I’m… not sure, Captain. I’m picking up debris from at least two-dozen vessels. All Xindi.

The skirmish reports only came in an hour ago. No way all this happened that fast. No, something else did this. Something really damn strong.

We’ve got movement, Captain! Reading power spikes from a few surviving Xindi vessels. They’re in bad shape, sir, but they’re readying weapons.

With all due respect, Captain Archer, if the Enterprise hadn’t shown up, we wouldn’t be in this mess in the first place.

The Xindi assault would have come eventually, Admiral. Can you honestly say you’d have been ready for it?

We’ve faced down a damn sight worse than the Xindi, son. The Cardassians, the Dominion, the Borg… The Federation’s outlasted all of it.

But you haven’t faced the Sphere-Builders, Admiral. Trust me, they’re far more dangerous than anything you’ve dealt with before.

Let me crystal clear, Archer. After that stunt you pulled, I should have thrown you in the brig. The only reason I haven’t is because your poster is on my grandson’s wall.

The Enterprise has more experience with the Xindi than any other vessel in the galaxy. If you’d just listen to us…

That was true, Captain. Two hundred years ago. The face of warfare has changed since then. The Xindi have changed since then.

Listen, Archer. You’ve got a legacy to uphold. People on Earth look at your statues and you know what they see? Hope. Hope that the Federation still stands for the same ideals it did when it was founded.

Don’t ruin that. Hang back and let Starfleet do its job. End transmission.

Captain, I’m getting something here. It looks like Xindi loyalists are making a move on rebels in Kertoria. Sir, there are Federation diplomats in that system.

Captain Archer. It’s an honor to meet you, sir. I had heard the rumors, of course, but to see the man himself. Well… I hope you’ll forgive my enthusiasm.

It’s… hard to get used to, being a celebrity, but that’s not what I’m here to talk about. I need you to take a look at these warp signatures. Do they seem familiar?

I should hope so, I only spent about a decade looking at the development readouts. These are from one of our Sovereign class ships.

Captain, I’ve got something here. I started running a cross-analysis of the warp signature we’ve been following.

I thought that, maybe, if I cross-referenced it against Starfleet records, we might get a clue as to its origin.

Good thinking. What did you find?

You’re not going to like it, sir. The ship we’ve been following… It’s Starfleet. A Sovereign class vessel, to be specific.

“Sovereign” class? Never heard of it… But I can’t believe that Starfleet would do something like this. They wouldn’t.

I don’t know what’s going on here, but I’m damn sure going to find out. Helm, set a course for Starbase 14. I need to have a chat with an Admiral.

They had nothing left in the tank. What were they thinking?

Dialogue
Did you see the way those Xindi moved, Captain? Not consistent at all with Xindi battle doctrine. They were erratic, sloppy. I dunno, sir, but it felt like they were… scared.

I’ve never seen anything that can scare the Xindi.

I’d bet it’s probably whatever did this to them in the first place. Hoshi, run a sweep for warp signatures.

Aye, Captain… I’ve got something. It’s faint, but it’s there.

Let’s get on it, Helm. Whatever took out the Xindi can’t be far off.

And our plan is to get all up in its rear view, huh? Yeah, there’s no way this can end badly.
