"Harvest Moon"

On the planet Liri, the Lirithians live a modest life, agrarian by nature, technology level around 12th century Earth time. However, a century ago the Lirithians had an encounter with other beings, beings that flash into existence every full moon to random villages, demanding food, and sometimes the occasional Lirithian. Over the years some have tried to stop these beings, but all have vanished with a wave of there hand. So this system has gone on, un impeded for a long time.

On the Enterprise, T'pol is scanning the Lirithian system, Vulcan charts say that it is inhabited, but at a pre contact level, however, T"pols scans indicate a power source in the system, something well beyond there technology level, getting closer, the scans reveil that the energy readings are coming from Liri's moon Eitov. When they are closer, Eitov hails the Enterprise, claiming that they have claimed this system and to please stay out. Archer Agrees and starts to head out of the system when closer scans indicate that they Eitovians have basically enslaved the planet Liri.
Now its up to Archer to find out more, and see if they can free the Liri, that is if they can as it technically "Isn't there Planet" and other speices might not side with Archer.

Next episode: "Anonymous"
 
"Anonymous"
On Valakis, a ship stopped by and beamed a canister treatment to the deadly epidemic that was tearing through the planets inhabitants. All hails ignored, ship entered orbit, beamed down the canister, and left.
After examination, it wasn't a total cure, but it would help to stabilize the Valakians genome and slow the deaths.

A few months later, Another ship enters orbit, again, beams down a canister, and leaves. In the canister is a message. " To the Valakians, we are aware of your ordeal, we have provided a temporary cure to your illness, however it will not stop it. We did this as an act of good faith, and a testimony that we can provide a full cure. However, for us to give you the cure, All Valakians must leave the planet Valakis, and to leave the Menk to to evolve naturally, and inherit the planet. We know that you do not have that ability right now, so at the moment, we have provided the temporary cure. We wish your species to survive. but we also wish for the Menk to survive and grow as well, with you on the planet, that will not happen. Please prepare your species for transport in 6 months, we will be in contact. "

6 months latter, another ship does the same thing, Orbit, Canister, leaves.
In this new canister is another message " If you agree to our terms, please activate the beacon enclosed, and we will transport you to a new world that has been prepared for you. You will not be allowed to return to the planet for a time to allow to Menk to flourish. We will also not allow any other ship to interfere. We wish your speices to survive. The temporary cure will wear off soon, This is the only way. We await your choice."

They do activate the beacon, 2 weeks later, a ship 100 km long enters orbit, and beams every Valakians on board. and warps away.

6 months latter the Enterprise makes a visit to Valakis to deliver supplies for the epidemic, and finds the planet abandoned by the Valakians, and only the Menk on the planet. However there is an orbiting beacon. "To those entering orbit, this planet is is protected. The original inhabitants have been moved to another planet to allow the Menk to evolve naturally, do not set foot on the planet. The others are safe, and there epidemic has been cured."

Archer wonders what has happened, and where the Valakians have been moved to, however, there's not much he can do except agree to the beacons demands and inform starfleet.

Next episode: "Hammer and Tongs"
 
Hammer and Tongs
The Enterprise returns to Earth for refits and upgrades. Commander Jefferies has been communicating with Trip for the whole trip back about all the upgrades and add ons for the Enterprise, alot of the upgrades coming from sharing some technology from the coalition.

One of the bigger parts of the refit is that the Enterprise will be getting a secondary hull. The part has already been completed, and will give the Enterprise a push past Warp 5.5, and Warp 6 (on paper), though the engine is still a bit temperamental.

Trip is so giddy that Archer has to reign him in a bit, The refit will take 3 months. 3 months that the Enterprise isn't on the front lines watching for the Romulans.

Elsewhere, Mayweather gets an offer to captain a new ECS Ship, capable of Warp 4, and Hoshi talks to him about staying on the ship during the war or taking the offer, as that wouldn't be "Running Away" from the war as shipping will be needed.

"A Woman in Time" - While attending a conference on a human-settled world, Archer meets and falls in love with Mary Maude Faber, a woman who has been given a "visitor's pass" to the 22nd century, accompanied by an invisible to everyone but her guide/advisor, while currently contemplating leaving her fiance, Eddie, at the altar. She can either choose to stay here or go back - if she chooses to stay, she will leave her old life forever; if she goes back, this new life will be thought a dream she had. After a tear-filled goodbye, she goes home to marry her husband - who, plot twist, is named Edward Keeler.

Next episode: "Disturbances"
 
"Disturbances" - Enterprise makes a remarkable discovery on the planet NF32332A. A technologically advanced civilization a mere eight inches in height has sent out an invitation for offworlders to join in their Ascension Day celebration, a holiday in which the culture molts its current form and grows into a new, more evolved stage of development. Archer accepts the invitation on behalf of the ship but expresses his regret his crew can't actually transport down owing to the difference in size. He is pleasantly surprised when the organizers reassure him they can remodulate the ship's transporter signal to cancel out the difference in their respective sizes. T'Pol examines their specs and confirms it can be done and undone safely. Trip enthusiastically confesses he always wanted to go on a Fantastic Voyage. Reed opines he hopes there are no Yahoos in the society. A landing party is assembled of Archer, Trip, T'Pol, Merriweather, and Sato. They beam down and find themselves in the center of a beautiful city bustling with activity and friendly people. All seems well until T'Pol finds traces of Vulcan, Tellarite, and Andorian technology fused in the buildings and grounds. She identifies one particular piece as belonging to a missing Vulcan science ship lost for a decade. She hypothesizes that the society advances by luring space travelers down to the planet whereupon their technology is appropriated. The landing party sets out to confirm this, and their worst fears are realized when the organizers inform them if they want to return to normal size they will have to surrender the Enterprise and its contents to them...

Next Episode - "The Candle of Ravaar"
 
"Disturbances"

Tracking back along the the comet's course, T'Pol discovers a mystery. 10 years ago, the comet seems to have changed course.

The ship enters area of the 4th planet, and scanners detect that the comet was going to hit the planet, however, when it was 500,000km from impact, the comet changed course.

Entering orbit of the 4th planet, T'pol discovers that there is a pre industrial civilization on the surface, no where near the technology level to alter a comets course. Further scans show that the inhabitants are human, and that the planet is mostly islands and that the inhabitants are decendents of the Maori.

However, on one of the larger islands, they discover a power source, Archer and Trip beam down and discover an oblysk. made of an unknown material. T'Pol informs Archer that the writting on the oblysk is known to the Vulcans, as they have discovered a few on other planets, however they don't know what it says.

While Archer and Trip are on the planet, an unknown ship enters orbit, no known configuration, T'Pol hails the craft, but no answer.
The Oblysk starts to thrum with electricity, and Trip and Archer beam back to the Enterprise. Afterwards, the ship sends and Audio message and leaves. It Says " These people are protected, do not interfere with there development."

Next Episode:
The Slaves of Orion
 
"The Slaves of Orion" - While looking for dilithium rich worlds to help Starfleet’s fleet expansion, the NX-01 crew encounters an Orion colony where Orion men make up 99% on the population, and all under the thumb of a consortium of Orion businesswomen and their female security personnel. Mindful of their previous encounters with the Orions, Archer has T’Pol and Hoshi lead a pair of all-female away teams to negotiate with the female leaders for access to dilithium. However, negotiations go awry after Hoshi accidently insults the consortium. And as Phlox has been unsuccessful in creating a immunity to the Orion pheromones, it forces Archer to send the only member of his crew naturally immune, Trip, to negotiate for their freedom. However, not content to simply rescue his fellow crewmates, Trip tries to instigate a slave revolt to free the Orion men as well.

Next episode: "DaiMon Mayweather"
 
"DaiMon Mayweather" - Travis receives a care package from the Horizon, including a small rock with metal deposits, a gift from one of the crew's children, who found it while exploring a trading post where the ship had stopped. Unbeknownst to him, the rock contains a very rare form of latinum. While NX-01 is on shore leave on Hemileet II, Mayweather carries the rock around like a good luck charm. Two Ferengis, disguised to avoid detection, Joot and Grug, have traced their lost latinum rock to him and, determined to get it back, keep arranging for "accidents" to befall Mayweather, all of which he escapes without being too badly hurt - rather, the Ferengi themselves wind up getting hurt by their own booby traps. Meanwhile, Trip attends a concert and is pressed into service when the venue's power system shuts down.

Next episode: "Crying Wolf"
 
"Crying Wolf"
The Enterprise enters the Cedradus system, according to the Vulcan star charts, the system has 5 planets, 1 minshara class and one just barely livable at an average of 50 degrees C ( quite hot) another item about the system is the large amount of asteroids and comets in the inner system, the largest gas giant is smaller than Neptune, so it didn't do like Jupiter and clean out the inner system of debris. the planets are in a literal shooting gallery. The 2 inhabitable planets are in a binary orbit with each other, with the Hell planet slightly ahead, getting the most impacts and saving the M class from most impacts.

On the planet is an intelligent species, about 17th century technology, some machinery.
Archer and Reed take a shuttlepod down to see how the inhabitants have survived this long.
Talking with some of them, they say that they haven't ever heard of anything falling from the sky, however, when the Enterprise scanned the planet, it found numerous impact craters dating back eons., however, none in the last 5000 years.

When visiting an observatory, one of the astronomers was yelling at the top of his lungs, We will be impacted by an asteroid in a week, we must prepare! all the other astronomers ignore him, Reed asks one, what is up with the Yelling person. He says that that is Trian, he's the local crack pot, spouting off occasionally about "the end of the world" that stones will fall from the sky to strike the ground causing mass damage. Intrigued, Archer goes over and talks to Trian about what he knows, and how he knows it.
Trian says that he has tracked numerious lights in the sky, yet when they seem to be on a collision course, they vere away. However, the amount there veering off is becoming smaller and smaller. Archer says that the Great Desert protects this world doesn't it? Yes, however not all of them, all the stones in the sky go every direction.
Intrigued, Archer and Reed follows Trian to an observitory and watch with Trian, noting that some do seem to be pushed away.
On the ship T'Pol scans the system more thouroughly, and charts the course of all nearby debris, and is amazed. It is very subtle but there is a deflection field being projected from the desert world, and it is indeed getting weaker.
Archer and Reed head up to the world and try to find out what is going on with this system.

(Another story with the Preservers.. :) )

Next Episode: Romulan von Richthofen
 
"Romulan von Richthofen" - NX-01 investigates when reports claim that a rogue ship has been engaging in dogfights with personal craft ships flying in the Venobre sector. In order to lure this mystery pilot out of hiding, T'Pol and Trip pilot a small craft into his hunting grounds, which Trip christens the Snoopy (a la Peanuts comics). The pilot in question always wears a non-descript black helmet to obscure their identity. When it becomes clear that the verbal sparring is as much a part of the game as the fighting, T'Pol engages him in debate over comms while Trip dodges and fires at the ship. Meanwhile, Phlox asks Archer to loan Porthos to sickbay in order to provide animal therapy.

Next episode: "Nebulous"
 
Last edited:
"Nebulous" - The NX-01, flanked by the Intrepid and the Republic, are sweeping a nebula looking for an alleged Romulan supercarrier that is in development that would turn the tide to the favour of the Romulans. While having the captain’s of both vessels over for dinner, Archer gets the sense that both captains, Ramirez and Jennings, despite being longtime friends of his are hiding something about the mission they are on.

Meanwhile Phlox & Hoshi finds themselves working overtime investigating claims from both engineering and armory personnel on all three ships, of there being a microscopic lifeform aboard in communication with them that inhabit the nebula. The investigation goes into overdrive when Travis shares previous decades-long encounter an infamous freighter family had with these microscopic lifeforms that he simple wrote off as a ghost story. Long story short, it led to the trade route that once ran through this nebula to be abandoned when the crew went mad and killed each other. Their derelict ship was discovered by a Vulcan survey vessel, who never found any evidence of the microscopic lifeforms, despite one log entry that suggested they existed.

When Archer learns of this, he suggests returning back home to keep the crews of all three ships safe, until they can find a way to communicate with these lifeforms. However, Ramirez and Jennings insist on completing their mission on orders from Starfleet Command at all costs even if history repeats itself, as the three ships are not expected to return. Sensing that the real Ramirez and Jennings would never be this negligent with the lives of their crew, Archer begins to believe that they are not the real Ramirez and Jennings and are instead Romulan doppelgangers.

Next episode: “Archer’s Target”

“Archer’s Target” - After a top-secret meeting with Starfleet Command, Archer commands NX-01 to head to the site of a critical diplomatic meeting between the Nul'tenri and the Humbis, neither species that have current dealings with Earth, no questions asked. During the ride, he spends a lot of time at the firing range. Upon arriving at the planet, Archer vanishes. Samples of a powerful neurotoxin that the ship had been transporting to a science station are missing after a break-in that leaves Phlox knocked unconscious. The crew speculates - is Archer a kidnap victim or is he going to assassinate someone?

This begins a frantic search that ends just as Archer pulls the trigger. As it turns out, Starfleet Intel got word that one of these diplomats, who is in fact having secret (benevolent, but dangerous) talks with Earth, has been poisoned with a toxin that will kill him just in time for the meeting - and NX-01's toxin is the antidote, supplied by Intelligence for that purpose - the science station bit was an excuse.

Next episode: "Enemy Splines"
 
"Enemy Splines" - After Hoshi succeeds in cracking a complex Romulan algorithm, it reveals mysterious troop movements moving in a specific pattern at a specific set of coordinates at an intersection of Romulans and Klingon space. Once Enterprise arrives, they find neither Klingons or Romulans, but Arcturans, who are making their move against a colony of Regulans. The Regulans claim that they are defending a series of settlements they've held for centuries. The mission get more complicated when the Arcturans are open to pledging loyalty to Archer to fight the Romulans and defend Earth ships from Klingon incursions, as they despise both species after disastrous and hostile first contacts with them. However, the Regulans are longstanding Vulcan allies and are persuasive enough to get the Vulcans more active in the war, and immediately turn the tides in Earth's favour. As Archer struggle internally as to which decision is the correct one, Mayweather falls hard for a Regulan freighter captain, which may spoil any sense of neutrality Enterprise projecting in the moment. And may make an unneeded enemy out of the Arcturans.

Next episode: "The Misanthropes"
 
"The Misanthropes" - NX-01 comes to the aid of the Otherness, a colony ship used by the Cleft, a human group that has decided to reject their humanity and create a new culture from scratch. Their ship found itself in a decaying orbit around a planet that they could not possibly live on, as it is incompatible with human biology, and they don't have the resources to create a suitable living space there. Their linguist, Natalia Quinones, however, believes she's made contact with an alien who could help them live on the planet below. She believes they were meant to land there and disputes with their leader - her father - over whether they should try to stay. Archer gets to know Natalia, both professionally and personally, providing a leader's perspective, and being (possibly more than) a friend. He questions her anti-humanity group's philosophy, as she has been, and there's actually a rift among the crew of the Cleft on that subject too - some don't like what it has become, more anti-something than for-something else. As it happens, the alien that Quinones contacted is anti-humanoid, and hoped to trick her people (and NX-01) to their deaths. Questions of hatred vs dissatisfaction, what makes a person a person, etc, are discussed.
