State your name for the record.
Leosa. L e o s a. PARIS:
Occupation? Dabo girl.
Dabo? It's a Ferengi game. I
work aboard one of their casino ships. You, you told me you were a teacher.
Is this true? Sometimes I'm a teacher,
sometimes I'm a Bajoran Vedek. Whatever the customer wants.
Lieutenant Barclay tells me that the two of you spent a significant amount of time together. Did
he ever discuss his work at Pathfinder with you? He wouldn't talk about anything else. It was
always holograms this and cyclic pulsars that. And who did you share that information with?
Nobody. I have a theory.
Would you like to hear it? Why not?
I think that some of your Ferengi friends found a way to profit from Lieutenant Barclay's work.
I think you were encouraged to get close to him. And when you
had all the information you needed, you left. I left Reg for one simple reason. He's boring.
(Barclay leaves.) Don't tell me you never noticed.
With the Admiral's permission, I'd like a moment alone with Leosa.
I don't think therapy is what this woman needs, Counsellor.
Five minutes, Admiral.
Five minutes. (Paris and his aide leave.)
Did you know I'm a Betazoid? I'm empathic, which means I know when people are lying.
Tell me, what's the longest you've ever been incarcerated?
You can't send me to prison, Counsellor. I didn't do anything wrong.
Maybe not, but I can order you held for psychiatric observation. Extended observation.
I may not be a Betazoid but I work a Dabo table, and I know when somebody's bluffing.
Try me.
You were correct, Admiral. The Ferengi did steal Reg's hologram.
Twice. This is the ship you need to look for.
(Troi hands over a PADD. Later, that ship is on the screen.)
That's it. That's Nunk's ship.
Nunk? My employer.
Scans indicate they've been in the vicinity of that star for the last forty three hours. Why?
I don't know. She's telling the truth. For once.
The Ferengi wouldn't have stolen the hologram if they didn't think it was valuable.
They're probably waiting to rendezvous with a buyer.
Are there any Starfleet ships in that area? The Carolina's point seven light years away. At
maximum warp it could reach them in two hours. Open a channel.
Computer, open a secure channel to the Carolina.
Tell Captain Peterson to adjust his course immediately.
Was everything that happened between us a lie? Not everything. Just the parts where I expressed
affection for you. Oh.
Oh, if it makes any difference, it wasn't personal. It was just business.
What exactly is a broken heart worth these days, hmm?
Ten percent. Of what?
Profits from the nanoprobes. Nanoprobes? Borg nanoprobes?
Gegis says they're worth two billion times their weight in latinum.
