In a [[corridor]] on the [[Orpheus Mining colony|Orpheus mining facility]] on [[Luna]], [[Earth]]'s [[moon]], [[John Frederick Paxton|Paxton]] and [[Mercer]] confer on the health of a baby girl &ndash; a [[Vulcan]]-[[Human]] [[hybrid]]. "''She looks so innocent. It's almost possible to forget what she represents''", Paxton notes.
[[January|January 19]], [[2155]] &ndash; In the [[Orpheus Mining Colony|Orpheus mining facility]] on [[Luna]], [[Earth]]'s [[moon]], [[John Frederick Paxton|Paxton]] and [[Mercer]] confer on the health of a baby girl &ndash; a [[Vulcan]]-[[Human]] [[Inter-species reproduction|hybrid]]. Meanwhile, on Earth, the [[Enterprise (NX-01) personnel|''Enterprise'' crew]] has been called home to appear at a meeting of Human and [[alien]] delegates discussing the formation of a "[[Coalition of Planets]]". Everyone applauds after a speech by [[Nathan Samuels]], presiding over the convention &ndash; everyone except [[Charles Tucker III|Trip Tucker]], whom [[Jonathan Archer]] orders to clap. While [[Phlox]] remarks that he enjoyed Samuels' speech, the rest of the crew is dismayed by Samuels' failure to mention their contributions, without which the meeting would not be taking place. As the meeting adjourns and the crew begins to leave, Samuels compliments [[Hoshi Sato]] on improvements she made to the [[universal translator]]. [[Travis Mayweather]] is intercepted by [[Gannet Brooks]], a reporter covering the event &ndash; an old flame who still expresses romantic interest. Across the room, [[T'Pol]] confides to Archer that Tucker had a point &ndash; the ''Enterprise'' crew was responsible for making the event possible &ndash; just before a medical technician, [[Susan Khouri]], approaches and gives her a vial containing a [[hair follicle]]. Khouri warns "''they're going to kill her''", then collapses, fatally wounded from a [[phase pistol]] shot to the abdomen.

=== Act One ===
Archer, Tucker, T'Pol, and [[Malcolm Reed]] join Phlox in the ''Enterprise'' [[sickbay]] a while later, after Phlox has analyzed the hair follicle. [[DNA]] testing reveals that the hybrid child is Tucker and T'Pol's offspring. Shortly, T'Pol is meditating in her quarters when Tucker arrives to discuss the matter. T'Pol assures him she was never pregnant, yet somehow knows the child is theirs. Archer meets with Samuels elsewhere on the ship; Samuels refuses to let the news of the child out into public, afraid it will stir anti-alien sentiments which have been heightened since the [[Xindi]] attack [[2153|the year before]], and fuel such factions as the [[Terra Prime]] movement, which could hurt the burgeoning coalition. Samuels urges Archer to let [[Starfleet]] conduct the legal investigation. However, at Archer's request, Reed meets in [[San Francisco]] at night with [[Harris (Section 31)|Harris]], the [[Section 31]] agent, for information. Harris tells Reed that by agreeing to see him, Reed is acknowledging he still works for Section 31. According to Harris, Khouri was a member of Terra Prime, and if the crew can find the child, they'll find the answers to the mystery of its origin.

Meanwhile, on [[Earth]], the [[Enterprise (NX-01) personnel|''Enterprise'' crew]] has been called home to appear at a meeting of Human and [[alien]] delegates discussing the formation of a "[[Coalition of Planets]]". Everyone applauds after a speech by [[Nathan Samuels]], presiding over the convention &ndash; everyone except [[Charles Tucker III|Trip Tucker]], whom [[Jonathan Archer]] orders to clap louder than he currently is. While [[Phlox]] remarks that he enjoyed Samuels' speech, the rest of the crew is dismayed by Samuels' failure to mention their contributions, without which the meeting would not be taking place. As the meeting adjourns and the crew begins to leave, Samuels compliments [[Hoshi Sato]] on the recent improvements she made to the [[universal translator]]. [[Travis Mayweather]] is intercepted by [[Gannet Brooks]], a reporter covering the event &ndash; an old flame who still expresses romantic interest. Across the room, [[T'Pol]] confides to Archer that Tucker had a point &ndash; the ''Enterprise'' crew was responsible for making the event possible &ndash; just before a medical technician, [[Susan Khouri]], approaches and gives her a vial containing a [[hair follicle]]. Khouri warns "''they're going to kill her''", then collapses, fatally wounded from a [[phase-pistol]] shot to the abdomen.
In Paxton's office on the [[Luna|moon]], Paxton and Mercer discuss Khouri's &ndash; and Mercer's &ndash; allegiances where the child is concerned. Mercer is conflicted over Paxton's plans for the baby, but denies it. Paxton calls the child "an abomination" and claims "when the time comes, it will be treated as such". Paxton sends for [[Daniel Greaves]] after Mercer departs and tells him to put together "a team" and to meet him at the "third junction in one hour".
 
   
 
Archer, Tucker, T'Pol, and [[Malcolm Reed]] join Phlox in the ''Enterprise'' [[sickbay]] a while later, after Phlox has analyzed the [[hair follicle]]. Extensive [[DNA]] testing by Dr. Phlox reveals that the hybrid child is Tucker and T'Pol's offspring. Shortly, T'Pol is meditating in her quarters when Tucker arrives to discuss the matter. T'Pol assures him she was never pregnant, yet somehow knows the child is theirs. Archer meets with Samuels elsewhere on the ship; Samuels refuses to let the news of the child out into public, afraid it will stir anti-alien sentiments which have been heightened since the [[Xindi]] attack [[2153|the year before]], and fuel such factions as the [[Terra Prime]] movement, which could hurt the burgeoning coalition. Samuels urges Archer to let [[Starfleet]] conduct the legal investigation. However, at Archer's request, Reed meets in [[San Francisco]] at night with {{dis|Harris|Section 31}}, the shadowy [[Section 31]] agent, for information. Harris notes that Reed [[Divergence (episode)|had asked]] him not to ever contact him again but Reed says ''he'' contacted him. Harris tells Reed that by agreeing to see him, Reed is acknowledging he still works for Section 31. According to Harris, Khouri was a member of Terra Prime, and if the crew can find the child, they'll find the answers to the mystery of its origin.
On Earth, Archer pays Samuels a visit in the delegates' conference hall, where the [[Coridan]] [[ambassador]] argues with the Earth statesman. The [[Tellarite]]s have been pushing for a trade [[embargo]] against the [[Orion]]s, who have supposedly been attacking Tellarite freighters, which the ambassador dismisses as "Tellarite slander", citing that Coridan has traded with the Orions for centuries, and warns that his people will never agree to such sanctions. As Archer joins them, Samuels introduces him to the ambassador, who excuses himself to go discuss diplomatic affairs with his government. The Starfleet chief investigator has rejected Archer's request for a case file; Archer asks Samuels to intervene. After Samuels initially refuses, Archer reveals that he has learned Samuels was once a member of Terra Prime himself, which Samuels calls a mistake of youth, blaming a [[Denobulan]] [[pilot]] for his father's death in a flight accident. Samuels realizes he underestimated Archer and agrees to get him the case file.

Brooks comes to see Mayweather in his [[quarters]]; she claims she's doing a story on ''Enterprise'' from the crew's perspective. They get into an argument over their past romantic relationship, but Mayweather agrees to give her a tour of the ship. In sickbay, Tucker discusses his doubts over whether T'Pol is telling the truth with Phlox, which Phlox dismisses as foolish. Tucker says his father always wanted a granddaughter, which he bugged [[Elizabeth Tucker|Tucker's sister]] about constantly. Phlox points out that he got his wish.

In his lunar complex office, Paxton watches a video recording of [[Colonel]] [[Phillip Green|Green]], made three years after a cease-fire ended [[World War III]]. Greaves enters; they discuss the moral implications of Green's genocidal policies, before Greaves hands him a diskette containing a status report on the Vulcan-Human child's condition. After Greaves leaves, Paxton self-administers a hypodermic injection to his neck.

Mayweather and Brooks' tour ends up in [[launch bay]] 1. When asked by the reporter which of {{dis|shuttlepod|22nd century}} he used [[The Council (episode)|to penetrate]] a [[Delphic Expanse sphere|sphere]] in the [[Delphic Expanse]], he replies that it was ''[[Shuttlepod 1]]''. The two open the shuttlepod's hatch and go inside. Mayweather remarks that the crew is using the shuttlepods less and less due to everyone becoming comfortable with the use of the [[transporter]]. Mayweather remarks that when he saw Brooks at the conference earlier, he began to rethink some of the decisions he had made in his life. When she makes a [[joke]] about him now beginning to open up to her, he chides her for it. She tells him it is one of her bad habits and then suddenly [[kiss]]es him. She admits another bad habit of hers is being unable to hide her attraction to someone. "''You and your bad habits...''", Mayweather remarks and then begins to passionately kiss her further.
While Mayweather and Brooks tour the ship, rekindling their romance, elsewhere the crew discusses Khouri's autopsy from her case file. Phlox has found levels of [[growth hormone]] containing traces of [[myofibrilin]], used in the [[Orpheus Mining Colony|Orpheus mining facility]], a hotbed of Terra Prime activity. Reed says Mayweather has "a friend" in the Orpheus facility who may be able to smuggle in an undercover team; T'Pol and Tucker volunteer for the mission. At the same time, on the moon, [[miner]]s remove rocks from what looks like a cave-in, and find Mercer's body buried beneath.

While Tucker and T'Pol search the mining tunnels, T'Pol informs him that she knows of his doubts. In Mayweather's quarters, his relationship with Brooks takes a steamy turn. They discuss goals; Mayweather considers settling down. On the [[bridge]], Sato informs Reed of a glitch in the universal translator system. Back at Orpheus, [[Josiah]] introduces himself to Tucker and invites him to a Terra Prime assembly. T'Pol joins Tucker and tells him of Mercer's death. On the ship, Brooks is placed under arrest for spying &ndash; she's a member of Terra Prime.

Tucker and T'Pol's identities are discovered and they are taken hostage by members of Terra Prime. Paxton reveals that his mining facility is actually a [[warp drive|warp-capable]] vessel when it launches, with Tucker and T'Pol held captive on board, and flies to [[Mars]]. Archer orders a pursuit course. Terra Prime seizes control of the [[verteron array]] on Mars, normally used to redirect [[comet]]s, and uses it to fire a blast of [[verteron|verteron energy]] at Luna.

Tucker and T'Pol's identities are discovered and they are taken hostage by members of Terra Prime. Inside, in Paxton's office, he compares Tucker and T'Pol to [[Romeo and Juliet]]. He wonders if their "drama" will end happier than the suicide that Romeo and Juliet committed inside a medieval tomb. Tucker demands to know who Paxton is; he reveals that he is in charge of the facility and that he leads the Terra Prime movement. He tells Tucker and T'Pol that his ultimate goal is to return Earth to its "rightful owners". He declares "''it is my life's work, it is what I was born to do, and there is no one, not an ''alien'', not a Human, that will stop me from achieving ''it''."

===Act Four===
"''Clap louder. That's an order!''"
 
  +
Paxton orders Daniel Greaves to take the facility to launch mode. When Tucker asks Paxton where their destination is, he tells the engineer that "''this will be like a walk across the street''" for him. The enormous mining facility launches off of the moon's surface.
  +
  +
Back on ''Enterprise'', Brooks is being interrogated by Archer and Reed. Archer notes that her universal translator was reconfigured to record the alien delegates at the conference. Brooks denies doing anything wrong but Archer notes that, during a background check, they discovered that she had made three trips to the lunar colony in just the last month. She claims she was on assignment from her editor but Reed reveals that her editor ''never'' sent her there for a story. Archer asks her if she knows if Tucker and T'Pol are in danger; but she demands to speak to [[lawyer|legal counsel]]. Archer angrily orders she be taken to the ship's [[brig]] and given whomever she requests. Archer tells a visibly hurt Mayweather that he's sorry. Just then, Archer is paged over the [[intercom]]. An officer tells the captain that the Orpheus mining facility has taken off of the surface of the moon.
  +
  +
Afterwards, when the facility is in open space, Paxton reveals to Tucker and T'Pol that Orpheus is actually a [[warp-capable]] vessel. Tucker says they'll be lucky if the facility does not tear itself apart at warp but Paxton says he plans on luck. With that, the facility proceeds to warp and flies to [[Mars]]. Archer orders a pursuit course and tells Sato to inform Starfleet that ''Enterprise'' is going after it. The facility lands on the surface of Mars. Terra Prime seizes control of the [[verteron array]] on the red planet, normally used to redirect [[comet]]s, and uses it to fire a blast of [[verteron|verteron energy]] at Luna as a demonstration. Paxton issues a demand via [[subspace radio]] for all non-Humans to leave the [[Sol system]]. "''As of this moment, mankind casts off the shackles of alien interference and now determines its own fate. Terra Prime'' forever." Archer stares at the viewscreen, uncertain what to do next.

A xenophobic faction of Humanity threatens to undermine talks to form a new coalition of planets. (Part 1 of 2)

Summary

Teaser

In a corridor on the Orpheus mining facility on Luna, Earth's moon, Paxton and Mercer confer on the health of a baby girl – a Vulcan-Human hybrid. "She looks so innocent. It's almost possible to forget what she represents", Paxton notes.

Act One

"Captain's starlog, January 19th, 2155. Enterprise has been called home for what could prove to be a pivotal moment in history."

Meanwhile, on Earth, the Enterprise crew has been called home to appear at a meeting of Human and alien delegates discussing the formation of a "Coalition of Planets". Everyone applauds after a speech by Nathan Samuels, presiding over the convention – everyone except Trip Tucker, whom Jonathan Archer orders to clap louder than he currently is. While Phlox remarks that he enjoyed Samuels' speech, the rest of the crew is dismayed by Samuels' failure to mention their contributions, without which the meeting would not be taking place. As the meeting adjourns and the crew begins to leave, Samuels compliments Hoshi Sato on the recent improvements she made to the universal translator. Travis Mayweather is intercepted by Gannet Brooks, a reporter covering the event – an old flame who still expresses romantic interest. Across the room, T'Pol confides to Archer that Tucker had a point – the Enterprise crew was responsible for making the event possible – just before a medical technician, Susan Khouri, approaches and gives her a vial containing a hair follicle. Khouri warns "they're going to kill her", then collapses, fatally wounded from a phase-pistol shot to the abdomen.

Archer, Tucker, T'Pol, and Malcolm Reed join Phlox in the Enterprise sickbay a while later, after Phlox has analyzed the hair follicle. Extensive DNA testing by Dr. Phlox reveals that the hybrid child is Tucker and T'Pol's offspring. Shortly, T'Pol is meditating in her quarters when Tucker arrives to discuss the matter. T'Pol assures him she was never pregnant, yet somehow knows the child is theirs. Archer meets with Samuels elsewhere on the ship; Samuels refuses to let the news of the child out into public, afraid it will stir anti-alien sentiments which have been heightened since the Xindi attack the year before, and fuel such factions as the Terra Prime movement, which could hurt the burgeoning coalition. Samuels urges Archer to let Starfleet conduct the legal investigation. However, at Archer's request, Reed meets in San Francisco at night with Harris, the shadowy Section 31 agent, for information. Harris notes that Reed had asked him not to ever contact him again but Reed says he contacted him. Harris tells Reed that by agreeing to see him, Reed is acknowledging he still works for Section 31. According to Harris, Khouri was a member of Terra Prime, and if the crew can find the child, they'll find the answers to the mystery of its origin.

In Paxton's office on the moon, Paxton and Mercer discuss Khouri's – and Mercer's – allegiances where the child is concerned. Mercer is conflicted over Paxton's plans for the baby, but denies it. Paxton calls the child "an abomination" and claims "when the time comes, it will be treated as such". Paxton sends for Daniel Greaves after Mercer departs and tells him to put together "a team" and to meet him at the "third junction in one hour".

Act Two

On Earth, Archer pays Samuels a visit in the delegates' conference hall, where the Coridan ambassador argues with the Earth statesman. The Tellarites have been pushing for a trade embargo against the Orions, who have supposedly been attacking Tellarite freighters, which the ambassador dismisses as "Tellarite slander", citing that Coridan has traded with the Orions for centuries, and warns that his people will never agree to such sanctions. As Archer joins them, Samuels introduces him to the ambassador, who excuses himself to go discuss diplomatic affairs with his government. The Starfleet chief investigator has rejected Archer's request for a case file; Archer asks Samuels to intervene. After Samuels initially refuses, Archer reveals that he has learned Samuels was once a member of Terra Prime himself, which Samuels calls a mistake of his youth, having blamed a Denobulan pilot for his father's death in a flight accident. Samuels realizes he underestimated Archer and agrees to get him the case file.

Gannet Brooks

Brooks comes to see Mayweather in his quarters; she claims she's doing a story on Enterprise from the crew's perspective. They get into an argument over their past romantic relationship, but Mayweather agrees to give her a tour of the ship. In sickbay, Tucker discusses his doubts over whether T'Pol is telling the truth with Phlox, which Phlox dismisses as foolish. Tucker says his father always wanted a granddaughter, which he bugged Tucker's sister about constantly. Phlox points out that he got his wish.

In his lunar complex office, Paxton watches a video recording of Colonel Green, made three years after a cease-fire ended World War III. Greaves enters; they discuss the moral implications of Green's genocidal policies, before Greaves hands him a diskette containing a status report on the Vulcan-Human child's condition. After Greaves leaves, Paxton self-administers a hypodermic injection to his neck.

Mayweather and Brooks' tour ends up in launch bay 1. When asked by the reporter which of shuttlepod he used to penetrate a sphere in the Delphic Expanse, he replies that it was Shuttlepod 1. The two open the shuttlepod's hatch and go inside. Mayweather remarks that the crew is using the shuttlepods less and less due to everyone becoming comfortable with the use of the transporter. Mayweather remarks that when he saw Brooks at the conference earlier, he began to rethink some of the decisions he had made in his life. When she makes a joke about him now beginning to open up to her, he chides her for it. She tells him it is one of her bad habits and then suddenly kisses him. She admits another bad habit of hers is being unable to hide her attraction to someone. "You and your bad habits...", Mayweather remarks and then begins to passionately kiss her further.

While Mayweather and Brooks are rekindling their romance, elsewhere the crew discusses Khouri's autopsy from her case file. Phlox has found levels of growth hormone containing traces of myofibrilin, used in the Orpheus mining facility, a hotbed of Terra Prime activity. Reed says Mayweather has "a friend" in the Orpheus facility who may be able to smuggle in an undercover team; T'Pol and Tucker volunteer for the mission.

At the same time, on the moon, miners remove rocks from what looks like a cave-in, and find Mercer's body buried beneath.

Act Three

While Tucker and T'Pol search the mining tunnels on the moon, T'Pol informs him that she knows of his doubts. Tucker assures her that he completely believes her. In Mayweather's quarters, his relationship with Brooks takes a steamy turn. In bed together, they discuss goals; Mayweather considers settling down, believing that another challenge for him to face may be staying in one place for a change.

On the bridge, Sato informs Reed of a glitch in the universal translator system. Back at Orpheus, Josiah introduces himself to Tucker and invites him to a Terra Prime assembly. T'Pol joins Tucker and tells him of Mercer's death and of his connection to Susan Khouri. On the ship, Brooks is placed under arrest for spying – Archer and Reed reveal to Mayweather that she's a member of Terra Prime.

Tucker and T'Pol's identities are discovered and they are taken hostage by members of Terra Prime. Inside, in Paxton's office, he compares Tucker and T'Pol to Romeo and Juliet. He wonders if their "drama" will end happier than the suicide that Romeo and Juliet committed inside a medieval tomb. Tucker demands to know who Paxton is; he reveals that he is in charge of the facility and that he leads the Terra Prime movement. He tells Tucker and T'Pol that his ultimate goal is to return Earth to its "rightful owners". He declares "it is my life's work, it is what I was born to do, and there is no one, not an alien, not a Human, that will stop me from achieving it."

Act Four

Paxton orders Daniel Greaves to take the facility to launch mode. When Tucker asks Paxton where their destination is, he tells the engineer that "this will be like a walk across the street" for him. The enormous mining facility launches off of the moon's surface.

Back on Enterprise, Brooks is being interrogated by Archer and Reed. Archer notes that her universal translator was reconfigured to record the alien delegates at the conference. Brooks denies doing anything wrong but Archer notes that, during a background check, they discovered that she had made three trips to the lunar colony in just the last month. She claims she was on assignment from her editor but Reed reveals that her editor never sent her there for a story. Archer asks her if she knows if Tucker and T'Pol are in danger; but she demands to speak to legal counsel. Archer angrily orders she be taken to the ship's brig and given whomever she requests. Archer tells a visibly hurt Mayweather that he's sorry. Just then, Archer is paged over the intercom. An officer tells the captain that the Orpheus mining facility has taken off of the surface of the moon.

Afterwards, when the facility is in open space, Paxton reveals to Tucker and T'Pol that Orpheus is actually a warp-capable vessel. Tucker says they'll be lucky if the facility does not tear itself apart at warp but Paxton says he plans on luck. With that, the facility proceeds to warp and flies to Mars. Archer orders a pursuit course and tells Sato to inform Starfleet that Enterprise is going after it. The facility lands on the surface of Mars. Terra Prime seizes control of the verteron array on the red planet, normally used to redirect comets, and uses it to fire a blast of verteron energy at Luna as a demonstration. Paxton issues a demand via subspace radio for all non-Humans to leave the Sol system. "As of this moment, mankind casts off the shackles of alien interference and now determines its own fate. Terra Prime forever." Archer stares at the viewscreen, uncertain what to do next.
