Excalibur encounters a short-range ship harboring two fugitive agents for an alien security agency- one with red tenacles on her head- who are sure that "the truth is out there," and are convinced that aliens from Earth are plotting against their planet. They are pursued by a cigarette-smoking nemesis from their own agency. Gideon orders accurate information sent to the surface of their planet,
overruling objections that it could contaminate its culture (in the manner forbidden by Star Trek's Prime Directive) with the words,
"Probably. Screw 'em!"
