How do you detect other people's...moods? 215 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:18,592 We don't. Well, actually, we do but we do it through observing behavior--getting to know someone. 216 00:19:18,915 --> 00:19:21,753 The follicles on your face...If I'm not mistaken, they've grown. 217 00:19:23,655 --> 00:19:24,960 Do they have a purpose? 218 00:19:26,098 --> 00:19:31,971 not that I know of.

How'd I know that? 234 00:20:57,634 --> 00:20:59,795 I wasn't certain the granules would work with your species. 235 00:21:00,208 --> 00:21:05,297 Captain Archer saved your life once about four years ago. 236 00:21:06,455 --> 00:21:14,231 This is one hell of a game.

You can't imagine what it was like over there, Travis. 243 00:22:03,906 --> 00:22:11,640 Food growing on the walls, teraphasic warp coils boxes full of pebbles that make you telepathic. 244 00:22:11,915 --> 00:22:13,142 What were the Xyrillians like? 245 00:22:13,431 --> 00:22:17,290 Little shorter than us, weird scales on their faces but 246 00:22:17,636 --> 00:22:20,786 otherwise pretty much like you and me.

The males simply serve as 'hosts.' 303 00:25:53,433 --> 00:25:55,983 That's comforting. How the hell did I get knocked up? 304 00:25:56,645 --> 00:26:04,242 We don't have any data on their mating procedures but 305 00:26:04,684 --> 00:26:09,221 I wouldn't think it would be that difficult for you to recollect a sexual encounter. 306 00:26:10,936 --> 00:26:15,760 Three days. You were only there for three days and you couldn't restrain yourself. 307 00:26:16,099 --> 00:26:18,816 I'm telling you, Captain I was a complete gentleman the entire time. 308 00:26:19,341 --> 00:26:22,995 I imagine that's a question of how you define 'gentleman.' 309 00:26:23,597 --> 00:26:27,537 The only female I had any contact with was Ah'len, their engineer. 310 00:26:27,927 --> 00:26:33,228 Other than repairing the reactor all she and I did together was go into this holographic chamber they've got. 311 00:26:33,334 --> 00:26:38,332 She showed me some home movies, simulations of their planet--but I didn't lay a hand on her. 312 00:26:38,853 --> 00:26:41,307 There's got to be some way to get this thing out of me without hurting it. 313 00:26:42,135 --> 00:26:45,068 Can't you create a surrogate chamber or something? 314 00:26:45,330 --> 00:26:47,910 The embryo has integrated with your pericardium. 315 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,442 I wouldn't be comfortable extracting it without more information on the gestation process. 316 00:26:51,709 --> 00:26:54,123 This engineer wanted you to see her planet? 317 00:26:54,892 --> 00:26:55,722 So? 318 00:26:56,521 --> 00:26:59,734 Perhaps the next step would have been to meet her holographic parents. 319 00:27:00,235 --> 00:27:04,366 If I'm not mistaken on some planets, that's a precursor to marriage. 320 00:27:04,984 --> 00:27:10,545 We took a ride in a rowboat. I swear, Captain, nothing happened. 321 00:27:11,236 --> 00:27:16,220 There had to have been a somewhat lengthy physical contact to transfer this much genetic material. 322 00:27:18,081 --> 00:27:18,946 Trip? 323 00:27:19,802 --> 00:27:22,016 I've been in Starfleet for 12 years. 324 00:27:22,593 --> 00:27:27,171 Do you think I'd jeopardize my career by messing around with some alien engineer on a three-day mission? 325 00:27:27,525 --> 00:27:31,451 I considered myself a diplomat from the minute I set foot in that vessel. 326 00:27:34,932 --> 00:27:39,109 Well...there was that box of pebbles. 327 00:27:39,686 --> 00:27:40,345 Pebbles? 328 00:27:41,037 --> 00:27:47,120 Yeah, she had them on the boat. But it was no big deal. We just stuck our hands into these granules for a few minutes. 329 00:27:47,318 --> 00:27:50,996 It's a game they play to let you read each other's minds. 330 00:27:51,436 --> 00:27:54,776 They weren't even real! They were holographic, just like everything else in the room. 331 00:27:55,108 --> 00:27:56,160 Doctor? 332 00:27:56,349 --> 00:28:00,410 Without a sample of these telepathic granules it would be impossible to make a determination 333 00:28:00,572 --> 00:28:03,126 but they could have served as the transferal medium. 334 00:28:03,774 --> 00:28:05,995 One of the first things a diplomat learns is not to stick his fingers where they don't belong. 335 00:28:10,369 --> 00:28:11,149 Captain... 336 00:28:13,132 --> 00:28:20,917 If we're going to safely remove this life-form from Commander Tucker we'll have to find the Xyrillians. 337 00:28:21,367 --> 00:28:24,169 Why don't you and malcolm see what you can do about locating their ship? 338 00:28:24,422 --> 00:28:25,053 Yes, sir. 339 00:28:25,353 --> 00:28:27,243 Is trip well enough to return to his duties? 340 00:28:27,497 --> 00:28:29,272 What? Are you kidding? I'm fine. 341 00:28:29,641 --> 00:28:34,294 You'll probably feel a bit nauseated in the mornings so get sufficient rest and exercise 342 00:28:34,404 --> 00:28:40,406 and see me at least once a day. That nipple may not be the only surprise your body has in store for you. 343 00:28:43,604 --> 00:28:51,860 You think we could keep this between the four of us? At least for the time being? 344 00:28:53,522 --> 00:28:54,657 You got it. 345 00:29:15,766 --> 00:29:17,262 Dillard! 346 00:29:17,354 --> 00:29:18,123 Sir? 347 00:29:18,340 --> 00:29:19,342 Look at this lift. 348 00:29:21,836 --> 00:29:22,473 Sir? 349 00:29:22,776 --> 00:29:26,833 It's an accident waiting to happen! This safety bar's a meter off the floor. 350 00:29:27,385 --> 00:29:29,141 What use would it be for a small person? 351 00:29:29,585 --> 00:29:31,008 A small person? 352 00:29:31,326 --> 00:29:35,524 A short alien, a child. This thing's a deathtrap! Look at this handrail. 353 00:29:35,792 --> 00:29:47,175 Put your hands here while this is going up or down...It'll take your fingers right off. 354 00:29:47,742 --> 00:29:50,201 Why would someone put their hands there, sir? 355 00:29:56,958 --> 00:29:59,012 Oh...Never mind. 356 00:30:00,556 --> 00:30:02,224 Captain's starlog, supplemental: 357 00:30:02,933 --> 00:30:07,885 we've spent eight days looking for the Xyrillian ship but so far, we've had no luck. 358 00:30:23,804 --> 00:30:24,709 Sorry I'm late. 359 00:30:25,150 --> 00:30:26,965 No problem.

Doctor? 362 00:30:34,032 --> 00:30:34,725 Not a word. 363 00:30:35,565 --> 00:30:39,539 I knew it. She probably let it slip the minute she left Sickbay. 364 00:30:40,426 --> 00:30:43,012 But sub-Commander T'Pol promised to keep your pregnancy a secret. 365 00:30:43,653 --> 00:30:46,299 Where I'm from, vulcans aren't known for keeping promises. 366 00:30:47,159 --> 00:30:48,490 What makes you think she's told anyone? 367 00:30:49,678 --> 00:30:52,839 All you have to do is see the way they whisper...Talk behind my back. 368 00:30:53,694 --> 00:30:58,282 You know what happened this morning? Ensign Hart pulled out my chair for me. 369 00:30:59,124 --> 00:31:03,649 I'm telling you it was T'Pol and you can be sure it was intentional. What's that? 370 00:31:03,998 --> 00:31:08,354 Chicken tetrazzini. Did you cut yourself? 371 00:31:09,598 --> 00:31:18,395 I wish. I don't want to ruin your appetites, but...Take a look at this. 372 00:31:21,897 --> 00:31:27,321 Just how many of these am I going to grow? And while we're on the subject are they going to go away afterward? 373 00:31:27,573 --> 00:31:30,578 One would think. Then again, I have no experience with this species. 374 00:31:33,967 --> 00:31:34,830 Great. 375 00:31:37,328 --> 00:31:40,829 You know...It's been over a week, Trip. 376 00:31:42,028 --> 00:31:47,059 We have to start considering the possibility that we're not going to find the Xyrillians. 377 00:31:47,282 --> 00:31:53,432 What's that supposed to mean? Are you saying I'm going to deliver this baby? 378 00:31:53,898 --> 00:31:56,325 I believe he's saying a good deal more than that. 379 00:31:56,488 --> 00:32:00,904 Once the child is born it may well rely on you, in some way, to care for it. 380 00:32:01,308 --> 00:32:05,795 I'm the chief engineer. I spent years earning that position. 381 00:32:07,106 --> 00:32:09,454 I never had any intention of becoming a working mother. 382 00:32:11,801 --> 00:32:18,552 You know, the Doctor was saying that the gestation period will only last another five weeks--six at the most. 383 00:32:18,795 --> 00:32:24,872 You should expect to begin experiencing some unusual symptoms- 384 00:32:25,171 --> 00:32:27,936 -hormonal changes mostly--mood swings, heightened emotions. 385 00:32:28,757 --> 00:32:33,826 I suggest you stick with the civilian clothes. Seems to help hide the...Bulge. 386 00:32:34,465 --> 00:32:38,526 How many how much bigger is this thing going to get? I'm already the laughingstock of the ship. 387 00:32:41,551 --> 00:32:42,903 I would love some more of this. 388 00:32:43,039 --> 00:32:44,081 Yes, sir. 389 00:32:47,825 --> 00:32:50,273 I'd like you to start seeing the Doctor every eight hours. 390 00:32:51,700 --> 00:32:57,162 As your delivery date gets closer he should be able to start 391 00:32:57,259 --> 00:33:00,460 figuring out what your postnatal responsibilities might be. 392 00:33:02,013 --> 00:33:03,819 'postnatal responsibilities'? 393 00:33:04,598 --> 00:33:06,788 You may very well be putting those nipples to work before you know it. 394 00:33:14,447 --> 00:33:16,364 There's a bright side to all of this. 395 00:33:16,617 --> 00:33:18,235 Yeah? What's that? 396 00:33:19,486 --> 00:33:26,168 As far as we know this is the first inter-species pregnancy involving a...Human. 397 00:33:30,486 --> 00:33:31,181 Got something. 398 00:33:31,995 --> 00:33:33,152 Looks like their signature. 399 00:33:33,562 --> 00:33:38,929 Coordinates: 0-7-8 mark six. Three million kilometers. Change our heading to intercept. Bridge to Archer. 400 00:33:39,273 --> 00:33:40,437 go ahead. 401 00:33:42,780 --> 00:33:44,726 We may have found the Xyrillian ship, sir. 402 00:33:46,148 --> 00:33:47,347 Thank you. 403 00:33:47,484 --> 00:33:48,267 On our way. 404 00:33:57,291 --> 00:33:58,232 What have you got? 405 00:33:58,637 --> 00:34:01,728 We're approaching the coordinates. I've analyzed the stealth telemetry. 406 00:34:01,833 --> 00:34:02,659 I believe it's them. 407 00:34:03,818 --> 00:34:06,968 Drop down to impulse. Hoshi, try to get an image. 408 00:34:11,125 --> 00:34:12,638 doesn't look very stealthy to me. 409 00:34:13,247 --> 00:34:13,994 Go tighter. 410 00:34:18,987 --> 00:34:21,778 If the Starship profiles the vulcans gave us are correct.... 411 00:34:21,924 --> 00:34:26,846 They're correct, Lieutenant. That's a Klingon battle cruiser. 412 00:34:31,810 --> 00:34:32,113 Where the hell are the Xyrillians? 413 00:34:34,567 --> 00:34:36,843 It appears your repairs didn't last very long. 414 00:34:37,425 --> 00:34:41,183 If I'm correct they're hiding in the Klingons' plasma wake. 415 00:34:41,553 --> 00:34:42,109 Hoshi? 416 00:34:43,338 --> 00:34:45,766 The translation program should be in pretty good shape, sir. 417 00:34:46,277 --> 00:34:49,595 Sir, with all due respect do we really think this is a wise idea? 418 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:54,892 If we're going to speak to the Xyrillians we can't do it without the Klingons knowing about it. 419 00:34:56,323 --> 00:34:57,522 Open a channel. 420 00:34:59,555 --> 00:35:02,126 This is Captain Archer of the Starship Enterprise. 421 00:35:02,675 --> 00:35:06,617 We respectfully would like to ask for your assistance with a little problem... 422 00:35:06,961 --> 00:35:08,120 Sir, they're charging weapons. 423 00:35:08,266 --> 00:35:10,496 Polarize the hull plating. Grab hold of something. 424 00:35:10,780 --> 00:35:15,611 And another one. 425 00:35:17,371 --> 00:35:18,689 Why are they attacking us? 426 00:35:18,938 --> 00:35:21,695 They're not. If they wanted to destroy Enterprise they would have done it. 427 00:35:22,010 --> 00:35:25,490 So, I guess that's their version of a warning shot across our bow. 428 00:35:25,651 --> 00:35:27,979 I don't recommend being the recipient of another warning like that, sir. 429 00:35:28,185 --> 00:35:29,627 Should I lay in a new course, Captain? 430 00:35:29,745 --> 00:35:33,801 No, stay where you are. Hail them again. 431 00:35:35,055 --> 00:35:36,647 Sir, look at their starboard nacelle. 432 00:35:36,950 --> 00:35:40,322 The power's fluctuating just like ours did when the Xyrillians were riding in our wake. 433 00:35:40,959 --> 00:35:41,915 They're responding. 434 00:35:44,162 --> 00:35:47,597 What gives you the right to approach a Klingon warship? 435 00:35:47,799 --> 00:35:53,203 Please accept our apology. But--I need to ask you a question. 436 00:35:53,642 --> 00:35:54,776 And what would that be? 437 00:35:55,811 --> 00:35:58,759 Have you been experiencing any unusual malfunctions? 438 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:03,148 Problems with your gravity plating, propulsion, environmental controls? 439 00:36:03,482 --> 00:36:06,163 You've been monitoring our systems. For how long? 440 00:36:06,473 --> 00:36:11,085 We haven't. I promise you. The same things happened to us a few days ago. 441 00:36:11,723 --> 00:36:16,285 Your problems are being caused by a small stealth vessel that's been riding in your wake. 442 00:36:16,761 --> 00:36:20,286 They're using your plasma exhaust to fuel their warp coils. 443 00:36:20,442 --> 00:36:21,744 Find this vessel. 444 00:36:22,133 --> 00:36:27,882 Wait a minute, wait a minute. They're harmless. We need them, alive. Just give me a chance to explain. 445 00:36:28,101 --> 00:36:29,151 Find them! 446 00:36:36,032 --> 00:36:37,434 There are 36 aboard. 447 00:36:37,692 --> 00:36:40,069 Bring their Captain to me and execute the others. 448 00:36:40,432 --> 00:36:42,609 Didn't you hear what I said? I need them alive. 449 00:36:42,947 --> 00:36:46,933 What you need is to turn your puny ship around and leave. 450 00:36:47,328 --> 00:36:51,226 These aliens violated our security and disrupted our systems. 451 00:36:51,590 --> 00:36:54,740 Both are considered acts of war against the empire. 452 00:36:55,283 --> 00:37:01,623 I assure you that any damage they've done was unintentional. They're simply trying to get home. 453 00:37:01,779 --> 00:37:06,893 They won't get home, but I'm more than willing to hasten their journey to sto'vo'kor. 454 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:08,067 Sto'vo... 455 00:37:08,572 --> 00:37:09,478 The afterlife. 456 00:37:11,567 --> 00:37:15,660 You really don't want to hurt these people. They're actually very kind. 457 00:37:16,353 --> 00:37:18,953 They've just had some bad luck with their engines. 458 00:37:19,231 --> 00:37:21,557 When we confronted them they complied with all our requests. 459 00:37:21,730 --> 00:37:23,496 You're wasting my time! 460 00:37:26,288 --> 00:37:30,501 Less than one month ago Captain Archer stood in the high council chamber in kronos. 461 00:37:31,183 --> 00:37:33,778 The chancellor himself called him a man of honor--a brother. 462 00:37:35,540 --> 00:37:39,813 Enterprise is the ship that found Klaang and returned him to the empire. 463 00:37:39,948 --> 00:37:42,630 Without Klaang your houses would be at war with each other. 464 00:37:43,237 --> 00:37:48,259 Jonathan Archer is the man who carried out that rescue. You are in his debt. 465 00:37:50,121 --> 00:37:54,993 You would be demonstrating both honor and wisdom to grant his request. 466 00:37:58,849 --> 00:38:04,443 I'm the one who repaired their warp reactor--or at least I thought I did. 467 00:38:04,565 --> 00:38:08,713 I spent three days on their ship. They have some amazing technology. 468 00:38:09,420 --> 00:38:13,274 If you don't kill them I'm sure they'd share it with you teach you how to use it. 469 00:38:13,452 --> 00:38:15,900 What kind of technology? 470 00:38:16,011 --> 00:38:19,336 Well, for one they've got some incredible holography. 471 00:38:19,684 --> 00:38:24,884 I don't know how advanced Klingon holograms are but these are like nothing I ever saw before. 472 00:38:25,097 --> 00:38:28,918 Press a few buttons and you'll be standing on a hillside overlooking Kronos. 473 00:38:29,051 --> 00:38:36,045 It's unbelievable. Couldn't hurt to take a look...Unless the decompression cycle frightens you. 474 00:38:36,191 --> 00:38:39,975 I am frightened by nothing, p'tok. 475 00:38:40,188 --> 00:38:45,261 If you agree to enter their vessel I'd appreciate it if you'd take my chief engineer with you. 476 00:38:45,914 --> 00:38:49,802 He talks too much. I'll bring a security team. 477 00:38:50,284 --> 00:38:54,589 He was there for three days. They trust him. It'll make things a lot easier. 478 00:38:55,049 --> 00:38:59,051 If their technology amuses me, I may spare their lives. 479 00:38:59,319 --> 00:39:02,550 I don't need your engineer to help me make that decision. 480 00:39:02,783 --> 00:39:12,777 There's another reason. Commander Tucker has some...unfinished business with the Xyrillians. 481 00:39:12,915 --> 00:39:15,763 I am not interested in your engineer's 'business.' 482 00:39:16,924 --> 00:39:18,948 There's a pregnancy involved. 483 00:39:19,166 --> 00:39:24,948 I thought you said you were there to fix their warp reactor not to impregnate one of their females. 484 00:39:25,459 --> 00:39:28,322 This should be a lesson to you. Forget it happened. 485 00:39:28,580 --> 00:39:31,747 I'm afraid that's not going to be so easy. 486 00:39:32,065 --> 00:39:35,825 Show him. 487 00:39:42,531 --> 00:39:46,501 (all laughing) 488 00:39:55,101 --> 00:40:04,070 Captain vorok has agreed to consider releasing your ship in exchange for one or two of your holographic simulators. 489 00:40:04,186 --> 00:40:07,202 It would be a good idea to cooperate. 490 00:40:08,531 --> 00:40:11,759 This is a topographical survey of our capital. 491 00:40:13,326 --> 00:40:16,766 I'd be pleased to give you a demonstration. 492 00:40:25,293 --> 00:40:30,615 The reactor worked fine for six days then went off-line again. How did you find us? 493 00:40:31,673 --> 00:40:36,513 It wasn't easy, but we were very, um...motivated. 494 00:40:37,602 --> 00:40:38,800 I don't understand. 495 00:40:41,101 --> 00:40:44,528 Tucker raises shirt. She gasps. 496 00:40:48,230 --> 00:40:53,702 I had no idea this could happen with another species. If I'd known... 497 00:40:53,874 --> 00:41:00,303 No need to apologize. But I would be real appreciative if you could get this out of me, assuming it's safe. 498 00:41:10,435 --> 00:41:19,116 It's still early enough to transfer the embryo to another host. She looks very healthy. 499 00:41:21,814 --> 00:41:22,894 It's a girl, huh? 500 00:41:23,289 --> 00:41:24,605 Mm-hmm. 501 00:41:25,165 --> 00:41:30,335 I can see my house from here. Can this technology be adapted to our power matrix? 502 00:41:31,266 --> 00:41:34,507 I'm sure we can make the appropriate modifications. 503 00:41:39,811 --> 00:41:43,675 As soon as the installation is complete the Xyrillians will be free to go. 504 00:41:44,019 --> 00:41:49,234 I appreciate your cooperation. I hope the next time we meet, we can be of some help to you. 505 00:41:51,984 --> 00:41:56,226 Listen to me very carefully. Our debt is repaid. 506 00:41:56,377 --> 00:42:05,487 We have no interest in 'meeting' you again and if we do, I promise you'll regret it. 507 00:42:07,980 --> 00:42:12,067 The only thing worse than spending three hours in a decompression chamber 508 00:42:12,244 --> 00:42:14,334 with a bunch of Klingons is doing it twice in one day. 509 00:42:14,871 --> 00:42:17,420 I smelled things in there I hope I never smell again. 510 00:42:17,977 --> 00:42:21,710 Trena'l told me that at full impulse they can probably get home in less than a month. 511 00:42:22,489 --> 00:42:23,525 No more hitchhiking? 512 00:42:30,061 --> 00:42:37,745 That business about the Klingon chancellor calling me a brother...was that true? 513 00:42:38,298 --> 00:42:43,118 Klingons are known to exaggerate. I saw nothing wrong with doing the same. 514 00:42:48,837 --> 00:42:51,104 Your appetite seems to be back to normal. 515 00:42:52,773 --> 00:42:54,473 Just eating for one again. 516 00:42:56,845 --> 00:42:58,978 I've run a check through the Starfleet database. 517 00:42:59,307 --> 00:43:03,975 You might be pleased to know that this is the first recorded incident of a human male becoming pregnant. 518 00:43:06,851 --> 00:43:09,623 Just how I always wanted to get into the history books.
