Katik: Finn, everyone is being rounded up.

 

Finn: Because of her?

 

Katik: The Federation wants to negotiate her release.

 

Finn: While they arrange for the Rutian police to fill up the detention cells.

 

Katik: A Starfleet officer is working with the director. He wants a meeting with you.

 

Finn: Oh, I'm sure he does. Your Federation colleagues have engineered mass arrests to pressure me into releasing you.

 

Crusher: I'm sure you've misunderstood.

 

Finn: They're working with the police. He's seen it with his own eyes.

 

Crusher: All they want is to get me back safely.

 

Finn: I'm not releasing you. I need you here.

 

Crusher: To find a way to reverse the effects of the dimensional shift? I can do that right now. Stop using it! I have a life, Finn. I have a son who needs me.

 

Finn: Is your son on the ship?

 

Crusher: Yes.

 

Finn: I'm sorry he's on the ship.

 

Crusher: No.

 

Finn: They have joined forces with the Rutians against us.

 

Crusher: We are not your enemy.

 

Finn: They are more valuable to me than an enemy. For seventy years we have shouted, and no one's heard us. Destroy the Federation flagship, someone will listen.

 

Crusher: Please.
