Shields up, red alert.

All hands to battle stations.

Uh, Captain, the unidentified vessel is scanning us, but it's a very aggressive scan.

Yeah, I feel pretty invaded right now.

Captain, if I may, sometimes when we put up shields, we shut people out, and maybe those people

are people who could teach us something about ourselves. I don't disagree with that, Rita, but right now we have to err on the side of caution. Crick, do a full scan of their ship as well, just as aggressive as theirs. Uh, okay, I'm trying, Captain. I feel really uncomfortable scanning them like this, though. Just push it a little bit hard. You've got to have confidence when you're scanning.

Sometimes you go up to another ship.

You just have to like, you know, be like, man, I'm scanning you. I just want to give them like a friendly scan.

You know, like, I want to shake their scan.

You do not want to get into the friend zone here.

You've got to scan aggressively.

I know, I know this is where we're tight on time, so can I just take over and can I do the scan? I know it's not my place.

Yeah, Ensign Lackey, relieve Commander Watson. I'm sorry.

Captain, if I may. You may. Sometimes when we scan without first truly getting to know another ship,

we miss out on the most important parts of them. To be fair, we're getting scanned pretty hard first.

Yeah, if I'm a captain, uh, tit for tat.

Yeah, we're just scanning and kind.

This is the problem.

This is the problem.

And you know what?

I am done.

Captain, if you need me, I will be anywhere but here.
