[This post opens to a view of the lake at twilight--on the lake, rather. The video is unsteady; look away if you're the sort of person who is prone to seasickness. Lakesickness. Whatever the network device is balanced on appears to be moving at a good clip.

Oh, wait. The view changes and--yep, that's a giant wooden swan head. Citizens, there is a motorized swan boat doing warp eight going faster than wooden swan boats are probably supposed to go.]

This is the best curse since everything turned to food!

[Not surprisingly, perhaps, that voice belongs to Chekov. Should anyone else be enjoying a nice swan boat ride on the lake... well, be careful. This particular swan's steering system might not be working at optimum levels.]

Li.

[This face.]

Do you know anything about memory loss?

Memory loss? [ The disapproving frown fades to a look of confusion. Neither one is genuine. ] No. [ He tilts his head, inquiring, ] Did something happen?

Yes, twice. [He is most disappointed.] Never mind. I have bothered you enough for one day.

A-Are you sure? [ Such a touching display of concern. ] If it's a health issue, maybe you should see a doctor?

[That's very kind of you to be concerned, Li. You're such a good friend.]

I'm certain. I don't want to worry you.

If you're sure...

[ He sounds doubtful. A very good friend indeed. ]

Very, but thank you.
