"The Catwalk" Line-by-Line

Trip: I caught em throwing a barbeque next to a plasma manifold. Now, I understand we're explorers. We're supposed to keep an open mind about different cultures, but these guys are driving me crazy. They only need to sleep once a week, so they've kept us up the last two nights with their strange rituals. Chanting, walking in circles, they've practically taken over the whole compartment.
 
Archer: Don't forget they're the ones who warned us about the storm. We owe them. Be patient.
 
Trip: I'm trying. Looks like the matter injectors and the antimatter injectors are online.
 
[Hatch into the rest of the ship]

(Trip is in an EVA suit)

Phlox: Remember, the suit will protect you for only 22 minutes.
 
Archer helps Trip finish setting up his EVA suit

Archer: It'd be best not to take the scenic route.

Trip nods and exits the catwalk. He makes his way to Engineering where he sees equipment left out on the deck. Trip hides as he hears people approaching. Aliens, the same species as their guests walk through the upper level of engineering. The intruders come down to the lower level, Trip uses a nearby console to cause a noise distraction so he can leave engineering unnoticed. Trip dodges patrols in the corridors and manages to not be seen. He goes to a Port side crew quarters and looks out the window, he sees an alien ship docked with Enterprise. Trip uses a nearby monitor to access security feeds from the bridge.

Meanwhile, in the Ready Room, the Alien leader is looking through information on the ship and crew.

Captain: Archer and his crew must've taken refuge in a nearby system. They may intend to return. What's the status of the warp engines?
 
Captain: Make it a priority. (his Lieutenant leaves, and he returns to the ships logs)
 
Archer: (recording) ... 2152. We've responded to a distress call from a vessel in the...

Back in the catwalk, Phlox scans the alien guest as the rest of the crew watches.
