haven't seen us up here yet," Lieutenant Reed said, also staring at the screen.
    He seemed as fascinated by the planet as Archer was, although his fascination was couched in statements like that one instead of overt enthusiasm. T'Pol seemed to handle Reed's restraint a lot better than Archer's clear excitement.
    "However," Reed said, "every bandwidth I check I find nothing mentioning any ship in orbit or referring to a threat from above."
    "Societies of this level often do not look to their sky for visitors," T'Pol said. "It is not logical to look when you have no expectation of finding anything."
    "Doesn't that assume that they think they're the center of the universe?" Trip asked from underneath the console. "I mean that's not a universal constant, is it? I remember reading about some Earth tribe from a couple hundred years ago that had no word for 'I.' "
    "That's right," Hoshi said. "Their language was one of the most fascinating discoveries of its day."
    "How can you have conversation if you have no word for 'I'?" Reed asked.
    "It's unbelievably difficult," Hoshi said. "Even trying to converse about where you're standing becomes next to impossible. The anthropologists who studied these guys-"
    "I'm sure that's fascinating and may even be relevant," Archer said, "but don't you have enough of a linguistic puzzle without explaining an ancient Earth one?"
    Hoshi grinned at him from her console. "That's no longer a puzzle, Captain. It's easier to explain something I understand than something I haven't yet figured out."
    "That's all right," Archer said, finishing his stew and setting the plate beside the chair. Porthos didn't even wake up. "I don't buy T'Pol's argument anyway. Humans spent a lot of time searching the skies back before the Vulcans arrived."
    "You searched for bombs from your enemies," T'Pol said. "And only in low orbits. We are above even that level at the moment. The Fazi would have no reason to see us, other than by chance."
    "That doesn't seem quite right to me," Reed said. "After all, they have the ability to go into space. Why would they assume that no one else does?"
    "Well, no one else on their planet does," Trip said, taking a different side in the argument.
    Archer smiled. Predictably, Trip's vacillation distracted T'Pol.
    "I thought you believed that my argument was incorrect," she said.
    "Never said that." Trip's hand appeared in the aisle and groped for another tool, not finding it. "The captain said that."
    "I didn't say it was incorrect," Archer said, suppressing a grin. "I said I didn't buy it."
    "Well, I'm beginning to buy it," Hoshi said. "This society is more structured than anything I could have ever imagined developing. In fact I have no idea why it did, but that's for later research."
    "Okay, I missed the connection," Archer said. "What does being structured have to do with not seeing us?"
    Beside him, Porthos grunted and rolled over. He licked his chops, but his eyes were still closed.
    "Because," Hoshi said, bending down to hand Trip the tool he'd been groping for, "for them to look for us, it would have to have been planned, carefully, and in great detail."
    "Now you lost me," Archer said.
    "Yeah, me too," Trip said, coming out from under the board and closing up the panel. "How can you plan to look for something you don't know exists?"
    "Exactly," Hoshi said as she turned from her panel to face Archer and the rest of the bridge crew. "Every sentence of their language has an exact structure. And the structure dictates meaning of the sentence, sometimes even more than the words. Two words simply inverted can change the entire meaning of a phrase."
    "Got that much," Archer said, "but I'm not following why that would mean they wouldn't see us up here."
    "There is only one word for anything they do," Hoshi said, "unlike most Earth languages, which often have two or three or more words for any given act."
    Archer motioned for her to get on with her idea.
    "Every word the Fazi use has an exact
