Enterprise2001

Lieutenant Malcolm Reed:
Congratulations, sir. Three months ago, we entered the Expanse with no idea who these Xindi were, or how to find them. And now we're about to destroy one of their weapons facilities.

Captain Jonathan Archer:
I thought we were here to try and stop a war, not start one.

Lieutenant Malcolm Reed:
They struck first.

Captain Jonathan Archer:
Because they were told we're going to attack *them*. They think they're acting in self-defense. By destroying this complex, we'll be confirming their worst fears about Humanity.

Lieutenant Malcolm Reed:
Let's not forget the seven million people who were killed.
