With all due respect, Admiral, I’d like to ask you to reconsider going forward with the installation of the Data Red program.

Now that we know that it works, I hope you’ll consider that having a system that can disable Data is a dangerous thing. Perhaps more dangerous that the unlikely situation that Data could be turned against his friends and crewmates.

Captain Picard commands one of the most dangerous ships in all of Starfleet. We don’t have any precautions put in place in the (impossible) event that he goes rogue. The same is true of every other person who wears the uniform.

What is there to stop you if you decide that you know better than Starfleet?
