Work Worth Doing


PICARD: 
Mister La Forge, I understand that before the Jenolen crashed, it had conducted an extensive survey of the Dyson sphere. 
Have we been able to access any of those records? 

LAFORGE: 
We did try to download their memory core, but it was pretty heavily damaged in the crash. We actually haven't been able to get much out of it. 

PICARD: 
Perhaps Captain Scott could be of use in accessing that material. 

LAFORGE: 
It's •possible•. He does know those systems better than any of us. 
I'll have Lieutenant Bartel beam down with him. 

PICARD: 
Mister La Forge, I would like YOU to accompany Captain Scott. 

LAFORGE: 
Me, sir? 

PICARD: 
Yes. Look, this is not an order, it's a request and it's one which you must feel perfectly free to decline. 

You see, one of the most important things in a person's life is to feel USEFUL. 
Now, Mister Scott is a Starfleet officer and I would like him to feel useful again. 

LAFORGE: 
I'll go with him, sir. 

PICARD: 
Thank you.
