i always wondered about this. did he send another Earth ship to give them a replacement coil once the Xindi threat was over? They mentioned him marooning the ship during the "Home" episode but the person he's talking to merely replies that he did what he had to do not that the ship was eventually saved.

Bow ties are coool.
