Star Trek: The Space Opera

"Skin of Evil" - Tasha Yar's (first) death, to the tune of Fantine's deathbed song
<-- Back to Index
Data
Her eyes do seem so cold...
As if they've lost their function
I shall remember her
In memories yet to come
Bev
I cannot find any pulse, Commander
Vital signs have faded past detecting...
Chief O'Brien, beam us up to Sickbay!
We have a chance to save her, but there cannot be a delay!
Geordi
Can it be that Tasha Yar is dead now?
Bev
Yes it's true, her tragedy was senseless
Troi
I could feel... her consciousness escaping...
The pain that creature put her through is well beyond explaining

Picard
Mr. Worf, Lieutenant Yar is gone
And I say...you must assume her post
And I know this must be hard for you
Worf
Yes it is... more than I can say, Sir.
Picard
Tasha Yar
Had touched us all profoundly
Bev
              And what now?
Picard
We shall resume our journey
Riker
Yes, Captain,
We all are going to miss her--
Worf
And I may take her post, Sir,
But I never can replace her.

Data
There's something ...
I do not understand, Sir--
Picard
Data, what could that be?
Data
Hard to say,
I felt something towards her--
Picard
Yes, so it seems to me . . .
Data
Could it be
Have I become more human?
I feel I must admit that
She was more than just a friend . . .
