Maj. Zapper and friend show up to say that it's past curfew. "We were just on our way back," Suliban Dad says. Maj. Zapper walks up to him and says, "Sorry, Danik. It's the second time this week." Danik turns to Maj. Zapper and says, "Klev, please." "It's only for one night," Maj. Klev says, while relieving him of his laundry basket. The tone in Klev's voice is more of a boss speaking to an employee caught surfing the web than one of a jailor to an unruly convict. Interesting. Quantum watches this exchange with the Furrowed Brow of Annoyance That He's Being Ignored. "It's my fault," Quantum says, "I'm the one who kept them here." "Get back to your cell," Klev says harshly, his back to Quantum. Cpt. Busybody asks where they're taking Danik. Klev turns to look at him, "Isolation. Unless you want to join him, do as I say." Danik asks Klev's military friend, "Will you make sure she gets back?" The soldier steps forward, as Danik says to his kid, "I'll see you in the morning. Don't worry," and gives the child a loud kiss on her hairless and mottled head. Danik walks off but turns to give Quantum a reproachful look before leaving the common area with Klev close behind. The other officer leads off the child, who mimics Danik by giving Quantum a backward glance. Quantum works his forehead up in the Furrowing of Confused Morals. I'm thinking Mewl-Weather's really going to be petulant about his water taking so long.
Enterprise bridge. "I'd like to speak to them," T'Pol says to AlGrat's image on the viewscreen. AlGrat apologizes for that impossibility, but assures her of their safety and well-being. "If it's all the same to you, I'd rather hear that from the Cap'n," Trip says, sticking his drawling oar in. AlGrat reiterates how much that is not going to happen, and T'Pol asks if they can be present at the hearing. AlGrat gives his assent. "Will they be given legal representation?" T'Pol asks. Good question. One that I note Cpt. Thickskull didn't ask on his own and Meek-Weather's behalf. AlGrat tells T'Pol that her captain and ensign will be able to select their own consul. They should give Dershowitz a call. I'm sure he would have put himself into deep freeze just so he could ham it up on other planetary systems. "When you arrive on Tandar Prime, you will be contacted by the Central Magistrate's Office," AlGrat says. T'Pol says they need the co-ordinates and AlGrat tells her he's sending them. Hoshi gets busy with her laptop. T'Pol thanks AlGrat, who wishes them luck and hangs up.
