Certainty

 

                The fighting had been fierce, security officers lay all around and medical staff moved among them performing triage.  Picard and Crusher beamed down after the scene had been secured.

 

                "I've never seen one of these creatures up close," Picard commented as he viewed the prostrate form.  He took a step back when the creature started twitching.  "I thought it was dead."

 

                Beverly scanned the body with her tricorder.  "Involuntary spasm, it happens some times, it's dead, Captain."

 

                "Are you sure?"

 

                The corners of her mouth quirked upward before she replied.  "It's not just merely dead, it's really most sincerely dead."
