TORRES: Ah, ha. Gotcha. Why don't we reassess those probabilities together, okay? Remember how we used to play hypothetical games?
DREADNOUGHT: Affirmative.
TORRES: Let's play one now. Here's a hypothetical situation for you. Suppose I've been telling you the truth all along, and you really are in the Delta quadrant.
DREADNOUGHT: Probability of being in the Delta quadrant, seventy five thousand light years from last confirmed location, is negligible.
TORRES: Hypothetical, Dreadnought. It's a game, remember? Assume it's true for a moment.
DREADNOUGHT: Assumption entered.
TORRES: And we're heading for the wrong target.
DREADNOUGHT: Assumption entered.
TORRES: Millions of innocent people about to die when you detonate.
DREADNOUGHT: Assumption entered.
TORRES: Now, explain to me how this might happen.
DREADNOUGHT: If key sensor programmes were damaged or deleted, databanks would be compromised.
TORRES: Just for the fun of it, let's have a look at those databanks. See if anything looks at all compromised.
(A display comes up on a wall monitor.)
TORRES: Is this a complete file directory? There seem to be a few missing.
DREADNOUGHT: Files containing information about the weapons or tactical systems are not necessary to verify sensor accuracy.
TORRES: Oh, I'm hurt you don't trust me. Hold on, pause the display. What's that? Computer, identify the Cardassian file on screen.
DREADNOUGHT: Unable to identify.
TORRES: Looks like a back-up file. Computer, when was this file created?
DREADNOUGHT: Stardate 46437.5
TORRES: I believe that was before you and I ever met.
DREADNOUGHT: Hypothetical game terminated. Probability reassessment complete.
TORRES: A new conclusion?
DREADNOUGHT: Affirmative. Probability of being in the Delta quadrant remains negligible. When that option is rejected, new probability assessment indicates that you have changed loyalties, B'Elanna. You are now cooperating with the Cardassian Federation Alliance as described in the treaty of 2367, a treaty which has been rejected by the Maquis.
TORRES: Dreadnought.
DREADNOUGHT: Humanoid life support aboard this vessel has been terminated. Approaching target at full impulse. Stage one alert has been activated. Initiating final detonation sequence.
