Outside the Nebula, fleet captain's ship:
Helm: "Uh, sir, we've been here quite a bit, haven't we?"
Captain: "And?"
Helm: "Well, sir, we were here to trap a deadly ship, that entered the nebula in front of us in pursuit of the Enterprise."
Captain: "Indeed, that's what we're doing."
Helm: "But it's been too long."
Captain: "What are you saying?"
Helm: "Seeing as we can't detect the Enterprise or anything else, they must still be in the nebula; which is disrupting our sensors, and it probably means the Enterprise is fighting for their lives."
Captain: "So?"
Helm

: "Shouldn't we go in!?"
Captain: "No, we will wait until they come out, and trap them, as ordered."
Helm: "As ordered???"
Captain: "Yes, as ordered."
Helm: "Kirk violated orders not to get to Earth when the whale probe attacked, saved the Earth and was given a commendation for it. Picard violated orders and went to Earth to defend it from the Borg, and got a special commendation and several medals of courage for it, along with the rest of his crew. Picard violated orders and took a stand against a decision to exploit a people on a planet, and was given another commendation for it. Lieutenant Commander, also on the Enterprise, violated the orders to relocate during a tachyon blockade of the Romulan/Klingon border and detected a Romulan ship, thus making the blockade a success and got a special commendation for it."
Captain: "Yes, but I'm better than they are, I will follow orders."
Helm:
