We're preparing to test the weapon
on an uninhabited planet,
12
00:00:47,630 --> 00:00:49,798
but we're going to need
another shipment of kemocite.

I'll contact Gralik.

I have some questions for you.
15
00:00:57,057 --> 00:00:59,516
I wanna know
where they're shipping this kemocite.
16
00:00:59,684 --> 00:01:01,143
It could lead us to the weapon.

TRIP:
There's no doubt about it, captain.
18
00:01:03,188 --> 00:01:05,689
This isotope was used
in the weapon that attacked Earth.
19
00:01:05,899 --> 00:01:07,983
You offered to help us.
20
00:01:08,193 --> 00:01:11,320
- Are you still willing?
- If you're prepared to trust me.
21
00:01:12,906 --> 00:01:14,948
We've modified
the radiolytic signature.
22
00:01:15,158 --> 00:01:18,077
If you can get it on board their ship,
I'll be able to track it.
23
00:01:18,286 --> 00:01:21,288
Degra's going to discover
that you sabotaged his kemocite.

You should just be concerned
with finding this weapon.

You sound like you're afraid
of this expanse, lieutenant.

I'd expect that from a Vulcan,
not a member of the Imperial Guard.

the journey worth the effort.

00:04:33,606 --> 00:04:37,484
- Not quite.
- Then why are you wasting our time?

has been completed.

- Three days.

will finally be eliminated.

I hope you find that worth your time.
62

even sure that it was there at first.

- But you are now?
- Yes, sir.
64

matches the kemocite

about 30 percent of the lost data
out of the redundant memory core.
72
00:05:35,293 --> 00:05:39,004
Enough to begin piecing together
a map of the spatial anomalies.
73

a dense field of them.

00:11:09,502 --> 00:11:11,294
any more than you do.
174
00:11:11,879 --> 00:11:13,421
But we could use their help.
175
00:11:16,133 --> 00:11:17,467
Aye, sir.
176
00:11:32,983 --> 00:11:35,819
- The Andorian shuttle has docked.
- Good. Let's put them to work.
177
00:11:36,028 --> 00:11:37,696
I recommend we assign
a security detail
178
00:11:37,863 --> 00:11:39,489
to each repair crew.
179
00:11:39,699 --> 00:11:42,242
You've been talking
to Lieutenant Reed?
180
00:11:43,494 --> 00:11:44,994
They're here to help, T'Pol.
181
00:11:45,204 --> 00:11:47,205
That doesn't mean
we shouldn't exercise caution.
182
00:11:47,415 --> 00:11:50,208
I'm not gonna ask them
to work with guns at their heads
183
00:11:50,418 --> 00:11:52,585
just because you don't like them.
184
00:11:52,795 --> 00:11:55,630
I neither like nor dislike Andorians.
185
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,007
I've simply had a great deal
of experience with them.
186
00:11:58,217 --> 00:11:59,759
I appreciate that.
187
00:11:59,969 --> 00:12:03,805
But whatever problems exist between
Vulcan and Andoria don't involve us.
188
00:12:04,014 --> 00:12:05,974
Not at the moment.
189
00:12:06,183 --> 00:12:08,309
We weren't always so antagonistic,
captain.
190
00:12:08,519 --> 00:12:11,020
In fact,
despite their heightened emotions,
191
00:12:11,230 --> 00:12:15,442
our first contact with Andorians
seemed promising.
192
00:12:15,651 --> 00:12:17,235
What happened?
193
00:12:17,403 --> 00:12:19,446
They were duplicitous.
194
00:12:19,655 --> 00:12:23,533
They only honored agreements
that didn't conflict with their interests.
195
00:12:23,743 --> 00:12:26,619
Is that your assessment
or the High Command's?
196
00:12:26,829 --> 00:12:28,496
Considering the importance
of this mission,
197
00:12:28,664 --> 00:12:29,831
I feel compelled to point out
198
00:12:29,999 --> 00:12:33,376
that they've proven untrustworthy
in the past.
199
00:12:35,504 --> 00:12:38,047
I don't trust them either, T'Pol.
200
00:12:38,257 --> 00:12:43,511
But based on my experience,
I think I can trust Commander Shran.
201
00:12:45,222 --> 00:12:48,433
- Coffee. Black.
- TRIP: No tea?
202
00:12:48,642 --> 00:12:51,644
Yeah, no crumpets either, thank you.
203
00:12:52,146 --> 00:12:54,147
I need all the caffeine I can get.
204
00:12:54,356 --> 00:12:57,567
- What's the situation in Engineering?
- Bad.
205
00:12:57,777 --> 00:12:59,068
- The Armory?
- Worse.
206
00:12:59,278 --> 00:13:00,945
Which one of you is Reed?
207
00:13:01,447 --> 00:13:02,697
I'm Lieutenant Reed.
208
00:13:03,532 --> 00:13:08,995
I assumed I'd find you in the Armory,
not relaxing here.
209
00:13:09,205 --> 00:13:10,997
What is that?
210
00:13:11,749 --> 00:13:14,918
It's coffee. And just for the record,
I haven't left the Armory
211
00:13:15,127 --> 00:13:18,129
for so much as a bathroom break
in nearly 12 hours.
212
00:13:18,339 --> 00:13:20,048
And you are?
213
00:13:20,591 --> 00:13:23,092
Lieutenant Talas
of the Imperial Warship Kumari.
214
00:13:23,594 --> 00:13:24,886
Ah.
215
00:13:25,346 --> 00:13:26,638
This is Commander Tucker,
216
00:13:26,847 --> 00:13:28,223
- our chief engineer.
- Pleasure.
217
00:13:29,016 --> 00:13:32,477
- I've been ordered to assist you.
- Indeed.
218
00:13:32,686 --> 00:13:36,523
Well, I'll see if I can find something
for you to do.
219
00:13:36,732 --> 00:13:38,399
I have duties of my own.
220
00:13:38,609 --> 00:13:42,237
The sooner your ship is repaired,
the sooner I can get back to them.
221
00:13:42,988 --> 00:13:45,865
Well, I'll let you two get acquainted.
222
00:13:48,118 --> 00:13:50,954
SHRAN:
I wasn't sure we'd find you alive.
223
00:13:51,914 --> 00:13:53,623
Under the circumstances,
224
00:13:54,708 --> 00:13:58,169
I'd say we have something
to celebrate.
225
00:13:59,922 --> 00:14:02,799
I appreciate the gesture,
but we have a lot of repairs to make.
226
00:14:03,008 --> 00:14:05,468
And your crew
is doing a fine job of making them.
227
00:14:05,678 --> 00:14:07,345
Have a drink with me.
228
00:14:08,848 --> 00:14:10,890
You've earned a brief respite.
229
00:14:11,809 --> 00:14:12,851
Andorian ale.
230
00:14:13,978 --> 00:14:17,272
You seemed to enjoy it
the last time we met.
231
00:14:19,358 --> 00:14:22,861
I took the liberty
of bringing a few extra bottles.
232
00:14:23,737 --> 00:14:25,405
Thanks.
233
00:14:26,907 --> 00:14:28,032
To a swift victory.
234
00:14:38,210 --> 00:14:39,669
So...
235
00:14:41,213 --> 00:14:42,964
how did you get picked
for this assignment?
236
00:14:44,008 --> 00:14:45,049
I volunteered.
237
00:14:46,552 --> 00:14:47,760
It made sense.
238
00:14:47,970 --> 00:14:51,639
I've had the greatest amount
of contact with pink--
239
00:14:53,225 --> 00:14:54,893
With humans.
240
00:14:55,102 --> 00:15:00,273
And the last time we met,
you helped my people avert a war.
241
00:15:00,482 --> 00:15:02,191
I don't like unpaid debts.
242
00:15:03,277 --> 00:15:05,069
We keep doing each other favors.
243
00:15:06,447 --> 00:15:08,698
Isn't that how alliances are born?
244
00:15:16,624 --> 00:15:18,541
TRIP:
I haven't seen you in a while.
245
00:15:18,751 --> 00:15:22,170
As long as you're here,
maybe you can give me a hand.
246
00:15:23,088 --> 00:15:26,799
Touch this
to the phase regulator there.
247
00:15:27,009 --> 00:15:29,510
While I check the polarity.
248
00:15:31,472 --> 00:15:34,098
And I thought you might
be avoiding me.
249
00:15:35,351 --> 00:15:39,228
Three neuropressure sessions a week
is hardly avoiding you.
250
00:15:39,438 --> 00:15:41,481
The captain asked for an update
on your repairs.
251
00:15:41,690 --> 00:15:44,776
Well, three of the injectors
are burned out,
252
00:15:44,985 --> 00:15:46,611
the restrictor coils
are completely fried.
253
00:15:46,820 --> 00:15:48,446
How long until we have warp?
254
00:15:48,656 --> 00:15:49,864
I would say at least two days,
255
00:15:50,032 --> 00:15:53,201
but the blue guys
really know their stuff.
256
00:15:53,786 --> 00:15:56,788
Should be up and running
in about, oh, 12 hours.
257
00:15:59,291 --> 00:16:01,209
- Is there a problem?
- No.
258
00:16:01,418 --> 00:16:03,252
Keep me informed of your progress.
259
00:16:13,722 --> 00:16:15,723
Hand me the microspanner, please.
260
00:16:15,891 --> 00:16:16,933
I've brought some equipment
261
00:16:17,101 --> 00:16:19,769
that should align those relays
much more precisely.
262
00:16:19,979 --> 00:16:21,521
The spanner will do the job nicely.
263
00:16:22,314 --> 00:16:24,273
If you wouldn't mind.
264
00:16:26,151 --> 00:16:28,027
Is there anything else I can get you?
265
00:16:28,237 --> 00:16:31,364
- Some coffee, perhaps?
- Oh, that'll be lovely.
266
00:16:32,116 --> 00:16:34,492
Since you clearly don't need my help,
I'll return to my ship.
267
00:16:34,702 --> 00:16:35,952
Thank you for the hospitality.
268
00:16:36,161 --> 00:16:38,538
Give my regards
to Commander Shran.
269
00:16:40,749 --> 00:16:45,128
For what it's worth, lieutenant,
I'm not here to steal your secrets.
270
00:16:45,337 --> 00:16:46,713
It'd hardly be worth the effort.
271
00:16:48,257 --> 00:16:49,340
I beg your pardon?
272
00:16:49,925 --> 00:16:53,970
The last time I saw weapons like these
was during my early tactical training.
273
00:16:54,179 --> 00:16:57,098
I'm sorry I wasted your time
on our primitive systems.
274
00:16:57,307 --> 00:17:00,435
Not at all. I found it nostalgic.
275
00:17:01,687 --> 00:17:04,147
Just be careful when you reconnect
that to your power grid.
276
00:17:05,524 --> 00:17:07,775
You didn't reset
the EPS synchronizer.
277
00:17:07,985 --> 00:17:11,154
You may singe your eyebrows
when you bring it back online.
278
00:17:13,032 --> 00:17:15,450
Lieutenant Talas,
279
00:17:20,205 --> 00:17:23,624
I apologize if I've been rude.
280
00:17:24,293 --> 00:17:25,793
Why don't I get us both
a cup of coffee
281
00:17:25,961 --> 00:17:28,713
and we can align
these relays together?
282
00:17:32,718 --> 00:17:36,554
ARCHER:
Captain's starlog, December 6th, 2153.
283
00:17:36,764 --> 00:17:38,723
With some assistance
from the Andorians,
284
00:17:38,932 --> 00:17:41,768
we've managed to steer clear
of anomalies.
285
00:17:41,977 --> 00:17:43,978
T'POL:
Two hundred million kilometers.
286
00:17:44,188 --> 00:17:47,315
Close enough, Travis.
We don't wanna give ourselves away.
287
00:17:47,524 --> 00:17:49,150
Aye, sir.
288
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,987
It's a G-Type star system,
six planets with over a hundred moons.
289
00:17:53,197 --> 00:17:54,906
Any bio-signs?
290
00:17:55,074 --> 00:17:56,824
There's a great deal of debris
in the system.
291
00:17:56,992 --> 00:17:58,242
I can't tell from this range.
292
00:17:58,452 --> 00:18:00,369
Our sensors are more sophisticated
than yours.
293
00:18:00,537 --> 00:18:01,913
We should be able
to scan the system
294
00:18:02,081 --> 00:18:04,791
without betraying our presence.
If I may?
295
00:18:05,250 --> 00:18:07,126
- This is Commander Shran.
- ANDORIAN: Go ahead.
296
00:18:07,336 --> 00:18:09,796
Transfer our long range sensor data
to Enterprise.
297
00:18:10,005 --> 00:18:11,756
Yes, commander.
298
00:18:14,051 --> 00:18:15,718
It's coming in.
299
00:18:16,136 --> 00:18:17,678
[COMPUTER BEEPING]
300
00:18:22,309 --> 00:18:23,768
T'POL:
Four vessels.
301
00:18:23,936 --> 00:18:25,937
All Xindi.
302
00:18:37,366 --> 00:18:39,408
T'POL:
Many of the moons show evidence
303
00:18:39,576 --> 00:18:41,828
of extensive weapons bombardment.
304
00:18:42,663 --> 00:18:48,876
- Why attack an uninhabited system?
- I don't think they attacked anyone.
305
00:18:50,003 --> 00:18:52,255
It's Bikini Atoll.
306
00:18:52,923 --> 00:18:54,924
- What?
- When my species was developing
307
00:18:55,092 --> 00:18:57,552
primitive nuclear weapons,
they needed places to test them.
308
00:18:57,761 --> 00:19:00,680
One was a remote island
called Bikini Atoll.
309
00:19:00,889 --> 00:19:03,641
So you believe this is some kind
of proving ground?
310
00:19:03,851 --> 00:19:05,101
It's possible.
311
00:19:05,269 --> 00:19:07,145
If they are getting ready
to test their weapon,
312
00:19:07,312 --> 00:19:08,354
we're running out of time.
313
00:19:09,481 --> 00:19:11,149
I wouldn't recommend
a frontal assault.
314
00:19:12,109 --> 00:19:13,484
Your weapons are damaged.
315
00:19:13,652 --> 00:19:15,403
Critical systems are down
all over your ship.
316
00:19:15,571 --> 00:19:19,240
- And you're outnumbered, four to one.
- I thought it was four to two.
317
00:19:19,449 --> 00:19:20,533
Even our combined forces
318
00:19:20,742 --> 00:19:23,411
don't stand a chance
against that kind of firepower.
319
00:19:23,620 --> 00:19:25,746
I'm not ready to risk my ship
when we don't even know
320
00:19:25,956 --> 00:19:28,124
- if the Xindi weapon is here.
- I agree.
321
00:19:29,668 --> 00:19:30,918
We need to get a closer look.
322
00:19:32,754 --> 00:19:35,131
What do you propose we do?
323
00:19:35,549 --> 00:19:37,675
Fly up to them and ask them
what they're doing?
324
00:19:42,848 --> 00:19:44,056
TRIP:
Ensign.
325
00:19:44,224 --> 00:19:46,517
Commander. I'll take him from here.
326
00:19:46,727 --> 00:19:49,854
Mr. Tucker,
how are your repairs coming along?
327
00:19:50,063 --> 00:19:51,731
Pretty well, thanks to your people.
328
00:19:51,940 --> 00:19:54,859
But I was wondering
if I could ask a favor.
329
00:19:55,068 --> 00:19:58,070
I'm told your antimatter injectors
use variable compression nozzles.
330
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,448
Told by whom?
That's rather sensitive information.
331
00:20:00,616 --> 00:20:02,533
I don't wanna get anyone in trouble,
332
00:20:02,701 --> 00:20:05,119
but one of those injectors
would work wonders for our engines.
333
00:20:05,287 --> 00:20:07,371
I imagine it would.
334
00:20:07,539 --> 00:20:08,581
I don't know, commander.
335
00:20:08,749 --> 00:20:12,335
That's a sophisticated piece
of technology.
336
00:20:12,544 --> 00:20:15,963
- I thought we were allies here.
- That remains to be seen.
337
00:20:17,466 --> 00:20:20,051
You have my condolences
over the attack on your world.
338
00:20:21,762 --> 00:20:22,929
Thanks.
339
00:20:23,138 --> 00:20:25,181
I understand your sister was killed.
340
00:20:26,934 --> 00:20:29,227
Captain Archer told me.
341
00:20:30,604 --> 00:20:32,521
Well, lots of people lost family.
342
00:20:34,149 --> 00:20:37,401
No great victory comes
without sacrifice.
343
00:20:38,654 --> 00:20:42,657
The dispute between my people
and the Vulcans hasn't been bloodless.
344
00:20:43,617 --> 00:20:47,912

00:30:43,758 --> 00:30:44,800
We accept.
519
00:30:46,135 --> 00:30:48,262
I'll return to my ship.
520
00:30:48,805 --> 00:30:49,847
I'm going with you.
521
00:30:51,599 --> 00:30:54,434
I plan to be there
when you bring the weapon aboard.
522
00:30:54,644 --> 00:30:56,562
That won't be necessary.
We'll keep you informed.
523
00:30:56,771 --> 00:30:59,565
That's not good enough.
If something goes wrong--
524
00:30:59,774 --> 00:31:02,025
The Kumari is a warship
with a battle-tested crew.
525
00:31:02,193 --> 00:31:03,610
They're capable of performing duties
526
00:31:03,778 --> 00:31:05,362
without you looking over
their shoulders.
527
00:31:05,572 --> 00:31:08,782
What happened to this being
a joint venture?
528
00:31:08,992 --> 00:31:10,826
We'll render
whatever assistance we can,
529
00:31:11,035 --> 00:31:13,787
but my crew won't take orders
from you.
530
00:31:13,997 --> 00:31:15,289
They're going to have to.
531
00:31:15,498 --> 00:31:19,459
The Imperial Guard doesn't serve
at your leisure, pink skin!
532
00:31:19,669 --> 00:31:20,836
This is my mission.
533
00:31:21,045 --> 00:31:24,506
And you'd pass up your best chance
for success over a matter of pride?
534
00:31:24,716 --> 00:31:25,883
This isn't about pride.
535
00:31:26,092 --> 00:31:29,511
The Xindi killed seven million humans,
not Andorians.
536
00:31:29,721 --> 00:31:33,348
I won't put the fate of my people
in the hands of the Imperial Guard.
537
00:31:34,726 --> 00:31:35,851
Now, we could use your help.
538
00:31:36,895 --> 00:31:39,855
But if you're not happy
with me calling the shots,
539
00:31:40,023 --> 00:31:42,774
then we'll go it alone.

believes the weapon is unstable.

It nearly overloaded.
543
00:31:55,747 --> 00:31:57,289

544
00:31:57,498 --> 00:32:01,335
I have no reason to doubt her
assessment. She seems competent.
545
00:32:01,544 --> 00:32:04,463
We'll review her data.
Proceed as planned.
546
00:32:04,672 --> 00:32:08,175
General, the humans
may yet become valuable allies.
547
00:32:08,384 --> 00:32:12,971
If your mission is successful, we won't
need an alliance with them or anyone.
548
00:32:13,181 --> 00:32:14,765
Why squander the opportunity?
549
00:32:14,974 --> 00:32:17,100
Is this mission worth
making enemies of them?
550
00:32:17,310 --> 00:32:20,687
It's not up to you to determine
the value of this mission, commander.
551
00:32:21,272 --> 00:32:26,026
I trust your regard for this pink skin
won't cause you to forget that.

What are you doing?
553
00:32:34,702 --> 00:32:37,287
Why are you accessing the sensors?
They weren't damaged.
554
00:32:37,872 --> 00:32:39,081
Not by the anomaly.
555
00:32:39,290 --> 00:32:40,916
With all the bypasses
we've been running
556
00:32:41,125 --> 00:32:44,002
we obviously could have created
some additional problems.

So anything
we need to worry about?
561

Your lateral array
was out of alignment.

I corrected it. All other systems
are functioning properly.

00:33:02,063 --> 00:33:04,147
I'd take this ship into combat myself.

00:33:04,357 --> 00:33:06,400
Even with our primitive weapons?
565
00:33:06,609 --> 00:33:09,987
It's not the weapon,
it's the soldier who wields it.

- Are they following?
- TALAS: No.

I'm afraid we won't be taking orders

to let us use your ship.

I was ordered to retrieve the weapon
by whatever means necessary.

I'm starting to think the Vulcans
may be right about you.

The Vulcans are the reason
we're doing this.

What are you talking about?

For 200 years, all that's kept them
from invading Andoria
607
00:35:55,194 --> 00:35:57,279
is the threat of massive retaliation.

they wouldn't dare attack us.

You're putting Earth at risk because
of a border dispute with the Vulcans?

I guess I'm not familiar
with the Andorian concept of help.

00:36:13,796 --> 00:36:16,381
I don't need to justify my actions
to you, pink skin.
615
00:36:16,591 --> 00:36:19,718
I swore an oath to the Imperial Guard.
My loyalty lies with them.

00:36:19,927 --> 00:36:22,137
My crew won't let you take the weapon
without a fight.

Your ship isn't fast enough
to catch us.

was working on Enterprise

but there's significant damage
to their engines and power systems.
687
00:40:47,069 --> 00:40:48,153
Open a channel to Shran.
688
00:40:50,448 --> 00:40:54,701
Ask him
if he requires our assistance.
689
00:40:56,203 --> 00:40:58,496
ARCHER:
Captain's starlog, supplemental.
690
00:40:58,706 --> 00:41:02,834
Commander Shran
graciously declined our offer of help.
691
00:41:03,043 --> 00:41:04,461
The last we saw of them,
692
00:41:04,628 --> 00:41:08,047
they were limping away
on auxiliary power.
693
00:41:12,761 --> 00:41:14,012
You have something?
694
00:41:14,221 --> 00:41:15,388
Just before we went to warp,
695
00:41:15,598 --> 00:41:18,308
we received a transmission
from the Andorian ship.
696
00:41:18,517 --> 00:41:20,560
It wasn't on one
of their normal com frequencies.
697
00:41:20,769 --> 00:41:24,314
It was encrypted to look
like subspace interference.
698
00:41:24,523 --> 00:41:26,024
ARCHER:
Let's see it.
699
00:41:26,233 --> 00:41:28,610
Apparently they had time
to take some detailed scans
700
00:41:28,819 --> 00:41:30,487
while it was aboard their ship.
701
00:41:30,696 --> 00:41:33,239
T'POL: Judging from the clandestine
nature of the transmission,
702
00:41:33,449 --> 00:41:37,243
I'd guess that whoever sent this
didn't want to be discovered.
703
00:41:38,829 --> 00:41:41,789
Get it to Starfleet Command
right away.
704
00:41:44,877 --> 00:41:48,379
Why don't you and Trip join me
for dinner tonight.
705
00:41:48,589 --> 00:41:52,473
I have some Andorian ale
you might like to try.
