{173}{229}Looks like we're going|about warp 4.5.
{234}{308}Human children have such|fertile imaginations.
{313}{353}Sub-commander.
{358}{410}These were sent by my nephew's|fourth-grade class.
{415}{491}The crew may like to see how excited|folks at home are about our mission.
{496}{590}I'm going to put this one up in Sickbay.|Would you like one for your quarters?
{595}{682}This rendering is crude,|yet surprisingly accurate.
{687}{735}Some of these kids|are pretty talented.
{740}{785}Which one do you want?
{790}{843}This one's nice.
{848}{944}Or maybe you want First Contact.
{979}{1014}Or...
{1046}{1097}...how about this one?
{1204}{1253}We're dropping out of warp.
{1328}{1397}For those of you who aren't near a|window, you might wanna find one.
{1402}{1476}There's something pretty amazing|of starboard.
{1539}{1624}Senior staff, please report|to the bridge.
{1644}{1716}I've checked the Vulcan database, sir.|No previous sightings.
{1722}{1807}- That means we discovered it.|- "Archer's Comet."
{1840}{1915}- Take us closer, ensign.|- Aye, sir.
{2232}{2360}"It's been a long road|Gettin' from there to here"
{2419}{2501}"It's been a long time"
{2506}{2598}"But my time is finally near"
{2603}{2705}"And I will see my dream|Come alive at last"
{2710}{2780}"I will touch the sky"
{2785}{2876}"And they're not gonna|Hold me down no more"
{2881}{2953}"No, they're not gonna change my mind"
{2958}{3071}"'Cause I've got faith of the heart"
{3076}{3146}"I'm going where my heart will take me"
{3151}{3261}"I've got faith to believe"
{3266}{3328}"I can do anything"
{3333}{3441}"I've got strength of the soul"
{3446}{3515}"And no one's gonna bend or break me"
{3520}{3648}"I can reach any star"
{3657}{3747}"I've got faith"
{3752}{3841}"I've got faith"
{3846}{3960}"Faith of the heart"
{4331}{4395}Ever seen anything like that in your|astronomy books?
{4400}{4477}Wow. That's one big snowball.
{4510}{4572}The diameter is 82.6 kilometres.
{4578}{4648}I always wanted to chase a comet.
{4653}{4712}Maybe we should spend a few days|following this one.
{4717}{4795}Vulcan and human scientists have|researched hundreds of comets.
{4800}{4858}They've proven to be little more than|rock and ice.
{4864}{4992}Except, this one's bigger than any|comet humans have ever seen.
{4997}{5061}That's gotta be worth a look.
{5066}{5117}- Stay with it, Travis.|- Aye, sir.
{6137}{6190}Milk, cold.
{6260}{6323}- Catching up on your reading?|- I came for tea.
{6328}{6370}Stay away from the|Zariphean blend,
{6375}{6437}unless you wanna stay up|for the next three days.
{6442}{6512}Caffeine has little effect|on Vulcan physiology.
{6517}{6579}Green tea, hot.
{6709}{6773}You want to join me?|I could use the company.
{6778}{6844}- I'm very tired.|- Tell me about it.
{6849}{6926}Put out about 100 fires in Engineering|this afternoon and missed dinner.
{6931}{6996}Then somebody told me chef made|a pecan pie,
{7001}{7039}and suddenly my life brightened.
{7044}{7112}It's been my favourite|since I was a kid.
{7149}{7204}- Care for a bite?|- No, thank you.
{7209}{7259}- It's delicious.|- It's mostly sugar.
{7270}{7338}What, Vulcans don't have|a sweet tooth?
{7396}{7487}It may not be good for the body,|but it sure is good for the soul.
{7635}{7689}I feel better already.
{7741}{7802}Must be a real page-turner.
{7892}{7955}You all right?
{7984}{8039}I'm fine, commander.
{8044}{8105}Good night.
{8128}{8178}Sweet dreams.
{8348}{8429}- Eisilium?|- It's an extremely rare mineral.
{8434}{8500}This comet appears to contain large|quantities of it.
{8505}{8543}I've never heard of eisilium.
{8548}{8595}Vulcan chemists have only obtained|small amounts.
{8601}{8667}They've never been able to study it|in detail.
{8672}{8705}This could be your chance.
{8710}{8754}Can we collect a sample|with the transporter?
{8760}{8852}Most of the eisilium deposits are at|least 20 metres beneath the crust.
{8857}{8948}- That's too deep to get a lock.|- We've got the portable drilling rig, sir.
{8953}{9044}The comet's certainly big enough|to land on. We could take a shuttlepod.
{9056}{9114}I'd advise setting down near|one of the two poles.
{9119}{9203}If you're out of direct sunlight,|the surface ice will be more stable.
{9219}{9288}- How long would you need?|- Shouldn't take more than four hours.
{9299}{9347}You up for a little comet-walk?
{9388}{9474}- By all means.|- Get started.
{9539}{9632}Captain, I'm detecting a vessel|closing on our position.
{9653}{9710}It's Vulcan.
{9732}{9779}The starship Ti'Mur.
{9784}{9839}Hail them.
{9890}{9955}This is Captain Jonathan Archer|of the starship Enterprise.
{9965}{10048}- I'm Captain Vanik.|- Pleased to meet you.
{10056}{10140}You're a long way from Earth, captain.|Are you lost?
{10174}{10258}Not at all. Just taking a look|at this comet.
{10269}{10390}Our sensors detected it two days ago.|We also decided to investigate.
{10410}{10449}Really?
{10466}{10518}My science officer tells me|that Vulcans
{10524}{10559}aren't very interested in comets.
{10571}{10658}Actually, it's your interest in the|comet we're investigating.
{10698}{10803}We plan to send a drilling team to|the surface to collect core samples.
{10809}{10845}You're welcome to participate.
{10849}{10939}If you have no objection,|we'd like to remain here and observe.
{10967}{11029}Stay as long as you want.
{11111}{11165}T'Pol.
{11371}{11468}I'd love to know what they're really|doing here.
{11474}{11566}You don't find anything strange|about them suddenly showing up?
{11577}{11667}- Perhaps they're simply curious.|- Curious?
{11680}{11743}That doesn't sound very|Vulcan to me.
{11762}{11841}This isn't the first time we've caught|them lurking around.
{11846}{11914}Remember three weeks ago,|the planetary nebula?
{11919}{11982}That was nothing more|than a survey ship.
{11987}{12037}So why didn't they respond|to our hails?
{12043}{12111}Why'd they go to warp when we|headed toward them?
{12116}{12195}I'm starting to get the feeling they're|looking over our shoulder
{12200}{12289}- a little too often.|- That seems unlikely.
{12294}{12338}We'll see.
{12343}{12385}Fine.
{12390}{12484}If Vanik is the kind of guy|who likes to watch...
{12521}{12578}...let him.
{12894}{12945}I've never stood on a comet before.
{12951}{13037}- Has anyone?|- Good question.
{13042}{13099}I've only seen snow twice in my life.
{13105}{13162}Then it's only fitting that we|commemorate the occasion.
{13167}{13246}- You mean plant a flag?|- No, too predictable.
{13251}{13282}Snowball fight?
{13301}{13377}EV suits would take all the fun|out of that.
{13397}{13489}We'll just have to see how the spirit|moves us when we get there.
{14397}{14511}- Commander, you wanted to see me?|- Take a look at something, will you?
{14516}{14554}I've been running diagnostics
{14559}{14627}and I found some kind of power surge|in the transceiver array.
{14632}{14696}Looks like an encrypted transmission.
{14831}{14893}It came from the Vulcan ship.
{14898}{14943}Who was it sent to?
{15030}{15075}You're sure this was sent|to her quarters?
{15080}{15127}I wish I wasn't.
{15132}{15196}Did she say anything to you|about it?
{15201}{15304}Not a word. We had an agreement.
{15321}{15391}She promised not to speak to the|Vulcans without telling me.
{15414}{15490}Looks like she's having some trouble|keeping her promises.
{15506}{15562}Should I have Hoshi decrypt it?
{15653}{15711}Tell her it's top priority.
{15922}{15983}Whenever you're ready, captain.
{15988}{16080}You sure you want me here for this?|I've got a lot of work to do.
{16085}{16175}Stay put, commander.|This is important.
{16283}{16339}Start the recording.
{16385}{16452}To the students of Ms Malvin's|fourth-grade class
{16457}{16606}at the Worley Elementary School|in Kenmare, County Kerry, Ireland.
{16611}{16706}This is Captain Archer aboard|the starship Enterprise.
{16711}{16846}On behalf of the entire crew, I'd like|to thank you for your transmission.
{16851}{16951}We all got a real kick out of your|drawings and letters.
{16956}{17011}You asked a lot of interesting|questions.
{17016}{17084}I wish we had time to answer all|of them, but if we did that,
{17089}{17138}we wouldn't get much|exploring done.
{17144}{17251}So I've selected a few, and hopefully|our answers will give you
{17256}{17346}a better idea of what life|is like out here.
{17374}{17485}Liam Brennan asks,|"What do you eat?"
{17490}{17570}For the most part,|the same things you eat at home.
{17575}{17672}Our chef can make anything from|a peanut butter and jelly sandwich,
{17676}{17759}to turkey with all the trimmings.
{17764}{17830}We have a|hydroponic greenhouse onboard
{17835}{17869}where we grow fruits|and vegetables,
{17874}{18010}and we can also replicate certain foods|with our protein resequencer.
{18052}{18140}Here's one from Geoff Miles.
{18162}{18208}"Is dating allowed on Enterprise?"
{18213}{18368}Well, it's not discouraged, but there|isn't a lot of privacy on a starship.
{18373}{18433}Most of our crew share quarters|with at least one other person,
{18438}{18569}so it wouldn't... exactly be practical.
{18586}{18693}But if two crewmembers decide|that they really like each other,
{18698}{18787}there are a lot of places they can go|to look at the stars.
{18812}{18924}Chloe O'Shannon wants to know,|"How do we talk to aliens?"
{18929}{19002}I think I'll give that one to my|communications officer,
{19007}{19069}Ensign Hoshi Sato.
{19097}{19167}Well, Chloe, that's a very|good question.
{19172}{19236}We use a device called|the universal translator.
{19241}{19307}It's like an alien dictionary|with hundreds of languages
{19312}{19417}programmed into it, and it can learn|new languages very quickly...
{19434}{19498}...but it doesn't always work,|and when that happens,
{19503}{19545}it's up to me to try to translate.
{19550}{19622}I'm sure I don't have to tell you it can|be really hard sometimes.
{19627}{19702}One wrong word can mean|the difference between saying:
{19707}{19775}"Take my hand" or "Take my life."
{19780}{19841}So far, I have managed|to do pretty well.
{19846}{19886}Thanks, Hoshi.
{19892}{19957}Here's one from Molly McCook.
{19979}{20045}"When you flush the toilet,|where does it go?"
{20058}{20133}That sounds like an engineering|question.
{20139}{20243}So we'll ask Commander Charles|Tucker, our chief engineer.
{20291}{20340}Trip.
{20345}{20403}Pause it, will you?
{20436}{20505}A poop question, sir?
{20510}{20574}Can't I talk about the warp reactor|or the transporter?
{20579}{20639}It's a perfectly valid question.
{20799}{20846}The first thing you've|gotta understand is
{20851}{20922}we recycle pretty much everything|on a starship.
{20927}{20993}That includes... waste.
{21008}{21072}And the first thing that happens|to the waste
{21077}{21216}is it gets processed through a machine|called a bio-matter resequencer.
{21221}{21291}Then it gets broken down into...
{21311}{21351}Hold on.
{21379}{21450}They're gonna think|I'm the sanitation engineer.
{21455}{21516}You're doing fine.
{21583}{21669}So the waste is broken down|into little molecules.
{21674}{21772}They get transformed into any number|of things we can use on the ship.
{21777}{21887}Cargo containers, insulation, boots.
{21917}{21966}You name it.
{22007}{22070}Very enlightening, commander.
{22120}{22233}Gabrielle Witty wants to know if germs|can live in space.
{22256}{22326}I believe I can answer that, captain.
{22351}{22456}Hello, children. I'm Dr Phlox,|the ship's physician.
{22461}{22534}I'm from a system called|Denobula Triaxa,
{22539}{22634}and I feel very honoured to be|part of this important mission.
{22639}{22683}Germs.
{22688}{22754}They may be tiny, but they are among|the most resilient organisms
{22759}{22826}known to medical science.|They can survive almost anywhere,
{22831}{22887}on your kitchen counter,|under your fingernail,
{22898}{22934}in the vacuum of space.
{22939}{23042}Over 200 million space-dwelling|microbes have been catalogued.
{23047}{23143}One of the most virulent species lives|inside grains of interstellar dust.
{23148}{23197}Polycocyx astris.
{23202}{23281}They can drift in a dormant state|for millions of years
{23286}{23365}and still cause a nasty cold.
{23372}{23511}I once discovered a peculiar colony|of spores on a hull of...
{23516}{23587}Thank you, doctor. Fascinating.
{23592}{23700}I think we've taken up enough|of Ms Malvin's classroom time.
{23705}{23812}By the way, we've included some|pictures of a comet we're studying.
{23817}{23857}We think it might be the biggest one
{23862}{23939}ever discovered by humans|or Vulcans.
{23944}{23999}That's what so exciting about being|on Enterprise.
{24004}{24077}You never know what you're|gonna find next.
{24118}{24163}We miss Earth.
{24168}{24274}But hearing from you makes us all feel|a little closer to home.
{24279}{24355}Captain Archer, out.
{24433}{24464}How'd it go?
{24586}{24665}The beauty of ice is that it records|everything like a blank page.
{24670}{24781}The farther down you drill,|the farther back in time you go.
{24815}{24871}- Lieutenant.|- Yes?
{24876}{24926}What do you think?
{25077}{25131}Hand me the plasma torch.
{25575}{25650}- Archer to Lieutenant Reed.|- Go ahead, sir.
{25655}{25722}- How are you doing, Malcolm?|- We're just about to set the charges.
{25728}{25761}I'm sure I don't need to remind you
{25766}{25829}- we're being observed.|- No, sir.
{25834}{25890}We want this to go as smoothly|as possible.
{25896}{25952}- Make a good impression.|- Right.
{25957}{26029}So tell me, who's the sculptor?
{26079}{26119}It won't be there for long, sir.
{26155}{26194}Archer out.
{26303}{26350}- Any luck?|- Sorry it took so long.
{26355}{26395}The code was pretty complex.
{26400}{26441}- What's it say?|- It's in Vulcan.
{26446}{26512}You'll have to run it through|the translation matrix.
{26517}{26609}- You didn't read it?|- I didn't feel it'd be right.
{26627}{26679}Thanks.
{27120}{27173}Come in.
{27198}{27283}Well, we decrypted the message.
{27288}{27331}And?
{27336}{27456}It's not exactly what we expected.|It's a letter.
{27462}{27543}- What did it say?|- It's personal.
{27548}{27637}- What do you mean?|- Very personal.
{27653}{27717}You could order me to tell you,|but you wouldn't be happy if I did.
{27722}{27791}- Why the hell was it encrypted?|- That's what I wanna know.
{27796}{27854}Maybe Vulcans encrypt all their|personal letters.
{27859}{27946}All they had to do was send it through|regular channels, mark it personal,
{27951}{28029}and we'd have left it alone.|But no, they had to encrypt it,
{28034}{28076}force me to start snooping.
{28086}{28166}I feel like I got caught with my hand|in the cookie jar.
{28171}{28228}Let it go, Trip.
{28244}{28367}- Come on, it was an honest mistake.|- I can't let it go.
{28415}{28462}I gotta tell her.
{28467}{28562}- How's that gonna help?|- It's the right thing to do.
{28567}{28669}At least I'll be able to look her|in the eye without feeling guilty.
{28709}{28771}You're a good man.
{28839}{28913}You might wanna take a phase pistol|with you.
{28919}{28975}I might need one.
{29245}{29296}Got a minute?
{29327}{29373}In private?
{29378}{29432}Excuse us, crewman.
{29560}{29597}Did you ever...?
{29655}{29761}Did you ever do anything totally|by mistake that...
{29778}{29818}...you weren't very proud of?
{29850}{29901}No.
{29945}{30059}Did you ever come across something|that you thought was one thing,
{30064}{30162}so you reacted in a certain way,|but then it turned out
{30167}{30255}- to be something completely different?|- Your point, commander?
{30314}{30395}I found out about your message|from the Vulcan ship.
{30444}{30485}It was a personal matter.
{30491}{30542}Why wasn't it sent through normal|Starfleet channels?
{30547}{30619}That takes time.|The letter was important.
{30624}{30686}So they sent it in code?
{30700}{30798}Do you have any idea how suspicious|that looked?
{30820}{30876}You read my letter?
{30881}{30942}Believe me, I don't feel very good|about it.
{30956}{31039}I have more letters in my quarters.|Would you like to read those as well?
{31090}{31148}I'm trying to apologize here.
{31153}{31218}- Archer to T'Pol.|- Yes, captain.
{31223}{31283}Please report to my Ready Room.
{31327}{31415}- Has anyone else read the letter?|- No.
{31457}{31512}I'd appreciate it|if you wouldn't mention it.
{31525}{31572}I won't. I promise.
{31727}{31804}I thought I'd invite Captain Vanik|for a visit.
{31809}{31870}If he's so interested in how|we do things,
{31875}{31931}he might as well come see|for himself.
{31936}{32029}Once he realizes we're not gonna|blow up the galaxy,
{32034}{32086}maybe he'll leave us alone.
{32092}{32158}I'm sure he'll appreciate the gesture.
{32163}{32212}Dinner's a good way|to break the ice.
{32217}{32305}I was hoping you might give chef|some menu suggestions.
{32310}{32399}- Certainly.|- A little food, a little wine...
{32412}{32489}- Vulcans don't drink wine.|- You know what I mean.
{32494}{32580}Just help me make him go away.
{32682}{32773}- When did these symptoms begin?|- Two days ago.
{32778}{32817}Perhaps you slept|in an awkward position.
{32822}{32876}I haven't slept.
{32890}{32937}For two days?
{32942}{32992}Something on your mind?
{33026}{33093}It appears to be a tension headache.
{33112}{33200}You know, anything said between us|is strictly confidential.
{33205}{33284}Would you like to talk about|what's troubling you?
{33289}{33331}No.
{33337}{33411}I don't know if there's anyone on this|ship you'd feel comfortable talking to,
{33416}{33449}but if there is, it might feel good
{33454}{33519}to get whatever's bothering|you out in the open.
{33678}{33728}This is a simple analgesic.
{33733}{33823}I can give you something later to help|you sleep this evening, if you'd like.
{33859}{33909}Thank you, doctor.
{34835}{34897}The ears are a nice touch.
{34902}{34956}I thought so.
{34979}{35025}We should get out more often.
{35030}{35074}Don't get too comfortable.
{35079}{35152}This landscape is about to change.
{35194}{35249}- Reed to Enterprise.|- Go ahead.
{35254}{35329}- Charges are set.|- Stand by.
{35357}{35429}Inform the Vulcans we're about|to make a very loud noise.
{35435}{35470}Aye, sir.
{35503}{35555}- Archer to Reed.|- Yes, captain.
{35560}{35634}- Blast away.|- Understood.
{36138}{36178}Impressive.
{36222}{36291}I was hoping for a little|more symmetry.
{36296}{36344}I'll get the drill.
{36697}{36782}If I'm not mistaken,|you're flying a Surak-class ship.
{36787}{36840}You're not mistaken.
{36845}{36927}You can get her up to what,|6, 6.5?
{36932}{36963}Six-point-five.
{36968}{37021}I'd love to get a look inside|those nacelles.
{37026}{37099}Our warp systems are classified.
{37200}{37336}A few years back, I was a guest|aboard a Maymora-class ship.
{37341}{37415}The Yarahla. Captain Tok.|Do you know him?
{37420}{37470}- Not personally.|- Oh.
{37475}{37541}We made a run|to a dark-matter nebula.
{37546}{37604}I helped set up|the graviton telescope.
{37609}{37648}Most fun I've ever had|on a space walk.
{37653}{37699}Those Vulcan EV suits|are something else,
{37704}{37783}like you're flying around inside|your own little starship.
{37788}{37847}You're easily impressed.
{38047}{38110}Something wrong|with your Pok Tar?
{38115}{38147}No.
{38202}{38316}If it's not to your liking, I'm sure our|chef can prepare you something else.
{38322}{38382}I've already eaten.
{38401}{38448}Hope you saved room for dessert.
{38706}{38835}After dinner... I thought you might|like to take a look around.
{38840}{38960}Enterprise may not be Surak-class,|but she's quite a ship.
{38965}{39022}Perhaps another time.
{39059}{39128}- Tea?|- I only drink water.
{39184}{39220}You know...
{39234}{39337}...for people who claim to not be|explorers, you sure do get around.
{39342}{39409}I hope our presence here|is not proving inconvenient.
{39414}{39519}On the contrary. It's nice to know|no matter how big the universe is,
{39524}{39596}there's always a Vulcan ship nearby.
{39661}{39793}- So, captain, tell us about yourself.|- Excuse me?
{39799}{39876}On Earth, it's customary to exchange|personal information
{39881}{39926}with someone you've just met.
{39932}{40023}We have this peculiar habit|of actually talking during meals.
{40028}{40081}I've noticed.
{40106}{40165}What would you like to know?
{40170}{40229}I don't know. Where were you born?
{40234}{40335}How long have you been captain?|Any hobbies?
{40346}{40423}I've served in the Vulcan space|program for 76 years,
{40428}{40481}fifteen of those commanding|the Ti'Mur.
{40487}{40602}I believe this is Captain Vanik's first|visit aboard an Earth vessel.
{40622}{40741}We'd be happy to answer any|questions you might have.
{40746}{40865}I have none. Humans have never held|much interest for me.
{41015}{41048}Well...
{41066}{41150}...where did the time go?|Seems like you just got here.
{41160}{41208}I'm sure you're eager to get back|to your ship,
{41213}{41281}so I'll trouble you with just|one last question.
{41298}{41361}How long do you plan|on spying on us?
{41379}{41529}If we were spying, captain, you would|have never detected our presence.
{41535}{41645}Your inexperience and your arrogance|are your enemies, not us.
{41802}{41864}Please show Captain Vanik|to the launch bay.
{42164}{42221}What'd he say?
{42543}{42612}Captain, you should take|a look at this.
{43029}{43072}Archer to Lieutenant Reed.
{43077}{43130}- Go ahead, sir.|- How's it going?
{43135}{43217}We hit a layer of magnesite and|cracked a drill bit, but we've replaced it.
{43222}{43284}- You may wanna pick up the pace.|- Sir?
{43289}{43383}The comet's rotational axis shifted|when you set of those charges.
{43388}{43505}In about two hours, the shuttlepod|will be facing the star.
{43511}{43566}The temperature will shoot up|by a couple hundred degrees.
{43571}{43609}I want you out of there before then.
{43615}{43692}- We'll be done with time to spare, sir.|- Be sure you are.
{43697}{43734}Archer out.
{43886}{43928}Come in.
{43974}{44024}You decide to tell me|what Vanik said?
{44040}{44085}Please, sit down.
{44161}{44225}I've never seen your quarters before.
{44230}{44266}Cosy.
{44308}{44376}You know you're not supposed to|have an open flame on the ship.
{44381}{44432}I was given permission|from the captain.
{44437}{44472}They're for meditation.
{44528}{44591}So, what can I do for you?
{44606}{44710}Dr Phlox believes that it might help|if I was to discuss my problem
{44715}{44799}with someone I felt comfortable|confiding in.
{44804}{44865}You wanna talk to me?
{44929}{45042}Well, I'm not sure I'm gonna|be much help.
{45047}{45099}I mean, I've only been in three|relationships,
{45104}{45156}and they all went bust.
{45161}{45228}Are you sure you wouldn't rather|talk to Hoshi or Ensign Kimball?
{45233}{45311}- She's married.|- You were far from my first choice.
{45329}{45370}But speaking with someone else
{45376}{45435}would mean more people knowing|about my situation.
{45486}{45567}I'll do anything I can.|What's your problem?
{45572}{45635}- You read the letter.|- Yes.
{45640}{45724}Then you know that unless I leave|Enterprise immediately,
{45729}{45778}my wedding plans will be cancelled.
{45827}{45888}- Have you talked to...?|- Koss.
{45893}{45945}Have you talked to Koss|about all this?
{45950}{46011}We haven't spoken in many years.
{46016}{46091}Marriages on Vulcan are arranged|during childhood.
{46096}{46169}I've only met Koss four times.
{46182}{46243}How can you be in love with a guy|you've only met four times?
{46249}{46342}It's assumed that we'd eventually|develop an affection for one another.
{46383}{46457}So his parents send you|an ultimatum?
{46462}{46532}- He doesn't have a say?|- His parents planned the union.
{46537}{46595}It's their decision.
{46600}{46632}Boy.
{46647}{46722}Where I come from, arranged|marriages went out with slavery.
{46727}{46821}Are you going to give me advice|or criticize my people's tradition?
{46826}{46912}I'm still fuzzy on why they threatened|to call it off in the first place.
{46918}{46997}The ceremony was supposed|to take place next week.
{47002}{47046}When I decided to remain|on Enterprise,
{47051}{47093}I requested a postponement.
{47098}{47162}Koss' parents were insulted|that I would put off our plans
{47167}{47233}to serve on a human vessel.
{47255}{47295}Well, Vanik can take you home.
{47300}{47358}Why don't you go marry Koss,|then come back?
{47364}{47425}It's customary for a husband and wife|to reside together
{47430}{47483}for at least one Vulcan year.
{47488}{47545}- Maybe he can come to Enterprise.|- He's an architect.
{47550}{47637}It would be illogical for him to live|aboard a starship.
{47642}{47710}This whole thing sounds illogical.
{47715}{47768}Your advice, commander.
{47822}{47887}- What do you wanna do?|- That is irrelevant.
{47892}{47971}No, it's not. It's very relevant.
{47976}{48031}Do you wanna go back|and marry this guy,
{48036}{48106}spend a year with him,|ten years, 100 years?
{48111}{48151}Or do you wanna|stay on Enterprise?
{48157}{48259}- I have an obligation.|- You've got an obligation to yourself.
{48265}{48306}You've spent the last year|around humans.
{48312}{48390}One thing you should've learned is that|we're free to make our own decisions.
{48395}{48438}There's a lot to be said|for personal choice.
{48443}{48506}If you'd spent the last year on Vulcan,|you would've learned
{48511}{48588}that our commitment to tradition|outweighs personal choice.
{48597}{48643}I respect your customs.
{48648}{48715}But this marriage was arranged|when you were a kid.
{48720}{48770}A lot's happened since then.|People change.
{48776}{48835}- Vulcans don't.|- Really?
{48840}{48924}My obligation is to my culture,|my heritage.
{48929}{48998}It has to take precedence.
{49038}{49094}Sounds to me like you already|made up your mind.
{49136}{49179}Why the hell did you ask me here?
{49202}{49247}It was a mistake.
{49258}{49309}I apologize.
{49431}{49497}Did it ever occur to you that you|might've postponed the wedding
{49502}{49552}because subconsciously you wanted|to get out of it?
{49564}{49611}That would imply that my|subconscious mind
{49616}{49692}controls my decisions.|It doesn't.
{49730}{49787}Well, it happens to humans|all the time.
{49792}{49863}Maybe you're picking up some|of our bad habits.
{50411}{50441}Travis!
{50568}{50612}I'm okay.
{50689}{50753}- What?|- My knee.
{50774}{50822}You rest here.
{50827}{50904}- I'm all right.|- Okay.
{50909}{50946}Well, let's get you to the pod.
{50951}{51001}I'll come back for the gear|if there's time.
{51006}{51039}At least take the core sample.
{51044}{51106}We shouldn't go back to the ship|empty-handed.
{51394}{51441}Almost there.
{51446}{51571}- It might be faster without the suits.|- Yes, and a lot colder.
{52049}{52095}What's that?
{52990}{53056}I hope I never see snow again.
{54337}{54387}You all right?
{54433}{54474}We should have never ignited|the thrusters.
{54479}{54539}Well, it's not like we had a choice.
{54777}{54827}- Reed here.|- You two okay?
{54832}{54897}More or less.|How far did we drop?
{54903}{54987}About 18 metres. We'll get you out|of there. Just give us a few minutes.
{54992}{55044}We're not going anywhere.
{55054}{55111}Bring the grappler online.
{55116}{55159}The mouth of that chasm's|a little narrow.
{55165}{55219}I'll get you in close enough.
{55569}{55657}- Do you see them?|- Bring us in another 50 metres.
{55704}{55747}Two metres starboard.
{55821}{55852}A little more.
{55931}{56014}- The Vulcan ship's hailing us.|- Take a message. I'm busy.
{56029}{56098}Captain Vanik wants to know if we|require assistance.
{56104}{56176}Tell him we've got everything|under control.
{56208}{56293}There. Right there.|Synchronize to the rotation.
{56516}{56568}Almost got it.
{56836}{56870}One hit, one miss.
{56908}{56966}One will be fine. Reel them in.
{57207}{57282}The pod's hit an outcropping.|It's wedged in.
{57287}{57327}Take us a few metres to port.
{57333}{57396}We might be able|to pull them around it.
{57504}{57574}Those eisilium deposits are disrupting|the maglock. I'm losing them.
{57583}{57629}Ease them back down.
{57941}{58021}- They've fallen another nine metres.|- Let's try it again.
{58026}{58113}They're moving out of the sunlight.|The surface ice is recrystallizing.
{58118}{58173}In less than an hour, that chasm|will be sealed up again.
{58179}{58214}Then we'd better hurry.
{58219}{58267}There is another option.
{58273}{58335}- Captain Vanik.|- I'd rather leave him out of this.
{58340}{58427}His ship has a tractor beam that won't|be affected by the eisilium.
{58432}{58468}Reset the grappler.
{58590}{58663}Vanik offered to assist us.|There's no shame in accepting.
{58669}{58710}We can do this on our own.
{58715}{58773}I don't like him any more|than you do, captain.
{58778}{58853}But a tractor beam sounds like a pretty|good idea right now.
{58859}{59001}Vanik expects you to refuse his offer.|He sees humans as arrogant, prideful.
{59015}{59057}Why not prove him wrong?
{59071}{59178}You can save them, or you can|let your pride stand in the way.
{59188}{59229}You're human.
{59234}{59289}You're free to choose.
{59482}{59531}They've got us.
{59572}{59613}Go ahead, Enterprise.
{59618}{59684}This is Captain Vanik|of the Vulcan ship Ti'Mur.
{59689}{59780}Stand by to ignite your engines|and return to your ship.
{60101}{60171}I thought you might wanna take a look|at the data we collected.
{60176}{60237}You helped us bring it back.|It's the least we can do.
{60242}{60346}As your science oficer told you,|we have little interest in comets.
{60400}{60457}That tractor beam of yours|is quite something.
{60462}{60540}Any chance we could take a look|at the specifications?
{60546}{60598}That information is classified.
{60625}{60662}I thought it might be.
{60668}{60707}We'll be leaving within the hour.
{60712}{60765}Is there anything else|we can help you with?
{60812}{60856}You've done more than enough.
{60905}{60938}See you around.
{61083}{61143}You don't have much time.
{61181}{61220}I assume you're all packed.
{61266}{61348}Captain, with your permission,|I'd like to transmit a message
{61353}{61417}to the Ti'Mur, to send to Vulcan.
{61451}{61483}Go right ahead.
{61500}{61536}Thank you.
{61823}{61858}What was that all about?
{61889}{61934}It's personal.
