PICARD: Oh, yes. That's how it starts. But the road from legitimate suspicion to rampant paranoia is very much shorter than we think. Something is wrong here, Mr Worf. I don't like what we have become.
Picard stands up and walks away.

PICARD: Well, tell me a little about yourself, crewman. I know you were born on Mars Colony.
Tarses: Yes, sir. All my life I wanted to be in Starfleet. I went to the Academy's training programme for enlisted personnel. I took training as a medical technician and I served at several outposts. The day that I was posted to the Enterprise was the happiest day of my life.
PICARD: Did you ever consider applying to the Academy, going the whole route, apply to become an officer?
TARSES: My parents wanted me to. And then I thought about it. I used to sit under this big tree near the parade grounds...
TARSES: Yes, that's the one.
TARSES:I used to sit under that tree and watch the drills. Picture myself an officer. I know it would have made my mother very happy but...
TARSES: No. I was 18... and eager. The last thing I wanted was to spend four years sitting in classrooms. I wanted to be out there, traveling the stars. I didn't want to wait for anything. And now it's done, isn't it? My career in Starfleet is finished.
Admiral Satie and her assistant are walking in a corridor.
SATIE: Mr Worf has found a brother who still ives on Mars Colony. Contact someone there and have him interviewed.
