Picard:
Now, can you project the course of the ribbon?
Data:
I believe so.
Picard:
[watching]
Enhance grid 9-A. Where was the Amargosa star?
[Data pinpoints its location near the ribbon's path]

Picard:
Now, you said that when the Amargosa star was destroyed, it affected the gravitational forces in this sector. Now, did the computer take that into account when it projected the course of the ribbon?
Data:
No, sir. I will make the appropriate adjustments.
Picard:
[seeing the ribbon's path change]
That's what Soran's doing. He's changing the course of the ribbon. But why? Why would... why would he try to change its path? Why doesn't he just fly into it with a ship?
Data:
Our records show that every ship which has approached the ribbon has either been destroyed or severely damaged.
Picard:
He can't get to the ribbon, so he's trying to make the ribbon come to him. Data, does it pass near to any Class-M planets?
Data:
Yes, sir. There are two in the Veridian system.
Picard:
Well, it gets close to Veridian III, but not close enough. Data, what would happen to the ribbon's course if Soran destroyed the Veridian star itself?
[as Data runs the simulation, the ribbon's path shifts to pass through Veridian III]

Picard:
That's where he's going.
Data:
It should be noted, sir, that the collapse of the Veridian star would produce a shock wave similar to the one we observed at Amargosa.
Picard:
Destroying all the planets in this system.
Data:
Veridian III is uninhabited. However, Veridian IV supports a pre-industrial humanoid society.
Picard:
Population?
Data:
230 million, sir.
Picard:
[tapping his combadge]
Picard to bridge.
Worf:
Worf here, sir.
Picard:
Set a course for the Veridian system, maximum warp.
