Captain Jean-Luc Picard
- Lt. Commander Data: Captain, we're here. Why not avail ourselves of this opportunity for study? There is a giant protostar here in the process of forming. No other vessel has been out this far.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Spoken like a true Starfleet graduate.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: What is our velocity?
- Lt. Commander Data: It's off the scale, sir.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Reverse engines.
- Lt. Commander Data: Captain, no one has ever reversed engines at this velocity.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: It's because no one has gone this fast. Reverse engines.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Captain's log, stardate 41263.2 - This will be a rather unusual log entry, assuming Starfleet ever receives it. As I already informed my crew, a phenomenal surge of power during a warp speed experiment has sent our starship hurtling out of our own galaxy and past another, taking us over 2,700,000 light years - in a few minutes.
- Lieutenant Geordi La Forge: Message on this has already been transmitted to Starfleet, sir.
- Lt. Commander Data: Which, traveling subspace, they should receive in 51 years, ten months, nine weeks, 16 days...
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Mr. Data.
- The Traveler: Are you familiar with the intricacies of what is called here 'music'?
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Somewhat.
- The Traveler: And such musical genius as I saw in one of your ship's libraries, one called Mozart, who as a small child wrote astonishing symphonies, a genius who made music not only to be heard, but seen and felt beyond the understanding, the ability of others? Wesley is such a person, not with music, but with the equally lovely intricacies of time, energy, propulsion, and the instruments of this vessel, which allow all that to be played.
- Lieutenant Geordi La Forge: Our position reads exactly what it was before this sleigh ride began, sir.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Cease red alert.
- Lt. Commander Data: "Sleigh ride"?
- Lieutenant Geordi La Forge: Or whatever you want to call it, Data. I don't have a proper name for it.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Attention all decks. This is to inform you that, with your support, the Traveler has returned us to our own galaxy; however, he has now left us. Wherever he has gone - we wish him well.
- Lieutenant Geordi La Forge: All stop, sir.
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Yes... But where is this place?
- Lt. Commander Data: Where none have gone before...
- [last lines]
- Commander Riker: Sir, shall I send for Doctor Crusher?
- Captain Picard: Why? Is someone ill? Or would you rather tell her about this, Wes?
- Wesley Crusher: If you don't mind, sir, I'd like to sit here awhile. I'll tell her later.
