Ruh: Huwwow there.
Ruh: I know you think I think aww humans look alike, but even I can teww you are in the wrong colour uniform for my section.

Notes

The chap with the red eyes is Lieutenant Commander Ruh, the chief science officer of the USS Mumbai. As well as co-ordinating the ship’s somewhat limited research programme, he has overall responsibility for the processing of sensor data and its analysis by the ship’s library computer. (Unlike Spock, he does not double as first officer.)

Wheel says ‘stealth’ instead of ‘cloak’ because cloaking devices are not known to the Federation until stardate 1709.1 (’Balance of Terror‘).
