Picard orders no response, reasoning that since the soldiers have been programmed to react violently only when threatened, if they are not threatened, they are not a threat either. When Danar insists that they all only want to come home, and refuses to return even temporarily to Lunar Five, Nayrok begs Picard to call his ship. The Enterprise is bombarded by a soldier who is the victim of government mind control which turns him into a violent killer. At the end when the prisoners show up, Danar tells the leader to shoot. Danar shoots the wall behind him and it blasts a hole in the wall.
Later scenes show the wall to be undamaged.
