Gambit Line-By-Line

[Kertrats47]

RIKER: I can't say I'm sorry to hear that.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

BARAN: Galen might be a loud-mouthed fool, but sometimes he's quite perceptive. His observations about you, for instance.

 

[sekundant]

RIKER: Oh?

 

[Orac]

Baran: After what you did on Calder 2, I doubt if you have much of a future in Starfleet.

 

[Athena28]

RIKER: Yes, I must say I've come to the same conclusion.

 

[sekundant]

BARAN: Well, assuming that you were not my prisoner, what would you do now?

 

[Kertrats47]

RIKER: I guess I'd start looking for a new career. There must be a place where someone with fifteen years of Starfleet technical knowledge would be useful. You wouldn't happen to know a place like that?

 

[Orac]

Baran: Well, possibly. However, there's one thing that I have learned on this ship, and that's to be cautious and never to blindly embrace what might appear to be good fortune. And right now, you're a rather large stroke of good luck.

 

[Kertrats47]

RIKER: I haven't exactly sworn my undying allegiance to you either, Baran. For instance, I'd like to know a little bit more about the job.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

BARAN: Such as?

 

[sekundant]

RIKER: Such as what you meant by a very profitable mission.

 

[Orac]

Baran: Well, it's enough to know right now that your share will ensure a very wealthy and long life far from the Federation.

 

[Athena28]

RIKER: Sounds promising.

 

[sekundant]

BARAN: It is, only you're going to have to earn it. And you can start by putting aside your dislike for Galen and becoming his friend.

 

[Kertrats47]

RIKER: Why?

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

BARAN: Galen has allies on this ship. They could cause trouble if I decide to kill him. I want you to find out from him who they are.

 

[sekundant]

RIKER: Okay.

 

[Athena28]

BARAN: One more thing, Riker. When the time comes, I want you to kill Galen.

 

[Kertrats47]

[Bridge]

DATA: I have completed my analysis of the signal from the mercenary ship. I believe these groupings represent bearings and coordinates taken from their navigational system.

 

[sekundant]

LAFORGE: So you think this is their flight plan?
