captain they're back
amazing I never thought I'd see a Romulan vessel not this close the last
time we encountered him was decades ago cost thousands of lives I can't
believe that stay calm everyone open hailing frequencies captain
these are Romulans they are without honor
they killed my parents in an attack on kin amar when they were supposed to be
our allies they behaved humans and Klingons are a waste of skin
Lt control your emotions please open hailing frequencies
hailing frequencies open Romulan vessel this is Captain jean-luc Picard of the
USS Enterprise
sensors indicate all their systems are armed sir that they have not fired I am
Commander Tebah commander you across the neutral zone
this is Federation territory it was necessary it might be viewed as an act
of aggression our intent were aggression you would not be here now if we go to
war let us be shores for the right reason we are here because our outposts
which border on the neutral zone were also attacked destroyed in the exact
same manner as your own even so what gives them the right to enter Federation
space silence your dog captain Lieutenant Worf question is valid do we
even ask such a question implies that we need permission we do not do you think
that we attacked your outposts once we realize the level of destruction
we knew it could not have been you
or is responsible
we haven't got a clue they're hoping you know but they're too an arrogant to ask
you're out of line mister yes but it's a correct assessment we do not know who is
responsible why entire outposts on both sides have been carried off I would like
to offer a proposal an alliance between the Romulans and the Federation nothing
so grandiose just this cooperation there was an intent here whoever or whatever
did this is more powerful than either of us let's collaborate let's share
whatever we learn about what has happened here agreed on this one issue
and only if it is convenient and appropriate at the time Captain Picard
because your actions are those of a thoughtful man I'll tell you this
matters more urgent caused our absence now witness the result outposts
destroyed expansion of the Federation everywhere yes we have indeed the
negligent captain but no more karana we have made some progress here let's not
ruin it with unnecessary posturing your presence is not wanted do you understand
my meaning captain we
I'm back
I think our lives just became a lot more complicated
