I think everything that needs ta be said's been said about our latest fiasco, so all I'm gonna say is while I don't appreciate bein' under the affect of the Nanomites or that the whole thing happened in the first place, I think it's pretty safe ta say violence breeds more violence, and it might be in our best interests to just move on with our lives. We're all still here, and things coulda been a lot worse.

I get wantin' revenge, I really do - not on this, maybe, but on other stuff - but it's a lot better in theory then in practice.

[Private to Martha]

I know you've probably got your hands full with people either makin' threats or comin' down ta make sure no one's makin' good on those threats, but if ya need an extra hand with security or anything while Rex is in there? Lemme know.

[Private to Capa]

Told ya it was broken. [It being the telescope. He's also just teasing you.]

What happened to the sun, where you're from, if you don't mind me askin'?

[Private to Kirk]

You need any help fixin' anything else, or did we get all that under control?

What do you mean? It was a worldwide endeavor. I just helped create the bomb...so I really didn't know who was running the show specifically.

Everyone just... pulled together and decided ta get to work on it?

I mean, guess I'm not that shocked since it was the fate of the world hangin' in the balance or whatever, but back where I'm from, everyone kinda just expected Starfleet ta get the job done when we were attacked. It wasn't exactly a totally united Earth effort ta get the Xindi ta back off.

We don't have Starfleet.

So we had to do what we could.

Sounds kinda nice.

Why? Do you not like being called on?

Of course not, it's just... kinda nice ta think of everyone bandin' together ta stop somethin' from happening, you know?

At least until they start another war....

Maybe the sun almost dyin'll be enough ta keep people calm for a while.

Let's just hope so.
