03x15 - Harbinger

[bunniefuu]

(T'pol)
previously on enterprise:

Whoever built these spheres
may have done it to

Create the expanse.

Why would someone
want to create

A web of
crippling anomalies?

[Grunts]

We believe that it is through
prayer and meditation

That the makers
become manifest.

The makers?

The creator of the spheres.

The quicker you folks
find these xindi,

The quicker we can
get to work.

m*llitary as*ault command.

Captain archer wanted
the best.

I've seen men like hayes
all my life.

Lieutenant?

That had nothing to do with
who knows enterprise

Inside and out.

It had to do with
who the major thinks

Is more capable
of carrying out this rescue.

It's only been a day
since we were enemies.

Giving you the coordinates
to a classified installation

Is difficult.

They're coming in.

The coordinates match
the location of
one of the red giants.

Dr. Phlox says
we have to prepare

For the possibility
that trip won't survive.

(Phlox)
when implanted with d.n.a.
From another species,

It exactly replicates
that species' lifecycle.

It becomes a clone.

You and trip used to spend
a lot of time here together.

(T'pol)
I was instructing him
in the practice

Of vulcan neuro-pressure.

He was really starting to
enjoy those sessions with you.

What's driving me crazy
is I don't know

If these feelings are mine

Or his.

Malcolm can be a tough man
to get to know,

I'll grant you that.

He likes to keep to himself.

This feel ok?

(Woman's voice)
mmm-hmm.

But, you spend enough time
around him,

You come to realize
there's no one

You'd rather have
watching your back.

I thought you said
you weren't ticklish.

I didn't used to be.

Maybe I'm doing this wrong.

Maybe we should try
another position.

Posture? Sure.

Take a seat.

I just get the feeling
that whenever
lieutenant reed

Looks at one of us
he sees the enemy.

I don't think malcolm thinks
of macos as the enemy.

Competition, maybe.

Relax.

This is one of
the first pressure points

T'pol worked on.

Helped me get through
many a night.

Feels great.

Too bad this can't be
a part of our
training routine.

You should bring it up
with hayes.

His training regimen
hasn't changed

Since I joined up.

Major hayes likes consistency.

So does malcolm.

He told me that while he was
in starfleet training,

He ate the exact same
3 meals every day

For a year.

They're definitely cut
from the same cloth.

[Laughs]

Maybe that's why
they get along so well.

How's it feeling?

Still great.

There.

I feel like I've just had
12 hours' sleep.

Well, ah, I guess
I did it right.

Well.

Well.

That was unexpected.

Nothing wrong
with unexpected.

No.

Um, with a little warning.

Consider that
a little warning

For next time.

(Archer)
captain's starlog,
december 27, 2153.

Using the coordinates
we got from degra,

We're en route
to the location

Of the red giant star

And with any luck,
the xindi w*apon.

[Doorbell beeps]

Come in.

You wanted to see me, sir?

I had a conversation with
major hayes this morning.

He wants to put
your security team

And all the senior officers

Through a series
of training drills.

We run drills twice a week.

Senior officers
are free to attend.

These would be different.

They'd be conducted by
major hayes and the macos.

Sir?

We're heading into
a hostile situation.

We don't know what
we're going to face
when we get there.

My people are ready, sir.

The macos' tactics
and technology

Are 2, 3 years
beyond starfleet's.

Why not let them pass on
some of that expertise?

You don't agree.

The macos' expertise

Comes from simulated combat,
all conducted on earth.

On the other hand,
we've fought

Numerous alien species
on many different worlds.

If anything,
we should be giving

The macos the benefit
of our experience.

Hayes and his men
have gone up against

A few aliens on this mission,
including the xindi.

They've handled themselves
pretty well.

I'd like you to coordinate
the training sessions

With the major.

Aye, sir.

Ah, I appreciate your
stopping by so quickly.

What did you want
to ask me?

Are you acquainted with
corporal amanda cole?

[Squeaking]

She's one of the macos.

She was in this morning
with a mild headache.

Says she's been
experiencing it

For a week now.

Every test I ran
came back negative.

Frankly, I was mystified
until she mentioned

She was receiving
vulcan neuro-pressure

From commander tucker.

You believe it's
causing her headaches?

Well, I wanted to ask you.

Neuro-pressure's a highly
specialized discipline.

Commander tucker's only been
receiving it for
a couple of months.

I thought it was possible
that he might have misapplied

One of its techniques.

It's possible.

Well, I've already spoken
to corporal cole

About using caution,

But I was wondering
if you might have a word
with commandertucker

Perhaps during your, uh,
next session with him.

Gladly.

Ah.

Everything all right?

Yes.

If there's nothing else.

Oh, th-there is, uh,

One other thing.

If you find time,
perhaps you could schedule

A neuro-pressure session
with corporal cole, hmm?

Maybe undo some of
commander tucker's work.

Ok, tuesday, wednesday,
and friday.

How does 0800 sound?

I prefer to train
in the evenings.

Any reason?

You get a better workout.

Muscles are looser,
reaction time's quicker.

How about tuesdays
and fridays in the morning,

Wednesdays in the evening?

How about tuesdays
and fridays in the evenings,

And wednesday in the morning?

You're not
making this very easy.

I'm not trying to
make it difficult.

With all due respect,

I think that's exactly
what you're trying to do.

"With all due respect"?

Is that what you call
circumventing my authority?

I wasn't aware
I'd done that.

What did you think you were
doing when you went to the
captain with this proposal?

If I'd come to you first,

You'd have
turned me down flat.

You're probably right. But
the decision was mine to make.

I didn't mean to deprive you
of the opportunity.

I think that's exactly
what you meant to do.

Whatever you
might think, sir,

My only concern
is the successful outcome

Of this mission.

As is mine.

Tuesdays and fridays,
in the evenings.

What's the problem?

I can't understand it,
captain.

It's like the stars
keep shifting positions.

What do you mean?

There.
They just did it again.

Maybe it's one
of the navigational sensors.

I've already run
2 diagnostics.

I can't find anything wrong.

I think I have the cause.

An unusually strong
gravimetric disturbance

Approximately
3 light-years away.

Let's go take a look.

It appears to be
a convergence

Of spatial anomalies.

It's more than
700 million kilometers
in diameter.

Captain, I'm picking up
an intermittent signal.

Very faint.

An object, approximately
5 meters in length.

Let's see it.

It's just a few hundred meters
from the edge.

I'm reading one bio-sign.

Humanoid.

Could be an escape pod.

Are there any other ships
in the vicinity?

None.

The bio-signs
are very erratic.

Bring the grappler online.

Try again.

I'll see if I can compensate.

[Beeping]

Travis?

[Coughs]

We're losing systems
all over the ship.

Helm's not responding.

There are rising levels
of ammonium sulphide

In the atmosphere.

Archer to engineering.

(Trip)
commander tucker.

The helm's not responding.

We need full reverse
right away.

I'm on it.

Helm's back online.

Get us out of here.

Love to.

We're ready to
open the hatch.

(Phlox)
he's suffering from

A form of rapid
cellular degeneration.

Do you think
you can stop it?

I don't know yet.

I've managed to revive him,

But he's in
a fair amount of pain.

I'm captain archer.

You had no right
to bring me here.

We were tryin'
to save your life.

I didn't ask for your help.

Return me to my ship.

Your vessel has
minimal life support.

You wouldn't last too long
if we took you back.

That's none of your concern.

What was that
pod designed to do?

I'm not answering
any of your questions.

You're dying.

We're doing everything we can
for you, but...

Take me back to my ship!

[Groans]

He may be going into shock.

[Groaning]

How's it coming?

(Mayweather)
good, sir. We're adjusting
the nav sensors

To compensate for
the gravimetric waves.

Get us underway
as soon as you can.

Just need a day to upload
and test these corrections.

Learn anything?

A great deal.

The disturbance appears
to be expanding

At a rate of
several kilometers per second,

And its location
is exactly equidistant

To 5 of the spheres.

Do you think the spheres
have something to do

With creating this thing?

It's possible.

This planet was once
an inhabited world.

It was engulfed
some time ago.

I couldn't find
any signs of life.

Maybe the alien we picked up
is the last survivor.

A possibility.

I want you and trip
to take a look at the pod.

If we can't revive
the alien,

It maybe our best source
of information.

We incorporate elements
from numerous disciplines.

It's extremely effective
in hand-to-hand situations.

What I'd like to do now

Is break up
into sparring pairs,

Run through some of the moves
you just saw.

Let's get started.

(Hayes)
try the combination.

Nice cross.

Excellent.

Effective combination.

[Grunts]

[Grunts]

You were looking at his hands
when you should've been
watching his eyes.

[Chuckles]

Good match.

All right,
why don't we take 5 minutes...

That's all for today.

We still have the shoulder
throws to cover.

Session is over.

Ok.

For next time,
work on your forearm blocks,

And the elbow strikes.

Dismissed.

What the hell was that?

That was
a sparring demonstration.

It was way out of line.

That last throw
was completely unnecessary.

He was on his feet.
That made him fair game.

Fair game?

It's just
a little blood, sir.

No one got hurt.

These are
training sessions, major.

If your men can't
understand that,

Then I'm gonna put
a stop to this right now.

Is that clear?

Perfectly.

Jolly good.

I think it's a transmitter.

I just can't
pinpoint the frequency.

Dr. Phlox has asked me
to speak with you.

What about?

Corporal cole has been
experiencing headaches.

The doctor believes
they might be caused

By your
neuro-pressure sessions.

She never said anything
about headaches.

Perhaps she didn't want
to worry you.

Why would neuro-pressure
be the cause?

It shouldn't be
performed by novices.

If misapplied,
you could cause nerve damage.

I performed it on you
plenty of times.

Under my supervision.

I see.

You want to supervise me
and corporal cole?

I think it would
simply be best

If you ended the sessions.

These electrodes
were collecting

Biometric data
from the occupant.

Amanda won't be too happy
about ending the sessions.

I'm sure she won't.

What do you mean by that?

I've noticed that
you and corporal cole

Have become
somewhat friendly.

Friendly?

Last week you
were eating together

In the mess hall,

And in the training session
yesterday
she touched your behind.

[Laughing]

[Clears throat]

You've been keeping
a pretty close eye on us.

You're hard to miss.

Look, amanda and I

Just share a lot of interests,
that's all.

We both come from florida.

There's no reason
to justify your behavior.

I'm simply suggesting
you might use some discretion.

Discretion?

It's not appropriate
for a senior officer

To fraternize
with a subordinate.

She's not starfleet.

There's nothing
inappropriate about it.

[Electronic beeping]

What's wrong?

We need to get this data
to the captain immediately.

There's no mistake.

The pod's hull contains
the exact combination

Of alloys we found on
the surface of the spheres.

You remember
the triannon creation myth?

They believe that
the spheres were created

By divine beings

Who would one day return
to the chosen realm.

And that
the spheres were reshaping

The expanse into a paradise
for the faithful.

Perhaps triannon mythology
has a basis in fact.

It appears the pod
was designed to transmit data

Regarding the alien's
physiological status.

I believe he was inserted
into the disturbance

So someone could monitor
his exposure
to the environment.

A canary.

On earth,
miners used to take canaries

Into the tunnels with them.

If the canary didn't die,

The miners knew the air
would be safe to breathe,

And they could proceed.

(Phlox)
his condition has worsened.

He's literally disintegrating,

And there doesn't seem to be
any way to stop it.

I want to talk to him again.

I don't even know
if I can revive him.

Find a way.

Captain, this man is dying
a painful death.

To keep him conscious
is unethical.

Until I get
the answers I need,

We're gonna have to
bend a few ethics.

Very well.
I'll do what I can.

Notify me
when he's conscious.

Corporal.

Come in.

Thank you, ma'am.

I appreciate your doing this.

Please, sit down.

Remove your jacket.

I assume commander tucker
briefed you

On the proper
breathing technique.

He did.

Begin with a deep breath.

[Inhales]

Good.

[Exhales]

Dr. Phlox did caution you
against any further

Neuro-pressure
from commander tucker?

I got the lecture.

You and commander tucker

Appear to enjoy
each other's company.

Hmm. We do have
a lot in common.

Did he tell you we grew up

Less than 50 kilometers
from each other?

He didn't mention it.

Our high schools were rivals.

We went to
the same movie theatres.

What are the odds?

Extremely low.

Unfortunately,
neither of our hometowns

Exists anymore.

They were both destroyed
in the att*ck.

Did you lose any relatives?

My family moved up north
a few years ago.

I was lucky.

Commander tucker was
greatly affected

By his sister's death.

He talks about her a lot.

You're quite fond of him.

Hmm.

What's not to like?

He's a gentleman.

He's great to be around.

And he has very nice arms.

[Grunts]

I apologize.

I'll try not to
press so hard.

(Hayes)
we developed this specialized
training system

At jupiter station
a few months ago.

The goal is to
hit as many targets

As you can in 10 seconds.

Lieutenant,
if you're up for it?

Fall back.

Start him off at level 2.

4 Targets in 10 seconds.

Not bad for a first go.

But you might schedule
a little extra practice time.

Kick it up to level 4.

9 Hits.
That's a mid-range score.

Corporal cole here
has the record:

14 Hits at level 4.

I was having a lucky day.

Ok, let's do some sh**ting.

We'll start at level 2
and work our way up.

Who'd like to go next?

That target practice
was somethin'.

Sure looked a lot easier
than it was.

You don't say.

Oh, come on.

Your score got a lot better
as the session went on.

I started picturing
hayes' head

In place of the target.

You two really ought to
declare a truce.

Oh, no.

This is a fight
to the death.

I guess if I were
in your shoes,

I'd be just as upset.

He's determined to take over

The security of this ship,
you know.

You really believe that?

Everything he does
points to the fact.

It could also be
that he wants

Everyone to be
as prepared as possible.

You have to admit,
the extra training

Isn't such a bad idea.

Just drop it.

Ok.

So why don't you
tell me about

You and miss cole?

We're friends.

Is everyone on this ship
watchin' us?

You're pretty hard to miss.

That's what t'pol said.

Is it true she's giving
amanda neuro-pressure now?

So?

I heard it was damage control
from your tender touch.

T'pol's just smoothing out
some of the rough spots,
that's all.

And why were you
giving amanda cole

Neuro-pressure, anyway?

What's it to you?

From what I'm told, it's
a pretty intimate procedure

For just friends.

I do it with t'pol.

Are you implying there's
somethin' going on
there as well?

That's the rumor.

Look, for the last time,

There's nothin' going on
with any of us.

Between any of us.

Right.
You're all just friends.

That's right.

Oh.

I guess this
vulcan neuro-pressure

Isn't that
intimate after all.

Exactly.

In that case,

I've got a nasty
little pain just...

Just drop it.

[Laughs]

(Archer)
we know you were sent here

As some kind of
a test subject.

The region of space
where we found you,

What is it?

[Groans]

His pain medication
is wearing off.

Hold off a second.
Captain.

I was sent against my will.

I'm not from
your part of space.

I come from
a trans-dimensional realm.

Keep going.

I don't know why
I was sent here.

I find that hard to believe.

It's the truth.

I was a prisoner.

Because of my transgressions,

I've spent my entire
adult life inside a cell.

One day,
the guards offered me freedom

If I would participate
in an experiment.

I agreed.

That's all I remember
before I woke up here.

We found you
drifting in a pod,

Hooked up to banks
of monitoring equipment.

You're telling me
you have no idea why?

The experiment was
important to them.

They wouldn't abandon me.

Take me back.

That's impossible.

If you don't, I'll die.
Please!

What's happening to me?

What's happening to me?

(Archer)
captain's starlog,
supplemental.

With travis'
adjustments in place,

We've resumed course
for the red giant.

Between all this training

And the extra shifts
in engineering,

I've been looking
forward to this all day.

Sit up.

You aren't sayin'
much tonight.

Don't tell me you're still
upset about me and amanda.

I'm not upset.

It sure sounds like it.

You're mistaken.

Why would a few
neuro-pressure sessions

Between me and a maco
be such a big deal?

[Exhales]

Unless...

Unless what?

Unless you're
a little jealous.

I don't experience jealousy.

You're doing a pretty
fair imitation of it.

I am not, in any way,

Jealous of you
and corporal cole.

You know,
your voice is tensin' up.

It's a dead giveaway.

I didn't know
you were an expert

In vocal inflections.

I don't need to be
an expert to read you.

Come on, admit it.

You're a little jealous.

You're implying that
I'm attracted to you.

That kind of goes along
with the assumption,
doesn't it?

I think you're mistaken about
who's attracted to whom.

Are you sayin'
I'm attracted to you?

I don't need to say it.
You already have.

I... I don't remember
that conversation.

It wasn't you,
it was your clone.

Sim told me.

Sim?

He said he had
feelings for me.

He told you that?

Standing right there.

What the hell was he
doin' in your room?

Your voice is tensing up.

Now you're
the vocal expert.

I don't need to be
an expert to read you.

I can't believe this.

I'm... I'm jealous
of... Of myself?

You're jealous?

No, absolutely not.

[Sighing]

Ok, maybe.

Maybe I am. A little.

Which would mean
you're attracted to me.

It goes with the assumption.

What just happened here?

Did we... Are we?

You're not like
the others on this ship.

They're from
a different world than I am.

What are they called,
your 2 worlds?

Mine is called denobula.

My shipmates are from earth.

Am I going to die?

I'm doing everything I can.

I'm grateful to you
for trying, doctor.

Try to rest.

[Grunts]

Hey, leaving so soon?

I don't want
to distract you.

It's no distraction.

In fact, I could use
a sparring partner.

If you're up for it.

Always.

Good forearm block.
Nice back fist.

Show me the combination.

Faster on that combination.

You're improving.

You want to keep
that left up.

That's it, stay loose.
Excellent.

You're improving.

[Grunts]

See?
You were looking at my hands

When you should have been
looking at my eyes.

Ok, lieutenant.

Major.

[Grunts]

Tell me something.

What?

Why won't you
let me do my job?

Because you're here
to enhance

The combat capacity
of this crew,

Not take over security.

Is that what
this is all about?

You think I wanna
replace you?

You just can't stand taking
orders from me, can you?

[Grunts]

I have no problems
taking orders from you.

[Grunting]

After lunar survival training,

I can handle
just about anything.

Good sparring with you.

(Reed)
hey!

[Grunts]

As you were.

[Grunts]

[Panting]

What was that?

It's a little klingon move
I picked up.

(Archer)
tactical alert.

Senior officers
to their posts.

He's disrupting
systems as he goes.

We can use that
to track him.

That was
the secondary relay coupling.

He's on b-deck.

Between the a-1
and a-3 bulkheads.

We're coming up
on access tube 17-baker.

He's moving
in your direction.

Can you be any more specific?

Malcolm, status!

(Reed)
our weapons had
no effect on him.

He's heading toward
the center of the ship.

Archer to engineering.

Tucker.

Lieutenant!

[Groans]

Magnetic containment
is fluctuating.

We need to reverse polarity
on the plasma coils.

It'll trigger
a feedback pulse.

Turn the t-valve
all the way to the left.

(Hayes)
all right.

Let's see if you can
handle this.

[Screaming]

Mornin'.

Commander.

Coffee, strong.

Some night.

Eventful.

I don't know who did
more damage to the engine,

The alien or malcolm.

How long before
we can get underway?

[Sighs]
another day, at least.

I, uh, I guess
we should talk about

What happened last night.

I've been briefed
on the situation.

Well, I was referring to

What happened between us

In your quarters.

I guess I'll go first.

I...

Actually,
why don't you go first?

I suppose
I should thank you.

No need to thank me.

For facilitating
my exploration

Of human sexuality.

I'm not sure I follow.

It's one of the many aspects
of your species

Which I've been
meaning to explore

Since I left
the high command.

[Laughs]

Sounds like
you're sayin' last night

Was some kind of experiment.

I wouldn't use that term.

But that's the general idea.

Are you getting emotional?

No, I'm not
getting emotional,

I just don't like
being compared to a lab rat.

I'm sorry
if I offended you.

Forget it.

I'd, uh, appreciate it
if we could

Keep this between us.

In fact, we should probably
just forget it ever happened.

Agreed.

Doesn't mean we
can't keep doin'

The neuro-pressure, though.

Dr. Phlox says you have
a detached retina,

A bruised left kidney.

We're in a dangerous
region of space.

We're trying to
stop an alien race
from destroying earth.

We face att*cks
from all sides.

Enemies everywhere we go.

The last thing I need
is to hear

That 2 of my senior officers

Have been admitted
to sickbay because

They suddenly regressed
to the level of 5 year olds!

Captain...
Don't try to tell me
who started it!

I don't know what
the problem is between you two

And to tell you the truth

I don't care, but I want it
settled right now!

Settle it! That's an order!

There's no problem,
captain.

It's settled, sir.

How are the drills going?

Good, sir.

Very good, sir.

[Electronic beep]

Archer.

(Phlox)
please come to sickbay,
captain.

The alien has
regained consciousness.

On my way.

Think we're dismissed?

I'm afraid there's nothin'
I can do.

You weren't sent here
against your will.

You knew exactly
what your mission was.

What were your people
trying to do?

You tried to destroy my ship!
Why?

Answer me!

When the xindi destroy earth,

My people will prevail.

[Grunts]
