PICARD: By all means, Admiral.
[Ready room]
PICARD: There are disturbing overtones in the idea of a Klingon providing information to the Romulans. Are you aware of any other Klingon-Romulan connection that Starfleet Command might have encountered recently?

SATIE: I don't believe... what Starfleet Command knows or doesn't know is for me to reveal.
PICARD: This ship has encountered several incidents which might suggest a potential alliance between those two powers.
SATIE: We're well aware of that Captain. What we must concentrate on is the business at hand.

PICARD: Come.
PICARD: Come.
WORF: Excuse me, Captain, I did not know...
PICARD: Please, Mister Worf, come in. I particularly want my guest to meet you. Admiral Satie. This is my Head of Security, Lieutenant Worf.
Worf shakes hands with Admiral Satie.
WORF: Captain, I've been pursuing the investigation of Lt. J'Dan. I believe I know how he transferred information off the Enterprise.
WORF: Captain, I've been pursuing the investigation of Lt. J'Dan. I believe I know how he transferred information off the Enterprise.
SATIE: Well done, Lieutenant.
WORF: (hands over a hypospray) This is J'Dan's. A hypospray he uses to treat his Ba'ltmasor Syndrome. But this has been fitted with an optical reader specially modified to read data from Starfleet isolinear chips. He can extract digital information from a computer, encode it in the form of amino acid sequences, and transfer those sequences into a fluid in the syringe. Then he injects someone, perhaps even without their knowledge.
SATIE: Or perhaps with their knowledge.
SATIE: The body itself becomes a conveyor of top secret files. Lieutenant Worf, when we confront J'Dan, I want you to conduct the interrogation.
Worf leaves.
SATIE: Captain, I predict that officer will be extremely valuable in this investigation.

[Interrogation room]
WORF: I have tracked the movements of every person who has left the Enterprise since you have been here. I traced one Tarkanian diplomat as far as the Cruces system where he disappeared and has not been seen since.
