A bloody Quantum comes to on the floor somewhere. He looks out a glass window into yellow (yellow?!) water. Maybe the Aquamen need to get a sign made that says, "Welcome to our OOL. Notice there's no 'P' in it." He bangs on the glass. Dude, you're not supposed to do that! It gives them, like, headaches, or something. An Aquaman swims into view. Now he's gonna get it. Quantum wants to know what's going on. Aquaman pushes a button on his side of the window. Quantum collapses back into unconsciousness. See? Idiot.
Bridge. Reed reports that they've regained emergency power, and says they'll have phase cannons "in about an hour." Just like Lenscrafters. T'Pol orders him to do stuff. A signal comes in that an unarmed, one-man vessel is approaching. Reed reads one bio-sign. "Oh, just shoot it," the Evil Dr. Mathra suggests. T'Pol orders it brought in. Hoshi, her hair mussed and down, looks concerned.
Sh'bay. A security team trains guns on the pod as Reed and T'Pol crack it open. It's Quantum. Big surprise there.
Sickbay. Chaos. Wounded. Hawkeye cracks jokes and then cries. Wait, wrong show. Still, chaos and wounded, though. Phlox examines a now-conscious Quantum. Ignoring Phlox's diagnosis of his multiple bruises, Quantum growls, "How many have we lost?" Phlox hands over his e-pad: "Fourteen. Three are unaccounted for." Quantum orders him not to waste time on him. How passive-aggressive: "Don't waste time on meeee, I'll just sit over here in the corner and quietly bleed all over the place." Phlox nods, says it's good to see him again, and walks away. T'Pol holds out the damage report and says they'll have impulse in six hours. Quantum walks over to stare at three body bags on the floor. Dude, I didn't see that the first two times I watched. Nice gravitas. T'Pol continues with her report. Quantum wants his transport pod analyzed. They agree it's aquatic-made. Yup, you can tell that from the watermark on the hull. Sorry. T'Pol wonders why they released him. Quantum doesn't know, but thinks he got through to Degra. Quantum grabs at his ribs (I guess?) in pain, so T'Pol hands him a towel. I don't really know why he would need that on his ribs. It's really only to show Quantum the Vulcan's shaky hands. Quantum grasps her hand and asks if she's okay. "I'm fine," she trembles, and goes to help Reed.
