[On the USS Titan, Capt. Riker and his officers are in the ready room discussing the Pakleds' unusual increase in power]
Capt. William T. Riker : There's a pattern to the Pakleds' attacks on these outposts. They're after varuvian ore.
Ensign Bradward Boimler : [juggling PADDs] Uh, s-sorry. What ore?
Lieutenant Ottessa Warren : Varuvian. Contains minerals which become volatile at high vibratory frequencies.
Niko : [chuckles] Those terrorists tried to use it to blow up Starbase 58.
Ensign Bradward Boimler : Oh, uh, yeah. I think I remember reading that in one of your logs. Huh. Titan's seen a lot of action.
Titan's Tactical Officer : Ain't weaponizing varuvian ore a bit above the Pakled's grade level?
Capt. William T. Riker : *Way* above. Which is why Starfleet Command believes there may be another player involved. Intel says the Pakled's next target is a varuvian mining colony on Karzill IV. We'll embed an away team there disguised as miners with the goal of planting a tracking device on their shuttle.
Lieutenant Ottessa Warren : They'll lead us right to their puppet master.
Capt. William T. Riker : And that's when we cut the strings.
Ensign Bradward Boimler : [writing everything down on one of his PADDs] ... cutting the strings.
Capt. William T. Riker : You don't have to write that down.
Ensign Bradward Boimler : [still writing] I don't have to write that down.
