It’s not over yet, Sir. Another Romulan vessel is decloaking off starboard.

I suspect the Torvath spy will use what its seen and express it as a weakness, Admiral.

And if we have a weakness, it can be exploited. It gives the Torvath a reason to be less fearful.

Indeed.

Not an argument likely to sway a Romulan senator, Number One.

I suppose not. Fingers crossed it doesn’t complicate matters with the Torvath.

Speaking of the Torvath, I believe I have just detected one of their vessels warping out of the system.

There was a Torvath vessel here? What was it doing?

Spying.

Yes, and for all our talk of Federation unity and peace, it’s just seen us engage in a battle with one of our closest neighbors.

I don’t like where this is heading, Will. I think the Romulans may have just made things a whole lot worse. Come on, let’s get back to the Admiral. She will need to know this.

Phase

Character
Picard
Dialogue
So you see, Admiral, so far the Torvath have only responded to what they saw as a threat, regardless of the degree. Technically they aren’t the ones doing the provoking. However…
Objective ID
1,955,327,144
Phase

Character
Admiral Dorset
Dialogue
However, the potential is there. They could let their xenophobia spill over into war.
Objective ID
1,955,327,144
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Picard
Dialogue
It’s possible. My feeling is that we should still do all we can to persuade the Torvath against such an action, to engage in diplomacy until they realize their fears are unfounded.
Objective ID
1,955,327,144
Phase

Character
Admiral Dorset
Dialogue
It’s their belief in their genetic purity that worries me. It sounds like it’s only their fear that’s keeping them from acting on that belief. Maybe we want them afraid.

Picard

Admiral, we cannot allow the Federation to parade itself as a threat. There are more species out there, species who might look at our attitude toward the Torvath and decide that we are the dangerous ones.

What is it? The Torvath?

No. It’s the damn Romulans! They’ve made an incursion into this space.
Objective ID

They’ve entered Federation space unannounced?

It looks that way. Captain, get back to your ship and head them off. Find out what they want. And Captain…

Picard to bridge officers. Join me in my ready room now, please.

Dialogue
…Good. Now that we’re all here, I’d like your opinions on the Torvath.
Objective ID
935,979,499
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Riker
Dialogue
I think we can safely say they don’t like us.
Objective ID
935,979,499
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Picard
Dialogue
There’s no doubting that. But do they pose a wider threat to the Federation at large?
Objective ID
935,979,499
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Riker
Dialogue
It’s my opinion that they do. Like I told you before, it’s only because they’re not sure exactly how strong we are that they haven’t attacked already.
Objective ID
935,979,499
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Worf
Dialogue
I agree with Commander Riker. We have come across such cultures before. Their instinct is always to attack the unalike sooner or later. They cannot help themselves. We must prepare for war.
Objective ID
935,979,499
Phase

Character
Picard
Dialogue
I would like to avoid all-out war as much as possible, Mr. Worf.
Objective ID
935,979,499
Phase

Character
Riker
Dialogue
And it does you much credit, Captain, but I believe we must also be pragmatic.
Objective ID
935,979,499
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Picard
Dialogue
Indeed.
Objective ID
935,979,499
Phase

Character
Troi
Dialogue
I concede it’s a long shot, but maybe, if the Torvath really are harboring a secret fear of us, we need to be showing them that in fact, they have nothing to fear.
Objective ID
935,979,499
Phase

Character
Troi
Dialogue
Perhaps we could invite a delegation to stay aboard the Enterprise and we show them how we all live together. How our unity makes us stronger.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Riker
Dialogue
Assuming they can stand to be in the room with any of us long enough not to throw up. You saw how they reacted to the Captain. Their revulsion is visceral.

Data
Dialogue
Perhaps Dr. Crusher could come up with something to suppress the Torvath gag reflex.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Dr Crusher
Dialogue
I’m not sure drugging the Torvath to make us seem more palatable to their senses would make them feel safer. Quite the opposite, I would imagine.
Objective ID
935,979,499
Phase

Character
Picard
Dialogue
Yes, I think we can take chemically altering the brains of a paranoid species off the table.
Objective ID
935,979,499
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Data
Dialogue
In that case, Captain, I would advise caution. I think the Torvath are in a volatile state right now. They have only just learned of our existence.
Objective ID
935,979,499
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Data
Dialogue
We are big and powerful and seemingly stand for something they do not. The Federation’s culture of inclusivity is in direct opposition to their culture of racial purity.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Data
Dialogue
I believe conflict is only a matter of time. It is likely you were only permitted to leave for fear of Federation reprisals.
Objective ID

Picard
Dialogue
We need to take this up with Starfleet Command. Just as well I have a meeting with an Admiral. A meeting I’m already late for.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Picard
Dialogue
We’ll adjourn for now, until we know what the Admiral has to say. In the meantime, Number One, you have the con. Data, you come with me to the Admiral.

Our business, Captain, is finding out what kind of alliance the Federation is thinking of making with what our intelligence tells us is a new, potentially powerful species.

You’re welcome to go and ask them for yourselves, although I recommend you extend the courtesy you failed to exercise here and announce your intentions first.
Objective ID

Character
Romulan Captain
Dialogue
Typical Federation behavior. As usual, you see fit to criticize the Romulan way, yet it is you who is involved in underhanded dealings.
Objective ID
990,238,880
Phase
dialogue_start
Character
Picard
Dialogue
I assure you, there is nothing underhand in our dealings. No doubt your intelligence already knows this, but we responded to a system under attack by a species that could threaten us all.

Phase

Picard
Dialogue
Our only objective is to avoid such an outcome. At the moment, we have opened channels of communication with the species calling themselves the Torvath. We are only talking.

Of course not. Look, why not join us on our next diplomatic mission? You can–
