00:00:00.450 --> 00:00:04.690
<v ->Captain's log Stardate 52179.4.</v>

2
00:00:04.690 --> 00:00:06.581
After salvaging the Delta flyer,

3
00:00:06.581 --> 00:00:09.760
we've resumed our course toward the Alpha Quadrant.

4
00:00:09.760 --> 00:00:12.660
I now have to turn my attention to a matter of discipline.

5
00:00:14.490 --> 00:00:17.540
Lieutenant Thomas Eugene Paris, you are guilty

6
00:00:17.540 --> 00:00:21.400
of insubordination, unauthorized use of a spacecraft,

7
00:00:21.400 --> 00:00:24.570
reckless endangerment. and conduct unbecoming an officer.

8
00:00:24.570 --> 00:00:25.970
Do you have anything to say?

9
00:00:27.112 --> 00:00:28.880
<v ->Regan needed my help.</v>

10
00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:29.713
<v ->In doing so,</v>

11
00:00:29.713 --> 00:00:31.360
you disobeyed my direct orders.

12
00:00:31.360 --> 00:00:32.193
<v ->Yes, ma'am.</v>

13
00:00:32.193 --> 00:00:34.310
<v ->You violated the protocols that govern this crew.</v>

14
00:00:34.310 --> 00:00:35.143
<v ->Yes, ma'am.</v>

15
00:00:35.143 --> 00:00:36.050
<v ->You nearly caused an armed</v>

16
00:00:36.050 --> 00:00:36.887
conflict with Minoans, and frankly,

17
00:00:36.887 --> 00:00:39.620
you're lucky to be standing here right now.

18
00:00:39.620 --> 00:00:42.920
I would have destroyed your shuttle, if necessary.

19
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:44.680
<v ->Yes, ma'am.</v>

20
00:00:44.680 --> 00:00:47.083
<v ->Permission to speak freely?</v>

21
00:00:52.360 --> 00:00:54.530
Regan's people weren't going to listen.

22
00:00:54.530 --> 00:00:56.210
They were going to ignore our warnings.

23
00:00:56.210 --> 00:00:57.060
<v ->You don't know that.</v>

24
00:00:57.060 --> 00:00:59.170
<v ->Regan knew, and I was the only one</v>

25
00:00:59.170 --> 00:01:00.200
who could help them.

26
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:01.630
<v ->I understand your passion,</v>

27
00:01:01.630 --> 00:01:03.120
but passion alone doesn't give you the right

28
00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:05.270
to take matters into your own hands.

29
00:01:05.270 --> 00:01:06.640
Four years ago, I released you

30
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:08.800
from prison and gave you a fresh start.

31
00:01:08.800 --> 00:01:10.640
Until now, you've been a fine officer.

32
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:13.260
Your service on this ship has been exemplary.

33
00:01:13.260 --> 00:01:16.370
I really believed you were past this kind of conduct.

34
00:01:16.370 --> 00:01:17.300
<v ->I've never been very good</v>

35
00:01:17.300 --> 00:01:18.563
at playing by the rules.

36
00:01:20.150 --> 00:01:21.920
That doesn't mean that serving under your command

37
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:24.633
hasn't changed me for the better.

38
00:01:25.900 --> 00:01:27.530
At least this time, I broke the rules

39
00:01:27.530 --> 00:01:30.643
for a reason, for something I believed in.

40
00:01:31.710 --> 00:01:33.144
<v ->I admire principals, Tom,</v>

41
00:01:33.144 --> 00:01:35.453
but I can't ignore what you've done.

42
00:01:37.980 --> 00:01:39.460
I hereby reduce you to the rank

43
00:01:39.460 --> 00:01:42.280
of Ensign and I sentence you to 30 days,

44
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:44.310
solitary confinement.

45
00:01:44.310 --> 00:01:45.860
take Ensign Paris to the brig.

46
00:01:48.380 --> 00:01:49.530
<v ->I know the way.</v>
