"Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges" Line-by-Line

[sekundant]

BASHIR: I have reason to believe that Sloan has an accomplice within the Romulan government. Someone who's going to help him carry out this assassination.

 

[Athena28]

CRETAK: Koval has been saying that there's a traitor in the Senate, someone working for Starfleet Intelligence .

 

[May 20]

BASHIR: Section Thirty one isn't part of Starfleet Intelligence.

 

[Kertrats47]

CRETAK: They are Federation citizens working to advance your interests. That makes them your responsibility.

 

[May 20]

BASHIR: You're absolutely right. That's why I'm doing everything I can to stop them. I'm trying to convince Sloan that Koval doesn't have Tuvan Syndrome. But he may have already asked his accomplice to proceed. So if we want to be sure to stop this assassination we have to find Sloan's Romulan accomplice.

 

[Kertrats47]

CRETAK: And you expect me to find this traitor?

 

[sekundant]

BASHIR: Sloan said something about Koval having a personal database. It stands to reason that it contains a list of potential suspects. Is there any possible way you can get me a copy of this database so that I can run an analysis of?

 

[Kertrats47]

CRETAK (interrupting): You are asking me to hand over secret documents!

 

[May 20]

BASHIR: I'm asking you to put aside three centuries of mistrust between our peoples and help me stop a murder. Senator, if we can't reach out and bridge the gulf that is between us, if we can't trust each other, a man will die and we will be partially responsible. I need your help. Please.

SLOAN: You wanted to see me, Doctor?

 

[sekundant]

BASHIR: Yes. I'm not convinced that Koval is suffering from Tuvan Syndrome. His symptoms could be the result of any number of different health problems.

 

[May 20]

SLOAN: You didn't say that before.

 

[mattman8907]

BASHIR: I'm not an expert on Romulan physiology. Most of my knowledge of Tuvan Syndrome comes from studies done on Vulcan patients.

 

[May 20]

SLOAN: I thought Vulcans and Romulans were virtually identical.

 

[sekundant]

BASHIR: Yes, but there are some important genetic differences. And the more I study the available data on Romulan physiology, the less sure I am that my diagnosis was correct.

 

[May 20]

SLOAN: How could you find out for sure?

 

[Kertrats47]

BASHIR: The best way would be to do an examination, but I hardly think he'll agree to that.

 

[sekundant]

SLOAN: What if you obtained a sample of his skin cells? Could you run an analysis?

 

[Kertrats47]

BASHIR: Probably. But how do you propose...

 

[May 20]

SLOAN: We'll treat your palm with a microcellular adhesive. The next time you shake his hand, you'll get your sample.
