LTCMDR. IVANOVA (Laughs): Easy there Jack he probably has a reason. 
LT. MASON: For what forcing a Federation vessel on a very important mission to alter course to provide assistance to whoever is in that pod? 
DR. CARLSON: I've got my medical kit ready to handle any issues whoever is onboard the pod has. 
LTJG. MASON: Now, don't confuse bravery with stupidity. Most of these jokers are too rich or too old to know any better. 
LTCMDR. IVANOVA (rolls her eyes): I'd like to hear you say that to this guy's face, Jack. 
LTJG. MASON: I intend to Commander let's go set phasers to stun but hold for my order to fire.
