Chosen Realm
Enterprise
spots a weapon similar to the Xindi
weapon that caused the damage on Earth. They detect a ship
which is badly damaged and life support is failing on. They
take them aboard and they have some injuries. Trip begins
working on their ship while Archer
talks to the leader of the aliens who say they are on a pilgrimage.
T'Paul, Archer and
the alien leader have dinner. He refers to the expanse and
the Chosen Realm. T'Paul argues for the side of silence while
the alien supports religion. One of the aliens goes to sickbay.
Meanwhile the alien leader speaks to some of his followers.
They seem to be plotting to take over the ship.
The alien leader goes to see Archer and tells him that there
are several of his followers around the ship who are willing
to sacrifice their lives using organic explosives and will
do it unless Archer turns control of the ship over to him.
After they have taken control of the ship, the alien tells
Archer that he is going to use Enterprise to eliminate heretics
on his home planet. The alien tells him he has committed crimes
by landing on the spheres and he should kill the whole crew.
However he says he likes Archer and he thinks he is an honourable
man so he tells Archer to select one member of his crew to
die.
He also says he must delete all the data and deletes a lot
of information from the computers databank. Later Archer is
brought reports on the updates. It is brought by the women
who went to see Doctor
Phlox. She is pregnant and wants to give up the baby as
they don't like the way things are going.
The alien tells Archer he looked through his logs and found
out about the prisoner interrogation carried out on Enterprise.
When the alien asks him, he says he has selected himself to
die. However he tricks the aliens and is simply beamed to
another part of the ship. He talks to Phlox and then takes
one of the aliens out.
The sympathising alien goes down to find Lial with another.
Archer takes out the other and makes an appeal to the alien
saying this is not his faith. Meanwhile on the bridge a convoy
of 4 heretic ships arrive but the alien leader tells the heretic
leader they are no match for the Enterprise.
T'Paul tries to stop the alien at tactical from attacking
but is held back. Phlox stuns the alien who is guarding him
and introduces an agent into the air system which will neutralise
the organic explosives. Archer and Reed
capture an alien. He tries to set off an explosive but it
does nothing. They begin talking out the rest of the aliens.
Archer sends a comm to the bridge saying he has changed command
to engineering. Reed leads a team and re-takes the bridge.
They hold off the aliens. The alien leader says nothing is
important except truth. Arther says he will show him some
truth. They head down to the surface of one of the planets
- it's a war zone, hardly anything still stands.
