Geordi La Forge : Why didn't anybody tell him?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : There was no opportunity. There was no pause.

Lt. Commander Data : It is the flash point of a warp core explosion. And it is expanding.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Expanding? I thought time was suspended on this ship.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Why didn't we notice it before?

The motion of the cloud is within my visual detection threshold. At its current rate of expansion, it will consume the Enterprise in approximately 9 hours, 17 minutes.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard : Is there anything we can do to stop it?
Lt. Commander Data : It is no longer a question of stopping it, sir. The explosion has already occurred. The fact that it is moving slowly changed nothing
