:30:01
A trading situation developed
which still exists.
:30:04
- A nice deal for the Brekkians.
- And the Ornarans.
:30:08
- Without the medicine, they'd die.
- No, they wouldn't.
:30:11
Despite what the Ornarans say,
it is not a medicine.
:30:14
It was a medicine, but it cured
the plague 200 years ago.
:30:18
The plague is irrelevant now.
It doesn't exist.
:30:21
Why are they so desperate
for felicium?
:30:24
It's an addiction.
:30:25
The physiological and psychological
need is very real.
:30:32
Thank you.
:30:35
- What are you going to do?
- There's nothing I can do.
:30:38
You don't think drug addiction
and exploitation
:30:41
is sufficient cause to do something?
:30:43
This situation has existed
for a long time.
:30:46
These two societies are intertwined
in a symbiotic relationship.
:30:52
With one society profiting
at the expense of the other.
:30:55
That's how you see it.
:30:59
I can synthesise
a non-addictive substitute
:31:02
which will ease
their withdrawal symptoms.
:31:07
No, I can't do that either.
:31:10
You can't let them
have the felicium!
:31:13
Why? Because it offends
against our sensibilities?
:31:15
It is not our mission to impose
Federation or Earth values on others.
:31:22
In this case, Captain,
I disagree, 1 00 percent!
:31:27
Captain, I'm receiving
a call from Ornara.
:31:29
I think I can put it
on the viewscreen.
:31:32
Do it.
:31:38
I'm Margan.
:31:41
Are my people on board your ship?
:31:48
Some of them, yes.
:31:51
May I speak to them?
:31:54
Yes. Lt Yar, have the Ornarans
brought in. No, wait.
:31:59
I don't want them
to have access to the bridge.
