Enterprise's Subspace Channel to Duras
Data opens the subspace channel from the Enterprise bridge console, projecting Duras's image onto the main viewscreen. Duras speaks through it, challenging Picard's authority and insulting Worf as a 'pahtk.' Picard orders Data to close the channel, cutting off the transmission abruptly. Data later adjusts it to contact Gowron. Riker, Wesley, and others observe the tense exchange.
