point.
They were too far gone.
Is that your medical opinion, Captain?
Phlox made that determination.
Our specialists have examined the data you sent back.
It's far from certain that the neurological damage was irreversible.
There was nothing we could do for them.
T'Pol was exposed to the trellium.
She recovered.
I couldn't help them!
There's no need to get emotional, Captain.
You spent several hours in the ship's auxiliary control room.
In that time, did you try to access the internal sensors,
or download the computer database?
No.
So in effect, we don't know bY what really happened aboard the Seleya.
What the hell does that mean?
Because of this oversight, we'll never have a complete picture of the events that led to the ship's destruction.
I just told you exactly what led to the ship's destruction.
Captain.
I'm not going to sit here and be accused of murdering those people.
No one is accusing you of anything, Captain.
Maybe that crew would still be alive if you'd been a little more helpful.
I beg your pardon?
You did everything you could to sabotage our mission.
I got more help from the Andorians than I ever got from the High Command...
That's enough, Captain.
This planet would be a cloud of dust right now if we'd listened to you.
That's enough!
- How can you be taking his side?
- I am not taking anyone's side.
You were out of line.
They don't lift a finger to help us and now I have to justify myself to that son of a bitch?
The debriefing's on hold-- indefinitely.
I want you to take some time off to clear your head.
With all due respect, Admiral, I don't need a vacation.
That's an order, Captain!
Uh, Lieutenant.
Um, if you wouldn't mind.
Uh... ah.
Not exactly traveling light, are you?
Thank you.
Why leave the, uh, comforts of home when you can take it all with you, hm?
Okay.
I trust you'll be taking the proper precautions on the surface.
What do you mean?
Oh, I'm surprised you haven't heard.
An Andorian and two Rigelians were attacked.
Attacked? Why?
Apparently, the Xindi incident has caused a degree of xenophobia.
It's hard to believe in this day and age.
I'm told the Vulcans are staying behind the walls of their compound.
Well, I'm not going to let a few isolated incidents disrupt my vacation plans, hmm?
I lived on Earth for many years before coming aboard Enterprise.
I don't think this is the same planet you remember, Doctor.
People are looking for someone to blame and...
they don't care who it is.
I appreciate your concern, but I'll be fine. Would you?
Mind if I ask what you're doing here?
You know better than to go climbing without a partner.
About that volcano we saw on the way down-- Mount Tar'ana?
Tar'hana.
It still active?
There are frequent eruptions.
We can schedule a tour of the crater if you're interested.
Oh...
Volcanoes, ancient ruins, fire plains...
I'm not sure where to start.
So, this is where you grew up.
It's not like I imagined.
Meaning?
Well, it... it's beautiful.
- Vulcans appreciate beauty.
- Well, I had no doubt about that.
You always were a snazzy dresser.
Commander Tucker, I suggest...
You didn't tell me you were bringing a guest.
Mother, you're home.
Obviously.
It's agreeable to see you.
You appear well.
I'm Charles Tucker.
Pleased to meet you, ma'am.
Why is he here?
Commander Tucker is my colleague...
He wanted to visit Vulcan.
This is the first time you've broght a colleague home with you.
You both must be very tired after your journey.
The guest room is on the south end of the house.
It's not yet midday. Why aren't you at the Science Academy?
I'm no longer an instructor there.I wrote you a letter.
Didn't Starfleet transmit it to your ship?
We had communication difficulties in the Expanse.
I don't know why you're surprised.This was planned years ago.
There's more to life than one's profession.
Perhaps you'll learn that one day.
It seems that I'm not the only one who knew you were coming.
You
