An editorial interpretation.
Picard’s familiar order is the moment a discussion becomes a decision. Someone has proposed a course of action; the captain gives it authority and sends the crew forward. Three words make the transition feel clean and confident. The phrase recurs across The Next Generation, so this entry treats it as a catchphrase rather than attaching it to an unverified first episode.
