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.
