Memorable Quotes

When became cautious to the point of paranoia, martial law was declared on Earth for the first time in centuries, and then Starfleet tried to overthrow the Federation government.

 * "The warnings we received from the Founders to stay out of the Gamma Quadrant was unequivocal, non? What did we do?

We even built a subspace relay on their end of the wormhole with the Cardassians. Is it any wonder the Founders reacted as they did?"
 * - Captain Breawyn Lem and Cadet Bayushi Chisato, "Alternate Points of View"
