I'll check it. 340 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,269 Run a localized subspace scan to look for anything else. 341 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:23,998 Aye, sir. 342 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,996 Keep me advised. 343 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,639 - Crusher to Commander La Forge. - La Forge here. 344 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,233 Geordi, 345 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:50,679 I just heard what sounded like voices in my room, but no one else is here. 346 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,314 Sensors just picked up something strange too. 347 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,756 - We're checking it out. - I'm on my way. 348 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,110 Looks like you managed to record 6.2 seconds worth. 349 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,999 Let's see if we can filter the signal and clear it up a little bit. 350 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:12,878 Then I wasn'tjust hearing things? 351 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,951 The sound itself appears to have been real. 352 00:25:15,120 --> 00:25:18,476 However, the acoustic energy does not correspond to any ship's system, 353 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,393 nor to any voice communication sent at the time you heard it. 354 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,352 Then where did the sound come from? 355 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,033 Well, you heard voices at the same time 356 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,556 our localized subspace scan picked up a dekyon field distortion. 357 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:29,948 The two may be related. 358 00:25:30,120 --> 00:25:32,395 Let's give another listen. 359 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,671 Computer, perform a narrow bandwidth analysis. 360 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,832 Eliminate all non-vocal waveform components. 361 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,034 Can we isolate the voices, find out what they're saying? 362 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,556 Computer, continuous playback, please. 363 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,268 There are approximately 1000 voices overlapping. 364 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,473 The voices are those of the Enterprise crew. 365 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,311 Our voices. 366 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,509 I'm sorry to call you all here so early. 367 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,910 But we couldn't wait until 0700 hours. 368 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,356 We think we may have an explanation for the odd occurrences around here. 369 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:40,555 Commander. 370 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,359 This is going to sound pretty wild. 371 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:48,310 Somehow we've entered what seems to be a temporal causality loop. 372 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,040 We think we're stuck in a specific fragment in time 373 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,670 and we've been repeating that same fragment over and over again. 374 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,472 Is this what's causing our déja—vu? 375 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,039 Yes, but it's more than that. 376 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,033 In déja-vu, you only think you're repeating events. 377 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:02,633 We actually are. 378 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,028 Our theory is this. 379 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,191 Every time the loop begins again, 380 00:27:06,360 --> 00:27:08,874 everything resets itself, and starts all over. 381 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,110 We don't remember anything that happened before, 382 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,272 so each time through the loop, we think it's the first. 383 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,516 We could have come into this room, sat at this table, 384 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,671 and had this conversation a dozen times already? 385 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,034 A dozen, a hundred. 386 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:21,958 It's impossible to tell. 387 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:27,234 We could have been trapped here for hours, days, maybe years. 388 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,197 If what we're saying is true, 389 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,269 those voices I heard might have been echoes from previous loops. 390 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,715 It's the same with the phase shift in my visor, 391 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,399 afterimages in time. 392 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:40,559 If you're right about this, 393 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,876 how did it happen? How did we get there? 394 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,873 I have a hypothesis that may explain that, captain. 395 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,600 I have analyzed the recording Dr. Crusher made. 396 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,318 Most of it is quite ordinary. 397 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,432 One hundred fifty discussions about ship operations, 398 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,478 252 conversations of a personal nature, 399 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,710 five couples engaged in romantic encounters. 400 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,552 Your point, Mr. Data. 401 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,789 There is evidence of some sort of disaster aboard the Enterprise 402 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:09,590 severe enough that the captain ordered all hands to abandon ship. 403 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,992 I have isolated three segments of this recording that are crucial. 404 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,596 A highly—localized distortion 405 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,193 of a space—time continuum. 406 00:28:18,360 --> 00:28:21,796 Collision course. Impact in 36 seconds. 407 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,598 All hands abandon ship. 408 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,553 Repeat, all hands abandon-- 409 00:28:27,360 --> 00:28:29,430 Worf refers to a distortion. 410 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,950 If this were a temporal distortion, and if we were close enough to it, 411 00:28:33,120 --> 00:28:35,076 it's possible that a large enough explosion 412 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,356 might have ruptured the space—time continuum. 413 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,718 We collided, exploded, then got caught in this repeating loop of time. 414 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,190 If you're right, we could escape from the loop by avoiding the collision. 415 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:46,788 That's our guess. 416 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,311 Perhaps we should reverse course. 417 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,558 For all we know, reversing course may be what leads us into the crash. 418 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,477 No. We can't afford to start second-guessing ourselves. 419 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,518 We'll stay on this course until we have reason to change it. 420 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:04,036 But let's do everything that we can to avoid the collision. 421 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,475 Captain, we might not be able to figure out 422 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,591 how to avoid this accident until it's too late. 423 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,318 And if the loop begins again, 424 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,119 we'll forget everything we learned this time around. 425 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:16,435 What do you suggest? 426 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,989 If we do find a way to avoid this collision, 427 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,993 we should try to send that information into the next loop. 428 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:23,829 Is that possible? 429 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,511 We have seen that echoes, or afterimages from previous loops, 430 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,513 appear as distortions in the dekyon field. 431 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,355 We may be able to send a deliberate echo into the next loop. 432 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,750 — Like a message in a bottle. - Exactly. 433 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,918 We could enhance a dekyon emission to create a specific pattern, 434 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,389 and send ourselves a message. Not a long one, 435 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,996 probably only a few characters. Maybe one word. 436 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,469 How do we know we'll pick up that word the next time through? 437 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,678 If the dekyon emission is modulated correctly, 438 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,549 it will set up resonances in my positronic subprocessors. 439 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,793 I will receive the information on what you would call a subconscious level. 440 00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:01,279 Now, there's the catch. 441 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,552 We have no way of knowing how this information will be perceived by Data. 442 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,996 It might be like a, a post—hypnotic suggestion. 443 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,475 Even with all these uncertainties we've got to try. 444 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,315 Take whatever steps are necessary to send a message. Dismissed. 445 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,439 You know, it's possible we've tried this a thousand times 446 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,955 and it's never worked. 447 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,635 Do you have the feeling that you've done this before? 448 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,910 - No, I don't. - Neither do I. 449 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:27,559 Maybe that's a good sign. 450 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,990 Let's test the emitter. 451 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:36,239 Particle accelerators at full power. 452 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:41,155 Dekyon field active, particle flux nominal. 453 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,517 - We're in business. - All we need now is a message. 454 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,511 Senior officers report to the Bridge. 455 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,477 On our way. 456 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,912 We've got to figure out how we handled this before. 457 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:58,958 Back us off, ensign. 458 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:00,473 Nice and slow. 459 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,437 Aye, sir. 460 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,276 Captain, maneuvering thrusters are not responding. 461 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,908 The distortion field is fluctuating. 462 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,635 All main systems just went down.

I'll check it out. 556 00:37:13,720 --> 00:37:15,995 While you're at it, run a localized subspace scan 557 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:17,513 to look for anything unusual. 558 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:19,399 Aye, sir. 559 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:21,633 Keep me advised, doctor. 560 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,989 Lateral sensors online, subspace scanners, active. 561 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:33,631 Data, would you run a level two diagnostic on the warp subsystems? 562 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,555 All threes. That can't be right. 563 00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:45,280 I encountered the numeral three an inordinate number of times 564 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:46,793 over the last two hours. 565 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:54,800 We have a dekyon field fluctuation on Deck 9, section 28. 566 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,479 Crusher to Commander La Forge. 567 00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:57,675 La Forge here. 568 00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,876 I just heard what sounded like voices in my room. 569 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:01,678 But there's no one here. 570 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,519 Sensors just picked up something strange too. We're checking it out. 571 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,750 I'm on my way down. 572 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,313 Dr. Crusher?

Impact in 36 seconds. 577 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:29,396 All hands abandon ship. Repeat, all hands abandon-- 578 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,596 Worf refers to a distortion. 579 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,797 If this were a temporal distortion, and if we were close enough to it, 580 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,996 it's possible that a large enough explosion 581 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,913 might have ruptured the space—time continuum. 582 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:45,074 We collided, exploded, then got stuck in this repeating loop of time. 583 00:38:45,240 --> 00:38:48,789 If you're right, perhaps we can escape from the loop by avoiding the collision. 584 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:49,995 That's our guess. 585 00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,673 Perhaps we should reverse course. 586 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,912 For all we know, reversing course might be what leads us to the crash. 587 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,071 We can't afford to start second-guessing ourselves. 588 00:38:57,240 --> 00:39:00,152 We should stay on this course until we have reason to change it. 589 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:04,233 But in the meantime, I think we should do what we can to avoid a collision. 590 00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:08,069 Captain, we've been seeing the number three all over the ship. 591 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,475 On consoles, in a poker game. 592 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,029 To date, we have encountered 2,085 593 00:39:13,240 --> 00:39:15,629 conspicuous examples of the number three. 594 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,792 All of these threes can't be coming up by accident. 595 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,195 Maybe someone's trying to tell us something. 596 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,353 We came to the same conclusion, so we ran a shipwide diagnostic. 597 00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,956 The only unusual thing we found was a dekyon field modulation 598 00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,270 in Data's positronic subprocessors. 599 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,431 - — What could be causing it? - I don't know, 600 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,950 but if I wanted to send information from one loop into the next, 601 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,190 I might use a method like a dekyon emission. 602 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:39,839 You think we sent ourselves a message? 603 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,231 Would make sense. Maybe we are trying to tell ourselves something. 604 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,111 If that were true, what could three indicate? 605 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,879 Maybe we should run a level three diagnostic on all key systems. 606 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,190 That's good idea. I'll have the computer run a pattern 607 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:54,839 matching algorithm on the number three. 608 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,434 Bridge to Captain Picard. — Go ahead. 609 00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:58,794 We're getting unusual readings, 610 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,599 20, 000 kilometers off the starboard bow. 611 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:03,718 On our way. 612 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:13,229 Report. 613 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,198 Sensors didn't detect the phenomenon until we were almost on top of it. 614 00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,238 It is a highly—localized distortion of the space—time continuum. 615 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:20,435 On-screen. 616 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:27,916 How do you think we handled this before? 617 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,672 Back us off, ensign. 618 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:33,114 Nice and slow. 619 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:34,594 Aye, sir. 620 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,758 Captain, maneuvering thrusters are not responding. 621 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:41,751 The distortion field is fluctuating. 622 00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:45,792 All main systems just went down. 623 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,718 Power levels are dropping rapidly. 624 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,434 There is an energy build—up in the distortion field. 625 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,636 We have to get out of here now. 626 00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:54,831 Captain, something is emerging. 627 00:40:57,720 --> 00:40:59,950 Shields up.
