A group has gathered to investigate, and Quantum comes rushing to the now-conscious Hoshi's side. Hoshi doesn't remember what the abductors said, but she knows it wasn't English. An officious Starfleet security officer named Commander Collins is on the case. Aside from Hoshi and Phlox's DNA, all they've found are ionization traces, but Collins pooh-poohs Reed's suggestion that a transporter might be involved. Collins tries to suggest that because Phlox was involved in an "altercation" the last time he was on Earth, this kidnapping might be related to alien hate crimes. Reed scoffs. Collins excuses herself pissily. Quantum orders Reed to investigate the transporter possibility. I'm really taken with how nice and long and smooth Hoshi's hair is. "Good hair is one of the signs that you're a spy," Gytha tells me.
