taken damage before.
It's designed to self-repair.
If our enemies find it...
That's the point of this project!
No prisoners to capture, no bodies to recover.
These Drone ships can never
be traced back to us.
This prototype's a modified warbird.
The Vulcans would identify it the moment
they inspected the propulsion matrix.
The Vulcans won't get anywhere near it.
Don't underestimate our distant brothers.
Bring your ship home.
I'll tell the Senate that your test
has been a success.
Otherwise, they'll make
someone pay for this failure.
And I promise you,
it won't be me.
Jolan true, Admiral.
[door chimes]
Come in.
Admiral Gardner just called.
He's sending every ship available, but at top speed,
it'll take weeks for most of them to get here.
What about Columbia?
She's stuck in dry dock. Engine trouble.
Did you get through to your people?
Minister T'Pau is dispatching 23 vessels.
That's all? The High Command has been disbanded.
Many of our ships no longer have full crew compliments.
T'Pau could have picked a better time
to clean house.
Andorian and Tellarite fleet deployments?
I'm thinking of asking them to join us.
Without more ships,
our center net's going to have a gaping hole.
The marauder could fly right through it,
and we'd never know.
Have you discussed this with Commander Shran?  Or Ambassador Gral?
Not yet.
Even if both sides were to agree,
which seems unlikely,
the deployments would have to be coordinated.
A command hierarchy established.
An Andorian captain might have a problem
taking orders from a Tellarite? Precisely.
There's one species
that's on friendly terms with both of them.
Humans.
Enterprise could serve as the command ship.
Relaying all orders.
The other ships would only have
to exchange communication codes.
It might work.
You don't sound too optimistic. These have four species
have never cooperated on a mutual endeavor.
As far as I know, no one's ever tried
to get them together before.
From what I've heard about these Romulans,
they mean business.
If they're behind these attacks,
we have to find some way to stop them, or next time,
they might come back
with 1,000 of those ships.
Some of these circuits are live,
but I don't know what they're for.
And I can't figure out what half this stuff is.
What about the other half?
Well, I think I've found an environmental system.
That'd make sense.
These consoles look like crew stations.
Here goes.
[rush of air]
Well, how about that.
In a few minutes,
we'll have heat and air.
Do you think it's possible that there's
no one else on board?
Why would a robot ship
have a bridge like this?
Well, it could be a prototype. Outfit an existing ship
with the latest in computer controls.
Well, that'd make things a whole lot easier for us.
How's that?
If this ship's run by computer,
what we need to do is find the "off" switch.
I'd rather cohabit with Klingon targs
than join forces with Tellarites.
Your personal mating preference
is no concern of mine.
If you're waiting for me to stop you,
don't worry, I won't.
You heard what he said.
And I heard what you said.
So now it's time
for both of you to listen to me.
Instead of insulting you
to make you feel at home,
and putting up with your arrogance
as a sign of my respect,
why don't the two of you try behaving
like humans for a change?
And you said
you wouldn't be insulting.
There's one thing humans seem to do
better than any species we've met.
When we're faced
with a common threat,
we put our differences aside
and try to cooperate.
Someone is determined
to start a war in this region.
I've shown you
how we can stop them.
But if you don't understand that,
feel free to strangle each other.
Just remember, that's exactly
what this marauder wants you to do.
We've gone back to warp. Just when it happened,
I got a power spike from one of these conduits.
Do you think warp control runs through here?
If this ship was originally built
