[Captain Sopek has asked for T'Pol, in order to take her back to Vulcan]

Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III:
She's not here either. She and the Captain were on their way to the capital city when they were kidnapped.

Captain Sopek:
How convenient.

Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III:
I'm telling you, they were kidnapped.

Captain Sopek:
How do you know this?

Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III:
Maybe the ransom demand we just received gave us a clue! They threatened to kill 'em both if we didn't give 'em what they want.

Captain Sopek:
It would be irrational to kill the hostages. They would lose their negotiating position.

Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III:
Maybe we're not dealing with the most rational people down there, did you consider that?
