Norm Prescott: Orion lieutenant, Orion ensign

Quotes 

• Orion lieutenant : We can't outshoot the Enterprise and we can't outrun it, sir.

  Orion Captain : You're saying we can't escape?

  Orion lieutenant : No, sir, we can't.

  Orion Captain : Orion's official neutrality comes before this ship or its crew. We can't take Kirk's word that he won't report this incident to Starfleet.

  Orion lieutenant : The only way to avoid that is to destroy the Enterprise, and the only way to do that is to destroy ourselves, too.

  Orion Captain : Do you have a plan, Lieutenant?

  Orion lieutenant : Yes, sir. These asteroids are made of highly explosive minerals.

  Orion Captain : Can we convert the asteroid we're orbiting into a doomsday bomb that will destroy both ships?

  Orion lieutenant : Yes, sir, but...

  Orion Captain : But what?

  Orion lieutenant : Analysis of the asteroid shows that it can't be detonated by our phasers.

  Orion Captain : What will it take?

  Orion lieutenant : A powerful explosive right on the asteroid's surface. I could rig a remote control device...

  Orion Captain : No. I'll take it with me when I beam down to meet Captain Kirk. I want the satisfaction of seeing his face when I tell him he and his crew are going to die with us.
