Now,... there are several
discrepancies in the Captain's log.

:13:19
Shall we go over them one by one?
:13:26
Proceed.
:13:29
You are saying Capt Picard
had no control over this vessel.

:13:33
He handed it over to Kosinski, who
took it to the edge of the universe.

:13:38
No, sir, that's not what I'm saying.
:13:40
Kosinski was sent by Starfleet
to improve our warp drive.

:13:45
According to his own logs,
:13:47
his bridge crew didn't think
highly of Kosinski's theories,

:13:51
yet the Captain gave him access
to the engines. True, La Forge?

:13:56
Not exactly.
:13:57
One way or the other, Picard lost
control of this ship. Is that true?

:14:03
Yes, but that's not how it happened.
:14:05
So, the answer is yes.
:14:11
Is the Captain emotionally
and psychologically fit for command?

:14:16
Nothing in his history or personality
to suggest... mental lapses?

:14:21
Nothing.
:14:25
Not even the Ferengi incident
on his old starship, the Stargazer?

:14:30
He was being controlled by
a mind-altering machine.

:14:34
Without his knowledge.
:14:37
I would call that a mental lapse.
