| | Monkee reviews 'Stratagem' |
 | | Degra doesn't want to believe it, but he can't deny the facts around him: the shuttle, the stars outside the viewport, the prison tattoo, the bloodworm slithering just beneath his skin, and the inherent plausibility of Archer's story, which he continues once they've disabled the Insectoid ships. |
 | | Degra and the others were hostile, and, of course, convinced that Earth was such a threat that their mission was entirely justified. |
 | | Degra expresses a fierce protectiveness for his children, and regret because he knows innocents were killed on Earth, too, because of the weapon he designed. |
