 Picard:
"Captain's log, stardate 41636.9. As feared our
examination of the seven year old Federation freighter
Odin disabled by an asteroid collision revealed no life
signs. However, three escape pods were missing
suggesting the possibility of survivors." |

 Data:
"Angel One has evolved into a constitutional oligarchy.
It is governed by a parliamentary body consisting of six
elected mistresses and headed by a female they refer to
as The Elected One."
Troi: "It sounds like my own planet".
Worf: "Klingons appreciate strong women." |

 Picard:
"This is quite unnecessary Doctor, I am fine."
Dr. Crusher: "You're infected with the virus
Captain. In my opinion you are no longer physically able
to command this vessel."
Picard: "That is ridiculous Doctor! I have an
away team down there and in addition I have an
appointment with several Romulan battle cruisers!"
Dr. Crusher: "You have an appointment in your
cabin Captain with your bed!"
Picard: "Is that an order, Doctor?"
Dr. Crusher: "Yes!" |
|
|
|
|
 Worf:
"Scanners indicate a platinum trace. Should I notify the
away team?"
LaForge: "Make it so."
|
|
|
|
|
 Worf:
"Engineering reports computer mal...AHH CHOO!" |
|
|
|
|
 Worf:
"I'm getting sick."
LaForge: "I'm sure half the ship knows that by
now."
|

 Ramsey:
"Mistress Beata be damned! Her wish is not my command
and neither is yours. You cant force us to go."
Data: "Mister Ramsey is correct Counselor. The
Odin was not a starship which means her crew is not
bound by the Prime Directive." |

 Riker:
"As the governing body of Angel One you're entitled to
execute your laws or your citizens as you see fit."
Beata: "Make your point so we can proceed with
this unpleasant business."
Riker: "When you spoke of the prisoners you used
the term 'revolutionary', indeed death has been known to
stop revolutions but I suspect its not a revolution that
Angel One is hoping to stop - its evolution. Mister
Ramsey and the Odin survivors did not initiate the waves
of decent that are rippling through your planet. Their
presence here merely reinforced the change in attitudes
between men and women that was already well under way.
They became symbols around whom others who shared their
views could gather. You may eliminate the sinners but
that does not mean death to the issues which those
symbols represent. No power in the universe can hope to
stop the force of evolution. Be warned. The execution of
Mister Ramsey and his followers may elevate them to the
status of martyrs, martyrs cannot be silenced." |

 Dr.
Crusher: "Sickbay to Bridge."
Data: "Go ahead Doctor."
Dr. Crusher: "Bingo Data!"
Data: "Bingo? I fail to see the relevance,
Doctor. Is that not a reference to an ancient Earth
game?"
Dr. Crusher: "It's also a reference to success,
Data. I've got the inoculant." |

 Riker:
"Don't we have a call to pay on the Romulans Captain?"
Picard: "Indeed we do. Mister Data set course for
the neutral zone, warp six."
Data: "Co-ordinates set, warp six on your mark
sir."
Picard: "Eng....!"
Data: "Sir?"
(Picard glares at Riker)
Riker: "Engage." |
