"Face of the Enemy" Line-by-Line

Picard: Analysis.

 

Data: The distortion is extremely weak, Sir. It appears to be moving slowly.... it is gone, Sir.

 

Riker: Gone?

 

Data: The distortion no longer registers on our instruments.

 

Picard: Could this distortion be caused by a cloaked ship?

 

Data: Unknown, Sir. Our understanding of Romulan technology is still limited.

 

DeSeve: Captain, Romulan ships use a forced quantum singularity as a power source. If that system is not functioning perfectly or is damaged even slightly, it might show through the cloak as a magnetic disturbance of some kind.

 

Data: The distortion has reappeared, Sir, bearing 3-3-7 mark 10. It has disappeared again Sir.

 

Picard: Mr. DeSeve, in your opinion, is it possible that we’re picking up a cloaked Romulan ship?

 

DeSeve: It's a strong possibility, Sir.

 

Picard: Mr. Data, continue your scan. Ensign, link navigational control to Mr. Data’s console. And plot a course for that distortion.
