TREK NOTES:
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") (However T'Pol had earlier told Reed that Klingons don't use escape pods; it would be considered an act of cowardice to abandon ship. [ENT "Sleeping Targs"] )
