Author notes: This is a post-ep to the Season 3 episode "The Shipment". Gralik is the Xindi Arboreal in charge of a contract chemical manufacturing plant producing kemocite, a material with multiple applications, including weapons of mass destruction. It is his voice, following his discussions with Jonathan Archer.
Summary: For the greater good.

__________________________________________________
What I just did is highly unethical.

It is probably illegal too, but that isn't going to rob me of any sleep tonight.

Shipping intentionally contaminated kemocite to a customer goes way beyond the quality control failure I'll have to claim it was when the Xindi detect it. I can only hope that's it's been used in a disastrous weapon test failure by the time they realize it.

It took an enemy - the Human, Archer – to make me realize I failed as an ethical manufacturer. I didn't ask my customer the right questions.

I won't be part of genocide.
