Susan T. Collins: Tarrana

Quotes 

• Tarrana : Look!

  [the holo-grid is beginning to show through Nikolai's simulation of Boraal in a pool of water] 

  Lieutenant Worf : Do not worry. It is an omen.

  Dobara : What does it mean?

  Lieutenant Worf : It is the sign of LaForge. It is a message to travelers. It is said when these lines appear and disappear in a pool of water...

  [the scene cuts to Engineering where LaForge is listening on the com-channel] 

  Lieutenant Worf : ... the road ahead will be filled with good fortune.

  Lt. Cmdr. Geordi La Forge : Hang in there, Worf.

  [works some controls] 

  Lt. Cmdr. Geordi La Forge : Give me just a second. There, that should do it.

  Dr. Nikolai Rozhenko : [the simulation stabilises]  You see. Our journey is already blessed. The road ahead is long. Let us have a meal together and then we'll make preparations to leave.

  [after the Boraalans have dispersed] 

  Dr. Nikolai Rozhenko : Worf, very good work. Apparently, we don't make such a bad team after all.

  Lieutenant Worf : [Worf can barely hide his contempt]  We are not a team. I am here because Captain Picard ordered me here.

  Dr. Nikolai Rozhenko : Worf, don't we both share the same goal? Aren't we both trying to make this plan work?

  Lieutenant Worf : Only because you forced us into it.

  Dr. Nikolai Rozhenko : I'm not ashamed of what I did. I'm not sorry I saved their lives.

  Lieutenant Worf : You have not changed. You still expect people to solve the problems you create.

  Dr. Nikolai Rozhenko : I'm not here to work out the issues of our childhood. I'm here to save a people who I care about, and if that upsets you, then so be it.

  [Nikolai storms off]
