ARCHER: No. I need to keep it alive for now, until I can verify what it's told us. Find some way to knock that thing out.
Down in Engineering, Tucker is working on the cloaking device, which is connected via long cables to the Warp Reactor. Tucker: (to T'Pol) You forget something? Biggs! Get the Commander a radiation meter! You don't want to end up like me, do you? I've absorbed enough delta rays to guarantee my grandchildren glow in the dark.
Tucker: They say for every year you spend next to one of these things, you lose a decade off your life expectancy. Which means I'll probably be dead by the end of the week.
TUCKER: Several times, as I recall. So, how many years is it until your Pon farr comes around again? (A strange noise starts up.) Where the hell's that coming from? (An energy pulse goes along a cable to the cloak.) Pull the matrix converters! (It goes bang and throws him to the floor.)
REED: There are dozens of EPS feeds on this deck, and the only one that overloads is the one connected to the cloaking device.
TUCKER: The power surge disabled other systems. Internal sensors are down, we've lost grav-plating on G deck.
