Ensign Samanthan Rutherford : [gasp] Nuh-uh... *nuh-uh*!
Ensign D'Vana Tendi : W-w-wait, wait. What are you nuh-uh-ing?
Ensign Samanthan Rutherford : I figured it out; this code is *mine*. The Aledo runs on *my* AI! There's minor changes, but it's all there!
Ensign Brad Boimler : But how does that make any sense? It was Admiral Buenamigo's secret project.
Ensign Samanthan Rutherford : Yeah, but I coded this back when I was the old me, the angry, ship-racing me.
[implant glitches out, causing him to scream]
Surgeon : How much do you want to erase?
[then-Lieutenant Commander Buenamigo appears, now identifiable]
Les Buenamigo : Everything that has to do with me or the program.
Ensign Samanthan Rutherford : Admiral Buenamigo. He's the one that had me working on the prototype for the Texas-class ships!
Ensign D'Vana Tendi : He's the one who erased your memories!
Ensign Samanthan Rutherford : Yeah, he used my designs, my code.
[gasps in horror]
Ensign Samanthan Rutherford : That's the same code I used for Badgey!
Ensign D'Vana Tendi : Oh, no! A starship can't have daddy issues!
Ensign Samanthan Rutherford : We've gotta warn the captain!

Commander Jack Ransom : They're tearing her up!
Captain Carol Freeman : We need to buy Starfleet some time. Open a channel.
[the Cerritos hails the Aledo, and it answers]
Captain Carol Freeman : Aledo, I have the man who wrote your code. He's got the ability to delete you unless you stand down.
Ensign Samanthan Rutherford : I do? Oh, yeah. You better stop attacking, or you're dunsel.
Aledo Computer : [makes the connection between Red Rutherford and post-accident Rutherford] I will burn your heart in a fire.
[the Texas-class ships stop attacking the station and Van Citters, instead approaching the Cerritos]
Ensign Brad Boimler : They're... they're coming pretty fast, Captain...
Captain Carol Freeman : Good, then they're not killing any more civilians. Maximum warp me!
