Counselor Deanna Troi
- Dr. Nikolai Rozhenko: The Boraalans have a rich and beautiful culture. They live a deep spiritual life. They deserve the chance to survive. And isn't that what the Prime Directive is truly intended to do? To allow other cultures to survive and grow naturally?
- Counselor Deanna Troi: Not exactly. The Prime Directive was designed to ensure non-interference.
- Doctor Beverly Crusher: But aren't we interfering either way? If we take no action, it's a conscious decision to let the Boraalans die.
- Dr. Nikolai Rozhenko: Exactly. We have the power to save some them. All we have to do is exercise it.
