- I expected nothing, Doctor. But I believe this gambit was an effective one, and has given us enough information to plan our next move. One cannot deploy the queen before first moving a pawn.

- May I remind you, Doctor, that Captain Sulu tasked the Commander with venturing into Romulan territory, not I. You are welcome to lodge your grievance when he returns, if you are unhappy.

- Commander, I’ve been discussing with my colleagues. We cannot raise a single enemy ship on hail – including the Federation ones – nor reach our ally, the Klingon Chancellor, to question this attack.

- This nebula is interfering with communications, there’s no doubt about that, but I think there’s more to it. I must return to Starfleet Command in person and update them on the situation.

- I hope to come back soon with new orders, and a fully-repaired vessel. The task force must remain behind to hold the line, and prevent these ships from getting any closer to the Federation border.

- There are still no Romulan vessels on long-range sensors, though it does not mean they are not there. Perhaps we need to raise the ante by crossing their border. Plotting a course for Teranth.
