"But the politician in me wondered what in the living daylights I was doing here."

First Contact [ Star Trek: The Next Generation ]

Stardate: Unknown

Original Airdate: 18 Feb, 1991


[Durken's office]

MIRASTA: At twelve point four after launch, the warp field generator will be activated.

DURKEN: That's when it would break the light barrier?

MIRASTA: Yes, Chancellor. If we're successful, the craft will leave our star system, and in a matter of minutes will be on its way to the Garth system.

KROLA: And then what?

MIRASTA: And then, Krola, we'll see what's there.

DURKEN: How long, Mirasta?

MIRASTA: We have the prototype design for the warp engine. It would simply be a matter of building the actual production units. If I get your approval today, ten months, maybe less.

KROLA: Chancellor, I'll admit Mirasta's enthusiasm for her work is seductive, but perhaps we're moving too fast. Your opponents will see this as another example of your determination to pull us further from our traditional ways.

DURKEN: My opponents look back as I look forward. I cannot believe that my people would choose to retreat after all we've done.

MIRASTA: I agree.

KROLA: The people were willing to accept your social reforms because they believe in you, Chancellor. But there are many who say we have gone far enough. All these new ideas, new technology, and now space travel? It confuses them, frightens them.
