those mines were much larger--
more primitive.
I did say it was a remote possibility.
If this is a Romulan ship,
why would they be stirring up
trouble so far from home?
They have been known to act aggressively
against species they see as a threat.
We've never threatened them.
As far as I know, neither have the Andorians or Tellarites.
Maybe they're afraid of something else.
The species in this region have a history
of not getting along.
This conference could've been the first step in changing that.
You believe they fear an alliance?
The conference has been postponed indefinitely.
It doesn't sound like there's going to be
an alliance any time soon.
Anything from Trip?
We're still too far away
to detect a com signal.
Well, keep me updated.
Another access tube?! I'm starting to wonder
if this ship even has a bridge. Yeah.
Your air's down to 26 minutes, Malcolm!
Perhaps it's on one of the lower levels.
There's no rule that says
the bridge has to be at the top of the ship.
You see these data conduits? Uh-huh.
Chances are they converge on the bridge.
So I understand our first officer's
no longer married.
Yeah?
I was wondering what your intentions were.
Well, who are you, her father? [chuckling] No.
Simply curious.
Malcolm, Malcolm, we've got something.
[grunts]
What is it?
A maneuvering thruster.
Perhaps they'll be kind enough to give us the specs.
It's chemically fueled;
liquid hydrogen and oxygen.
We could refill our tanks.
Can I help you?
I was hoping we could talk.
I doubt you're aware of this.
How could you be?
Andorian women are...
permitted one final conquest
before their wedding.
I've never had relations
with a member of your species.
I was hoping you'd indulge me.
Go back to your quarters.
You won't even consider it?
[footsteps]
What is it?
There's a problem with one of the liquid fuel tanks.
Another malfunction? No.
The starboard transfer valve
has been opened... manually.
Activate internal sensors.
How you holding up?
A little light-headed.
That's nothing new.
I should've known better.
About what?
Getting involved with a fellow officer.
There's nothing going on between us anymore, if you're interested.
That's not why I asked.
You said she had an "awfully nice bum."
This is true.
Pure oxygen.
Be my guest.
Ahhh...
Thanks.
Hold!
Magnify that image.
Humans.
If they make their way to the bridge...
Are the inertial stabilizers off-line?
They are.
Evasive maneuvers.
[grunting]
[gasping, groaning]
Magnetize your boots!
We mustn't be...
What is this?!
I want to know why my ship was attacked.
And then you're going to answer
for your crimes against my people.
What'd you find?
We've discovered the function of the emitters on their hull.
They're holographic projectors.
It's a camouflage system; they can use it
to mimic the appearance of almost any ship.
Malcolm analyzed the Andorian debris.
He said that ship was destroyed by Tellarite weapons.
Their disruptor utilizes tri-phasic emitters.
They can simulate different kinds of weapons.
The one thing they couldn't mask
is their power signature.
That's why they... [com beeps]
Security to Captain Archer. Go ahead.
There's weapons-fire on G-Deck outside the Tellarites' quarters.
On my way.
Get the MACOs down there.
Seal off G-Deck.
[grunts]
We know your government's behind
the disappearance of our freighters.
We had nothing to do with that! You may have been able
to convince Archer, but I'm not so gullible.
I don't know a lot about Starfleet weapons,
but I believe this setting will bore right
through that thick hide of yours.
The truth... now!
[snorts]
Go.
Stay out of this, pinkskin.
Shran, listen to me.
The ship that attacked you wasn't Tellarite.
I was there!
I can prove it was someone else.
You're both being set up. Your ship was attacked
because someone didn't want this conference to go forward.
Who?
I'm asking you...
one captain to another...
look at the
