Degra walks ahead of Hoshi and Quantum. Quantum comments, "Kinda feels like being called to the principal's office." Because of Ramona Quimby, I will always know how to spell "principal." Hoshi goody-too-shoeses that she never got called to the principal's office. Not even to brown-nose? "I was once," Quantum says, hurriedly getting in that it was only ONCE. Degra tells some Snake Eyes guards to stand aside. I want the Snake Eyes to bang a large stick and yell, "You! Shall! Not! PASS!" But they don't -- they stand aside. Hoshi asks Quantum, "What for?" She means the princi-PAL's office. "When we're done here," Quantum mutters. Inside the chambers of the Xindi of the Round Table, Dolum bitches that Degra brought humans to their secret wardrobe, and orders him to explain himself if he expects the humans to leave there alive. I'm sorry, but that's really not much of a threat, since the whole point of the humans being there is to explain WHY THEY'RE THERE! Go eat another grandson, Dolum.
After the commercial break, Three-Toed agrees with Degra that there's no need for threats. Everyone takes their seats -- well, except for the Aquamen, who just float in their tank and also don't have to worry about bathroom breaks -- and Quantum's in the spotlight. "You killed seven million of my people," Quantum starts. Oh, STOP IT! THEY KNOW THAT ALREADY, SINCE THEY ARE THE ACTUAL ONES WHO DID IT!! For the love of Mike, just move it along. PLEASE! Quantum recaps that he knows they've been told humans are going to destroy Xindiland sometime in the future. "That's a lie," Quantum adds. Bug House goes nuts, and Hoshi translates that Bug House doesn't think St. Spheridian has ever lied to them. Quantum argues. There's much doubt coming from the Bug Houses and Dolum, who think Quantum invented his data. Degra speaks up for Quantum and says the data is accurate, damning, and adds, "Have you no decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?!"
More argument among Xindikind. Aquawoman interrupts with an aria from La Beluga. Hoshi punches her hand-held with absurdly long nails for someone who is serving aboard a starship, and translates: "This is not relevant. We're here to discuss the human's claims." "Very skillful -- no past tense used. If they EVER use the PAST TENSE, I EXPECT Poppadum to RESPOND!" the Evil Dr. Mathra announces, punctuating his sentence by pointing a finger at the seriously confused cat. Quantum tries to explain that if the Xindi wipe out mankind, they will also be endangering all Xindikind as well. Snake Eyes and two Mr. Men argue, and Dolum makes to flounce right out of the chambers. Degra lays hands on Dolum and gets belted for it. Quantum decides to defend Degra's honor by poking Dolum in the eye, but a Bug House grabs him and throws him on top of a table. A round-ish table, mind you. After the chittering stops, Hoshi looks at her handheld and says, "You don't wanna know." "Can't they think of anything else for Hoshi to say? I mean, really, how many times has she said that?" the Evil Dr. Mathra demands.
