Picard: "One more thing, Gul Macet. Maxwell was right. Those ships were not
carrying scientific equipment, were they? A research station, within arm's
reach of three Federation sectors? Cargo ships running with high energy
subspace fields that jam sensors?"
Macet: "If you believe that the transport ship was carrying weapons, Captain,
why didn't you board it as Maxwell had requested?"
Picard: "I was here to protect the peace. A peace that I firmly believe is in
the interest of both our peoples. I had attempted to board that ship, I'm
quite certain that both sides would now be arming for war."
Macet: "Captain, I assure you..."
