You did exactly what you had to do. You considered all your options, you tried every alternative and then you made the hard choice. The unexpected is our normal routine. Travel time to the nearest starbase? I will obey your orders. I will serve this ship as First Officer. And in an attack against the Enterprise, I will die with this crew. But I will not break my oath of loyalty to Starfleet. I am your worst nightmare! The look in your eyes, I recognize it. You used to have it for me. What? We're not at all alike! and attack the Romulans. Your head is not an artifact!
Congratulations - you just destroyed the Enterprise. Now, how do we defeat an enemy that knows us better than we know ourselves? You bet I'm agitated! I may be surrounded by insanity, but I am not insane. Shields up! Rrrrred alert! I'll be sure to note that in my log. That might've been one of the shortest assignments in the history of Starfleet.
Fate. It protects fools, little children, and ships named "Enterprise." Fear is the true enemy, the only enemy. The game's not big enough unless it scares you a little. I'm afraid I still don't understand, sir. Your head is not an artifact! Mr. Worf, you do remember how to fire phasers? Mr. Worf, you sound like a man who's asking his friend if he can start dating his sister. and attack the Romulans. Maybe if we felt any human loss as keenly as we feel one of those close to us, human history would be far less bloody.
