TORETH: I demand an explanation.
TROI: How many people were on that ship?
TORETH: I don't care if there were eighteen or eight hundred. On this ship, I give the command to fire, Major. You have no right.
TROI: I have been given broad discretionary powers. Subcommander N'Vek acted under my authority, the authority of the Tal Shiar. I assure you this action will not be questioned.
TORETH: I will nonetheless make an entry in my log that I am not responsible for those eighteen lives and that I deplore their loss.
