Romulan Warbird Text Directive
Worf hails the Romulan Warbird and receives a terse text directive on the Enterprise bridge screens. He reads it aloud to the crew, stating orders to proceed to agreed coordinates in the Neutral Zone. Picard scans the message with a grim expression, then commits the ship to warp four compliance despite visible crew shock and unease from Riker, Data, T’Pel, and others.
