- Thread starter LeadHead
- Start date
PICARD: Acknowledged. Commander Riker will perform a manual docking. Picard out.
RIKER: Sir?
PICARD: Then I mean now, Commander.
Riker leaves.
Moments later, the saucer section is directly in front if the battle section, ready to reconnect. On the battle bridge, everyone is standing at the back of the room for some reason.
Data: Did you say we'll be doing this, manually, Sir? No automation?

RIKER: As ordered.
They approach the saucer from astern, of course.
RIKER: Velocity to one half meter per second. Adjust pitch angle, negative three degrees. Watch your roll angle, conn. All stations, prepare for reconnection. Thrusters to station keeping. All velocity zero. Her inertia should do the job now. Lock up...now.
The clamps rise and the two parts of the ship meet again.

RIKER: Thank you, sir. I hope I showed some promise.
PICARD: I see in your file that Captain DeSoto thinks very highly of you. One curious thing, however, you refused to let him beam down to Altair Three.
PICARD: I see. A Captain's rank means nothing to you.
PICARD: Isn't it just possible that you don't get to be a Starfleet Captain without knowing whether it's safe to beam down or not? Isn't it a little presumptuous of a first officer to second guess his captain's judgment?
PICARD: Always.
