It's losing mass
at an extraordinary rate.

- How long before it goes supernova?
- A hundred years, maybe two.

Too bad we won't be around.
It's gonna be one hell of an explosion.

Speak for yourself.
I might very well be around.

Can't forget vulcan longevity,
captain.

A hundred years from now?
How old would that make you?

No earth ship has ever been
within 10 light years of a hypergiant.

How much farther can we move in?

Our hull temperature
is approaching 1100 degrees.

It would be unsafe to get any closer.

Then we'll have to run our scans
from here.

Tell astrometrics to get going.

I'm sure they're champing at the bit.

We may not be able to get any closer,
but someone else has.

- You found a ship?
- Bearing 261 Mark 4.

It must be at least 20,000 kilometers
farther in than we are.

Let's see her.

Recognize it?

The interference is pretty heavy, sir.

Then try audio.

This is captain Archer
of the starship enterprise.

I assume you've detected us.

Man: Captain drennik.
Where have you traveled from?

The sol system. And you?

We come from a system called vissia
more than 25 light years from here.

We saw you arrive yesterday.

I assume you're here
to study the hypergiant.

My species has never seen one
up close.

It is quite a sight.

Have you measured
its rate of nucleosynthesis?

I'm afraid we haven't developed
the technology to do that.

If you don't mind eliminating
the development stage,

I'd be more than happy to help you
modify your sensors.

Thank you.

I'm not sure we have anything
to offer you in return.

You could invite us to visit your ship.

Meeting new species
is one of our primary goals.

It's one of ours as well.

We'd be honored
to have you join us for dinner.

We 7! Be there within the hour.
I look forward to it.

It'll be nice to have a first contact

where no one's thinking
about charging weapons.

Tell chef we're going
to have some visitors.

Trinesium can withstand temperatures
up to 18,000 degrees.

We've been using it to construct
our hulls for over a century.

You must be able to get down into
the photosphere of most g-type stars.

We can get even deeper
with our stratopod.

It's got twice the shielding.

Flying into stars
is a long way off for us.

Your technology will evolve.

What's important
is that you're explorers.

We have gone farther
than any other humans.

You might enjoy going even farther.

I'm taking the stratopod
into the hydrogen layer tomorrow.

I'd be pleased to have you join me.

I am an explorer.

This is called vanilla
and this is chocolate.

Give it a try.

Oh, no, wait.

You've got to eat the cherry first.
This.

Why?

Uh, you just do.

- A human tradition?
- Exactly.

Well, aren't you going
to introduce me?

Ah, this is Malcolm Reed,
our armory officer.

This is traistana, a xenobiologist,
and veylo is a tactical officer.

Very pleased to meet you.

Why don't you sit down?

The captain did ask us to mingle.

Reed: Indeed.

I was just speaking
with their chief engineer and his wife.

Maybe you should say hello.

See you later.

I'm told you're the chief engineer.

Commander Tucker.

Lieutenant Reed pointed you out.

- Please, sit down.
- Thank you.

This is my wife, calla.

I'm glad you invited us here.

- Are you enjoying your food?
- Oh, very much.

I hope you get the chance
to sample our food.

It's more fragrant than yours.

I look foward to it. I'd also like
to get a peek at your engine room.

By all means.

Trip Tucker. Welcome aboard.

Calla: It has no name.

It's our cogenitor.

- Cogenitor?
- We're hoping to have a baby.

Our warp core
emits omicron radiation.

I'd recommend you speak
with your doctor about an inoculation.

Sure thing.

So you've heard
of these cogenitors?

Ah, not all species
are limited to two sexes, heh.

In fact, I, uh,
have it on good authority

that the rigellians have four.
Or was it five?

So you're saying that this man
or woman or whatever, is a third sex?

- That's exactly what I'm saying.
- And she...

It is part
of the impregnation process?

Precisely.

I'm pretty familiar with how it works
with two sexes, but...

Multi-gendered techniques
aren't always the same.

But in this case, I imagine
the cogenitor provides an enzyme

which facilitates conception.

- What do you mean by "provides"?
- Well, first the female has to...

No. No, no, no, don't tell me.
I don't think I want to know.

Oh, well, mm.

- I have pictures.
- Uh, I think I'll pass.

So how long is this gonna last?
I might want to stay there for a while.

It should protect you from omicron
radiation for about, uh, 12 years.

That should be enough.
Thanks, doc.

Keep an open mind, commander,
hmm?

You came on this mission
to meet other species,

no matter how many genders
they may have.

"There are more things
than heaven and earth

than are dreamt
of in your philosophy."

Where'd you hear that?

Hamlet, act one, scene five.

Your communications officer
was kind enough

to provide us
with some of your literature.

- I assumed you approved.
- Heh, absolutely.

But I didn't think you'd be
quoting it the next day.

We retain most of what we read.

And you obviously read
pretty quickly.

After I finished Shakespeare
last night,

I began reading the plays
of sophocles.

What do you recommend after that?

Seems like you're picking
the good ones all by yourself.

That's got to be ionized hydrogen.

Drennik:
It's generating magnetic currents.

I've got friends back at home
who are not going to believe this.

I have friends who will be equally
impressed with Macbeth.

We're almost into the chromosphere.

The antimatter stream is compressed

before the deuterium's injected
into the core.

So you don't need
magnetic confinement.

Let me bring up the schematics.

Where we come from, earth,

there are only two genders.

That's true of most worlds.

I don't mean to pry, but,

does every family have a cogenitor?

That wouldn't be very efficient.

They're only needed when a couple's
trying to have a child.

And when they're not?

The cogenitor is assigned
to another couple.

They make up about 3 percent
of our population,

which seems to be a perfect ratio.

Nature has a way
of finding the right balance.

Is the one I met the only one
on your ship?

The only one.

Once calla and I are finished with it,

I doubt it'll be needed
before we return home.

Would you like to take a closer look
at the plasma converters?

I would. Thanks.

So does it live
with you and your wife?

We keep it in our quarters, yes.

What does it do when you're not...?

It eats, sleeps.
There's not much else for it to do.

- What about school?
- They only serve one purpose.

Sending them to school
would make no sense.

Why are you so curious about them?

- Humans are very curious.
- Hmm.

You might find this difficult
to believe,

but this polymer is composed

of over 200 naturally-occurring
elements.

That's impossible.

I read in your database
that you've discovered only 92.

I understand how this might
seem unnerving.

A lot of things around here do.

But, uh, I'm trying
to keep an open mind.

- How long will you be gone?
- Close to three days.

The circumference is nearly
a billion kilometers.

We'll be scanning surface features

that are undetectable
from higher altitudes.

Three days is a long time
to be confined to such a small craft,

especially with a person
you've just met.

I think I'll survive.

These people are fascinating, t'pol.
They have a lot to offer us.

"This could be the beginning
of a beautiful relationship."

Which reminds me,

they've asked us
for a sampling of films.

- I've put together a few suggestions.
- I'll see to it.

- You're in charge.
- Of the ship or the movies?

Commander.

- Captain left yet?
- He'll be gone for three days.

He asked that you download
these films

and transfer them
to the vissians' database.

- Did you meet their engineer?
- Briefly.

He and his wife
are trying to have a baby.

How interesting.

There was someone else with them.

They called her a cogenitor.

- You know what that is?
- A third gender.

Why do you call it "her"?

Well, she looks more like a her
than a him.

They treat her like a pet,

kept in her room,
not taught to read or write, no name.

Porthos has a name.

It's not our place
to judge the customs

- of other cultures.
- We're not talking about taking

your shoes off when you walk
into someone's house.

This cogenitor is treated
like one of phlox's leeches.

You pull it out of its tank when you
need it, then you throw it back in.

Tri-gender reproduction
is not uncommon.

That's not what I'm talking about.
This is a question of human rights.

They're not human.

Captain Archer hopes

to develop a productive relationship
with this species.

It might be best
if you kept your opinions to yourself.

It's good advice.

Mating habits are often quite, uh,
personal, hmm?

Some species
aren't comfortable discussing them.

I'm not interested
in discussing their habits.

I'm concerned with the way
they treat this cogenitor.

They're most likely
one and the same.

Yeah, well that doesn't make it right.

It's not a question of right or wrong.

You scanned them
when they came on board.

Don't you always do that?

Well, they weren't carrying
any pathogens

- that would be dangerous to our crew.
- Is there anything you can tell me

about the mental capacity
of this cogenitor?

Is it any different
than the males and females?

Uh, I'm afraid I didn't take
any, uh, neural scans.

Is that something I could do?

Why would you want to?

Just curious.

I suppose you could.

Reed: Fruit and cheese
often complement each other.

So cheese comes
in eight varieties?

Well, actually, there are hundreds,
maybe thousands.

What made you choose these?

They have the strongest smells
of anything we have on board.

You said our food
was aromatically bland,

and I thought this might change
your mind. Try some.

Mild, but very nice.

How about this one?

The odor's a little spicier.

- What's it called?
- Stilton.

Chef says it's pretty pungent.

- Haven't you ever tried it?
- Not for a long time.

Here.

Oh, I'd say that's more
than a little spicy.

- And what's this called?
- Alsatian muenster.

Interesting.

Don't you find it sensual?

Very.

Can we visit the armory later?
I'm anxious to see your tactical array.

There's an old earth expression:

"I'll show you mine if, heh,
you show me yours."

Your father.

That's hard to imagine.

The men who developed
warp drive on my world

lived nearly a thousand years ago.

I'm surprised your ancestors
never made it to earth.

We don't believe
in traveling great distances.

There's far too much
to see close to home.

Well, maybe now you have a reason
to visit us.

- It's not that far.
- I'm sure we can make an exception.

I'm going to take us down to the edge
of the photosphere.

- It might get a little turbulent.
- Fine with me.

When the engine reaches
critical mass,

a mixture of positrons and neutrinos
is injected into the chamber.

Hmm,
the efficiency's up over 30 percent.

Pretty impressive.

It's possible this technology
could be modified for enterprise.

We'd be very grateful.

We don't have any married couples
on enterprise.

Do they give you special quarters?

- The captain's very generous.
- I wish ours was.

I've got a room
not half the size of this one.

I'd love to get a look
at your quarters some time.

If I could describe it
to captain Archer,

he might consider expanding
my living space.

Well, why don't you join us
for dinner tonight?

You did agree to try our food.

Are you telling me
you have a dining room?

We'll try not to prepare
anything too pungent.

It's pretty mild,
considering the, urn, smell.

For us, the aroma
is far more important than the taste.

This must have taken you all day.

If I had all day, I would have prepared
a far more scented meal.

Calla's in charge
of the microgravity lab.

We usually don't have much time
for cooking.

Will your cogenitor be joining us?

It rarely eats more
than one meal a day.

Oh, so in our mess hall...

Bringing the cogenitor to your ship
was an exception.

I was hoping to say hello.

Why would you want to do that?

Commander Tucker is very curious
about our reproductive process.

Humans are bi-gendered.

I'll see if it's awake.

Which one's the cogenitor?

Right here.

Her synaptic density and neural mass
are almost identical to the other two.

Your cogenitor appears
to be no more or less intelligent

than the male and female.

I wouldn't mind
taking a turn at the helm.

Oh, our navigation controls
are not like yours.

They're based on five spatial axes.

I've been watching you.
I think I can handle it.

- You obviously have some experience.
- A little.

There's a pretty big flare
forming below us.

I think I can loop around it,
let you get a better scan.

It's giving off a lot of magnetic flux.

It may cause false readings
in the navigation sensors.

I'll keep an eye on it.

So by rotating the quantum inverters,
you've tripled the antimatter flux?

Exactly.

Three more, and I'll be finished.

I haven't eaten anything
since this morning.

If you don't mind, I'll go to your
mess hall, see what they're serving.

If you wait until I'm done,
I'll show you how to get there.

I'll be all right.
I'm sure I can find the way.

See you in a little while?

- They're not here.
- I came to see you.

Why?

I brought you this.

It'll teach you how to read.

- Now you try it.
- I don't understand.

You just touch the word,
then you'll hear it pronounced.

Go ahead, try it.

- Tablet: Today.
- That's right.

Now, go to the next one.

- Tablet: Today we're.
- Good. Again.

Why are you doing this?
It's not right for me to read.

- Who told you that?
- You shouldn't be here.

You're as capable as they are.

As smart as they are.

That's not true.
They need me to have children.

It's not a question of what they need.

You have the same rights
to learn,

to choose how you're gonna live,

to have a name.

That may be true on your world,
but not on mine.

When calla gives birth,
who's gonna raise the baby?

- Who's gonna take care of it.
- — they will.

Why? You're just as crucial
in creating the child as they are.

- You don't understand.
- Okay, maybe.

We took scans.

My doctor says you have
the same potential as they do.

The only thing that sets you apart
is your gender.

You're no more different
than they are from each other.

Haven't you ever wished
you could read?

It won't hurt you, you know?

There's nothing to be afraid of.

Tablet: Today we 're going...

Today we're going to...

Today we're going to read.

I'm starting to get the hang of this.

I can take us down a little closer
if you'd like.

Another 10,000 meters
and I'll be able to get a particle count

of the photosphere.

Aye, aye, captain.

Ten thousand meters it is.

Are you all right?

Absolutely.

If you can keep us at this altitude
a little while longer.

No problem.

Are these armed
with photonic warheads?

Photonic?
I'm not familiar with that.

I'm afraid our weapons are somewhat
more sophisticated than yours.

This technology must seem
pretty antiquated to you.

Where I come from,
antiquated can be very quaint.

- Is that how you see us? Quaint?
- And charming.

What sort of power source
do these use?

Sarium micro-cells.

I suppose that's very quaint too.

We charge our weapons
the same way.

Well, maybe you'd like to see
the phase-Cannon assembly.

Please.

Reed: After you.

It has multiphasic emitters

and a maximum yield
of 80 gigajoules.

Impressive.

- I'm sorry it's so cramped in here.
- Don't be.

I've wanted to get a little closer
to you all day.

Really?

I was hoping to spend
some intimate time with you.

Maybe we could
sleep together tonight.

On earth, it's customary
to ask a woman to dinner first

before spending the night with her.

It's very different on vissia.

It's only when a woman enjoys
her intimate time with a man

that she'll join him for dinner.

"The didiron mountain range runs
through the upper-plains

of the great continent."

Amazing.

The text describes
far more impressive peaks.

I don't mean the mountains.
I mean your reading.

"The fauna and flora vary greatly
on either side of the central plateau."

Look how much you've accomplished
in a single day.

And reading is just the tip
of the iceberg.

You could study all sorts of things.
History, science.

Engineering's not bad.

You don't have to sit in this room
all day.

They would never let me
learn those things.

Then you've got to convince them.

It's not just learning,
it's experiencing things.

Music, swimming in the ocean.

- You do have oceans on your planet?
- Yes.

And how about
those didiron mountains?

Reading about them is one thing.

Climbing them is another.

I'd like to climb a mountain.

There you go. That...
That's the right attitude.

You keep at it.

I've got to get back.
They think I'm at the astrometrics lab.

But I'll see you as soon as I can.

- Trip?
- Yeah?

I'd like my name to be trip,
just like yours.

Actually, my name is Charles.

Then I would like my name
to be Charles.

I'm flattered.

There's a flare forming ahead.

- I don't see it. — you will.

Turn the axis 40 degrees to port.
I think we can bank around it.

- It's too big.
- Take us up. Try to get over it.

- We're not gonna make it.
- Increase speed.

It won't be enough.

- What are you doing?
- If you can't get over a wave,

you gotta dive through it.

Where did you learn to do that?

North shore of oahu. Body surfing.

I think it's time
you took the helm back.

Would you be punished if they
find out you've brought me here?

Punished? No.
But they might get a little angry.

I would be punished.

- Maybe I should take you back.
- No, no. I want to see more.

Okay.

We'll just have to be sure
no one spots us.

This is our transporter.

It turns things into a matter stream
that can be sent just about anywhere

within 2000 kilometers or so.

Then it gets reassembled.

- Could it send a vissian?
- I don't see why not.

I'd like to try.

I don't think
that would be a good idea.

- Could I see where you work?
- Sure. Follow me.

Coast is clear.

That's our main engine.
Fastest one in starfleet.

I've had it up to warp 5.1.

I think my ship has something
like this, but I've never seen it.

Heh, your ship has an engine

that's a lot more sophisticated
than this one.

Do you live here?

Uh, no. My quarters are on b-deck.

Have you ever seen a movie?

Trip: It's not easy picking
a movie for somebody

who's never seen one before.

What would you think
about a western?

No, not a western.

I don't think a musical
would be right either.

Got it.
The day the earth stood still.

Nothing like a little science fiction
to break you in.

It's a story about your planet?

Yeah, but it's fiction.

The earth never really stood still.
Sit down.

You're gonna love this.

Cogenitor: Why were the humans
so afraid of klaatu and his Android?

Trip: Well, before we made
first contact with the vulcans,

the people of earth
were pretty violent.

Had a hard time trusting things
they didn't understand.

The characters in the film
knew nothing about klaatu,

who he was, where he came from.

So they tried to kill him.

I understand.

Does this mean I've won?

No one's beaten me at this
in the last two years.

Tell me about westerns.
Maybe I could watch a western next.

It's getting late.

We'd better get you back
before they realize you're gone.

I've been told you're no longer
welcome aboard the vissian ship.

- — Why?
- I wasn't where I was supposed to be.

No, you weren't.

You told them you were going
to the astrometrics lab.

They tried to contact you
but you weren't there.

Then they tried their mess hall.
You weren't there either.

- I was with the cogenitor.
- Where?

At first, in her quarters.

Actually, they're not her quarters.

They belong to the chief engineer
and his wife.

She gets a room to sleep in
and if she's real good

she can use their living space.

Why were you there?

I'm teaching her how to read.

- Her education is not your concern.
- What education?

Where else did you go?

I brought her here,
gave her a little tour,

showed her a movie.

It appears you're doing
everything you can

to undermine the captain's wishes.

One day, that's all it took her.

In one day,
she was reading a geography text.

First contacts are important
to the captain.

You may very well have damaged
this one irreparably.

You're not listening to a word
I'm saying.

Trip: I didn't see you.

How are you doing? You all right?

They don't want to help me.

They don't want me
to climb mountains.

Don't worry, they will. Give it time.

They're angry with you.

Theyflleave
as soon as our captain returns.

They won't help me, but you can.

I want to stay here, please.

- Archer to enterprise.
- T'pol: Go ahead.

That was one hell of a ride.

I'll tell you about it
in a couple of hours.

We've got a lot of data to download
into their computers.

I think it would be best
if you come back immediately, sir.

There's been an incident.

Where is she?

It's not exactly a she, sir.

- Where?
- In my quarters.

- How long ago did this happen?
- Last night, after supper.

They demanded
that she be returned immediately.

I did exactly what you'd do, captain.

It's not like I had much choice.
I wasn't gonna...

Would you excuse us,
sub-commander?

I might have expected
something like this

from a first-year recruit,

but not you.

You did exactly what I'd do?

If that's true,
then I've done a pretty lousy job

setting an example around here.

You're a senior officer on this ship.

You're privy to the moral challenges
I've had to face.

You know I've wrestled
with the fine line

between doing what I think is right

and interfering with other species.

So don't tell me you know
what I would have done

when I don't even know
what I would have done.

I didn't think it would hurt
to teach her how to read.

Then you didn't think hard enough.

We're out here to meet new species,
not tell them what to do.

Teaching her to read is no different
than you giving them books or movies.

Giving them books is a lot different
than suggesting they defy their culture.

And they asked me for the books.

Did she ask you
to teach her how to read?

No, sir.

And sneaking into her quarters,

bringing her on enterprise,

lying about where you were going.
Why?

Come with me.

You don't understand.
I can't go back.

Just until we resolve this.

Trip said I have the same rights
as they do.

It's not our place to tell you
what rights you have.

I'm sorry.

Are you going to force me to leave?

Some men can work together
for years

without creating the friendship
and bond that we did in only two days.

I'm certain we can resolve this.

I'm afraid it may not be that simple.

On my world,

when someone asks for asylum,

it has to be given
serious consideration.

We're not on your world.

And I doubt whether this person
truly understood

what your engineer was suggesting.

I've been told this person

is just as capable of understanding
as any of you are.

Why are we debating this?

The cogenitor belongs on our ship.

Or are you suggesting my wife and I
abandon our plans to have a child?

I've been asked to give sanctuary

to someone who believes
she's been treated unfairly.

I can't ignore that.

We're the ones
being treated unfairly.

Do you know how long we've waited
to be given a cogenitor?

"Given"?

You sound like you're talking
about some inanimate object.

You have no right to judge us.
You know nothing about our culture.

What if one of your stewards,

the men who are forced
to serve you food,

what if they should ask us
for asylum?

They're not forced to do anything.

I apologize.

But it's easy
to misunderstand someone

when you know nothing
about their culture.

You can't expect me
to ignore someone

when they ask for my protection.

We're in no rush to leave.
Take your time.

Consider what we've said.

You shouldn't have misgivings.

You've made the right choice.

Come in.

Drennik: Captain Archer.

I'm afraid Shakespeare
only wrote 36 plays.

It might be best if you take
your time memorizing them.

By all means.

I hope yesterday's
unfortunate incident

won't interfere with future relations
between our people.

You sure you don't have
an extra stratopod you could spare?

I'm sure your starfleet
will develop one soon enough.

- Goodbye, captain.
- Safe journey.

Time to say goodbye
to the hypergiant.

Prepare to get undennay, Travis.

Go ahead.

Hoshi: There's a call coming in
from the vissian captain, sir.

He sounds upset.

Put him through.

Come in.

You wanted to see me, captain?

I was just told
that the vissian cogenitor died.

What?

How?

Suicide, trip.

She killed herself.

That can't be. Why?

- It's my fault. I'm responsible.
- You're damn right you are.

And it's not just her.

There's a child
who won't be conceived

because of this.

At least not for a long while.

It's time you learn

to weigh the possible repercussions
of your actions.

You've always been impulsive.

Maybe this will teach you a lesson.

I understand.

Do you?

I'm not so sure you do.

You knew you had no business
interfering with those people,

but you just couldn't let it alone.

You thought you were doing
the right thing.

I might agree if this was Florida
or Singapore.

But it's not, is it?

We're in deep space
and a person is dead.

A person who'd still be alive
if we hadn't made first contact.

I guess I haven't been very successful
at getting at through to you.

If I had,

you would have thought a lot harder
before doing what you did.

You're not responsible.

Dismissed.

Captain?
