:30:01
I know,
:30:03
but as Counsellor, I must evaluate
the emotional fitness of the crew.
:30:08
And you sense I'm nervous.
:30:12
Well, you're right.
Counsellor, deep down I'm shaking.
:30:17
We're going into battle,
:30:19
and there's a good chance
we'll be blasted to pieces.
:30:22
I'm taking a huge risk,
and many lives are at stake.
:30:26
So, yeah, I'm nervous.
Did you expect otherwise?
:30:31
Not at all.
You're under tremendous pressure,
:30:34
- more than you've ever experienced.
- You think I'll crack?
:30:37
On the contrary. You should be proud
of the way you're handling command.
:30:42
You've kept cool, taken charge, and
made some very difficult decisions.
:30:48
- Then what did you want?
- Battle bridge is ready.
:30:53
However, deflectors are not yet
at full efficiency.
:30:56
- Let's get them there, Mr Solis.
- Aye, sir.
:31:00
I'll join you shortly. La Forge out.
:31:03
Did you hear the uneasiness
in his voice?
:31:06
Solis is doing well.
:31:08
Yes, but he isn't
handling the stress well.
:31:11
- Both he and Ensign T'Su are young.
- They're good.
:31:15
But they lack battle experience.
:31:18
They're worried about making
mistakes, and need encouragement.
:31:23
What do I do?
:31:25
Just remember
it's you they draw strength from.
:31:30
They look to you
for guidance and for leadership.
:31:36
Help them.
:31:38
Show confidence in them.
:31:42
Like Captain Picard
showed confidence in me.
:31:46
Right.
:31:48
I understand. Thanks, Counsellor.
