    MADRED: Yes, I think so. And unusually bright. It's amazing, isn't it, the way they're able to sneak into your heart. I must admit, I was completely unprepared for the power she had over me from the moment she was born.

    Picard: To expose a child to this. To someone who is suffering. To see that it is you that inflict that suffering.

    MADRED: From the time Jil Orra could crawl she's been taught about the enemies of the Cardassians, and that enemies deserve their fate.

    MADRED: What a blind, narrow view you have. What an arrogant man you are. What do you know of Cardassian history?

    MADRED: And what did peace and spirituality get us? People starved by the millions. Bodies went unburied. Disease was rampant. Suffering was unimaginable.

    MADRED: But we are feeding the people. We acquired territory during the wars. We developed new resources. We initiated a rebuilding program. We have mandated agricultural programs. That is what the military has done for Cardassia. And because of that, my daughter will never worry about going hungry.

    Back on the Enterprise.... La Forge is at the Engineering Station scanning the Cardassian ship, Jellico stands nearby

    La Forge: It looks like they had some minor hull degradation along their warp nacelles. The distribution pattern indicates a recent exposure to a molecular dispersion field.

    La Forge: The McAllister C-5 Nebula's just across the border. It's approximately 7 light years from Federation Space.

    JELLICO: Could there be Cardassian ships inside the McAllister nebula?
