Linda Park: Ensign Hoshi Sato

Quotes 

• [Sato is questioning the wisdom of the Vulcans' choice of location when making first contact with the Humans] 

  Ensign Hoshi Sato : An alien species makes contact with the United States. It could have made a lot of other countries nervous.

  Sub-Commander T'Pol : What's your point?

  Ensign Hoshi Sato : It seems to me that we're gonna run into similar problems: we get invited to dinner, and before you know it, we're accused of taking sides in a war.

  Sub-Commander T'Pol : Contacting new worlds always involves unexpected risks. The High Command has very specific protocols regarding planetary conflicts. Eventually, Captain Archer will have to... create some directives of his own.
