Tagrim: We were in danger. Our ship is less durable than yours. We would've been destroyed by the storm.
ARCHER: They just happened to find Enterprise in the middle of a class 5 neutronic storm? Where three members of their own species just happened to be taking refuge?
RENTH: They're officers of the Takret Militia. They've been pursuing us for weeks. We thought we could evade them by hiding aboard your ship.
Renth: We used to be members of the militia, in the lower ranks, but after a year we realised that the commanding officers were corrupt. They seize alien vessels without provocation. They murder the crews, take anything of value.
Tagrim: Captain, I apologize for the difficult position that we've put you in, but I know these men, even if they found us, I doubt they'd simply leave. They've captured ships far less impressive than Enterprise.
