In Engineering, Quantum orders Reed to put together an armed boarding party, because they are going to ambush the Stingy Ship they docked with. Reed doesn't get it. Quantum whirls on Reed, saying, "We need their warp coil. They won't give it to us, so we're going to TAKE it!" Reed stands there, wondering if his entire lip gloss supply was destroyed in the firefight. Quantum starts to leave. "Captain --" Reed starts. "Get your men together!" Quantum barks.

Some of the Xindi of the Round Table consult with a metallic-voiced alien, who seems to be having trouble with her antenna as she keeps fading in and out of view. She's pretty much the Borg Queen with a slightly less grey complexion. Or Odo. Or that thing at the end of "The Chase" who looked suspiciously like Odo. Whatever. It turns out she's the one who gave Snake Eyes the capability to time-travel to Detroit to concoct a bio-weapon. She argues that she did it to hold the Xindi of the Round Table together. I'm SO not interested in Xindi politics -- get ON with it! Borgish Queen reminds us that the three Snake Eyes that built the weapon were never found. Degra wants to know if it's true that her species built the spheres. Borgish Queen gets all affronted at this line of questioning and tells them their task is to destroy the humans. After ordering them not to summon her again without the entire Round Table present, Borgish Queen orbs out. Degra and the other Mr. Man argue whether they should trust Quantum over her. Bleh -- bored.
