TREK TRIVIA:
T'Pol doubted there was a distress beacon on the Somraw. "Klingons don't call for help." (ENT "Sleeping Targs")  However, Arik Soong used an escape pod (equipped with an automated distress beacon) to escape from the Bird-of-Prey his Augment “children” had captured in 2154. (ENT “The Augments”)

PUN:   "shout loud"?
