Follow it through

Kargan: You are still crew and sworn to obey me, you gave me your word.
Riker: Yes, sir, I did.
Kargan: Then fulfill that oath and and serve the ship as you swore to. Tell me the surest method of attack against the Enterprise.
Riker: I won't.
Kargan: You must! It is a matter of honor, and loyalty to your oath.
Riker: I will not surrender the secrets of the Enterprise to you.
Kargan: If your word is no good, then how can we ever trust Starfleet?
Riker: I will not break a vow I made in the past. I also made an oath of loyalty to your ship, I will not break that.
Kargan: They are in CONFLICT!
Riker: NO SIR, THEY ARE NOT! I will obey your orders, I will serve as First Officer! In an attack against the Enterprise, I will die with this crew! But I will not break my oath of loyalty to Starfleet!
Kargan: ...if you had told those secrets about the Enterprise, I would have labeled you a traitor and killed you where you stood. But instead, you will die with us...you will die like a Klingon.
Riker: Yes, sir, I did.
