Ensign Samanthan Rutherford : Captain, you need to see this!
Captain Carol Freeman : Ensign, I'm busy.
Les Buenamigo : Rutherford?
Ensign Samanthan Rutherford : Yeah, that's right, and I figured it out! The Aledo's code is corrupted. He erased my memory to cover it up. The AI's the same one that killed Shaxs!
Les Buenamigo : Why did I stop at your memory? I should've erased *all of you*!
Captain Carol Freeman : Les, what the hell is this?
Les Buenamigo : Starfleet is so competitive. Once you're an Admiral, you hit a wall! I've been trying for *years* to make a name for myself! I won't let you take it from me, not after everything I did to get us here.
Captain Carol Freeman : Everything you did? Wait, that means...
Les Buenamigo : Yes, yes, I set you up. I was sure you'd fail at negotiations on Deep Space 9, but you *stumbled* through that fiasco!
Captain Carol Freeman : And the Breen?
Les Buenamigo : Of course I knew they were on Brekka! I needed the Aledo to save the day, and you handed me a perfect disaster.
Captain Carol Freeman : My crew could've been killed!
Les Buenamigo : The Texas class will keep countless others *out* of danger. The good of the many, Carol!
Ensign Samanthan Rutherford : Sir, you don't understand. The code you're using, its emotional processing isn't stable. You can't bring those ships online!
Captain Carol Freeman : You are *not* one of those bad-faith Admirals that's up to no good. You're better than this, Les.
Les Buenamigo : I'm really not. You know, I'll-I'll say you attacked the Aledo out of anger when you lost the race. It... *defended* itself.
Captain Carol Freeman : What?

[the Texas-class ships have taken the Van Citters' shields down]
Commander Jack Ransom : They're tearing her up!
Captain Carol Freeman : We need to buy Starfleet some time. Open a channel.
[the Cerritos hails the Aledo, and it answers]
Captain Carol Freeman : Aledo, I have the man who wrote your code. He's got the ability to delete you unless you stand down.
Ensign Samanthan Rutherford : I do? Oh, yeah. You better stop attacking, or you're dunsel.
Aledo Computer : [makes the connection between Red Rutherford and post-accident Rutherford] I will burn your heart in a fire.
[the Texas-class ships stop attacking the station and Van Citters, instead approaching the Cerritos]
Ensign Brad Boimler : They're... they're coming pretty fast, Captain...
Captain Carol Freeman : Good, then they're not killing any more civilians. Maximum warp me!
