Geordi_Well, what do you think?
Now what are you doing?
I am awaiting inspiration.
Wesley_Commander Data?
This is Commander Data. Go ahead, please.
I'm getting indicational possible trouble
in main engineering, Sir.
Can you more specify?
I'm afraid not. I'm reading a problem with
the magnetic field which contains the antimatter.
Could you come here appear?
We'll go to engineering, where the trouble
is. Don't disturb the captain or Commander
Riker until we check it out.
Aye, Sir.
Bridge, this is main engineering.
This is the bridge.
Are you running any test programs up there?
No.
Are the Bynars?
Not to my knowledge. Is there a problem?
I don't know. There is no one in duty here.
We're getting very strange readings from
the magnetic containment field.
The field is deteriorating. Contact the captain
immediately. I am initiat in red alert.
Data, I can't maintain the containment field's
integrity.
Engineering to captain. If the antimatter
is released the ship will be destroyed.
Nothing I do has any effect. I'm losing it.
Data, I've rechecked every circuit. This
is not a misread by the computer.
Computer, situation analysis.
Computer_Estimate release of antimatter in four minutes,
18 seconds, 17 seconds, 16 seconds...
Engineering to bridge.
This is the bridge.
Alert Starbase. Inform we are abandoning
the ship. Tell them why, initiate automated
sequence of departure. Set course and speed
to put maximum distance between the Enterprise
and any inhabited planets.
Shouldn't we wait for the captain's approval?
There is no time. Based on available information
the decision is correct. This is Lieutenant
Commander Data speaking for the captain.
Abandon ship, this is not a drill. All personnel,
this is not a drill.

Worf_Still no response from the Enterprise.
They would answer if they could. Someone
else has control of the ship.
Do you think I am responsible?
Responsible? How could you have known?
My station is on the bridge.
You can't be on the bridge every second,
Data.
You are wrong, Geordi. I can. I do not need
rest or diversion. I should not have been
painting. I was negligent.
Tasha_That's a pointless discussion, Data. You
could have been on the bridge and it still
might have happened.
