[Archer, "Reed" and "Mayweather" are reviewing scans in the command center]

Captain Jonathan Archer:
I've heard from Starfleet. They're working through diplomatic channels to contact the Klingons; but it might not be necessary. This spectrograph identifies a Klingon alloy.

Alien inhabiting Lt. Reed:
That's the signature of standard hull plating.

Captain Jonathan Archer:
[indicates one of the planet's rings] I found it... here.

Alien inhabiting Ens. Mayweather:
You've detected a debris cloud in orbit.

Captain Jonathan Archer:
It's what's left of a Klingon shuttlecraft. Their response to an infected landing party: the commander killed his own shuttle crew.

Alien inhabiting Lt. Reed:
They didn't even plead for mercy.

[Archer gives him a quizzical look]

Alien inhabiting Lt. Reed:
I mean, they wouldn't, would they? Being Klingon.

Alien inhabiting Ens. Mayweather:
Captain, does knowing what the Klingons did help us at all?

Captain Jonathan Archer:
At least we know we don't have to bother asking them if they have a cure.

Alien inhabiting Ens. Mayweather:
But if they had developed one, you'd ask them for it, right?

Captain Jonathan Archer:
On bended knee.
