Captain Jean-Luc Picard:
[on recruiting Riker as First Officer] I was looking through the records of about fifty candidates, and Will's was very much like all the others, filled with... lots of dry statistics and glowing letters of recommendation that tell you nothing. I was about to put it aside, look at another file, and then... something caught my eye. There was an incident on Altair III when Will was First Officer of the Hood. He refused to let Captain DeSoto beam down during a crisis. He disobeyed a direct order, and he risked a general court martial because he thought he was right. And when I read that, I knew that I had found my Number One.
Admiral Eric Pressman:
You wanted someone with a history of disobedience?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard:
I wanted someone who would stand up to me, someone who was more concerned with the safety of the ship and accomplishing the mission than with how it might look on his record. To me, that's one of the marks of a good officer.
