:36:03
I told Starfleet Command all we had
was a boatload of children.
:36:08
But...we're the only ship
in the quadrant.
:36:12
These cadets of yours, how will they
respond under real pressure?
:36:18
As with all living things,
each according to his gifts.
:36:22
Of course, this ship is yours.
:36:26
No, that won't be necessary.
Just get me to Regula One.
:36:30
As a teacher on a training mission,
I'm happy to command the Enterprise.
:36:35
If we are to go on actual duty,

You take the ship.
:36:49

is your first, best destiny.
:37:15
Anything else is a waste of material.
:37:19
I would not presume to debate you.
:37:22
That is wise.
:37:24
In any case...were I to invoke logic,
logic clearly dictates
:37:28
that the needs of the many
outweigh the needs of the few.
:37:33
Or the one.
:37:41
You're my superior officer.
You are also my friend.
:37:45
I have been
and always shall be yours.
:37:51
Stop energisers. Prepare speakers.
:37:58
An emergency situation has arisen.
By order of Starfleet Command,
