The Shipment Black and Friedman "previously on" Xindi meeting test weapon, uninhabited planet in Calindra system kemocite, need another shipment of 100kg if test successful can deploy weapon in weeks colony- no defensive systems, no sensor sweeps, no artificial satellites, no vessels in vicinity Enterprise stay on far side of moon landing 12 km north of energy readings Archer, Reed, Hayes reconnaissance mission ionize shuttlepod hull, look like meteor falling cool binoculars Xindi Sloths Corp. Hawkins and assault team standing by T'Pol matching shoe color? communication silence no security devices at compound fence; phaser to cut fence 80 in complex radiolytic compound; doesn't match anything in database hiding is easy mention of Degra synthesize kemocite; multiphasic isotope- numerous applications depending on level of refinement; can transport stuff up 2 spatial charges all that would take to destroy compound from orbit Xindi sloth house, cool bottle/vase; Archer a little testy shouldn't they close the door Gralik Durr Gralik hasn't heard of Earth sloths long fingernails Archer interrogate Gralik about Degra and the weapon identify a subquantum imprint, matches the signature of the Xindi probe; isotope used in weapon that attacked earth wasn't Reed suppose to take the rifle apart and figure it out weeks ago been in Expanse 3 months blast suppressors to confine explosion to not take out settlement transport down part of Xindi probe Xindi rifle organic components; generating synaptic impulses; reproductive capabilities; wouldn't make good pet Xindi primate, Gralik calls reptilians untrustworthy was 6 Xindi species before war - Avians-- 100 year war, planet unstable (politically and) geologically, insectoid and reptilians detonated explosives under 8 largest seismic fissures and destroyed the planet species escaped, live all around the expanse; some live peaceful lives but obviously not all; not logical that aquatic escaped but not avians ship approaching, Xindi reptilians; reptilians upset about something organic component's neural pathways help modulate rifle's power output, most sophisticated biomechanical engineering Phlox has seen Phlox trying to make organic component sick- sustain burst of delta radiation kills organic component could set up portable EM emitters, but amount of radiation would be hazardous to any humans in area avoid omicron radiation, it thrives on it weren't expecting Degra for 3 days been processing kemocite for 6 months for Degra, final shipment; Gralik primary technician Gralik offers to try to obtain info about weapon; appalled by idea of weapon killing 7 million people Xindi knock on door Degra companions don't like to be kept waiting colony fewer than 100 people on planet woman in armory (short dark hair)- security, armory, or engineering? the anonymous security guy that we've seen before 4 of Malcolm's forcefield emitters Xindi took out half security force before when came aboard Darth reptilian Xindi Gralik often takes walks outside facility probes-seekers (for reconnaissance); bloody fast Reed missed, should have had Archer miss; why not keep shooting? seem to quit shooting awfully quickly Rifle booby trapped; overloading; transported into space; Tucker knock down some crewmember; armory and transporter same deck; topaline ore- disrupt Xindi scanners Archer won't make colonists pay since nothing to do with weapon I like the sloths insubordinate Hayes Gralik another test; impurities less than 6 parts per million; isotopic analysis and Gralik run submolecular scans modify radiolytic signature of one canister, Hoshi can track it Gralik said he was hunting tree scarabs Gralik running facility 42 years way too easy for Archer to get into the xindi shuttle Degra calls humans 'ruthless alien species' ship energy portal- range a few light years Gralik- remember that all Xindi are not your enemy Archer a face to the enemy Gralik- chief technician of facility for over 42 years Hayes Degra
