KYLE (monitor): John I know something was injected into me after I left Starfleet, maybe it will kill me maybe it'll drive me crazy so someone else kills me. They want me dead, John, because I know the truth. Whatever should happen to me, go to Arcamon. I keep all the raw sensor and computer data from my missions and engineering experiments in a encrypted computer bank there. The access code is Charlie, Two, Seven, Four, Kilo, Epsilon then use your Starfleet authorization code to identify yourself. The truth is in here John, damn them with it. I'm sorry that it ends this way, but I trust your judgement. I always have. Godspeed John

LT. MASON: How would you know if they would launch an investigation they consider the matter closed. 
CAPT. LELAND (holographic form): Because Mister Clarkson is his friend 
LTJG. MASON (sighs): I'm being compromised, sir, and I don't like it.
