An Inconvenient Truth Summary . On a bridge , two men notice that their sensor s are down and that they ' re picking up thoron radiation . Before they have a chance to react , Worf and Riker are able to easily overpower them . Admiral Nechayev is contacted by Captain Picard about the use of the " Enterprise " logs for offensive purposes . The admiral asks him what he plans to do , and Picard responds that it depends on her . She responds that he should be careful with these dangerous accusations . In her office , a shadowy man says simply " " He knows . " " The Admiral states that it was only a matter of time and that she ' ll take care of the " Enterprise " . On the " Galaxy " - class ship , Troi and La Forge are near the warp core in Main Engineering . Just as Troi senses someone , Data throws another unknown man to the ground near them . Checking the computer , La Forge finds nothing , no logs , no schematics , and no other entries whatsoever . This leads the away team to believe that this is a trap . At Starfleet Academy , Picard and Boothby walk through the gardens , but Boothby is not able to tell Picard much more than rumors about a group within Starfleet , " " a secret group that fights dirty to keep the Federation clean . " " As Boothby leaves , a Tellarite attacks Picard , but he is able to beam away in the nick of time . Admiral Adams contacts the " Enterprise " , looking for Picard , but Dr . Crusher tells him that the ship is in quarantine for 48 hours due to an outbreak of the Andorian Measles , and that half the crew ( including Picard ) are in isolation . Worf and Riker continue to search the vessel , running across a force field and contact the other away team . Data tells them of their findings , but tells them to reset their combadge s to a higher frequency so that he can attempt to guide them to meet up . They arrive and meet up , but it will take too long for La Forge to fix the computer systems , so they go to plan B , which is to destroy the facility . Picard finds himself in a strange room with a Borg alcove , drawings and photographs of Ferengi , a Xindi weapon , and an Iconian gateway . An unknown man with a phaser trained on Picard confirms that the Ferengi opened their eyes to the threat and the need to keep their interests intact . He continues , telling Picard that they are " " two sides of the same coin . " " As the man steps up to Picard preparing to fire , the " Enterprise " away team steps out of the shadows , aiming their phasers at the man . Suddenly more Starfleet personnel beam in and create an impasse , a Mexican standoff . Picard tells La Forge to detonate the charges , but the man tells him that they were neutralized moments after being set and then he and his men beam away , leaving the " Enterprise " crew crestfallen , and they return to the " Enterprise " . Memorable quotes . " " What you have done , what you " do " here – it soils Starfleet and makes a mockery of everything the Federation stands for . " " " " Look beyond the limitations of your morality , Picard – you " need " me . Just like I need you . We ' re two sides of the same coin . You are allowed to explore because we keep the Galaxy " safe " . " " " " Ultimately , you will outlive your purpose . What we do will " endure " . " " " " I agree . " " " " I ' d like to make a toast . To the crew of the " Enterprise " . . . to my friends – may our voyages be as " many " as the stars in the sky . " "
