Close friends
are few and far between.
:14:20
Two of the oldest and closest
:14:22
are Jack Crusher, may he rest
in peace, and Walker Keel.
:14:27
Before various missions split us up,
we were virtually inseparable.
:14:32
I trust Keel.
If he had to violate regulations,
:14:36
he must have had a good reason.
:14:38
But you're putting your career
at risk for him.
:14:41
Friendship must dare to risk,
Counsellor, or it's not friendship.
:14:45
They illicitly used
the emergency channel.
:14:49
Then they asked you to keep secrets
from your superiors,
:14:52
effectively to disobey
Starfleet regulations.
:14:56
The people involved
are of the highest calibre.
:14:59
I believe in their loyalty.
:15:02
Shouldn't you tell the crew?
:15:04
No. I don't want to risk
implicating them.
:15:08
Not until I have solid evidence
that something really is wrong.
:15:18
- Take us out of orbit, Mr La Forge.
- Aye, sir.
:15:21
Head for Pacifica, warp eight.
:15:23
Aye, sir.
:15:25
We should arrive 9.63 hours
behind the original schedule, sir.
:15:30
Good. I have an assignment
specifically suited to your talents.
:15:42
Computer, this is Lt Cmdr Data.
:15:45
Please access
all Starfleet Command orders
:15:48
to starships, starbases
and colonies for the last six months.
:15:52
Working.
