The Insurers Would Not Be Happy

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 11657

"Do you really need to reclaim the ship?" Stacy asked. "After all, you managed to download my memories from it, so presumably you could do the same with the data that it collected." "The data, yes, but what about the preserved samples that would be held in sealed containers: soil, atmosphere, plants and so forth. Perhaps more important still, a ship capable of interstellar travel is a very expensive item, and we can't just leave it on your planet without making an effort to retrieve it. Unfortunately it is not possible for us to start the engines and pilot it remotely, so we need to send someone down to it.

"Now, Stacy, since you are human you obviously have a far better chance than we do of getting aboard without causing the alarm to be raised. We would welcome your ideas on how you might most readily do so, since you will know your own species better than we do. Once you have managed to get on board, you must close and lock the door behind you to prevent anyone else gaining entry. Then:

  1. "You must activate the ship's transmat system, and beam some of us down to crew the vessel. Unfortunately we can't activate the transmat from here."
  2. "You must pilot the ship into orbit for us. We took the liberty of adding the necessary knowledge when we restored your memories."
  3. "Radio us for further instructions."
