Since we needed their starcharts so we get a few maps and they get to put a spy on our ship . Admiral forrest says we should think of her more as a chaperere.

Today, we are about to cross a new threshold. For nearly a century weve waded ankle deep in the ocean of space. applause the warp five engine wouldnt be a reality without men like dr. Cochrane and henry archer who worked so hard to develop it. So its only fitting that henrys son, Jonathan Archer will command the first starship powered by that engine. applause rather than quoting dr.
