Magical Mystery Pod's basement. Reed and Trip futz some more and find what I think looks like a pile of dusty gold bricks. The ship shakes as a spiny lobster fires on them. Oh, wait, that's not my Normandy-Brittany class notes -- that's a new kind of Suliban ship. Cool.

Bridge. Quantum orders May-The-Refugee to return fire.

Shuttle Bay. Trip and Reed get out of the Infinite Corridor, try to comm the Bridge, and get attacked by falling Suliban. You know, when it comes right down to it, they're probably only slightly less painful than falling anvils. Reed fires at both of them, but only hits one. The other one runs up the stairs to the control room in order to push some buttons and fire at Reed. Malcolm Powder falls off the stairs as a result.

Bridge. Hoshi reports that someone is trying to open Launch Bay Two, and she can't prevent it. Since Quantum can't get hold of Trip -- notice that he doesn't even bother to contact Malcolm? -- he orders a security team to check it out.

Shuttle Bay. Reed continues his firefight with the remaining Suliban.

Bridge. Enteprise is in a firefight with the Spiny Suliban Ship. Quantum wants to grapple T'Pol. That is, he wants deploy the grapple on the Suliban ship in order to find out why they wanted the MMP. Yes, because all Fuchsia-Suited Suliban encounters have been so informative and non-injury-causing, haven't they? The Spiny Suliban Ship retreats and transports its two infiltrators off Enterprise just as Trip wakes up. How conveeeenient. Malcolm dashes up to the TOS-reminiscent control panel in the shuttle bay. In outer space, the Spiny Suliban Ship decloaks. Quantum does something with his brow that I just can't even bring myself to describe anymore. Suffice it to say, if there's a scene with Quantum on this show, he's Eternally Furrowing.

Quantum tells us that they've contacted a Vulcan ship called Valkyrie. And if that's not the real name, I don't want to know, because I like mine better, so don't email me. Anyway, the Vulcans have promised to meet them and ferry the MMP back to Earth for further dissection. Quantum hopes they don't run into the Suliban again before they reach the meeting point. When is he going to learn that that kind of talk just invites Fate to knock on his air-lock and ask if he wants to buy some brushes?
