"NARRATOR:" "Previously on Enterprise." "I've located Ensign Sato." "She's onboard one of the Reptilian vessels." "The third launch code." "We have complete access." "The Guardians will not let us fail." "The power readings from the weapon are increasing." "They're preparing to launch." "Open a vortex." "Set a course for Earth." "Captain wants to take a team aboard to destroy it." "I need three volunteers." "She's undergone a severe neural trauma." "She's been inside the weapon." "I have to know what she saw." "Have her taken aboard Degra's ship right away." "The Aquatics joined us only because you promised to neutralise the spheres." "We have a plan to disable sphere 41." "If we're right, it should disrupt the entire network." "Reptilians will preside over a stronger... unified Xindi empire... if humankind is eradicated." "If they had made us the dominant species before the wars... our homeworld would still exist." "And our Avian brothers would still fill the skies." "We should be grateful that the Guardians... have finally come to their senses." "DOLlM:" "Once Earth is destroyed, the Reptilians... will take their rightful place at the head... of a new Xindi empire." "It's been a long road" "Gettin' from there to here" "It's been a long time" "But my time is finally near" "And I will see my dream Come alive at last" "I will touch the sky" "And they're not gonna Hold me down no more" "No, they're not gonna change my mind" "'Cause I've got faith of the heart" "I'm going where my heart will take me" "I've got faith to believe" "I can do anything" "I've got strength of the soul" "And no one's gonna bend or break me" "I can reach any star" "I've got faith" "I've got faith" "Faith of the heart" "XINDI-HUMANOID:" "They're three hours ahead... but this vessel is faster." "We're closing the gap." "It may be faster but it's not well-armed." "How many ships are escorting the weapon?" "I can't tell." "The only way we're going to be able to destroy this thing is from the inside." "Any luck?" "All of Degra's schematics are encrypted." "We're going to need Hoshi to help us." "She's in no condition to come up here." "I wish I had a choice, Malcolm." "Sir, she's barely conscious." "Can you transfer that to a padd?" "Something portable?" "The favourable timelines continue to diminish." "They should be increasing." "The weapon has almost reached its target." "But the Earth ship is on course for a primary sphere." "Accelerate the transformation around that sphere." "They must not be allowed to intervene." "Report." "We've realigned the main power grid." "It should increase the deflector pulse three-fold, maybe four." "But it's gonna fry just about every system onboard." "Be prepared to initiate the pulse within two hours." "I don't think you heard what I just said." "We try this and the ship is gonna come apart at the seams." "Two hours, Mr. Tucker." "The Captain told the Xindi we'd try to knock these things out." "He didn't say anything about demolishing Enterprise in the process." "T'POL:" "Has it occurred to you what'll happen if Captain Archer fails?" "T'POL:" "If Earth is destroyed?" "TRIP:" "Every day." "Good." "Then you've already come to the conclusion... that without humanity... there's no one to combat these sphere-builders." "Their Expanse will continue to grow... encompassing one system after another... including Vulcan." "Your world is no longer the only one in jeopardy." "Two hours." "I think we've got a problem." "What is it?" "Sphere 41." "T'POL:" "Are you certain these are the coordinates?" "Yep." "There shouldn't be anything on sensors, not with the cloaking barrier." "But there it is, and it's getting bigger." "Have you analysed it?" "Could be spatial anomalies... but they're clustered much tighter than we've ever seen them." "PHLOX:" "They're transforming the space around the sphere... not unlike the disturbance where we found the trans-dimensional being." "They're obviously expecting us." "If we're going to disable the network... we'll need to get within a kilometre of the surface." "If the ship were to enter that disturbance... the entire crew would be dead within minutes." "I could synthesise a neuroleptic compound... that would keep us conscious for approximately 12 minutes." "I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to prevent epidermal decay." "Twelve minutes won't be enough." "Perhaps I can extend it but not by much." "I encourage you and Mr. Tucker to consider alternatives." "There must be something you can do to abbreviate your plan." "Any luck?" "Ensign?" "I'm not feeling very well." "HOSHI:" "Do you think you can get Phlox to come down here?" "We're on Degra's ship, Hoshi." "Phlox isn't here." "I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing." "The schematics for the weapon." "Degra encrypted them before he was killed." "You've been trying to decipher them." "I gave them the third code." "They wouldn't have been able to arm the weapon... if I hadn't given them the third code." "You were drugged, Hoshi." "You had no choice." "I did." "I should have fought harder." "You need to finish what you're doing." "You're almost there." "We're going to board the weapon, try to overload the power systems." "But we can't do that until we can read these schematics." "I tried to jump but I wasn't fast enough." "You need to finish this." "You got the three codes so why don't you just kill me?" "Didn't you say you were going to kill me?" "You've got to pull yourself together just for a little while longer." "ARCHER:" "You need to complete the decryption." "Everything hinges on it." "Do you understand?" "I understand." "When we exit the vortex, how close will we be?" "Approximately two million kilometres from Earth." "Two million?" "If we had all five codes, we could begin that firing sequence immediately." "But with three, we'll need additional time." "We'd be vulnerable if we dropped... into normal space any closer to the target." "Do whatever it takes to fire the weapon as quickly as possible." "You wanted to see me, sir?" "I think I found a way to boost the deflector pulse... without tearing the ship apart." "But it's gonna mean transferring all impulse power to the array." "When?" "As soon as we reach the sphere." "MAYWEATHER:" "Sir." "TRIP:" "Sorry, Travis." "You're gonna have to get us to the manifold on thrusters only." "That's tying my hands, Commander, especially with a ticking clock." "You can do it." "Look over these schematics." "Familiarise yourself with the surface features of the sphere." "We won't be able to transport directly onto the control platform." "It's too heavily shielded." "We'll have to beam in and out... no deeper than this peripheral framework." "What if you need to board the weapon... before your crewman completes her decryptions?" "I'm taking her with me." "Sir, she's hardly in any shape" "She's been there, Malcolm." "That's where she deciphered the third launch code." "She was drugged." "There's no reason to believe..." "REED: that she'll remember anything-- ARCHER:" "She's coming with me." "I want you and your team to beam in right before we do." "Secure the closest route to the platform." "If you succeed in creating the overload... what makes you think you'll be able to get out in time?" "I'll give everyone a chance to get to the outer framework." "You'll be in charge of helping Hoshi." "And you, sir?" "I have no plans of dying on that weapon, Malcolm." "I'm going to see what else she's come up with." "DANIELS:" "This is a very important day, Jonathan." "I don't have time for this." "It'll only take a minute." "You see the fellow in the blue jacket, near the left end of the dais?" "That's you, a little more than seven years from now." "You and the others are about to make history." "Do you remember I told you about a "Federation"?" "What about it?" "I work with some people who are going to be... pretty angry at me for telling you this... but you're going to be an integral part of forming that Federation." "You're down there, right now... with Vulcans, Andorians, and Tellarites... getting ready to sign the charter." "The membership is going to grow." "Dozens, eventually hundreds of species." "A United Federation of Planets." "I have a team preparing to board the weapon." "I've got other things to think about right now." "Let Reed or another go to the control platform." "What're you talking about?" "It's too great a risk." "If you're killed, none of this will happen." "At least, not the way it's supposed to happen." "Then it'll happen some other way." "ARCHER:" "Who's to say whether it'll be better or worse?" "It's essential you be a part of this." "Where are we?" "What planet?" "Earth." "Seems to me it's just as "essential"... that Earth be around for this, too." "Lieutenant Reed can work with Sato." "They're not crucial to the future of mankind, you are." "My mission is to save Earth, not your Federation." "You can't ignore your place in history." "My place is on that control platform." "Now get me the hell back to Degra's ship." "And if it's not too much of an inconvenience..." "I'd appreciate it if you'd contact my first wife's third husband..." "Groznik." "Tell him that he's welcome to keep the Aldebaran drum set I loaned him." "Oh, they have a child named Indeeaura... a sweet little girl, she must be eight or nine by now." "I would like to leave her my botanical library." "She always had a flair for plants." "Computer, pause recording." "Everything is ready here." "T'POL:" "Commander Tucker has completed his modifications... to the deflector." "I apologise if I interrupted you." "No, don't be silly." "I was simply dictating a letter to my colleague, Dr. Lucas." "He offered to make sure my affairs were in order in the event that...." "Well, you know." "I've always found it distracting to think of death... especially when entering a dangerous situation." "Hope for the best, prepare for the worst." "I don't know about Vulcans, but Denobulans take great pleasure... in bequeathing their belongings to far-flung relatives." "T'POL:" "We're not dead yet." "MAYWEATHER:" "Bridge to T'Pol." "T'POL:" "Go ahead." "MAYWEATHER:" "We're approaching the coordinates." "Take us out of warp." "Hope for the best, Doctor." "MAYWEATHER:" "It's grown." "It's 100,000 kilometres deeper than when we first detected it." "I've enhanced the neuroleptic compound as much as I can." "I strongly advise we remain in the disturbance no longer than 15 minutes." "Are you ready to release the compound?" "Then proceed." "Stand by to charge the deflector." "Set a course, Ensign." "ARCHER:" "Captain's Starlog, supplemental." "We've begun to formulate a plan, thanks to Hoshi... who's made some progress in decrypting the schematics." "What have you guys figured out?" "ARCHER:" "We have to disable the reactor at a specific point... during the inversion sequence... but we don't know the sequence." "If it's not done in the right order, the internal safeguards will kick in... and it'll be impossible to create an overload." "I found the sequence, but decrypting it is another story." "Your friend Degra didn't make this easy." "I wish I could tell you to take your time." "The first time you came to visit me in Brazil..." "It didn't stop raining for a week." "...I had a bug then, too." "A tropical bacteria, not a Reptilian parasite." "I was sick as a dog but I wanted to make a good impression." "When we get back home..." "I'll see to it you get some R and R in Norway or Canada." "Some place where there's not a tropical bug in sight." "HOSHI:" "Or reptiles." "ARCHER:" "Or reptiles." "Keep at it." "I'll get these to the Bridge." "We've gotten close enough to isolate their signatures." "The Insectoid ship is no longer with them." "Why would they leave the vortex?" "We have no idea." "All we know is that the weapon is being escorted... by a single Reptilian vessel." "Dolim's." "At least we'll only have one ship to contend with." "Here we go." "Doctor?" "15 minutes and counting." "Any sign of the sphere?" "It's too soon." "Hold your course." "Degra's vessel is less than 20 minutes behind us." "Lieutenant, we're about to drop into normal space." "Stand by to initiate the firing sequence." "We're ready." "Are you detecting any Earth vessels near the coordinates?" "No vessels but there is one small orbital station... unarmed." "Let me see Earth." "DOLlM:" "Enlarge." "It's a shame." "All that water." "DOLlM:" "The Aquatics would feel at home here." "I've got it." "How far?" "20,000 kilometres." "13 minutes left." "As soon as we make visual contact, go to thrusters." "Set a heading to latitude 15 degrees north." "Deflector?" "Standing by." "They're 800,000 kilometres ahead." "ARCHER:" "Get your team ready to go." "REED:" "Aye, sir." "Dolim's changing course." "They're heading for a space station." "Are we in visual range?" "ARCHER:" "Yosemite 3?" "A military installation?" "A research post." "Usually 30 to 40 civilians aboard." "Hail them on this frequency." "The weapon's emitting disruption waves." "I can't get anything through." "15 degrees north." "Drop to 2,000 metres." "Track starboard, 82 mark 0." "Aye." "Doc, there's something weird happening to my skin." "Me, too!" "It was expected." "Try not to scratch it." "11 minutes remaining." "The Guardians said that once Earth is gone... we're to destroy all human colonies." "I see no reason not to begin with this station." "Target." "Fire when ready." "They're heading back toward the weapon." "Ten degrees port." "Slow to 30 kph." "I'm transferring the target point to the deflector array." "Got it." "Begin." "Fish in a barrel." "Less than ten minutes to go." "What the hell's going on?" "Power just fell 10%." "I'm picking up explosions on E-Deck." "Bridge to Engineering." "Report." "I'm losing the beam." "There are nine alien life-signs aboard." "They appear to be trans-dimensional beings." "How is that possible?" "This disturbance we're in, it's obviously been altered enough to sustain them." "DOLlM:" "Who's on Degra's ship?" "Eight Primates, three Arboreals, and seven humans." "Have their weapons been upgraded?" "No, sir." "Pathetic." "Prepare to intercept." "They're arming their torpedoes." "REED:" "Sir." "How's Hoshi doing?" "She's holding up." "She and the MACOs are at the transporter device." "ARCHER:" "Remember, no heroics." "Just get us in and then keep them off your ass." "There's another vessel approaching at high warp." "They're asking for you." "You're not using your head, pinkskin." "That ship you're on is no match for the Reptilian." "I'm busy, Shran." "What are you doing here?" "You should be impressed we managed to track you through the vortex." "I anticipated that you'd need some help." "KELLY:" "Corporal Kelly to the Bridge." "T'POL:" "Go ahead." "KELLY:" "Our weapons are passing through them." "You gotta stop this." "If I don't get full power back... this is gonna take three, four minutes longer than we thought." "We can't afford three or four minutes." "Corporal Kelly, listen to me very closely." "Modulate your weapons to a rotating frequency of 32.6 teracycles." "T'POL:" "Doctor?" "PHLOX:" "Our trans-dimensional friend... the one we found in the pod..." "I had quite a few hours to study his physiology." "Let's hope my memory serves me well." "I'll be right in front of you gentlemen." "Keep a low profile." "We're matching speed." "You said there were no human vessels in the vicinity." "They're not human." "Destroy them both." "That third torpedo almost got you." "Be careful!" "Prepare to come about to port." "Stay below me." "We'll need to get within a kilometre of the weapon." "SHRAN:" "Just stay below me." "Let's fight back this time, shall we?" "Bring the forward cannons online." "Go!" "And tell Archer we're not even anymore." "He owes me!" "It's coming back." "Tell them to keep doing what they're doing." "WALKER:" "Walker to the Bridge." "T'POL:" "Go ahead." "WALKER:" "We have Engineering... but I don't think we've seen the last of them." "It's time for you to work your magic, Mr. Tucker." "Within five minutes, everyone in this ship is going to start dying." "No pressure." "Okay, bring up the inversion sequence." "Start with the third one from the left." "ARCHER:" "Got it." "The second from the right." "Hoshi?" "I'm all right!" "The first one on the left is next." "Commander, sensors show the humans are no longer aboard Degra's vessel." "These ships are drawing us away from the weapon." "Get us back!" "TRIP:" "What's going on?" "PHLOX:" "Ignore it." "You've got less than two minutes." "Got it." "Two to go." "Hoshi?" "REED:" "Reed to Archer." "ARCHER:" "Go ahead." "I'm pretty certain that was the last of them." "ARCHER:" "Good work." "Now get back here." "T'Pol." "PHLOX:" "T'Pol!" "T'POL:" "All right!" "Take us to full impulse." "Get us out of here." "Wait a minute, I'm almost there!" "You don't have a minute, Commander!" "Then give me ten seconds." "I'm telling you, I've got it." "That's it!" "Time's up!" "It sure is." "Now, Mr. Mayweather!" "The network is being destroyed." "Looks like we're getting out of this soup faster than we thought." "Without the sphere, their transformed space... must be collapsing in on itself." "Which one, Hoshi?" "Number 4, the fourth one from the left." "REED:" "Are you sure?" "Yes." "Number 5 is the last one after you disable the reactor." "But if we knock the reactor out, won't that be enough?" "We didn't come here to disable this weapon." "We're here to destroy it." "Give me the charges." "I'll take care of it, sir." "I want the four of you to get to the outer-framework." "Beam back to Degra's ship." "REED:" "As Chief Tactical Officer, sir-- ARCHER:" "This isn't open for debate." "Don't worry, I'll be right behind you." "DOLlM:" "What have you done?" "One Reptilian transported to the weapon." "Let's make sure he has nowhere to go back to." "They have no shielding on their starboard engines." "Target all weapons." "Can you get a lock on him?" "Not yet." "Your Captain is too deep within the weapon." "T'POL:" "Acting Captain's Starlog, February 14, 2152." "We're holding position at the coordinates where... we were told to meet Degra's vessel." "So far, there's been no word from them." "Long-range sensors are detecting no evidence of the spheres." "TRIP:" "None of them?" "None." "And all the spatial anomalies within our scanning range have vanished." "What about the thermobaric cloud barrier?" "T'POL:" "I only detect a small section from our present location... but it appears to be dissipating." "Looks like we kept our end of the bargain." "It would appear that the Expanse is returning to normal space." "We should've heard something by now." "What if they failed?" "Earth could be...." "Be patient." "My skin's healing faster than yours." "I guess you Vulcans aren't so tough after all." "Dr. Phlox says we should all be back to normal within two to three days." "I'm only kidding." "You look nice like this... kind of like an old oil painting." "I am not old." "I will only be 66 years old on my next birthday." "I can't believe you told me that." "T'POL:" "You accused me of looking old." "TRIP:" "That's not what I mean." "I've been trying to get you to tell me your age since we left spacedock." "Why now?" "To Vulcans, certain information is considered intimate." "Intimate?" "MAYWEATHER:" "Bridge to T'Pol." "Go ahead." "MAYWEATHER:" "A vortex just opened." "It's Degra's ship." "This is Enterprise." "Please repeat." "Captain, did you stop the weapon?" "Captain?" "Set an intercept course." "It's done." "Done?" "REED:" "Captain Archer destroyed the weapon." "Where is he?" "Is he okay?" "Captain didn't make it, Trip." "What do you mean, he didn't make it?" "The weapon exploded... before he could transport to Degra's ship." "T'POL:" "Come in." "T'POL:" "Thank you." "The Aquatic vessel should have you home in less than a day." "I was pleased to hear that the Council has agreed to reconvene." "It was difficult for the Insectoids to ignore recent events." "And the Reptilians?" "They will join us eventually." "They have no choice but to accept that the Guardians' promises were empty." "Your Captain's sacrifice will not be forgotten." "Safe journey." "Thank you." "It's all right." "It won't be much longer, I promise." "Is something wrong?" "I think they sense that we are travelling in an unusual manner... in the belly of the beast, so to speak." "There are no windows here." "How would they know we're inside the Aquatic vessel?" "I don't have the slightest idea." "I doubt I'll get much peace and quiet around here... until we are flying under our own power." "It'll only be a few more hours." "Is there something I can do for you?" "My skin hasn't fully healed yet." "Oh, you're doing fine." "Vulcans are obviously more sensitive... to the effects of mysterious realms." "I guess we're not so tough after all." "PHLOX:" "Excuse me?" "Is there anything I'll need to treat this?" "Only time." "How is morale?" "It isn't easy for a crew to lose its captain." "I suppose we'll all need time to heal." "Will he be all right?" "Not for a while." "He lost his best friend." "But it's just a matter of time." "He'll be fine again." "Did you hear that?" "The Doctor says you'll be fine." "It's just a matter of time." "T'POL:" "Distance?" "MAYWEATHER: 800,000 kilometres." "Set a course, Ensign." "You should be in your quarters." "With all due respect to Phlox, I wouldn't miss this for the world." "Mind if we take a look?" "Prettiest sight I ever saw." "It's all in one piece." "The Captain would be proud." "Open a channel to Starfleet Headquarters." "Strange." "TRIP:" "What?" "They are not responding." "You'd think they'd be waiting with bated breath." "Try another frequency." "I'm not picking up the orbital platforms." "The Reptilians destroyed Yosemite Station." "MAYWEATHER:" "It's not just Yosemite." "There's nothing coming from any of them." "I've rotated through all the frequencies." "T'POL:" "Contact the Lunar 1 colony." "HOSHI:" "I already tried." "Prepare a shuttlepod." "I want you and Ensign Mayweather... to get down to San Francisco." "Find out what's wrong." "Looks pretty normal to me." "Then why the hell doesn't anyone want to talk to us?" "Land at the pad behind the Command Centre." "Finally!" "We've got three vessels approaching." "It's about time." "This is Commander Charles Tucker of the Starship Enterprise." "You guys gave us quite a" "What the hell?" "Sir."
