"The First Duty" Line-by-Line

[JanewayRulz!]

BRAND: And you didn't report this to anyone?

 

[LeadHead]

Locarno: No Sir, I didn't. We'd flown together a long time, I thought he could handle it if I gave him a chance. I was wrong.

 

[Adm_Hawthorne]

Brand: Then you are saying that the accident was Cadet Albert's fault?

 

[Brian]

LOCARNO: I think Josh got frightened and tried to pull out of the turn prematurely, and then crashed into Cadet Hajar. Josh was our friend. We didn't want him to be remembered as someone who panicked.

 

[Adm_Hawthorne]

Brand: Please be seated. I'm very disturbed by what I've heard here today. By your own admission, you allowed your teammate to fly when you knew he was having difficulties maintaining formation. That demonstrates a serious lack of judgment. I am also disturbed by the fact that you did not come forward with this information immediately. We should have the first data from Mister Crusher's flight recorder tonight. We will reconvene at thirteen hundred hours tomorrow.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

LOCARNO: Everything's fine. Trust me.

 

[Vanyel]

Enterprise Engineering
Geordi: I don't know Captain, the Academy has one of the best reconstructive analysis labs in Starfleet. I'm not sure there's much we can contribute to the investigation.

 

[JanewayRulz!]

PICARD: Yes, that may well be. But Wesley's one of our own.

 

[Rett Mikhal]

Geordi: "Understood, sir. We'll get right on it."

 

[LeadHead]

Picard: Good. I've spoken with Admiral Brand and she's agreed to allow us access to all o the Physical Evidence and Testimony. Thank you Gentlemen.

 

[Vanyel]

Starfleet Academy
Sito: You shouldn't have said it Nick. Josh wasn't responsible for what happened.

 

[Brian]

LOCARNO: I had to do something.

 

[Adm_Hawthorne]

Wesley: You said we wouldn't have to lie to them. We all agreed not to lie to them.

 

[Brian]

LOCARNO: I didn't lie. Everything I said was the truth.

 

[Adm_Hawthorne]

Wesley: The accident was not Josh's fault.

 

[LeadHead]

Locarno: Look, He was my friend too, Wes. I worked to get him on this team, but the truth is he panicked.

 

[Brian]

WESLEY: We don't know that.

 

[LeadHead]

Locarno: Of course we do! None of us has wanted to say it out loud, but we've all had the same thought. Haven't we?

 

[Brian]

HAJAR: He must have pulled away too soon. I think he got scared.

 

[LeadHead]

Locarno: Sito?
