:31:01
When I'm finished,...
:31:04
..this is where
I'd like to serve, sir.
:31:17
Don't judge the young man
too harshly. He's a good officer.
:31:22
It's not him I'm inclined to judge.
:31:24
Don't judge me too harshly either,
until I've finished.
:31:28
We had to be very sure of you.
:31:30
Some of us at Starfleet Command
:31:33
became suspicious of certain problems
in the Federation.
:31:37
What problems?
:31:39
Someone or something
is trying to destroy
:31:41
everything we've built up
in the last 200 years.
:31:45
- What's your evidence?
- I can't say.
:31:48
- Too many people are involved.
- What do you want from me?
:31:51
I don't know if the threat comes
from the inside or the outside.
:31:57
I need people I can trust in
strong positions in the Federation.
:32:01
- You have my complete support.
- That's not enough.
:32:06
I want to promote you to Admiral.
:32:08
And I want you to take over
as Commandant of Starfleet Academy.
:32:14
- The Academy?
- Yes.
:32:26
- The Academy?
- I need you close.
:32:31
Then there was never
a problem with the Enterprise?
:32:35
No. But I had to be sure
you hadn't been coopted.
:32:40
Greg,...
:32:43
..this is... politics.
:32:46
And...
:32:49
I...
:32:51
I'm not good at politics.
:32:53
Surely there are others
who are... better suited.
:32:57
Alright, even if I am wrong,
and I hope I am,
