[Shran is torturing Sovla by lowering his emotional suppression]

Vulcan Ambassador Soval:
Let me out of here!

Commander Shran:
I can't. I'm sorry. Not yet.

Vulcan Ambassador Soval:
[roaring] I'll tear the antennae from your skull!

Commander Shran:
If this interrogation continues, your suppression system could be permanently damaged. Tell me what I want to know!

Vulcan Ambassador Soval:
Aren't you enjoying this, Commander? Have you imagined having me in this chair many times?

Commander Shran:
That's not far from the truth. But after our rather lengthy peace talks, I came to trust you.

Vulcan Ambassador Soval:
Then trust me now!

Commander Shran:
You would never betray your people!

Vulcan Ambassador Soval:
I'm trying to save them!

Commander Shran:
Where is your fleet?

Vulcan Ambassador Soval:
Do you know the story of Nirak?

Commander Shran:
What?

Vulcan Ambassador Soval:
He was a soldier who lived a long time ago. He was standing watch over the gates of the city of Gol and he saw a cloud on the horizon moving toward him. He thought it was a sandstorm, so he told no one. It was an army. They destroyed the city, but they let Nirak live. His name now means "fool" in our language, just as yours will in Andorian!
