"The Defector" Line-by-Line

PICARD: Lieutenant Worf, bring the Admiral up here.

 

WORF: Aye, sir.

 

RIKER: Maybe they abandoned the planet after he defected.

 

DATA: There is no scarring on the planet surface that would denote heavy construction of any kind.

 

RIKER: A cloaking device of some sort, to hide the entire base?

 

DATA: A cloaking device operating on the surface would be given away by visible distortion effects.
(Jarok and his escort enter)

 

PICARD: Perhaps you'd care to explain why we're here, Admiral.

 

RIKER: There doesn't appear to be a base.

 

JAROK: I don't understand.

 

PICARD: Nelvana Three, Admiral. No base, no weapons, no sign of any life at all.

 

JAROK: But I saw the tactical communiqués. The records. Timetables for completion. An entire legion was assigned to the section.

 

PICARD: Is it possible they could have been feeding you disinformation? You said that you had been censured. Reassigned, four months ago. They knew of your dissatisfaction. Could all this have been to test your loyalty?

(gotta go, but it's been great fun, as usual! )

 

()

JAROK: No. No. It's impossible.

 

PICARD: Is it possible they could have been feeding you disinformation? You said that you had been censured. Reassigned, four months ago. They knew of your dissatisfaction. Could all this have been to test your loyalty?

 

^ I think you may be a few posts behind. The line we're on is:

PICARD: They let you escape with an arsenal of worthless secrets. What other explanation is there?

And, assuming you meant that line, I hope I'm allowed to move onto

RIKER: Permission to withdraw from the Neutral Zone?

 

Picard: At your earliest convenience, Number One.

 

RIKER: Helm, bring her round one hundred and eighty degrees. Geordi, get us out of here.

 

La Forge: (over comm) I hear ya, Commander!

 

WORF: Two Romulan warships uncloaking. Coordinates..
(He's interrupted by impacts to the shields)
WORF: Shields holding.

 

Riker: Damage?
