:30:00
which rejected all attempts
at cultivation on Ornara.
:30:03
A trading situation developed
which still exists.
:30:07
- A nice deal for the Brekkians.
- And the Ornarans.
:30:10
- Without the medicine, they'd die.
- No, they wouldn't.
:30:13
Despite what the Ornarans say,
it is not a medicine.
:30:17
It was a medicine, but it cured
the plague 200 years ago.
:30:20
The plague is irrelevant now.
It doesn't exist.
:30:24
Why are they so desperate
for felicium?
:30:26
It's an addiction.
:30:27
The physiological and psychological
need is very real.
:30:34
Thank you.
:30:37
- What are you going to do?
- There's nothing I can do.
:30:41
You don't think drug addiction
and exploitation
:30:43
is sufficient cause to do something?
:30:46
This situation has existed
for a long time.
:30:48
These two societies are intertwined
in a symbiotic relationship.
:30:54
With one society profiting
at the expense of the other.
:30:58
That's how you see it.
:31:01
I can synthesise
a non-addictive substitute
:31:04
which will ease
their withdrawal symptoms.
:31:09
No, I can't do that either.
:31:13
You can't let them
have the felicium!
:31:15
Why? Because it offends
against our sensibilities?
:31:18
It is not our mission to impose
Federation or Earth values on others.
:31:24
In this case, Captain,
I disagree, 1 00 percent!
:31:29
Captain, I'm receiving
a call from Ornara.
:31:32
I think I can put it
on the viewscreen.
:31:35
Do it.
:31:40
I'm Margan.
:31:43
Are my people on board your ship?
:31:50
Some of them, yes.
:31:53
May I speak to them?
:31:56
Yes. Lt Yar, have the Ornarans
brought in. No, wait.
