SALESMAN [on viewscreen]: Whoever you are, wherever you're from, greetings. Welcome to Minos, the arsenal of freedom.

PICARD: I am Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the USS...

 

[sekundant]

SALESMAN [on viewscreen]: If you need a little something special, be it for one target or multiple targets, we got it. You'll see it here on Minos, where we live by the motto 'peace through superior firepower'.

PICARD: To whom am I speaking?

 

[Kertrats47]

PICARD: We must have triggered something left over from the Erselrope wars when the arms business was booming.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

SALESMAN [on viewscreen]: So lock on to my signal and beam on down, because we don't just provide weapons.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

PICARD: Shut that off.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

SALESMAN [on viewscreen]: We provide complete weapons systems.

I remember a poster here once upon a time who would get really upset when others used transcripts for these threads.

[JanewayRulz!]

PICARD: If an automated message system is still functioning, there could be other systems on that planet that are still operational

[Athena28]

PICARD: Possibly.

 

[sekundant]
