[booming voice] State... the... purpose. State the purpose of what you have done.
I'm Captain Picard, commanding this Federation starship.
State the purpose of your visit here.
We have sent down what we call an away team, to make peaceful contact here.
Do you plan to leave life-forms here?
No. We are merely visiting here.
But you did more at the world you just left. Why have you left your own life-forms there?
The colony we just planted, sir.
We found that world uninhabited. The life-forms we left there had... had sought the challenge-- at least, that is the basic reason-- had sought the challenge of creating a new lifestyle-- a new society there. Life on our world is driven to protect itself by seeding itself as widely as possible.
Do not interfere with my children below.
