Yes thats right, you need to rub your screen with a freshly cut raw
potato. If you do so you get this message which I transcribed below:

DATA: You performed what Starfleet textbooks now call "The Picard
Maneuver."

PICARD: What any good helmsman could have done. I dropped into high
warp, then stopped right off the target vessel's bow, and fired
everything I had.

RIKER: By blowing into warp speed, you appeared for an instant to be
in two places at once...

PICARD: And our attacker fired on the wrong one.
-------------
DATA: Correct sir due to them having no FTL sensors.

RIKER: Well thats that settled then, so any of you guys seen Star Wars?
I reckon the Empire would blast through us like a blowtorch through 
soft butter!

WORF: Indeed I have. I think it would be Honourable to die at the hands
of the Empire!

PICARD: Well said Mr Worf. I thank god for the fact we would never have
to face real Warships with a dedicated Military guiding them.

DATA: Yes sir. I calculate a 99.99999999999999999999999% chance of an
Imperial Victory in a war against the Federation and it's allies.

See what happens when you don't read the Boy's book of Spies when your
younger? Always keep a sliced, raw potato handy to search for hidden
messages, you never know what you'll miss otherwise!
:-D
