• Sub-Commander T'Pol : The Earth cargo ship: "Fortunate". Y-class freighter. Maximum speed warp 1.8. Crew complement 23.

  Ensign Travis Mayweather : Not counting newborn babies.

  Captain Jonathan Archer : Ensign?

  Ensign Travis Mayweather : I grew up on a J-class. A little smaller, but the same basic design. And one thing I can tell you is that at warp 1.8, you got a lotta time on your hands between ports. That's how my parents wound up with me.

  Sub-Commander T'Pol : Do you have any helpful information on this vessel beyond its... recreational activities?

• Ensign Travis Mayweather : Never thought I'd see a Y-class running from any ship I was on. When I was growing up on the Horizon, anything that happened on board, you handled yourself. If someone on the crew got into a fight, you just worked it out. You took care of your own. If Starfleet suddenly showed up and told my father what he could and couldn't do on his own ship...

  Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : Things are changing. Ryan's gonna have to figure that out.

  Ensign Travis Mayweather : Maybe he already has, and just doesn't like it.

• [Ryan is having a look at Enterprise's warp five engine] 

  Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III : Once they get installed in the next generation of freighters, they'll change a whole lot of things.

  Ensign Travis Mayweather : Even with a warp three engine you'd be able to cut a five-year cargo run down to six months.

  First Officer Matthew Ryan : Our warp 1.8 works just fine for us. Any faster, and there'd be no time to enjoy the trip.
