Oh, come on. You knew what you'd signed up for. Starfleet captains have to perform acts of dubious morality sometimes. It's the nature of the work. No one likes it.

[sigh]

But yes, I know.

Ain't no one proud of what we had ta do, Jon.

The point is...we got the job done. Saved ourselves, the Xindi and the rest of the galaxy.

[Now it's just living with it that's hard.]

[captainarcher]

[ah, the voice of reason]

Yes. Yes, you're right. And I can live with the morality problems.

[keepurshirtonlt]

[It happens occasionally. Especially since he'll be the last one to say it wasn't justified.]

Somehow, I don't think Starfleet will get very far without encounterin' any more of those morality problems. You were just the first.

[exhales]

...I don't like that. Not at all. But I suppose it's the price we pay for being visible in the universe.
