   | Ortegas : | "You want me to pilot the shuttle?" |  | Pike : | "Come on, Erica. Haven't you been bugging me for months about joining a landing party?" |  | Ortegas : | "Yes, I have. Why have I been doing that?" |  |

   | Spock : | "They do not appear to notice the shuttle." |  | Uhura : | "Because they look like space garbage. Old zombie movie trick." |  | Chin-Riley : | "Zombie movie?" |  | Uhura : | "Yeah, dress up like you're dead so the zombies don't notice you. You've never seen one?" |  | Spock : | "A zombie, no. A movie, yes. But I will add some to my research." |  |  | using a shuttle decorated with space wreckage to go by unnoticed |  |

   | Ortegas : | "So, are you just gonna leave us in here?" |  | Scotty : | "Oh, sorry. Where are my manners, eh? Montgomery Scott, at your service. Lieutenant junior grade." |  | Pike : | "Captain Pike of the USS Enterprise. This is Lieutenant Noonien-Singh, Dr. M'Benga, Lieutenant Ortegas, and Lieutenant Kirk." |  | Scotty : | "That's a lot of lieutenants." |  | Pike : | "There'll be a quiz." |  |
