Silik: "I've learned a great deal about you. Even more than you know."

LeadHead · November 3 2009, 06:36 PM

Archer: Well, I guess you have me at a disadvantage. So why don't you drop this invisible man routine and let me see who I'm talking to?

ChristopherPike · November 3 2009, 07:50 PM

Back aboard Enterprise...

Reed: "Hull plating's been re-polarised."

LeadHead · November 3 2009, 08:29 PM

T'Pol: Stand by Impulse Engines. Mister Tucker, status?

ChristopherPike · November 3 2009, 08:37 PM

Trip: "The auto-sequencer's online but annular confinement's still off by two microns."

^ It's supposed to be a surprise what Plan B is... and true enough, in this shot we can't tell where Tucker is... but we pretty much already know what device he's talking about.

LeadHead · November 3 2009, 08:46 PM

^Yeah, I don't know why they made it that obvious to the fans who had been watching since TNG, when they started using that technobabble.

T'Pol: That should suffice.

ChristopherPike · November 3 2009, 08:48 PM

Trip: "Easy for you to say."

LeadHead · November 3 2009, 08:52 PM

T'Pol: If the Suliban have re-established their defenses, we'll have no other option.

ChristopherPike · November 3 2009, 08:56 PM

Back on the Helix

Silik: (voice, seen briefly) "You wouldn't have come looking for Klaang if Sarin had told you what she knew. That means you're no threat to me Jon, but I do need you to leave this room... Now."

Door opens.

LeadHead · November 3 2009, 09:00 PM

Archer: This chameleon thing is pretty fancy. Was it payment for pitting the Klingons against each other, or a trophy from your Temporal Cold War?

ChristopherPike · November 3 2009, 09:06 PM

Silik charges Archer, coming out of his camouflage mode midway.

A phase pistol clatters to the floor.

Archer rises but Silik is already taking aim.

Silik: "I was going to let you go."

LeadHead · November 3 2009, 09:13 PM

Archer: Really? Then you obviously don't know as much about me as you thought you did.

ChristopherPike · November 3 2009, 10:25 PM

Silik: "On the contrary...

I could've told you what day you were going to die...

but I suppose that's about to change."

Silik fires the phase pistol, but the beam moves slowly. Archer notices a light stream reach his chest. Up ahead, an deep orange explodes from the barrel, flowing out, cutting through the air, tracing the first discharge.

Realising what is happening, he side-steps the ray and it hits the wall behind instead. Silik's eyes go wide, seeing the reaction - an approaching shockwave rapidly growing in size. It knocks him down and he releases the pistol. Unfortunately it drops closer to him than Archer.

LeadHead · November 3 2009, 10:59 PM

Archer: What's the matter? No genetic tricks to keep you from getting knocked on your butt?

ChristopherPike · November 3 2009, 11:14 PM

Silik: (looking around for phase pistol) "What you call tricks we call progress."

Archer is crouched behind a console, thinking out his next move. He glances at the far wall... opposite the open door. Unzipping a shoulder pocket, from it he clutches a communicator.

Silik: (spots and retrieves the weapon) "Are you aware that your genome is almost identical to that of an ape?"

Now pointing the gun around at possible hiding places.

"The Suliban don't share humanity's patience with natural selection..."

LeadHead · November 3 2009, 11:43 PM

Archer: So to speed things up a little, you've struck a deal with the devil.

Archer throws the communicator against a wall. Silik fires the Phase Pistol at the wall, causing another shockwave.

Archer runs for the door, Silik braces himself against a wall as Archer jumps, hoping to avoid the shockwave as he falls into the hallway.

Silik runs inside, Archer trips Silik and the two begin to struggle.

Enterprise is moves towards the Helix, under fire from Suliban Cell Ships.

ChristopherPike · November 4 2009, 01:47 PM

Reed: "We have four more coming up off starboard."

LeadHead · November 4 2009, 07:15 PM

T'Pol: Can we dock Ensign?

ChristopherPike · November 4 2009, 07:59 PM

Mayweather: "These aren't ideal conditions."

LeadHead · November 4 2009, 08:02 PM

T'Pol: Mister Tucker, we're going to Plan B.

Archer and Silik continue to struggle, both trying to get the Phase Pistol. Archer holds Siliks arm, but he bends it backwards and grabs the Pistol. Archer releases the hold, punches Silik in the face and starts running.

T'Pol: Now!

Silik fires the Phase Pistol as Archer is transported away.
