Picard: "Captain's Log, Stardate 45494.2. We're investigating a series of
subspace signals that may indicate intelligent life in the Epsilon Solar
system. We are within sensor range."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Data: "A characteristic response to the Kriskoff Gambit is to counter with the
El Mitra Exchange, particularly since I have already taken both of your rooks.
By missing that opportunity, you have left your king vulnerable."
Troi: "We'll see."
Data: "As you wish, Counselor."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Data: "Intriguing. You have devised a completely unanticipated response to a
classic attack. You will checkmate my king in seven moves."
Troi: "Data, chess isn't just a game of plays and gambits. It's a game of
intuition."
Data: "Hmm."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Data: "You are a challenging opponent, Counselor."
Troi: "Thanks. But don't think a compliment's going to get you out of our bet.
You owe me one Sumerian Sunset made in the *traditional style*...as you can
only make it, Data."
Data: "I will honor our agreement."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Kristin: "What do you think?"
Beverly: "Well, it looks like you tucked when you should've flattened out."
Kristin: "Something like that."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Beverly: "If I remember correctly, the last time you graced my Sickbay, you were
diving off the Cliffs of Heaven on Sumico IV, Holodeck Program Forty-Seven C."
Kristin: "Same thing, only that time I flattened out when I should've tucked."
Beverly: "Well, as your doctor, I would like to recommend the Emerald Wading
Pool on Sirus IV. A lot safer."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Riker: "The navigators on this ship have been doing flight handling assessments
the same way for years, Ensign!"
Ro: "And I found a better way."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Riker: "Do you mind if we discuss changes in procedure before you make them?"
Ro: "If I had to come to you in advance and ask you to do it my way--"
Riker: "I might have said--"
Ro: "No."
Riker: "Yes, maybe."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Riker: "The point is that I didn't get the chance."
Ro: "'The point is', with all due respect, Commander, you are trying to turn me
into your idea of the model officer."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Riker: "The rules on this ship do not change just because Ro Laran decides they
do."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Data: "One Sumerian Sunset, made in the traditional style."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Troi: "It's beautiful."
Data: "I hope you enjoy it." [Flash] "I hope you enjoy it."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Picard: "What happened?"
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
LaForge: "What the hell?"
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Riker: "I don't know who any of you are."
Picard: "Neither do I. I don't...I don't even remember who I am."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
LaForge: "Looks like we're all in the same boat."
Riker: "Make that 'the same starship'."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Ro: "Well, it looks like I'm the pilot."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Riker: "This console is tactical configuration."
Worf: "Yes, phaser power status, intruder scan, torpedo guidance."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Riker: "A good chance, this is our ship. Looks like you're the leader."
Worf: "Perhaps we should not jump to conclusions. *I* am decorated as well."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Riker: "The remains of another ship."
LaForge: "It's a good possibility."
Worf: "Or perhaps, we were engaged in battle.""
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Picard: "Um, Computer, status report."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Ro: "That rules out our distress signal."
Riker: "If we even knew where to send it."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Picard: "This ship must have a crew."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Worf: "Bridge to all personnel, select a representative from your group to
contact the Bridge and report on your status. Remain where you are, and stay
calm. Bridge out."
Kristin: "Well that helps a lot."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Kristin: "This hurts."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Beverly: "At least I have an idea of what I'm doing here."
Kristin: "But, what about me? I mean I'm a patient in a bathing suit. That
doesn't say much."
Beverly: "No it doesn't."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Kristin: "Do you have any clothes around here I could borrow? At least until I
figure out where the swimming pool is?"
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
MacDuff: "There are over a thousand people onboard."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Worf: "I've just completed a survey of our tactical systems. We are equipped
with ten phaser banks, two-hundred and fifty photon torpedoes, and a high-
capacity shield grid."
MacDuff: "We're a battleship."
Worf: "Yes, it appears so."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Riker: "We should start with the most crucial areas first."
Ro: "Main Engineering, Deck Thirty-Six, I'm on my way."
Riker: "Whoa, wait a minute. We've got to coordinate our efforts here first."
Ro: "I just need to *do* something."
Riker: "Look, I feel the same way, we all do, but if anything's going to get
done..."
Ro: "I know, I just...it's really an ugly feeling I don't like being so out of
control."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Riker: "We're going to search the ship."
Worf: "Very well, *proceed*."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Riker: "It'd be nice if we all had names."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Worf: "As soon as the ship is operational, we must make it combat-ready."
Picard: "Well, I would recommend that before we prepare for combat we try to
access the ship's logs, find out who we are, what our purpose here might be."
Worf: "Well I disagree. We must first make ourselves ready for battle. *That*
is the highest priority."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Worf: "Now we are ready."
Picard: "Question is, for what?"
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Picard: "We should run a full diagnostic on all command systems."
Worf: "A 'full diagnostic' would require us to take our systems offline. We
would be defenseless."
Picard: "If we're going to trust *our* lives to these systems, we should be
certain that they're not going to fail."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Worf: "What have you found, Doctor?"
Beverly: "Not much. The brain scans I've run are unusual, but there's no
damage to the hypocampus. That suggests that we still have our long-term
memories, but somehow they're being blocked."
Picard: "Is it possible to bypass these normal pathways, to get at these
memories some other way?"
Beverly: "That's what I'm hoping. What I need now is to see some normal brain
scans for a comparison. Is there any chance I can get the crew's medical
files?"
Worf: "No, we are currently running a full diagnostic. Computer resources are
limited."
Picard: "The medical records are our next priority."
Beverly: "Thank you."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Ro: "Well, that's it for the living quarters on this deck. What's next?"
Riker: "There's a large room up ahead called Ten Forward."
Ro: "Let's go."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Ro: "So if everything were back to the way it was supposed to be, what do you
think you'd be doing now?"
Riker: "I'd be having more fun than searching this ship, I'd imagine."
Ro: "Fun."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Riker: "Well, with that Holodeck we just saw. I think I could conjure up an
interesting program or two."
Ro: "Now that's disappointing."
Riker: "Why?"
Ro: "You don't strike me as a man who needs a Holodeck to have a good time."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Riker: "Have you found out anything that might give us some insight into what
happened?"
Troi: "Not specifically, but there are two things that seem unusual. The
bartender is an artificial lifeform."
Data: "Can I get you something? A beverage?"
Riker: "No, thank you."
Ro: "No, I'm fine."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Riker: "Your memories are gone as well?"
Data: "The databanks that identify who I am...are not functioning."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Riker: "You're going to mention something else?"
Troi: "I don't know if it means anything, but I seem to have an ability that the
others don't. I have a very strong sense of what other people are feeling.
At times, it's...almost..."
Riker: "Is something wrong?"
Troi: "No. Just for a moment, you seemed familiar."
Riker: "You remember me?"
Troi: "Not exactly, I, I mean I don't know who you are, but...there's something
about you."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Computer: "Commanding Officer, Captain Jean-Luc Picard. Executive Officer,
Commander Keiran MacDuff. Second Officer, Commander William Riker.
Operations Officer, Lieutenant Commander Data. Chief Medical Officer, Doctor
Beverly Crusher. Ship's Counselor, Lieutenant Commander Deanna Troi. Chief
Engineer, Lieutenant Commander Geordi LaForge. Security Chief, Lieutenant
Worf. Helm Officer, Ensign Ro Laran."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Picard: "Commander...MacDuff, have the other officers listed here report to the
Bridge."
MacDuff: "Aye, sir."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Picard: "Your next priority will be to retrieve any information you can about
this ship's mission. Contact the Operations Officer to assist you."
LaForge: "Aye, sir."
Ro: "He's in Ten Forward, waiting tables."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Worf: "Captain...I regret my recent behavior. I assumed an attitude of
authority that was...unwarranted."
Picard: "Mister Worf, we're all doing the best we can in a difficult situation.
Think nothing more of it."
Worf: "Thank you, Captain."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Data: "This vessel is called the 'Enterprise'. We are part of an organization
called 'The United Federation Of Planets'."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Worf: "Our choice is clear."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Riker: "These are your quarters."
Troi: "Thanks for your help. Come in for a minute?"
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Troi: "Nothing feels right. This room, this ship, most of all, this war we're
fighting."
Riker: "I don't imagine war ever feels right."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Riker: "What is it?"
Troi: "That same feeling. *You* seem familiar, you're the only thing that
does."
Riker: "Can you remember anything specific about us?"
Troi: "I don't know... It's, it's more like remembering an emotion, feelings
that you're somehow associated with."
Riker: "I hope they're good feelings."
Troi: "Yes they are."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Troi: "This entire situation is a little bit unnerving."
Riker: "It's been a long day, we've all been through a lot."
Troi: "We certainly have."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Ro: "Hi."
Riker: "I know I didn't get the wrong room."
Ro: "I just didn't like the way my quarters were decorated. Besides, I have
this funny feeling that maybe I spend most of my off hours here."
Riker: "Really."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Ro: "For all we know, you and I could be married."
Riker: "'For all we know', you and I could hate each other."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Ro: "Sort of exciting, isn't it? You just don't know?"
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Riker: "We might regret this."
Ro: "Regret *what*? Aren't you being a little presumptuous?"
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Ro: "Like I said, I just didn't like the way my quarters were decorated."
Riker: "Then maybe we should switch quarters."
Ro: "Maybe we should stay right here and see what happens."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Riker: "What if I snore in my sleep?"
Ro: "What makes you think you're going to *get* any sleep?"
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Picard: "Tactical analysis, Mister Data."
Data: "The destroyer has minimal shields. Their disrupter capacity appears to
be only two-point-one megajules."
Riker: "They're no match for the Enterprise."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Picard: "Return fire."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
MacDuff: "Well done, Captain."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Picard: "Doctor, the success of this mission would be much more *likely* if we
could get our memories back."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Picard: "Proceed."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
LaForge: "You must have been one hell of a bartender."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
LaForge: "Well it's too bad there aren't more of you around. We could certainly
use the help."
Data: "Yes."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
LaForge: "I wonder why you're the only one on board?"
Data: "I have expended considerable thought with respect to my apparent
uniqueness among the crew."
LaForge: "Any conclusions?"
Data: "Several possibilities suggest themselves. I may represent an entire
*race* of artificial lifeforms. If so there may be a home planet for others
of my kind, a shared history and a culture of which I am not presently aware."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
LaForge: "Then again, you could've been built just for this ship."
Data: "I have considered that possibility as well. It may also be the case that
every starship in the Federation is equipped with an artificial lifeform such
as myself."
LaForge: "Hmm. If that's true, maybe you all look alike. A standard-issue
android, hard to construct, so only one allowed per vessel."
Data: "Hmm."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Data: "There is another possibility. Perhaps my origin is unique. In that case
I am alone."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Troi: "I'm restless. Mind if I visit for a while?"
Riker: "Please."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Riker: "What's wrong?"
Troi: "Everything. Every time I think about this war, our mission, I feel a
sense of panic like a hand is closing around my throat."
Riker: "You're never going to feel good about this war, none of us will. But
we've got to complete our mission."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Riker: "I've been doing a little research. Trying to find out more about
William T. Riker."
Troi: "What have you discovered?"
Riker: "He's a musician, for one thing." [Plays trombone]
Troi: "Very impressive."
Riker: "No one was more surprised than I."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Troi: "So what else has your research uncovered about William Riker?"
Riker: "Exactly medically inclined, loves to climb mountains, is from somewhere
called 'Alaska', enjoys exotic food, and takes his vacations on a planet
called 'Risa'."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Troi: "_Ode To Psyche_ by John Keats."
Riker: "Open it."
Troi: "'To Will. All my love, Deanna.'"
Riker: "That may explain some of the familiar feelings we have."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Troi: "I don't know what to think."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Ro: "Counselor?"
Troi: "Ensign."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Ro: "Am I interrupting anything?"
Riker and Troi: "No."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Troi: "I was just visiting, uh... We'll talk again soon, Commander."
Riker: "Of course. Thank you, Counselor."
Ro: "Bye."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Ro: "And what was all of that about?"
Riker: "Oh, we were just discussing the...situation we're all in."
Ro: "Mmm, good. Because I have a feeling that I used to be the jealous type."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Picard: "Doctor, is it absolutely necessary to see the medical files to attempt
treatment?"
Beverly: "It would be *dangerous* to do without them."
Riker: "It's a risk I think we have to take."
MacDuff: "He's right, Captain. I volunteer for the procedure."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Beverly: "We're lucky we didn't lose you."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Beverly: "Do you remember anything more about yourself?"
MacDuff: "No, I'm sorry, Doctor."
Beverly: "Back to square one."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Picard: "I find myself having grave concerns about our mission."
MacDuff: "'Concerns' as, as to its success?"
Picard: "No, no, no, more fundamental doubts. Whether or not it can be
*justified*."
MacDuff: "I have been asking myself the same thing. I'm sure our superiors feel
their orders are justified."
Picard: "Orders we can't even *verify*."
MacDuff: "Orders we can't *ignore*."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Picard: "But I can't also ignore that we greatly outclassed the *one* enemy
vessel we encountered. And every single possible shred of information which
might shed some light on this situation has been conveniently eliminated! I
feel...as though I have been handed a weapon, sent into a room, and told to
shoot a stranger. Well I need some moral context to jusify that action."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Picard: "I'm not content simply to obey orders."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Picard: "I need to know that what I am doing is *right*."
MacDuff: "So do I. I'd feel a lot better if all the questions were answered.
And if you want to abandon our mission until our memories return that's your
choice, but I must ask you...is it right to risk prolonging this war? To
allow the needless deaths of thousands on both sides...solely on the basis of
our moral discomfort?"
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
MacDuff: "Memory or no, it seems clear that you and I were born for battle...
more so than the others."
Worf: "I thought this as well."
MacDuff: "It's conceivable that that is the very reason why we have been
assigned to this vessel."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
MacDuff: "The Enterprise has science officers, medical specialists, engineers.
Our captain is undoubtedly an *accomplished* diplomat. But we...we are the
warriors. There are times for diplomacy, this is not one of them."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Worf: "You are concerned about the captain."
MacDuff: "I am concerned about completing our mission and ending this war...in
victory."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
MacDuff: "We may soon face a critical moment. The success of our mission may
hang on a split-second decision. Hesitation would kill us all. I know that
they're counting on us would surely die as well. We cannot let this happen.
That'll be all."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Picard: "Tactical analysis, Mister Data."
Data: "The pods are equipped with fusion-generated pulse lasers and minimal
shielding."
Riker: "Not much power there."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Data: "We are through the perimeter, sir."
Riker: "That was too easy."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Worf: "We have yet to encounter any battleships. They may lie ahead."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
MacDuff: "Approaching Central Command."
Picard: "Mister Data, scan for defenses."
Data: "I am picking up no vessels, no additional sentry pods."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
MacDuff: "Phaser banks ready, loading torpedoes."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Picard: "What are the defensive capabilities of the Central Command?"
Data: "Armaments consist of four laser cannons and thirty-nine cobalt-fusion
warheads with magnetic propulsion. Defensive shield output is four-point-
three-kilojules."
Riker: "One photon torpedo ought to do it."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Troi: "Data, how many people on that station?"
Data: "Fifteen-thousand, three-hundred-eleven."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
MacDuff: "We're within range, Captain."
Picard: "Standby."
MacDuff: "Waiting on your orders, sir."
Troi: "Captain, this isn't right."
MacDuff: "The rest of our forces are depending on us."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Riker: "How could our mortal enemy be over one-hundred years behind us in
weapons technology?"
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
MacDuff: "Their battleships will be on their way right now. We must attack!"
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Picard: "I do not fire on defenseless people."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Picard: "Mister Worf, open a channel to the Lysians."
MacDuff: "Delay that order! There's something wrong with the captain, I'm
taking command of this vessel! Fire all weapons!"
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Picard: "Captain's Log, Supplemental. We are on a course to Starbase 301.
Doctor Crusher has been working steadily, and has restored the memories of
most of the crew."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Picard: "One photon torpedo would've ended their war."
Riker: "It almost did."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Riker: "I hope I'm not interrupting."
Ro and Troi: "No."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Ro: [To Riker] "I was hoping to run into you."
Troi: [To Riker] "Please, sit down."
Riker: "Well, I'm glad that I ran into the, the two of you. When you have no
memory of who you are, or who anybody else is, you find yourself in a hairy--"
Ro: "The counselor tells me that at times like that, we might do the things that
we've always wanted to do."
Riker: "She said that?"
Troi: "It's psychologically valid."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Ro: "Commander, don't worry about it. But as far as I'm concerned, you and I
have shared something that we will treasure forever."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
Riker: "Well, I'm a little confused."
Troi: "Well, if you're still confused tomorrow, you know where my office is."
-- "Conundrum", Stardate 45494.2
