Captain Archer surprised me today. His decision to withhold warp technology, and the 'cure' for what is in essence the natural evolutionary course of this planet, shows his growing understanding of the ethics involved in space exploration.
The fact that he also asked for my advice, and accepted it without argument, shows exactly how much he has grown as a commander in these past few months. I find myself gaining respect for him, not only as my commanding officer, but as a friend … just as he, by his own admission, appears to be gaining respect for me, and my people.
