 Yes, I realize what they're up to. If they send anything toward us, it might seem a projectile or a bomb. So they come close, let out a lifeboat, and go away again. Figured we can send a boat or a man to make contact without risking our whole ship, too. Captain, that means... that means they think pretty much as we do. Yes, I'm glad that finally occurred to you. Mr. Dort, by law of space command, I'm not allowed to leave my ship except to jettison. Mr. Dort, this is not an order. No, sir? Would you care to go out and look the thing over, whatever it is?
