After leaving a very stunned Trip and Malcolm, they both said nothing
to break the stillness, until Malcolm walked over to bring the ship to a
full stop. "What was that all about?" "I have no clue." "Should we... try
talking to him?" "Yeah I guess we can try." They made their way to Hugh's
room only to find it locked and no one was answering the door. "We'll see
him at the staff briefing tomorrow morning." "Yeah I guess so, so do you
want to return to the party?" "Naw, I was thinking of spending some time
with my favorite Amoury Officer." "Who might that be?" "Ya might just know
him too! He has a sexy face with black hair..." "I'm flattered."

As the party began to slowly unwind people began to make their way to bed. The next day was supposed to be a regular shift, with no exceptions. So even Jon and T'Pol began to leave. "T'Pol where did you get that dress?" "It is a dress I save for special occasions. Tonight seemed to warrant the use of it." "Well you look wonderful tonight." "You also look... wonderful tonight." "T'Pol would you care to join me to my quarters to unwind?" "I would... enjoy to go to your quarter, to unwind." With nothing more said they both went to Jon's quarters where they spent a good part of the night talking about the fun they had at the party. Another barricade down between them.
****
The staff briefing at 0700 hours the next day, everyone was there except for Hugh. "Anyone know where Mr. Sullivan is?" Jon really wanted to get this rolling, but they were still short one person. "Right here Captain. Sorry I'm late, I didn't sleep well and ended up oversleeping. How did the rest of the dance go?" "It was a huge success. The entire crew wasn't so spoiled in their entire lives." "I'm glad everyone had a good time." "Sir we are currently at the location of where we lost the signal form the canister you planted on the Xindi ship. Jon looked around the room. "Ok let's recap on what we know about the Xindi and their weapon."
"We know that that it is being built somewhere in this 'Delphic Expanse'." T'Pol began. "Also that there used to be six, but now five distinct species of Xindi. Their home world was destroyed an estimated one hundred and twenty years ago. We know what the power source is for the weapon. We discovered that not all Xindi seem to be implicated in the attack upon Earth. Also that the spatial anomalies might not be natural, but rather a type of defense."
Hugh was surprised to see that of all the information they collected, they were still no closer to finding the Xindi or their weapon. "Captain I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but all this information you have doesn't bring you any closer to finding the Xindi." Everyone sort of lowered their heads in defeat. "What you need to do is stop going in circles and find the damned planets, moon whatever. Stop looking for the pieces to the puzzle! Put it together! You spoke of a mining planet where they get their power source. Start spreading your contacts to find out information. This might not be my Earth, but my generation didn't go through what it did to get destroyed."
