FIRST PREFECT R'SOL: They're being taken to a Giliac prison camp where they will cause no harm. 
CAPT. BRANSON: What is wrong having the same birthday on the same day? 
R'Sol puts the paper down. 
FIRST PREFECT R'SOL: Being giliac means to be born under the astrological sign of Giliac, which means Commander Ivanova and Lieutenant Commander Clarkson are dangerous and must be kept in a small prison camp. 
CAPT. BRANSON: You can't hold my officers without reason and that's not a reason! 
One of the guards points their gun at him. 
FIRST PREFECT R'SOL You, Lieutenant Mason, and Doctor Carlson can return to your ship.

CAPT. BRANSON'S (voice over): Captain's Log Supplemental, After seventy two hours, Commander Ivanova and Commander Clarkson are still missing, and I'm quickly losing patience with the Regol authorities. They deny us a chance to explain ourselves and the reason of why its not our way of charging people for crimes against the people of our world
INT-U.S.S. ENTERPRISE MAIN BRIDGE
CAPT. BRANSON: Anything?
LT. MASON: Nothing sir I've not picked up their bio-signs nor their communicators.
LTJG. CARLSON: This is dumb they arrested them for nothing.
LT. T'LAR (raises an eyebrow): It is illogical for us to lose hope.
CAPT. BRANSON: I know T'Lar but it makes me mad.
LT. SMITH: Captain we're being hailed by the surface.
CAPT. BRANSON: Its about time on screen, Prefect we need to talk about this right now cause what you're doing isn't the way to start an alliance between our two peoples.
FIRST PREFECT R'SOL (viewer): Captain your crew will be subjected to a full dental exam
CAPT. BRANSON: What?
Lieutenant Mason reports.
LT. MASON: Captain two Regol warships are coming up aft bearing 2-3-4 mark 5-5-6.
CAPT. BRANSON: Prefect if it will help confirm our innocence, I'll consider it. But first I want to know where my people are being held, and I want to talk to them immediately. 
FIRST PREFECT R'SOL (viewer): Communications with inmates aren't allowed
Captain Branson walks in front of the ops and helm stations.
CAPT. BRANSON: If you want my co-operation, Prefect, you're going to have to do better than that. 
FIRST PREFECT R'SOL (viewer): Perhaps you've misunderstood me. Let me clarify our position. Your vessel is being impounded. You and your crew are under arrest. Prepare to be boarded

ZHASA: Sorry.
KYLE: What about food??
ZHASA (sighs): Er, well, I found close to fifty good citizens in this quaint little community, but not a grocer among them. 
KYLE (disappointed): I'll take that as a no.
ZHASA: We need to find away to get out of here.
KYLE: Right.
ZHASA: Any luck with that?
KYLE: No, all I ran into was solid wall.
ZHASA (sighs): Me too. As far as I can see, the only way to the surface is that chute in the main chamber. 
KYLE: But how can we without getting fried by the forcefield you saw what happened to that guy.
She gets out a metal ribbing.
ZHASA: I thought if we could get our hands on some loose wiring, you might be able to use it to rig a device that would short out the forcefield long enough for us to get into the tube. 
KYLE: If we decouple it we could turn it into a EM weapon to stab the field and short it out.
Kyle starts getting to work on the metal pipe.
EXT-SPACE
The Enterprise is at impulse.

CAPT. BRANSON: Chris these people are a nightmarish Doctor.
DR. CARLSON: Commodore these people are preforming dangerous C-sections on babies just because of this.
COMM. PIKE (monitor): John I know how you feel if it was Spock or Bones I wouldn't hesitate to go after them but we're at a crossroads right now with the Klingons increasing patrols along the border, and with the Romulans being a bigger threat then they were when we first encountered them we need the Enterprise on alert
CAPT. BRANSON: What about Commanders Ivanova and Clarkson.
COMM. PIKE (monitor): I'll speak to Ambassador Sarek about a way to free them without causing a interstellar incident, you have till 1430 hours to find them before we are forced to recall the Enterprise
CAPT. BRANSON (nods): Aye, sir.
COMM. PIKE (monitor): Pike out
Transmission ends as the officers look at each other now.
CAPT. BRANSON: What can you tell us T'Lar?
LT. T'LAR: So far their history is a bit strange.
CAPT. BRANSON: In what way?
LT. T'LAR: Their entire history focuses on stars that shine in the sky and if the child is born on the wrong star it is considered dangerous and taken from the mother and father.
LT. MASON: I agree with T'Lar on that one sir we've got to find them and get them out of wherever they're at.
CAPT. BRANSON: Agreed we'll find them.
LTCMDR. WILLIAMS: And how are we going to do that?
CAPT. BRANSON: We trace the vessels ion trail, review our sensor logs of ships entering and leaving Regol space during the time we were in orbit. If anybody has our people that's where we'll go.
They leave the briefing room.
