PICARD: I would like to have a word with you.
SATIE: Of course. After all, you are my partner in this.
[Ready room]
SATIE: I cannot possibly believe you mean this.

SATIE: I cannot possibly believe you mean this.
SATIE: It was a tactic. A way of applying pressure.
PICARD: I've talked with him.
SATIE: I see. And he told you he was a victim of circumstance, blameless and pure.
SATIE: How can you be so incredibly naive? Captain, may I tell you how I've spent the last four years? From planet to Starbase to planet. I have no home. I live on starships and shuttlecraft. I haven't seen a family member in years. I have no friends. But I have a purpose. My father taught me from the time I was a little girl still clutching a blanket, that the United Federation of Planets is the most remarkable institution ever conceived. And it is my cause to make sure that this extraordinary union be preserved. I cannot imagine why you are trying to block this investigation. There have been others in the past who doubted me. They came to regret it.
SATIE: I have news for you, Captain. I've been in constant contact with Starfleet Command. The hearings are not going to stop. They're going to be expanded.
SATIE: I'm going to get to the heart of this conspiracy, if it means investigating every last person on this ship. And every hearing from now on, will be held in the presence of Admiral Thomas Henry of Starfleet Security. I've requested that he be brought here at one.
PICARD: Admiral. What you're doing here is unethical. It's immoral. I'll fight it.
