LIEUTENANT
Coupla cadets took a training
Runabout out for a joyride...
Dougherty picks up the transmitter...

DOUGHERTY
This is Admiral Matthew Dougherty.
Identify yourself.

INTERCUTTING:

INT. RUNABOUT

A devil-may-care glint in Picard’s eye...

DOUGHERTY’S COM VOICE
I repeat. Identify yourself.

DUFFY
Well, I guess it’s back to the family
furniture business in Oslo... it’s been fun...

PICARD
The fun’s just starting.

INT. TOWER (OPTICAL)

DOUGHERTY
Confine all cadets to quarters
and begin a bed check. Override
their shields... have a replacement
crew stand-by for transport...

On the last word, the window behind him is filled with the Runabout’s belly as it
booms by the tower... everything shakes, people duck for cover...

TNT. RUNABOUT

Duffy’s checking sensors...
