Lieutenant Natasha 'Tasha' Yar
- Guinan: Tasha, you're not supposed to be here.
- Natasha Yar: Where am I supposed to be?
- Guinan: Dead.
- Natasha Yar: Do you know how?
- Guinan: No. But I do know it was an empty death. A death without purpose.
- [Tasha Yar has requested to be transferred to the Enterprise-C]
- Capt. Picard: The Enterprise-C will be destroyed.
- Natasha Yar: But Captain, at least, with someone at Tactical, they will have a chance to defend themselves well. It may be a matter of seconds or minutes, but those could be the minutes that change history. Guinan says I died a senseless death in the other timeline. I didn't like the sound of that, Captain. I've always known the risks that come with a Starfleet uniform. If I'm to die in one... I'd like my death to count for something.
- Capt. Picard: Lieutenant. Permission granted.
- Natasha Yar: I've been working with one of the officers on the Enterprise-C. He's, he's nice, I, I like him. I'm worried about what's going to happen to him.
- Lt. Commander Data: We may never know what happens. If they succeed, we will not even realize that these events occurred.
- Natasha Yar: [on the ship coming through the anomaly] Definitely Federation starship. Accessing registry...
- Commander William T. Riker: Looks like they had a rough ride.
- Natasha Yar: "NCC 1701 - C... USS - Enterprise"...
- Lt. Richard Castillo: Most everyone calls me "Castillo"... my mother calls me "Richard".
- Natasha Yar: OK, Castillo.
- Lt. Richard Castillo: No... I think maybe I'd like it better if you called me "Richard".
- Natasha Yar: Richard.
