In the sh'pod, T'Pol commands her team to hold their position. There's back-and-forth as Reed freaks about the fact that they look as though they're about to bash into some sphere wall. T'Pol ignores him and orders them to continue on their course. The wall approaches. Uh-Oh Dead Stripe clutches at an overhang, bracing for impact. "T'Pol!" Reed shouts. That's "Sub-commander" to you, bitch! They pass harmlessly through the wall. May-Blustery-Day heaves a sigh. "Some kinda hologram?" Uh-Oh Dead Stripe asks. "You coulda warned us ahead of time!" Reed complains. Yes, she could have, but it wouldn't have been as much fun. They proceed and get close enough to suit up.
In recess, Degra, another Mr. Man, and Three-Toed discuss how the Round Table is splintering apart. In the midst of all this, Quantum stalks over to a shrine and sees a skull. It looks like the thing Trini finds when she's "trapped" in the desert in 3-2-1 Contact. There are candles around it. How gruesome. "The Avians," Three-Toed says. "Once they darkened the skies of Xindis with their numbers." What the hell? That's exactly what Mr. Mugato said! Is it a Xindi ordinance that whenever the Birdmen of Xinditraz are mentioned, it must be said that they "darkened the sky"? How annoying. Three-Toed says they formed the Round Table to prevent other Xindi from sharing their fate, but Quantum thinks their current Round Table might have the opposite effect. Degra thinks he may have hit on a way to convince the Round Table, and he needs Phlox to do it. Where's Hoshi in all this? I don't see her in the room -- Quantum didn't seriously make her wait outside, did he? Ass.
St. Spheridian talks to Snake Eyes about how the Round Table is splitting apart, and says Quantum never should have been allowed before the Round Table, since now the Mega Maid may not be launched. "If we could prove to them that your people didn't build the spheres," a Snakeling interrupts. "Prove to them? Or to you?" St. Spheridian asks. The Golden Girls look like sharks with their flat eyes and that weird skin. Dolum apologizes for his snakeling and says he's just looking for a way to persuade the Round Table. St. Spheridian says that persuasion isn't an option anymore, and orders him to act with the Bug Houses to "secure the weapon." Dolum is worried about risking civil war, but St. Spheridian guarantees Snake Eyes's dominance if Earth is destroyed. St. Spheridian leaves. "If you ever question the Guardians again, your skin will adorn the bow of this ship," Dolum threatens his snakeling. Considering that reptiles molt, I wouldn't think this is much of a threat.
