thank you, Mister Data. The asteroid's gravity is drawing us closer.
Velocity is increasing. Velocity still increasing. Now at two hundred and nineteen metres per
second. Starboard aft thruster. You have used the asteroid's gravitational pull as a slingshot.
Excellent. We're out. We got through.
You have the conn, Mister Crusher. Yes, sir.
Initiate full restart. Put all systems back online.
With pleasure, sir. Number One, make sure that booby trap doesn't
bother anyone again. Mister Worf, ready photon torpedoes. Set to
detonate on impact with the Promellian vessel. Aye, sir.
(Four red balls, and four big explosions from the ship and three asteroids)
