[Enterprise has received a lead on a Xindi from a freighter captain]
Lieutenant Malcolm Reed : With all due respect, sir, we should approach with caution. The freighter captain was of... questionable character.
Captain Jonathan Archer : Where are we, Malcolm?
Lieutenant Malcolm Reed : Sir?
Captain Jonathan Archer : This room, what did it use to be?
Lieutenant Malcolm Reed : A s-storage bay, sir. Conduit housings, I believe.
Captain Jonathan Archer : But it got retrofitted. Starfleet went to a lot of trouble to turn it into our new command center. Why is that, Malcolm?
Lieutenant Malcolm Reed : Because of our mission, sir.
Captain Jonathan Archer : To find the Xindi, right?
Lieutenant Malcolm Reed : Right.
Captain Jonathan Archer : So this state-of-the-art equipment was put in here to help us gather all the pieces of the puzzle. Figure out who's trying to destroy Earth.
Lieutenant Malcolm Reed : Right.
Captain Jonathan Archer : Six weeks. We've been in this Expanse for six weeks. What data have we gathered? What pieces of the puzzle have we started to put together? Not a single one. We don't have the luxury of being safe or cautious anymore. And if the only lead we can find comes from a freighter captain of questionable character, then that's good enough for me. Understood?
