An apt, if crude, metaphor, mister Tucker. The Sphere-Builders will certainly seek swift retribution for our hand in the Xindi schism.

We did what we had to do, Trip. No more, no less. If we hadn’t acted when we did, the Xindi would have swarmed over the entire Federation.

It’s Starfleet, sir. They’re attempting to engage in talks with the Xindi… To negotiate a ceasefire.

What the hell do they think they’re doing? Whoever they send is going to be torn apart. Helm, set a course. We have to pull them out of there!

Affirmative, Captain. We have a positive ID on the USS Shikoku. We’ve also got two Xindi vessels on short-range sensors.

Get us closer, Helm, but take it slow, thrusters only. We don’t wanna spook ‘em.

Well, alright then. Good work, crew, but our job’s not done yet. Much as I hate to admit it, it’s about time we go through the proper channels on this one.

We don’t have much of a choice, Trip. Whether we agree with it or not, our actions have had an effect on this timeline. We need to take responsibility for that. Helm, set a course for Starbase 82.
