Key Dialogue
"PICARD'S COM VOICE: Lieutenant Worf, I'm going to try and break this impasse. Monitor carefully."
"WORF (to Wesley): Aye sir. Set the computer. When the energy level reaches two point six point two-oh-five, automatically beam up Troi and Prieto. We'll do a parallel transport of the captain."
