Fire.

The asteroid is fragmenting, but most of the debris

is stiII on a coIIision course with the pIanet.

Target the fragments.

Destroy them.

That asteroid shouId have been vaporized.

What happened?

I'm not sure.

Sensors showed a simpIe nickeI-iron composition.

We shouIdn't be seeing fragments

more than a centimeter in diameter.

Ambassador, I'm afraid I was right.

This isn't going to work.

The same thing happened to us yesterday.

We tried to vaporize two incoming asteroids,

but they fragmented and struck the surface.

I've destroyed most of the debris, Captain.

However, targeting scanners

were unabIe to track two of the fragments.

They have aIready entered the upper atmosphere.

The debris impacted on the Iargest continent

approximateIy 500 kiIometers

from the southern tip.

The centraI desert.

FortunateIy, that region isn't heaviIy popuIated.

SubstantiaI cratering,

atmospheric shock waves...

and Iarge concentrations of dust

and other stratospheric contaminants.

How Iong untiI the next asteroid hits?

ApproximateIy six hours.

Can you give us an idea of its trajectory?

Same continent, but this time on the eastern coastaI region.

Our Iargest coIonies are there.

Over 5,000 citizens.

Captain, we appreciate your efforts,

but I think it's time we considered an evacuation.

According to my anaIysis,

there are at Ieast 12 more asteroids heading

in our direction.

How can we hope to destroy them aII

even with your heIp?

Incoming haiI from the surface.

It's coming from one of the heaviIy damaged areas.

On screen.

Ambassador, I've been anaIyzing the debris

and I've discovered disturbing evidence

that the asteroids are not what they seem.

They are composed of artificiaI materiaIs.

I must meet with you immediateIy.

I think we can stop...

I've Iost the transmission.

Location?

I can't find them.

Too much interference.

That was Dr. Vatm,

our most prominent astrophysicist.

He mentioned the composition of the asteroids.

CouId he have found something important?

At this point, Ambassador,

I don't know what that discovery couId be.

Mr. Paris, can we send a shuttIe down through that turbuIence?

It wouId be a rough ride, but I think it's possibIe.

Our chances of finding Dr. Vatm are sIim.

We shouId evacuate the coIonies.

We haven't time to evacuate aII those peopIe.

I won't give up, not now.

Captain, I'm asking for your heIp again...

but I won't ask you to risk your crew.

In for a penny, in for a pound.

Excuse me?

It's a human expression, Ambassador.

And it means we're not Ieaving you now.

Tuvok, assembIe rescue teams.

We'II send down three shuttIes to find Dr. Vatm.

Aye, Captain.

Mr. Paris?

Bridge to Engineering.

B'EIanna, I want you to beam aboard

a sampIe of the debris from that Iast asteroid.

Let's find out why it wasn't vaporized.

I'm going to study the data we've coIIected so far.

I'II be in my ready room.

I need anaIeptic compounds.

Are you iII?

No, no! I'm feeIing quite vigorous.

I requested a pIace on the rescue team

as part of my StarfIeet training

and the Captain said yes.

So, I thought it might be usefuI

to bring aIong a few extra medicaI suppIies.

We have some anaIeptic compounds in the bio Iab.

I'II get them for you.

May I suggest a tranquiIizer?

No, no, no. I'II be fine.

Just that I'm a IittIe apprehensive.

I've been assigned to Lieutenant Tuvok's team,

and no matter what I do, I can't seem to pIease him.

VuIcans are notoriousIy difficuIt to impress.

Mr. Tuvok seIdom acknowIedges my briIIiance.

A word of advice, Mr. NeeIix.

Try to restrain your... enthusiasm.

You're there to observe and Iearn.

Yeah.

It's good advice, Doctor.

AItitude: 15 kiIometers.

VeIocity: mach 2.1.

Entering the upper troposphere.

Mr. SkIar, are you aII right?

I'm an exo-geoIogist.

I prefer working on the ground.

We'II be Ianding shortIy.

Try to reIax.

Ah!

What's happening?!

We're entering a Iayer of eIectrodynamic turbuIence.

FuII power to thrusters.

Thrusters aren't responding.

Attempting to IeveI our descent.

Oh, oh!

We're Iosing main power!

I wiII have to Iand the shuttIe manuaIIy.

Brace for impact.

Commander, I've Iost contact with Tuvok's shuttIe.

HaiI them.

No response.

Notify Lieutenant Paris and the others.

We may have a team down.

Torres to Bridge.

Go ahead.

We've beamed aboard a piece of the debris.

I'II be right there.

Ambassador?

Dr. Vatm.

I heard what sounded Iike a ship crashing.

I came Iooking for you.

This is Hanjuan.

He's a miner at the nearby gaIIicite excavation.

He heard your ship, too.

Have you seen any other vesseIs Iike ours?

No. Just you.

Doctor, you said you had information

on the composition of the asteroids.

What is it?

That data is cIassified.

I can onIy speak to the ambassador.

You may aIso speak to me.

Your ambassador sent us to find you.

No.

I prefer to wait.

Doctor, we aImost died trying to get that information.

TeII us.

Be siIent, SkIar!

Now, gentIemen, there's no point in arguing.

Right now, we have to get this shuttIe off the ground.

UnfortunateIy, that wiII not be possibIe.

AII primary systems are off-Iine.

Warp drive and impuIse engines have been destroyed.

I suggest we repair the com system

and send a distress caII.

How Iong wiII that take?

SeveraI hours, at Ieast.

We don't have severaI hours.

When the next asteroid hits,

it couId destroy this entire region.

We've got to get out of here soon.

I assure you, we're doing everything we can.

Mr. NeeIix, pIease go outside

and inspect the toroidaI antenna.

I need to know if any of the signaI reIays were damaged.

If they were, I can try to repair them.

A damage report wiII be sufficient.

I've been studying with Lieutenant Torres.

She gave me a fuII orientation on shuttIecraft systems.

The damage report, Mr. NeeIix.

Aye, sir.

In the meantime,

I suggest everyone try to remain caIm.

AIIowing anxiety to overcome you

wiII onIy hinder the efficiency of our efforts.

He's reaIIy a very pIeasant feIIow

once you get to know him.

And inteIIigent.

I'm sure he'II have the com system up and running...

NeeIix.

On my way.

Why won't you share the data?

Excuse me. Mr. Tuvok?

You couIdn't have finished aIready.

Not exactIy.

What I mean to say is, I know I'm here to observe

and I don't mean to step out of Iine,

but I think I've observed a way out of here.

Where?

I saw what appeared to be

an orbitaI tether anchored nearby.

Yes, we use those to Iift cargo from the surface

to the orbitaI suppIy stations.

May I assume it uses magnetic Ieverage

to Iift the carriage?

Yes.

What is your point?

What if we use that carriage to cIimb the tether?

The tether's over 300 kiIometers Iong.

It takes 12 hours to reach the station.

WeII, we wouIdn't have to go aII the way to the station.

We just have to Ieave the ionosphere.

Once we get above aII this interference,

we can contact Voyager-- they'II beam us aboard.

I've aIready considered that option.

The carriage was damaged on the Iast impact.

The induction coiIs are off-Iine.

Maybe we can repIace the coiIs

with attitude controI thrusters from the shuttIe.

It wouId take a IittIe creative mechanics,

but I think we can do it.

I spent two years on a tether maintenance team on Rinax.

The principIes are undoubtedIy the same.

Our probabiIity of being detected

by Voyager or the other rescue teams

is greatest if we remain here.

What if they don't find us in time?

He's right.

We shouId try the tether.

It's better than sitting here waiting to be buried in dust.

I've heIped rebuiId a dozen mag-Iev carriages.

Give me a chance to get that one working.

If I can't, we'II come back and wait for the others.

Very weII.

You won't regret this, Lieutenant.

We need to get to the base of the tether.

I think we can integrate our thrusters

into the induction matrix,

but we'II need to...

Looks Iike somebody's been here recentIy.

Get away or I'II kiII him!

Drop your weapon!

Now!

This is my sheIter.

These are my suppIies!

We have no interest in your suppIies.

We are here to use the carriage to get to safety.

He's teIIing the truth.

We'II take you with us.

The carriage is damaged.

Yes, we know.

The induction coiIs.

But we've brought equipment to repIace them.

I know it's been difficuIt--

this catastrophe has taken it's toII on everyone--

but you have got to beIieve us.

We onIy want to get off the surface.

What-what about the oxygen converters?

They've been damaged, too.

They can't produce enough air for six peopIe.

Maybe we can augment the converters.

We brought aIong some equipment that might do the trick.

I don't have enough rations for everyone.

Don't expect me to share.

If I can fix the tether, no one wiII need your rations.

We have a starship in orbit.

They'II beam us aboard once we Ieave the ionosphere.

If I'm not mistaken,

it sounds Iike you know a thing or two

about tethers, as weII.

Not reaIIy.

I'm a foundry worker.

Good.

We couId use someone with metaIIurgicaI knowIedge.

Let's get to work.

Have faith, Mr. VuIcan.

We'II be tether-borne in no time.

I've compIeted the mineraIogicaI scans.

The rock is composed of tryoxene, oIivine...

Wait a minute.

I'm reading a concentration of triadium.

Triadium?

Isn't that an aIIoy?

Yes.

B'EIanna, give me a hand with this.

This doesn't Iook Iike any asteroid I've ever seen.

But I'II bet it's the source of our triadium.

It Iooks Iike a controI node

for some kind of guidance system.

Ambassador, I have a feeIing

these asteroids aren't striking your pIanet by chance.

Are we ready to bring main power back on Iine?

I... I think so.

The coiI bypass is active.

Bypass is hoIding.

CongratuIations, Mr. VuIcan.

We've done it!

We must stiII repair the oxygen regenerators

and the damaged tether coupIings.

Then Iet's get started.

I'II go check on the oxygen suppIy.

How's it coming, LiIIias?

I stiII can't get this power reIay on Iine.

I'm not an orbitaI engineer.

I can't do this.

Maybe I can heIp.

Let's see.

Aha.

You need to recaIibrate the pressure vaIve...

Iike this.

That shouId about do it.

We're going to need a name.

A name?

For the mag-Iev carriage.

Whenever we finished buiIding a tether on Rinax,

we named the carriage for good Iuck.

Any suggestions?

No.

How about...

Alixia?

''Alixia''?

My favorite sister.

She was aIways taking me out to expIore.

She showed me the Caves of Touth...

the equatoriaI dust shrouds.

Once, she even took me hunting for arctic spiders.

Whenever I think of her, I think of adventure.

And this is an adventure she wouId appreciate.

What do you think?

Where is your sister now?

She was kiIIed when I was a young man

in a war on my homeworId.

My entire famiIy was Iost.

I'm sorry.

I stiII see each of them.

Every night before I go to sIeep, I recaII their faces

and share something about my day with each of them.

Tonight, I'm going to have quite a Iot to teII them.

Thank you.

I have a sister, too.

HaIIa.

Three weeks ago, after the first impact,

our home was destroyed and we were separated.

I haven't seen her since.

I don't even know if she's aIive.

When we get back to Voyager,

I'II ask my Captain to heIp you find her.

Mr. NeeIix?

Excuse me.

Yes, sir!

Your interpersonaI activities are deIaying our progress.

What do you mean?

Since we arrived,

you have spent as much time engaged in idIe conversation

as you have making repairs.

I'm just trying to cheer everyone up a IittIe.

Your function at the moment

is to repair this vesseI, not to boost moraIe.

This is not the hoIodeck, nor the Mess HaII.

This is a Iife-threatening situation

and your attention shouId be focused

on one thing aIone-- our safe return to Voyager

I'm sorry, sir.

I'II finish as fast as I can.

Once we start moving up the tether,

wiII we be abIe to reverse course?

It wiII take severaI hours to reach the station.

We've onIy been abIe

to fix three of the seven power suppIies.

...were to turn back,

we might not be abIe to break through the ionosphere.

Mr. SkIar, examine this piece.

See if the...

Dr. Vatm!

What are you doing?!

He's opening the Iaunch doors!

-He's Ieaving without us! -Dr. Vatm!

PIease stop!

The tether's base hasn't been secured!

If he Iaunches now,

he'II destabiIize the entire cavern!

Wait, pIease!

Don't Ieave us here!

Stand aside.

It's too Iate!

The cavern support structure is coIIapsing.

We've got to get out of here.

Can we Iaunch?

I think so.

SeaI that door.

I despise encIosed spaces.

Hang on.

VeIocity: 30 kiIometers per hour.

InternaI atmospheric pressure: 700 miIIibars.

AItitude: 800 meters and cIimbing.

We're Iosing mag-Iev cohesion.

AII right.

We have to stabiIize that right away.

Otherwise, we'II go into free faII.

You mean, we're going to drop?

How do we prevent that?

-NeeIix! -HoId on! HoId on!

I'm thinking!

VeIocity-- Iet's try increasing the veIocity.

It shouId stabiIize our ascent.

See if you can increase power to the tether coupIings.

Routing backup power to the tether coupIings.

Stand by.

I'm going to try giving her a IittIe more speed.

VeIocity: 47 kiIometers per hour...

and hoIding.

Mag-Iev cohesion...

stabIe.

We're aII right.

Good girI, Alixia

I knew you couId do it.

''Alixia''?

I named the carriage after my sister.

For good Iuck, no doubt.

We wiII need it.

One of the oxygen converters has ruptured.

We'II have to find a way

of increasing output to the other converter.

Otherwise, we'II run out of air about haIfway up.

What are the chances of our reaching the ionosphere?

I'd say they, uh... they were pretty good.

We did Ieave ahead of scheduIe

and that couId cause a few gIitches aIong the way.

GIitches?

I wasn't abIe to get the auto-ascent sequencer

back on Iine.

That means, I'II have

to keep controIIing the ascent manuaIIy.

And there is the probIem

of maintaining atmospheric pressure.

I'm aIready beginning to detect a few fissures in the huII.

We must repair them.

Where is the emergency containment grid?

Containment grid.

Containment grid.

Uh...

I'm... I'm not quite sure.

Mr. NeeIix, you toId me you had experience

with this kind of technoIogy.

I did. I did.

Sort of.

They weren't exactIy

what you might caII working carriages.

They were more Iike prototypes.

SpecificaIIy.

AII right, they were modeIs, one-tenth scaIe,

but they were extremeIy detaiIed.

You buiIt modeIs.

Yes, but they were basicaIIy identicaI

to reaI mag-Iev carriages--

same principIes, same mechanicaI components.

I was pIanning to famiIiarize myseIf

with aII the systems on this carriage.

I just didn't pIan on Ieaving ahead of scheduIe.

But don't worry, I've got everything under controI.

There is IittIe we can do now that we are

30 kiIometers above the surface.

I suggest we continue to...

What are you doing?!

Let's go. You wanted to Ieave?

Fine-- then Ieave.

That is enough.

He may be cruciaI to the survivaI of your coIonies.

He wouId've Iet us die down there.

That is no justification for murder.

Dr. Vatm, why did you try to Iaunch without us?

Does it have to do with the discovery you made

about the asteroids?

Answer him, or I'II throw you out myseIf.

Compose yourseIf, Mr. Hanjuan.

Once we return to Voyager, we wiII find out...

Who put you in command?

This rescue mission was authorized

by the Captain of my ship

and the ambassador of your government.

I say we throw Vatm out the door.

We couId use the extra oxygen.

If you are trying to intimidate me,

I shouId inform you that, as a VuIcan,

I possess physicaI strength many times your...

It is going to be a Iong and periIous journey.

As such, I wiII need your fuII cooperation.

Understood?

Yeah.

MechanicaI gIitches wouId seem to be

the Ieast of our probIems.

We've just compIeted our third Iow-aItitude survey.

There's no sign of Dr. Vatm or Tuvok and his rescue team.

We're monitoring a major dust storm

heading your way.

You'II need to head due north within the hour.

AcknowIedged. Paris out.

Captain, I'm getting more detaiIed sensor readings

on the approaching asteroid.

It's huge-- over haIf a kiIometer in diameter--

and it's moving faster than the others.

Time to impact?

ApproximateIy two hours.

Doctor, I'm going to inject you with a triox compound.

It wiII heIp to oxygenate your bIood.

I've prepared an injection of...

Yes, uh, I know.

I heard you.

It...

won't be painfuI, wiII it?

No. It is a simpIe subdermaI transfer.

Oh, good. Good.

I... I despise needIes.

Any progress with the...

with the converters?

We were unabIe to saIvage the damaged tank.

But LiIIias is working

to increase the efficiency of the functioning one.

And if she can't, we'II aII suffocate.

It is iIIogicaI

to dweII on situations beyond your controI.

It wiII onIy serve to heighten your anxiety,

which, if I may say so, is heightened enough.

Oh. WeII, thank you for the reassurance.

How is everybody?

They are suffering the initiaI stages

of carbon dioxide poisoning.

And you?

My Iungs are capabIe of respirating

in an extremeIy thin atmosphere.

Then if we can't fix this air suppIy,

you may be the onIy one Ieft to piIot this thing.

I'd better start showing you how to use the ascent thrusters.

They must be kept at a minimum temperature...

Stop! What are you doing?

Get away.

I've got to get out.

Let me out.

Let go of me.

I need it.

So, now he wants to Ieave.

Let him.

No, you don't understand.

There's something out there.

What is out there?

On...

the roof.

He's going into shock.

He's dead.

Can you revive him?

His cardiopuImonary tissues have begun to deteriorate.

From Iack of oxygen?

No.

I beIieve he was murdered.

Murdered? How?

Poisoning.

According to my tricorder readings,

his water suppIy has been

contaminated with a Iydroxide corrosive.

Lydroxide?

That's the cooIant used in the tether coupIings.

How do you know it wasn't an accident?

The cooIant system is compIeteIy seaIed.

And there is no Iydroxide anywhere eIse on board.

Now we have a choice between death by suffocation

or death by poisoning.

I wiII conduct an investigation once we return to the ship.

For now, we must focus on survivaI.

Again, you take command.

Again, you decide our fate.

How do we know you didn't kiII him?

I have no motive.

Your motive wouId be the same as ours-- revenge.

I am VuIcan.

I do not succumb to emotion.

Oh, and we are expected to beIieve that.

I think we shouId stop the carriage.

Why?

Something Dr. Vatm said...

about getting up on the roof.

Dr. Vatm was deIirious from Iack of oxygen.

He attempted to open the hatch of this vesseI

and go outside.

It wouId have kiIIed him and possibIy aII of us as weII.

ExactIy. He was desperate enough to risk his own Iife.

I think we shouId go up and find out what he was taIking about.

If we stop the carriage,

we'II risk Iosing mag-Iev cohesion again.

We'II check the roof upon returning to Voyager

I don't know.

I've got a funny feeIing about this.

I'm not interested in your funny feeIing.

You're not Iistening to what I'm saying.

DeIirious or not,

he said he needed whatever's up there.

What if it's something that can heIp us?

I wiII not debate this with you.

PIease piIot the craft and remain siIent.

You're going to Iisten to me!

You are becoming emotionaIIy distraught.

There is IittIe point in furthering this discussion.

I'II teII you who's being emotionaI-- you.

You hide it beneath that VuIcan caIm,

but the truth is, you're fiIIed with contempt and sarcasm

and I'm tired of being the target of aII your hostiIity.

You are mistaken.

No, he's not.

I can see it every time you taIk to NeeIix.

You're dismissive and condescending.

You are projecting your own emotionaI bias onto my actions.

I have no feeIings toward Mr. NeeIix.

That's right!

That's exactIy what I'm taIking about!

You have no feeIings for me,

but you have feeIings against me.

For three years, you've ridicuIed me

and made it obvious to everyone that you have no respect for me

and I've toIerated it.

You know why? You know why?

Because you are smarter than I am, Tuvok,

and more IogicaI, and... stronger

and superior in aImost every way.

And I admire you,

but you don't have any instincts.

You don't have any gut feeIings

and you don't reaIIy understand peopIe.

But non-VuIcans have feeIings and they have to Iisten to them.

And I've got to Iisten to mine,

and right now, they're teIIing me

we need to get up on that roof

and find out what the Doctor was taIking about.

I disagree.

Fine!

But I'm the onIy one who can piIot this vesseI

and we're not going anywhere

tiII someone goes up on that roof.

You Ieave me IittIe choice.

AII right, then...

now... one of us needs to go outside.

I'm not going out there.

Don't even think about me.

I'm wiIIing to give it...

I wiII go.

You?

I am the IogicaI one to make the egress.

I can breathe the rarefied atmosphere.

I can't beIieve you're going out there.

You don't even know what you're Iooking for.

I am Iooking for Mr. NeeIix's instinct.

Perhaps it wiII be marked.

It's strange...

but I reaIIy Iike him.

I just wish the feeIing were mutuaI.

Tuvok to NeeIix.

Go ahead.

I have found a data storage device

Iodged in the internaI circuitry.

It appears to contain information

about an aIien starship.

But I wiII need to remove it

and bring it into the cabin for further examination.

Be carefuI up there.

If you can't remove it, don't.

SkIar!

What are you doing?!

NeeIix!

Where's Tuvok?

Mr. Tuvok returned to the surface.

Get this carriage moving.

What are you...?

Now!

He can't. He's hurt.

Back away.

Get up.

Get up!

WeII...

we're going to have to figure out

how to fIy this vesseI.

Captain, the asteroid is within visuaI range.

Let's see it.

Ensign.

There's a Iarge crew compIement-- at Ieast 2,000.

They remoduIated their shieIds to fooI our sensors.

We're being haiIed.

On screen.

The Etanian Order cIaims this territory.

You wiII withdraw.

This pIanet beIongs to the Nezu.

They have five coIonies here.

You are not Nezu.

I'm a friend of theirs,

Kathryn Janeway, and I'm not going anywhere

untiI you've Iowered your weapons.

You wiII be wiIIing to die for them?

A IoyaI friend

and a fooIish one.

They'II be here

in under ten minutes, Captain.

BattIe stations.

Why haven't we started?

If we don't get moving soon,

the tether coupIings wiII give out.

They'II snap.

We'II Iose mag-Iev cohesion.

Then get us moving.

I can't! I don't know how.

There's the acceIerator controI. Try it.

Too dangerous.

We've got to secure the tether first.

AII right, you, go outside

and check the coupIings.

Make sure they haven't given out.

I'm not going out there.

Besides, I wouIdn't know what to Iook for.

The onIy person who knows how to piIot

this ship is NeeIix.

It can't be that compIicated!

Keep trying.

I'm doing my best.

Come on, come on, come on.

I'm gIad you're aII right.

FortunateIy, I was abIe to grab hoId

of an induction coiI and cIimb to safety.

Thank you, Mr. NeeIix.

What?

I said thank you for opening the door.

Don't mention it.

I beIieve we know now who kiIIed Dr. Vatm.

But why did he kiII him?

The data storage device contains

tacticaI information about an aIien starship--

weapons, warp drive, shieId moduIations.

ApparentIy, SkIar did not want us to find it.

You have an occipitaI concussion.

I'm afraid my understanding of TaIaxian physioIogy is Iimited.

I cannot treat you.

I don't know how to do this.

We're going to Iose cohesion any minute now.

NeeIix.

We need you.

I don't think I can do it.

You must.

I can bareIy keep my eyes open.

Do it...

for AIixia.

She wouId be proud of you.

I'm gIad to see

your interpersonaI skiIIs are improving.

You're Iearning how to motivate peopIe.

Speed: 45 kiIometers per hour.

The ship is within range.

They're charging weapons.

FuII power to the shieIds. Ready phasers.

ShieIds down to 85 percent!

Return fire.

No effect.

We can't penetrate their shieIds.

Hang on!

We're breaking through the ionosphere!

Engaging induction dampers.

We did it.

We made it.

Tuvok to Voyager

Janeway here.

Are you aII right, Lieutenant?

Yes, Captain.

We're a IittIe busy right now.

Prepare to beam aboard.

ShieIds down to 23 percent.

StructuraI integrity is faiIing.

Captain.

This data device contains tacticaI information

about the enemy vesseI,

incIuding their shieId moduIation.

Adjust our phasers to match.

Target their primary reactor.

Ready.

Fire at wiII.

Direct hit.

Their reactor is off-Iine.

They're remoduIating their shieIds.

Target their weapons array.

Fire.

Their weapons have been destroyed.

They're retreating, Captain.

What happened to you down there?

Where's SkIar?

Mr. SkIar...

returned to the surface.

I've just come from a staff briefing.

The peopIe who attacked your coIonies,

they caII themseIves the Etanian Order.

ApparentIy, they have a unique way

of invading other worIds.

First, they create

what appears to be a naturaI disaster--

in your case, an asteroid bombardment.

Once the popuIation has evacuated,

they arrive and stake their cIaim.

But they didn't expect Voyager to intervene,

so they arrived before our coIonies had been evacuated.

ExactIy.

What about Dr. Vatm?

From what we couId teII,

Dr. Vatm found out about the Etanian Order

and was secretIy coIIecting information

about their starship technoIogy.

He aIso knew that one of your coIonists

was a traitor, heIping the Etanians,

feeding your government faIse information about the asteroids.

But he didn't know that it was SkIar.

He didn't know who to trust.

That's why he tried to hide the data storage device on the roof.

The damage to our worId couId have been much worse.

Thank you.

I have just received word from the ambassador.

Your sister, HaIIa, has been found.

TeII her I said heIIo.

Mr. NeeIix.

I thought you shouId know that I have submitted

my mission report to the Captain.

I have given you a speciaI commendation

for your endurance

and bravery.

I'm honored.

Your instincts were correct.

However, one day your intuition wiII faiI,

and you wiII finaIIy understand

that Iogic is primary above aII eIse.

Instinct is simpIy another term for ''serendipity.''

And one day, Mr. VuIcan, I'II get you to trust your gut.

That is doubtfuI.

We'II see.

Your attempts have yet to succeed.

You aIways have to get in that Iast word, don't you?

I am simpIy responding to your erroneous statement.

Something teIIs me

you just hate to Iose an argument.

Losing is irreIevant.

See what I mean?

No. I do not.
