Silik in Season 3?

[Lady Conqueror]

I was thinking about Storm Front the other day and started wondering about how Silik got on board Enterprise. There didn't really seem to be an opportunity during Zero Hour (that I can recall anyway) for him to have snuck on board so does that mean that he was hiding out on Enterprise for the entire Season 3 - hoping on board when Archer visits FG's lair in The Expanse?

Since the MACO's were newly on board crewmembers perhaps he disguised himself as one of them - there could very well be a dead MACO shoved inside an Enterprise storage locker with nobody the wiser

Interesting question. In "Cold Front" we saw how Silik could infiltrate Enterprise without great difficulty, but he had a clear venue to come aboard in that one.

In "Storm Front" we do not have such an easy out. That having been said, "Storm Front" is full of quick fixes and convenient outs, as they were trying to be done with the temporal cold war as quickly as possible. Maybe at that point they were just trying so hard to wrap it up they did not care as much about the details.

We know that Daniels had the ability to transport Archer places... I know that Future Guy's tech was limited in most respects, but maybe he found a way to transport Silik to Enterprise?

Seems plausible enough to me that he might have been aboard the whole time. Silik did serve, ultimately, as Archer's guardian angel -- certainly more than Daniels did -- and since Future Guy clearly wanted Archer alive and safe it follows he have at least one of his agents aboard the Enterprise. He'd have to be disguised for the many months of the voyage, but there was a galaxy at stake, after all.

idk, wouldn't he have helped Enterprise during those fierce battles in Azati Prime, etc. where the ship was turned into swiss cheese? If he was on board, would he have helped incognito or did he just blend into a wall the whole time or something....?

I rather doubt that Silik was aboard for all of season 3. If he was to have shadowed them at all during season 3, he would have done it from a Suliban Vessel, one with the special comm system to chat with Future Guy. It seems more likly that he snuck abord Degra's Ship during the battle with Dolim's Warship after being ordered by Future Guy to follow them back in time.

This and the other ideas are all good ones. I suspect we are picking up a detail they missed or decided to avoid explaining. So much with the TCW was incomplete, this is just another missing detail IMHO.

I don't know - the only vessels we've seen the Suliban use is the cell ships and they are quite small & cramped (and have no sign of being able to communicate with FG who has that special chamber on the actual helix). If I was Silik I know I would have preferred to be on Enterprise in one of them for months.

Maybe FG knew that Vosk was going to attempt some sort of incursion on Earth but wasn't sure what or when. He hid Silik on board Enterprise because he figured that Daniels would no doubt send Archer & co back to fix it.
