Captain Jonathan Archer: I've heard from Starfleet. They're working through diplomatic channels to contact the Klingons; but it might not be necessary. This spectrograph identifies a Klingon alloy.
Alien inhabiting Lt. Reed: That's the signature of standard hull plating.
Captain Jonathan Archer: [indicates one of the planet's rings] I found it... here.
Alien inhabiting Ens. Mayweather: You've detected a debris cloud in orbit.
Captain Jonathan Archer: It's what's left of a Klingon shuttlecraft. Their response to an infected landing party: the commander killed his own shuttle crew.
Alien inhabiting Lt. Reed: They didn't even plead for mercy.

Alien inhabiting Lt. Reed: I mean, they wouldn't, would they? Being Klingon.
Alien inhabiting Ens. Mayweather: Captain, does knowing what the Klingons did help us at all?
Captain Jonathan Archer: At least we know we don't have to bother asking them if they have a cure.
Alien inhabiting Ens. Mayweather: But if they had developed one, you'd ask them for it, right?
Captain Jonathan Archer: On bended knee.

Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: This reminds me of my dorm room at Starfleet Training. Got into a lot of trouble at old STC.
Ensign Hoshi Sato: I got kicked out.
Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: ...Well, you can't stop there!
Ensign Hoshi Sato: In my second month, I... I had a difference of opinion with the Company Commander.

Ensign Hoshi Sato: I broke his arm!
Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Can I ask why?
Ensign Hoshi Sato: Poker.
Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: You broke his arm playing cards?
Ensign Hoshi Sato: He tried to shut down a game I was running for some of the recruits and a couple of the training staff.
Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Hold on. You ran a floating poker game at STC?
Ensign Hoshi Sato: The way the regulations are worded, gambling was an honor violation only if it took place during duty hours. So I ran the game on weekends. One night my CC showed up, tried to sweep all the chips off the table, and I... well, I've a black belt in aikido. I think he was just upset that I hadn't invited him to play.
Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: What happened?
Ensign Hoshi Sato: I got a bad conduct discharge.
Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: How the hell did you end up on Enterprise?
Ensign Hoshi Sato: Starfleet needed language specialists, more than they needed to make an example out of me. They let me back in on probation and... here I am.

Alien inhabiting Ens. Mayweather: I studied your report on how the Klingons reacted to the infection.
Alien inhabiting Lt. Reed: Their response was typical for a species at their level of development.
Alien inhabiting Ens. Mayweather: The Klingon commander didn't let his landing party back on his ship.
Alien inhabiting Lt. Reed: Your point?
Alien inhabiting Ens. Mayweather: Captain Archer did.
Alien inhabiting Lt. Reed: Captain Archer's done nothing different from the Klingons. The launch bay and decon chamber are completely isolated from the rest of the ship.
Alien inhabiting Ens. Mayweather: So it doesn't matter if an infected landing party comes aboard.
Alien inhabiting Lt. Reed: Precisely. Humans don't want to interact with dying crewmates any more than Klingons did. If it was left to me, I'd stop our observations immediately. We have nothing more to learn from Humans.
Alien inhabiting Ens. Mayweather: Oh, I don't know. They're showing concern for each other. The Cardassians did that when they were here, didn't they?
Alien inhabiting Lt. Reed: Ah, but in the end they killed their infected crew, just as the Klingons did. The only difference is the time it took to reach that decision.
Alien inhabiting Ens. Mayweather: Maybe the Humans will surprise us.
