- Admiral Buenamigo: What you do on the Enterprise is you take the specifications from the the bridge and bring them down to the engineers?
- Tom Smykowski: Yes, yes that's right.
- Admiral Bullock: Well then I just have to ask why can't the bridge take them directly to the engineering people?
- Tom Smykowski: Well, I'll tell you why, because, engineers are not good at dealing with bridge officers.
- Admiral Buenamigo: So you physically take the specs from the bridge?
- Tom Smykowski: Well... No. My apprentice does that, or they're beamed.
- Admiral Bullock: So then you must physically bring them to the engineering people?
- Tom Smykowski: Well. No. Ah sometimes...
- Admiral Buenamigo: What would you say you do here?
