Crusher to Picard. I think we're going to lose Warren.
Picard [OC]: On my way.
I'm here, Mary.
(Picard and Nuria enter)
Prepare two cc's of norep.
(But Mary Warren gives up the struggle to breathe)
I'm sorry.
(Crusher and Barron leave, and Nuria approaches the death bed)
Picard, you could not save her?
No.
You do have limits. You are not masters of life and death.
No, we are not. We can cure many diseases and we can repair injuries, we can even extend life. (bleakly) But for all our knowledge, all our advances, we are just as mortal as you are. We're just as powerless to prevent the inevitable.
You are a remarkable people, but you are not superior beings. My people must be made to understand that.
