Plot

After discovering a derelict ship in an asteroid belt, the Enterprise is trapped in an energy field that prevents them from leaving. Furthermore, they begin to lose energy reserves and discover that their shields will not keep out the radiation for long. Geordi races against time, with the as- sistance of an holographic version of one of the ship's designers, to discover a way to escape the deadly trap.

Quotes

Picard: "Didn't any of you ever play with ships in bottles when you were boys?"
Worf: "I did not play with toys."
Data: "I was never a boy."
O'Brien: "I did, sir."
Picard: "Thank *You*"

Worf: "Admirable. They died at their posts."

LaForge: "I just don't get it, Guinan. I can field strip a fusion reactor. I can realign a power transfer tunnel. Why can't I make things work with a woman like Christy? It's like...I don't know what to do. I don't know what to say."
Guinan: "You're doing fine with me."
LaForge: "You're different."
Guinan: "No, you're different."
LaForge: "But I'm not trying now."
Guinan: "That's my point."

[The ship is not moving, LaForge checks why]
LaForge: "Commander, we should be going like a bat out of hell."

[Having met Brahms on the holodeck]
LaForge: "Great, another woman who won't get personal with me on the Holodeck."

Brahms: "I am not used to having people question my judgement."
LaForge: "And I'm not used to dying."

LaForge: "You worked in a lab on a static model. This is a working machine. It's got tens of thousands of light years on it."

LaForge: "Don't go away. I mean, Computer, save program."

Picard: "Ensign Crusher, I relieve you."
