____________________________________________________
There were three Xindi.
Three lives versus seven million innocent people lost in the Xindi test attack on Earth.
Three lives against the total annihilation of life on Earth should we fail to stop their full-scale weapon.
Three Xindi at a monitoring station on a small moon, who detected our approach and would send out an alarm.
Three lives I took in cold blood with my order to fire. I don’t even know what Xindi species they were… does it matter?
Three years later, I can’t look at a moon without remembering… without mourning for their loss, and my own.
