Episode Six: Mudd Castles in the Sky

Starfleet, in desperate need of Zenite-B (a derivative form of Zenite used to enhance their ships phasers), sends the Enterprise to the planet Ardana to negotiate with the Ardanians. Upon arrival the crew meet up with Fenton Mudd, a questionable trader and someone who has had a close relationship with Hoshi last year.

Throughout the episode Hoshi mush fend off against Fenton's romantic advances. Mudd explains that the peaceful Ardanians don't like to refine the normal Zenite (used for medicine) into a form used for weapon enhancement. Archer states that they need it or else they won't be able to win the war with the Romulans. Mudd, who has a good relationship with the Ardanians, agrees to help negotiate (for a percentage, of course).

The Ardanians take the crew to the newly constructed city in the sky, Stratos. There the Ardanians explain that their automated mining process will not refine Zenite into Zenite-B and they will need to actually send people to do that (later to be known as the Troglytes). Mudd seeing a good opportunity tries to sneak into Stratos's engineering area to try to obtain the Ardanians high powered anti-gravity technology, things to not go as planned for Mudd. By the end of the episode Archer and the Ardanians reach an agreement and send in people to start mining. So Archer, because of the war's needs, is responsible for setting up the situation that Kirk has to resolve 100 years later.

Episode Five: Avians Over Avalon

The Enterprise receives a signal from the Alpha Century security task force, It seems a Xindi ship has entered there space. The Enterprise confronts the Xindi ship to find that the Xindi humanoid and Xindi Sloth who helped Archer at the end of season 3.

It's seems that the Xindi are chasing evidence that the previous thought to be extinct Xindi Avians may have migrated to Alpha Century and maybe nearby the capital city of Avalon.

Archer reluctantly agrees to help the Xindi with their search, knowing that the humans will be very resistant to the Xindi's presence on AC. Archer must overcome his own peoples xenophobia and find some clues in order to find evidence of the Avians. It will turn out that what they discover will be a surprise to everyone involved! Also in this episode we will see Hoshi have an adverse reaction when she has to deal with a Xindi Reptilian (see Zero Hour, Season 3) during this expedition.

Episode Four: Under The Raptor's Wing

When the Enterprise gets to Vulcan they are greeted by T'Pau, She explains to Archer that The Order of the Raptor are Vulcans that embraces the raw powerful emotions of their ancient ancestors and are a mostly secret society as most Vulcans look down on them. Archer and T’Pol conduct an investigation and we learn through the investigation that T'Pol's father (name TBD) was member of the cult right up until he died.

Archer finds out that V'Las (see Kir'shara, season 4) is the Vulcan leader of this group. During the episode, we (not Archer) see scenes of V'Las getting orders from the Romulans (as was touched on briefly in Kir'shara). It turns out that The Order of the Raptor was actually started by the Romulans 30 years ago and several Romulans secretly mixed into Vulcan society, a lot of them are sleeper agents that may be activated someday. Most Vulcans in the order are not even aware of whom the Romulans are, and the fact they are among them.



We learn through V'Las's conversation with the Romulans that T'pol's father was one such sleeper agent and 'if she only knew her precious Vulcan bloodline was not as pure as she thought'. Anyway it ends up with Archer and T’Pol discovering V'Las's hideout and T’Pol gets into a confrontation with V'las forcing her to shoot him, as he lay dying he says to T’Pol 'your father would be proud' T’Pol replies 'Vulcans do not express pride' at that point V'Las lets out a laugh as he dies.

In the very last scene we are brought a building in Romulus were a Romulan officer is sitting at a deck with big bay windows in back of him overlooking the Romulan city, another Romulan walks in and reports that V'Las has been killed, the Romulan officer get up and walks by the windows looking out at the city (back turned to the other Romulan), he says 'who killed him' to which the other Romulan replies 'The Vulcan Starfleet officer, T’Pol'. Then Romulan Officer still looking out the window starts to smile and then say's 'like father, like daughter' and then continues to smile.

The end (although implied, we will leave it ambiguous if that was really T'Pol's father)

Episode Three: 'The More Things Change'

I have been very remiss at updating Enterprise S5, my apologies... But I shall endeavour to complete the episodes completed as soon as I can. In the meantime, here is Episode 3...

(This opening scene was meant to be part of episode Two, but due to the length it was added to this episode)

T’Pol will have one more dream with seemingly dead Trip. In it she asks Trip if can remember anything about the Andorian girl he spoke of. Trip tries to remember something and says the word 'Talla', as he does T’Pol wakes.

Later T’Pol talks with Trip and says that since they lost their new Chief Engineer Enterprise really needs Trip, then goes further by adding that she needs Trip.

Trip, who realizes that Starfleet will need those NX ships soon, is a bit hesitant because of his feeling of obligation towards getting the project done. He, however, agrees to stay but does not think Gardner will allow it. T’Pol says to let the captain deal with it as he has ways of being persuasive when dealing with the Admiral.



In act two, Archer will be having a meeting on Earth with Admiral Gardner and some other high ranking military staff (while Enterprise is in space dock) over the declared war by the Romulans (also discussing the status of the three incomplete NX ships). During the meeting the intercom will beep and the voice will say that there's been an accident at the Warp 7 complex (which is near Starfleet headquarters).

As Archer and Gardner get off a shuttlecar in front of the mammoth building that used to be the warp 5 complex which is now the warp 7 complex (since the Vulcans decided to share their warp technology with Earth), Archer stares up to the building and has a small flashback of himself as a child standing with his father, Henry, looking at the same building, Archer will also recall meeting Dr. Cochrane.

When they enter the complex Archer and Gardner are told that one of the scientists died during the explosion. This news will unsettle Archer because when he was 12 he found a dead body whilst he was exploring the then Warp 5 complex.



During this episode Archer will have flashbacks of when he was 12 hanging around the complex as Henry and Dr. Cochrane worked on the warp 5 engine. In his flashback we will see designs over the walls of the yet to be built NX Enterprise (which now show the designs and schematics of the new warp 7 ship, The Daedalus). We will also find out why Cochrane wanted to call the ship Enterprise.

As it turns out it was a Vulcan that did it and after a foot chase thought some of the futuristic streets of San Francisco ensues. Archer learns that he works for a group called 'The Order of the Raptor' on Vulcan as he pins the assailant to the ground. As he lets the Vulcan back up the Vulcan taps a device on is wrist and a white glow consumes him with nothing but ashes left on the ground. At the end Gardner orders the Archer to go to Vulcan to get to the bottom of this group to find out if there is any other terror plot against Earth in the works.
