[Enterprise has received a lead on a Xindi from a freighter captain]

Lieutenant Malcolm Reed:
With all due respect, sir, we should approach with caution. The freighter captain was of... questionable character.

Captain Jonathan Archer:
Where are we, Malcolm?

Lieutenant Malcolm Reed:
Sir?

Captain Jonathan Archer:
This room, what did it use to be?

Lieutenant Malcolm Reed:
A s-storage bay, sir. Conduit housings, I believe.

Captain Jonathan Archer:
But it got retrofitted. Starfleet went to a lot of trouble to turn it into our new command center. Why is that, Malcolm?

Lieutenant Malcolm Reed:
Because of our mission, sir.

Captain Jonathan Archer:
To find the Xindi, right?

Lieutenant Malcolm Reed:
Right.

Captain Jonathan Archer:
So this state-of-the-art equipment was put in here to help us gather all the pieces of the puzzle. Figure out who's trying to destroy Earth.

Lieutenant Malcolm Reed:
Right.

Captain Jonathan Archer:
Six weeks. We've been in this Expanse for six weeks. What data have we gathered? What pieces of the puzzle have we started to put together? Not a single one. We don't have the luxury of being safe or cautious anymore. And if the only lead we can find comes from a freighter captain of questionable character, then that's good enough for me. Understood?
