Picard's.
But in those situations, you were
Head of Security, not First Officer.
The second-in-command carries
out the decisions of the captain,
in this case, me.
But is it not my duty
to offer you alternatives?
Yes. But once I have made a decision,
you must carry it out
regardless of how you feel.
Any objections should be given
to me in private.
I do not recall Cmdr Riker
ever publicly showing irritation,
as you just did.
No, sir.
If you cannot carry out this role,
I will assign it to La Forge
and return you to Tactical,
recording it not as a reprimand,
but as a transfer.
I would prefer
to remain at my current post.
Then I expect you
to conform to my guidelines.
- Aye, sir.
- Dismissed.
Mr Worf, I am sorry
if I have ended our friendship.
Sir, it is I who has jeopardised
our friendship, not you.
If you will overlook this,
I would like to continue
to consider you my friend.
I would like that as well.
Thank you, sir.
Good to see you, too.
I've had some unpleasant surprises.
This isn't a good idea.
Baran might grow suspicious.
It was Baran who sent me here.
He told me to pretend to be friendly
with you and help organise a mutiny,
so he can determine who your
supporters are and eliminate them.
What a tangled web we weave.
I can't remember whose side I'm on.
What have you found out?
In the Hyralan sector, we're
to rendezvous with a Klingon ship.
I think they're delivering
another Romulan artefact to us.
A second artefact? By the way,
that first artefact is not Romulan.
- It's Vulcan.
- Vulcan?!
I have been looking over the glyphs
from the Calder II artefact.
Although I don't have enough data
to translate it all,
the alphabet and the symbology
is much more consistent
with early Vulcan than Romulan.
Do the artefacts have
a religious or cultural significance
which makes them
valuable enough to kill for?
I don't know.
If I could access the Enterprise
computer for a few moments...
So, what will Baran do once
he's obtained the second artefact?
After you verify its authenticity,
I kill you and take your place.
You always seem to be after my job.
As soon as Baran feels
I'm no more use,
he can kill me
with the neural-servo.
So, we'd better start
planning a mutiny.
We need a new captain
and I've come to one conclusion...
I agree.
But I don't think that's you.
I don't trust you.
Nor does the rest of the crew.
They won't follow you.
Then who will they follow? You?
No, but they will follow Tallera,
and so will I.
- Who are you?
- What?
You're no smuggler
and your name's not Galen.
Tell me who you are
and what you're doing on this ship
or I will kill you right here.
- What are you talking about?
- I will not play games with you.
I found the message
you sent to the Enterprise.
When Riker used his command codes,
you sent a transmission with them.
You're a Starfleet officer.
Do not deny it.
It is the only logical conclusion.
My name is actually T'Paal.
I am a member of the V'Shar.
- Vulcan Security?
- That is correct.
I infiltrated this ship a year ago
posing as a Romulan mercenary.
I'm here to investigate
a possible threat to Vulcan.
- What sort of threat?
- First things first, Galen.
Who are you?
I'm Capt Jean-Luc Picard
of the Enterprise.
Very well. To answer your question,
there is a small but growing movement
of extreme isolationists on Vulcan.
A group that believes contact with
alien races has polluted our culture
and is destroying Vulcan purity.
This group advocates isolation
from the rest of the galaxy
and the eradication of all
alien influences from our planet.
That sounds like
an illogical philosophy.
Agreed. But extremists
often have a logic all their own.
Tell me, what are these artefacts
we've been collecting?
I know they are Vulcan in origin.
You are familiar with
the ancient history of my people
before we found logic,
before we found peace.
You were much as my people
once were. Savage, warlike.
