TREK TRIVIA:
"I am a Klingon, sir. For me to seek escape when my captain goes into battle..! " (Worf, when ordered to take command of the saucer section; Picard bluntly reminds him that he is a Starfleet officer first [TNG "Encounter at Farpoint I"])
TORG: My Lord. The ship appears to be deserted.
KRUGE: How can that be? They're hiding!
TORG: Yes sir. But the bridge appears to be run by computer. It is the only thing speaking.
KRUGE: Speaking? Let me hear.
COMPUTER: Nine, eight, seven, six, five ...
KRUGE: Get out! Get out of there! Get out!
COMPUTER: ... one.
