Ensign Babyface! About four years. I got tired of | ||
hearing how young I looked. That might've been one of the shortest | ||
assignments in the history of Starfleet. When has justice ever been as | ||
simple as a rule book? I'm afraid I still don't understand, sir. | ||
|
||
In all trust, there is the possibility for betrayal. Some days you get | ||
the bear, and some days the bear gets you. Maybe if we felt any human | ||
loss as keenly as we feel one of those close to us, human history would | ||
be far less bloody. | ||
|
||
Maybe we better talk out here; the observation lounge has turned into a | ||
swamp. Our neural pathways have become accustomed to your sensory input | ||
patterns. Flair is what marks the difference between artistry and mere | ||
competence. Mr. Worf, you sound like a man who's asking his friend if he | ||
can start dating his sister. Wouldn't that bring about chaos? | ||
|
||
Then maybe you should consider this: if anything happens to them, | ||
Starfleet is going to want a full investigation. What? We're not at all | ||
alike! I guess it's better to be lucky than good. Yesterday I did not | ||
know how to eat gagh. Captain, why are we out here chasing comets? Some | ||
days you get the bear, and some days the bear gets you. I'll alert the | ||
crew. | ||
|
||
Computer, belay that order. Sure. You'd be surprised how far a hug goes | ||
with Geordi, or Worf. I suggest you drop it, Mr. Data. Damage report! | ||
Sorry, Data. When has justice ever been as simple as a rule book? You're | ||
going to be an interesting companion, Mr. Data. Commander William Riker | ||
of the Starship Enterprise. | ||
|
||
The Enterprise computer system is controlled by three primary main | ||
processor cores, cross-linked with a redundant melacortz ramistat, | ||
fourteen kiloquad interface modules. I am your worst nightmare! The look | ||
in your eyes, I recognize it. You used to have it for me. Earl Grey tea, | ||
watercress sandwiches... and Bularian canapés? Are you up for promotion? | ||
I'd like to think that I haven't changed those things, sir. | ||
|
||
Talk about going nowhere fast. Well, that's certainly good to know. A | ||
lot of things can change in twelve years, Admiral. Fate protects fools, | ||
little children and ships named Enterprise. I've had twelve years to | ||
think about it. And if I had it to do over again, I would have grabbed | ||
the phaser and pointed it at you instead of them. Yes, absolutely, I do | ||
indeed concur, wholeheartedly! | ||
|
||
Mr. Worf, you do remember how to fire phasers? Your shields were | ||
failing, sir. Smooth as an android's bottom, eh, Data? The unexpected is | ||
our normal routine. Is it my imagination, or have tempers become a | ||
little frayed on the ship lately? Your head is not an artifact! Maybe if | ||
we felt any human loss as keenly as we feel one of those close to us, | ||
human history would be far less bloody. | ||
|
||
Now, how the hell do we defeat an enemy that knows us better than we | ||
know ourselves? Wait a minute - you've been declared dead. You can't | ||
give orders around here. And blowing into maximum warp speed, you | ||
appeared for an instant to be in two places at once. |
