Eles mencionam isso. Ele é levantado nos níveis mais altos dos embaixadores, alguns episódios mais tarde, em ENT: Sombras de P'Jem quando o Vulcan High Comando usá-lo como uma desculpa para lembrar T'Pol:
SOVAL: The loss to the Vulcan people is incalculable. P'Jem was one of our most revered sanctuaries.
FORREST: Ambassador, we are very sorry for your loss, but with all due respect the High Command has to take some responsibility. You were using the monastery as a surveillance station.
SOVAL: We were observing a dangerous and aggressive neighbour. The Andorians wouldn't have found the station if your people hadn't interfered. They've been in space for six months and they've already destabilised an entire sector.
FORREST: I'm afraid I can't agree with that, Ambassador. This was a volatile situation long before Starfleet got involved. Perhaps if you'd been a little more open with us, this tragedy might have been avoided.
Quanto a por que eles colocam a estação de escuta sob o Mosteiro, a resposta é que era um local conveniente com uma desculpa legítima para visitas regulares do mundo exterior e < os vulcanos são maciçamente complacentes sobre sua capacidade de evitar a detecção.
