I cant change what ive done. She doesnt deserve imprisonment. I want her released. Not until weve confirmed their story. My daughter wouldnt lie. Shes not merely your daughter. Shes a member of starfleet and starfleet has allied with the high command. Theyll both remain where they are until im satisfied they can be trusted. Search patrols are flying day and night. Theyre the least of our worries now. If syrran is dead. Then everything weve worked for is lost. I cant believe they threw you out. Just because you helped us . I knew the risks. Theres gotta to be some way you can fight this. I could protest, but it wouldnt accomplish anything. Vlas isnt one to change his mind. Who the hell put him in charge anyway . Vlas has demonstrated a singular talent for governing. What are you going to do now . If youre referring to my career, i havent given it much thought. Theres something more important we need to discuss. Have you made contact with tpol or your captain . We cant reach them and they cant reach us. Vlas is determined to wipe out the syrrannites. Hes particularly intent on destroying campment in the forge. Where the captain and tpol are headed. They may be in grave danger. I cant understand how you could join these people. Ive been growing disillusioned with Vulcan Society for some time. When i was forced to resign from the academy, i began seriously to question my beliefs. Andthisis where you came for answers . Syrrannites believe that vulcans achings of surak. Considering what the high command has done in recent years the listening station at pjem, the suppression of dissent our position isnt so hard to accept. You could have told me all this when i came to visit. The high command was just beginning to hunt down suspected syrrannites. I was afraid i would be next. I wanted to keep you out of it. I know your marriage to koss was for my sake. T want your apologies, mother. I want you to come back with me. I cant do that. When you gave me that map, you knew id try to find you. I thought that if you could see what we were trying to accomplish. That id understand . That id join you . I held out that hope, yes. Its possible i was being foolish. Vulcan war is taking its toll. Vulcan is tearing itself apart. Who are you . You know who i am, captain. Hard to believe this will become known as the time of awakening. That was 1,800 years ago. This doesnt feel like a dream. He chose you. chuckles you dont trust vulcans, captain. And given your experiences with them, i cant say i blame you. The culture youve come to know isnt the one i helped to create. My people have strayed, and someone must restore them to the path. Youve got the wrong man. Sorry, captain. An earth expression, were stuck with each other. Dont fight whats been given to you. Open your mind and your heart and the way will become clear. Tpol captain. Weve pinpointed their location near the northeastern border of the forge. How accurate is this information . Its based on Data Collected by search patrols. Theyve been conducting missions for several days. Were going to bombard the camp. With photonic weapons. Our goal isnt to exterminate these people. Our goal. Is to maintain order. Theyre in the deep desert. Eventually, theyre going to have to leave the forge, and when they do, we can apprehend them with little or no loss of life. Its very likely that syrran himself is inside the compound. With one decisive thrust, we can cripple this insurgency perhaps. End it. We cant let an opportunity like this pass us by. A Surgical Strike could minimize the loss of life. The geomagnetic anomalies make a precision attack impossible. This is the only way. Well begin preparations immediately. This man, did he tell you his name . He seemed to think i knew who he was. Did you . It was surak. We believe you. Syrran possessed thekatraof surak. Ed to think that. Until i learned to open up my mind to other possibilities. If syrran knew he was close to death, he wouldve tried to transfer thekatrato someone else. I was near him when he died. There is only one way to be certain. I have to meld with you. Ive had my fill of mindmelds. The prospect doesnt appeal to me, either. Ive never melded with a human before. Your. Unchecked emotions will, no doubt, prove distasteful. However, i ask your indulgence. My mind. To your mind. Our minds are merging. Both our minds are one. Were in the desert. Theres a storm. We find refuge iin a cave. Sandlightning. Our minds are not alone. Theres someone else i sense his presence. gasps tpau . exhales he has thekatra. sighs soval we can trigger a malfunction in this satellites imaging node. Itll take six minutes for the central processor to correct the error. That should be enough time to slip through the net. Occur frequently near the forge. It shouldnt raise suspicion. Mind if i ask you something . Why are you doing this . I never got the impression you cared that much about humans. Seems like. You were always finding something new to complain about. I lived on earth for more than 30 years, commander. In that time, i developed an affinity for your world and its people. Thank you. Mayweather launch bay to commander tucker. Go ahead, travis. We should be ready within the hour. What about helm control . Ive rigged up a stickandrudder system. Itll get us where we want to go, but i cant promise a smooth ride. Just dont tell malcolm about that part until youre underway. Tpol centuries ago, katricarks . Polycrystalline vessels. Allegedly used by ancient vulcans to preservekatras. They were scanned, analyzed. One of the scientists even attempted to meld with them. They found nothing to indicate the presence of akatra. The Vulcan Science Academy was just as skeptical about time travel. Do you really believe you possess a man who died 1,800 years ago . Not when you put it like that. There is a logical explanation. Im listening. Syrran melded with you before he died. What youre experiencing is the residue of his thoughts. So im suffering from. A mindmeld hangover . But essentially. It feels like. More than that. You have no basis for comparison. Youve never undergone a mindmeld before. Seeing surak is only a part of it. I could swear ive been here before, in this sanctuary. Its like coming back to the house you grew up in. Syrran spent a great deal of time here. , and it was just a mindmeld. He still put something in my head. And i want it taken out. That may not be possible. What can we do for you . Where is your captain . Hes indisposed at the moment. Can i help you . You have a suspect. The evidence against him and the syrrannites is compelling. Theres no longer any need for your presence here. If its all the same to you, wed like to stick around. Wed prefer you didnt. This is an internal matter. Well keep starfleet apprised if there are any subsequent developments. Excellency. Again, you have my deepest sympathy for your loss. All of vulcan grieves with you. Not until we know exactly what happened. Ive also contacted admiral gardner. Im sure youll be hearing from him soon. A pleasant journey. Son of a bitch hung up on us. Should i try to get him back . No one here has ever performed this ritual. Ive studied it for some time. I believe i can conduct it successfully. The risks are acceptable. I doubt surak would agree. What alternative would you suggest . That we follow this human . I believe your prejudice toward humans is clouding your judgment. You question my logic . Syrran chose to place thekatrain archer. Now, he must have had his reasons, even if we dont understand them. The reason is obvious he was dying. He had to choose archer. That may be. But we do have a choice. Now, for the sake of everyone involved, i ask you to reconsider. Ive made my decision. Ill perform the procedure in one hour. And if archer dies . You know. Im the one with a vulcan ghost in his head, depending on who you believe. But i dont feel half as bad as you look. Im considering our options. At least we know your mothers okay. Shes joined a violent cult. Shes not okay. You sound convinced. Lets just say its more than a gut feeling. Weve come to a decision thekatramust be removed. I cant argue with that. Theres a procedure, a ritual. It will transfer thekatra to another person. Its not without risk. Vulcan neurology is exceptionally resilient, but a humans. Tles the shock to your nervous system will be severe. It could kill you. You must decline. Were not offering a choice. Youd do this by force . Wed prefer that you undertake the ritual willingly. It will stand a better chance of success. Lets get started. Captain. Its my call. Tucker admiral gardner followed the vulcan line straight down the middle. He wants us out of here yesterday. Did you tell him about the captain and tpol . I left that part out. Enterprisewas supposed to leave orbit an hour ago. Vlas is not a patient man. Theres not a whole lot he can do about it. Hell of a job, travis. Thank you, sir. Just find them and bring them back, understood. Weve got a recon satellite to jam. Vulcan commander enterprisehasnt left orbit. Theyre maintaining a stationary position above the forge. Keep monitoring them. Yes, excellency. We cant proceed with the operation while the earth ship is there. Youre concerned about witnesses. Gardner gave them an order to leave. I heard the transmission. So were now monitoring their communications . I intend to find out what it is. Passed down through the ages, thekatraof surak, father of all we hold true, lives on in this man. Let it now live on in me. speaking vulcan tpau speaking vulcan surak. groans good to see you again, captain. My appearance must be quite disconcerting. I apologize. Radiation sickness . Were paying a heavy price for our foolishness. Logic has not won this day. But this day wont last forever. Logic is at the heart of every vulcan. Even as the ashes fall, my people are discovering a new way. But syrran. Was a vulcan and youre human, which means you are untouched by a culture that can no longer see its own imminent destruction. We cannot let what happened to the vulcans of my time take place again. Find what my people have lost. Ns find the kirshara. both gasp captain. gasping i failed. The satellites been disabled. Theyve got six minutes to get through. Travis, its all yours. Probably shouldve skipped breakfast this morning. Theyre through. Were losing contact. These thermals are only going to get stronger. The plasmacannons are still working. But i cant say the same for the targeting sensors. We must be getting close to the geomagnetic field. Doesnt seem to be affecting them. They must have better shielding. Ill have to aim manually. Theyve slipped below us. Weve lost part of the starboard wing we have to abort. I think i can get us down. You wont be able to get us back up. Thrusters are offline. Well have to fire the chemical rockets. Hang on. Theyve been fired on. They took damage, but theyre heading back toenterprise. I guess six minutes wasnt enough. Three ships closing on our position. console beeps sato were being hailed. Its administrator vlas. Why did you launch a shuttlepod . Why the hell did you fire on it . You had no authorization. Answer the question. Were looking for our captain. Archers on the surface . Hes in the forge searching for the syrrannites. You were ordered to leave orbit. I assume you assisted in disabling the security satellite. I gave them the code. Commander tucker. Youre to break orbit immediately. Were not leaving without the captain. You will leave immediately, tles how is he . His breathing has stabilized, but his fever is still high. He agreed to the ritual. If he hadnt, you would have forced him. You claim that suraks teachings have been corrupted by the high command, but youre no different. There is a profound difference. You deceive yourself. Tpol. I shouldnt have come here looking for you. And i dont want anything more to do with you. How long have i been out . More than three hours. I feel like. I just pulled my head out of a. Plasma relay. You should rest. Thekirshara. What do you know about it . It was important to surak. And its in there. Whats thekirshara . An artifact. Syrran led us here to find it. If he knows where it is. Telescopes have sighted three vulcan cruisers in orbit over the forge. The high command knows were here. We should evacuate immediately. I can find it. That one missed us by 20 meters. Tactical alert. Polarize hull plating. How many warning shots do vulcans usually fire . None. Vlas. Im running out of patience, commander. Weve been over this. Our captain and first officer are down there. Well make sure theyre returned to you. Break orbit, now. You really think hell do it . Vlas will do what whatever it takes to accomplish his goal. Vulcan and earth have been allies for a hundred years. Surely they must have seen our ships by now. If they evacuate into the forge, ant wait any longer. Driveenterprisefrom orbit. Use all necessary force. Vulcan commander yes, excellency. Phasecannons return fire. The vulcan ships are firing onenterprise. We could be next. Take charge of the evacuation. Well meet you on the forge as soon as we can. You cant stay here. Ive spent two years searching for the artifact. If theres a chance of finding it. Tpol. Im staying. Reroute emergency power to phasecannons. Hull breach on c deck. Theyre reporting casualties. Vlas is hailing. Audio only. Put him through. Youre hopelessly outgunned, weapons are offline, engines failing. Dont force me to destroy your ship. Hes right. We should withdraw. Our deaths wont help captain archer or tpol. Get us the hell out of here. Begin bombardment of the compound. Tklass. He was a student of surak one of the first kolinahrmasters. Tpol theres no inscription. Nothing to indicate his bloodline. How do you know his name . Were getting close. deep rumbling ere. clicking, unlatching i had my doubts whether it really existed. This way. Report. Vulcan commander geomagnetic interference. We cant get a target lock. Vulcan commander the sanctuarys been destroyed. Comb the desert. Make sure there are no survivors. Vulcan commander affirmative. Youre presiding over a massacre. Weare eliminating a threat. Are you all right . Im fine. We should keep moving. groaning captain. I was afraid you were still inside. Its all right. We found thekirshara. gasps you have always struggled so with your emotions. I came here. I did all this to help you. I dont understand. You will. groans mother. Ive always been so proud of you. I understand we suffered casualties. Injuries. Two of them serious. I share your concern about captain archer and tpol. Theyve been in tough jams before. What does the high command have against the syrrannites . They went to a lot of trouble to frame them for the embassy bombing. The syrrannites believe violence to be antithetical to suraks teachings. So, theyre pacifists. Particularly now. What do you mean . The high command is planning to attack andoria. Wait, wait. Vulcan and andoria signed a peace treaty two years ago. Captain archer helped negotiate it. Vulcan intelligence claims the andorians are developing a weapon, possibly based on xindi technology. You dont believe it. I suspect vlas is using the claim to advance an agenda. Hes going to start an interstellar war. One that could devastate andoria and vulcan and eventually involve other worlds. Including earth. Set a course for andoria. Andoria . Maximum warp. birds chirping machinery whirring lets go, guys. Come on. radio playing police open the door do it. Were looking for.
