"Babel One"/"United"/"The Aenar" Line-by-Line

[Athena28]

PHLOX: Diagnostics will only tell us so much, I'm afraid.

 

[Orac]

T'Pol: When can we test it?

 

[Enterprise1981]

PHLOX: A day.

 

[Athena28]

TUCKER: I want to be the first one to try it out.

 

[Enterprise1981]

T'POL: You're not telepathic. It wouldn't be a true measure of the unit's effectiveness.

 

[Orac]

Trip: Well, at least we'll find out if it causes brain damage.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

T'POL: I'll test the unit.

 

[Enterprise1981]

TUCKER: You're the ranking officer. Too risky.

 

[Orac]

T'Pol: Considering what's at stake, the risk is acceptable.

 

[Enterprise1981]

TUCKER: We could at least wait until the Captain gets back.

 

[Athena28]

T'POL: Our goal should be to have the unit ready by the time he returns. That means conducting a full series of tests. The discussion's closed. We have a lot of work to do.

 

[Enterprise1981]

[Aenar city]

Under the ice is a beautiful city of elegant curved buildings rising up in a massive cavern. In a room with ice furniture, Shran is being tended on a bed covered with fur when the woman walks in.

LISSAN: Your wound is healing well. You'll be able to walk on your own in a few hours.

 

[Athena28]

SHRAN: My thanks.

 

[Enterprise1981]

The Aenar doctor leaves.

LISSAN: You're Captain Archer.

 

[Athena28]

ARCHER: You can read minds.

 

[Orac]

Lissan: We have a strict law here, Captain. No one may enter another's thoughts without permission. I know your name because the Andorian Chancellor contacted us.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

ARCHER: I need to speak with someone in authority.

 

[Athena28]

LISSAN: We assign our leaders as the need arises. For this occasion, I have been chosen as Speaker.

 

[ChristopherPike]

ARCHER: I take it you know why we're here.

 

[Gul Re'jal]

LISSAN: I know what the Andorians have told us. Someone's been attacking your ships, and you believe we're involved.
