(Missed the first three minutes)

Scene starts with Malcolm in the decon room,searching under the bench and around the small chamber.scene switches to Hoshi in shuttlepod one searching the flooring and seats.While Archer is outside the shuttlepod back in its bay,checking around the floor and craft itself.As Malcolm enters the shuttlebay area where Captain Archer is still looking.

Reed-Not in decon.

Any luck?

Archer-Not yet.

Reed-What about the launch bay crew?

Could they have found it while they were securing the pod?

Archer-I've already spoken to them

Hoshi comes out of the open shuttlepod door.To where Archer and Reed are talking.

Hoshi-I did everything but tear up the floor plating.

Archer-When was the last time you remember having it?

Reed-I contacted T'Pol to let her know we'd entered the city.

Archer-After that did you have any reason to take it out of your pocket?

Reed-No

Archer-Are you sure?

Reed-I'd remember

Either I dropped it or someone picked my pocket.

Archer-We covered alot of ground.

It could be anywhere.

Hoshi-I think I can narrow down the search.Captain.

An inverse carrier wave should amplify its power signature.

With any luck,I'll be able to isolate it.

Scene changes to enterprise bridge.Where Hoshi is infront of her consul surrounded by the others.

Hoshi-I'm getting something.

I've got it down to two square kilometers.

Archer-Can you do a little better?

Hoshi-I'll try.

Trip-Didn't you say something about a war brewing down there?

Archer-We saw a lot of propaganda but  from what we could tell nobody started fighting yet.

T'Pol-It's crucial we retrieve the technology.

We can't risk contaminating a pre-warp culture.

Hoshi-I've isolated the signal to within three city blocks.

That's the best I can do ,sir.

Reed-The signal?

This L shaped structure isn't that the fountain the one with the statues?

The tavern was directly across the street here

The communicator could have slipped out of my pocket when we sat down.

Archer-It's a good place to start.(Turning to T'Pol)

You've got the bridge.

Tell,dr Phlox we're going to need his cosmetic services again.

Archer and Reed head towards the lift.

Trip-You could use another set of eyes down there.Captain.

Archer-I appreciate the offer.Trip but the fewer set of eyes the better.

Trip-I'm a regular bloodhound.

Archer-Next time.(The lift doors closes leaving Trip still on the bridge.)

Scene changes.As the shuttlepod glides out of enterprise and then switches to the pods interior.Dressed and in the local inhabiants clothing.Archer is the pilot while Reed is in the co-pilot chair,checking the instruments.)

Archer-We'll be in range of their surveillance towers in less then two minutes.

Reed-The hull plating's already been polarized.

Archer-Your feet ready for another hike?

Reed-It's not a problem,sir.

Captain..my carelessness was inexcusable.I'm prepared for whatever reprimand you feel is appropriate.

Archer-How about 30 years in the brig? or maybe a good flogging?

Reed-Sir..

Archer-It was an accident,Malcolm.

It could have happened to any of us.

Reed-Three military aircraft 72 kilometers off starboard.

I suggest you increase our descent vector.

That should keep us well below their visual threshold.

Scene changes-Interior of a pub.Reed and Archer walk in and over to a table and sit down .Archer keeps watch as Reed feels out the table and dissappears underneath it,the seats after a check Reed sits back up in the chair oppisite Archer.

Archer-This was the table?

Reed-I'm positive.

Archer-Try your scanner.

Reed pulls out his scanner and starts to scan .Until Archer

clears his throat.The barkeeper has come over to their table.

>Alien Barkeep- Welcome back.

What would you like?

Archer-Can you give us a few minutes?

>Alien Barkeep- Of course.Where's you friend?The young woman?

Archer-You have a good memory.

>Alien Barkeep- She was difficult to forget.

Archer-I'll pass along the compliment.

>Alien Barkeep- Do you live here?

Archer-No.we've just visiting.

>Alien Barkeep- We've recieved a shipment of allakas malt this afternoon.

Archer-Sounds good.

Barkeeper leaves .Reed pulls out his scanner and checks it.As he does that the barkeeper has gone to another table filled with soldiers and he gives them a nod.

Reed-I've got it.

Archer-Where?

Reed--It's in a room off that corridor.

Archer-Were you in there?

Reed-No

Archer slowly gets up from the table and moves  to the corridor floowed by Reed.The barkeeper looks up from cleaning his glass as the reed and archer  goes down the corodor.As the table with soldiers all so note.

Archer and  Reed enter the corridor as Reed runs his scanner over the close doors that line the hall/corridor.Reed goes infront of Archer and stopping at one close door he runs the scanner and slowly turns to Archer and nods that the commuicator he left behind is in there.

 whispering

Reed-There are two people inside.

Archer-better wait till they come out.

As Archer and Reed goes back into the pub.They see the soldiers get up from their table and head towards them.With just a look Archer and Reed know they have been discovered.With a slight nod from Archer,they both pick up different sides from the table and run it into the soldiers.A fight.Reed is the first to go down with a hit to the jaw.Whereas Archer gets the soldier in a headlock and the soldier in back of Archer pulls out his weapon and stcks it into the crook of Archer's back.Archer gives up.While Reed is picked up off the floor by hisclothing and forced to his feet.The guards marched them down the hallway where two soldiers-Pell and another wait.Pell confronts Archer.

Lt.Pell-Does this belong to you?

What is it?

Archer-I don't know.

Archer and Reed are flung to the wall and searched.They come up with the scanners and phaser pistrol from Reed .Archer doesn't look like he seemed to know that Reed carried a phaser-pistol.The items taken off them are flung onto a table behind Pell.

Lt.Pell-What kind of weapon is this?

Where's General Gosis?

Alien Soldier - On the eastern perimeter.

Lt.Pell-Send a level four communigue. and tell him I think we found a pair of enemy spies.Take them to the complex and put your men on alert.

Pell picks up the phaser pistol looks it over and them settting it down .He walks over to Archer.

Lt Pell-You won't be seeing your friends in the alliance for a long time.

commercial

Bridge of Enterprise

Trip-I'm telling you something's gone wrong.

We should hail them.

Hoshi-If their in a public place the communicator would draw attention.

Hoshi seems more like T'Pol.But it is T'Pol's look  of angish over Archer not being found is etched in her features.

T'Pol-We'll have to take that risk.

T'Pol-T'Pol to Captain Archer.

Hoshi-Com line's open.

T'Pol-Captain,please respond.

Close the channel.

Trip--Did you get a fix on the signal?

Hoshi-Somewhere in this district.

Trip-That's more than 30 kilometers from the tavern.

Where's the shutterpod?

Hoshi-Hasn't moved.

Trip-They couldn't have traveled that far on foot,not that fast.

Hoshi-Maybe they took a train or a car.

Trip-If there was a change of plan,they would've told us.

T'Pol-Try to isolate their bio-signs.

I want to know exactly where they are.

Hoshi-There are bearly 100,000 people in that part of the city.

Trip-We'd have more luck if we moved into a lower orbit.

T'Pol-Any closer and we'd be detected.

Do your best.

Archer and Reed in a prison cell

Reed-groans (rubbing his foot)

Archer-Still bothering you?

Reed-I didn't have time to visit the doctor.I wonder if the  guard would bring us some epsom salts,if I asked politely.

Archer-I wouldn't count on it.

Reed-We came down to retrieve my communicator.Now we lost two of them.Not to mention my phase pistol and a pair of scanners

Archer-Let's just hope they don't find the shuttlepod.

Reed-If they think we are spying for this alliance perhaps we should consider telling them the truth.

Archer-I'm not sure anyone would believe us.

Reed-It couldn't hurt to try.

Archer-Vistors from another world?There's no way to know how they'd react.

footsteps.

Archer-The less we say the better.

Reed-Understood.

Three soldier's come up to the cell and the leading one unlocks the celldoor

guard-Follow me

Archer and Reed follow the guards

door opens

Gosis-Which one of you is the Captain?Something unexpected happened when I was examing this transmitter.It began to make a sound,so I opened it.Someone calling herself T'Pol seemed very concerned about her Captain's well being.Which one of you was she trying to contact?

Archer-I'm the Captain.

Gosis-The alliance must be growing desperate if they're recruting officers as spies.

Archer-We're not part of the military.

Gosis-I supposed you're the Captain of a pleasure boat

This transceiver?What's its frequency,it's range?

Archer-I don't know.

Gosis-(Sitting at the end of his desk questioning Reed and Archer, who are sitting in chairs in front of him.)

This appears to be a computing instrument.Tell me how does it work?

Lt. Pell hits Archer across the face.

Lt. Pell-My superiors expects answers

Gosis-As an officer,I'm sure you can appreciate that.I have no desire to harm you but I need you to cooperate.

Archer-I'm sorry.I can't help you.

Gosis-I trust you enjoyed the rally this morning.That's why your here isn't it?It's curious,the two of you visiting the city the same day as Chancellor Kultaryey.Did you come here to observe his sercurity arrangement?Or perhaps assassinate him? We're aware of your ancestral claims against our city.It must make a tempting target.

Archer-We're vistor's not spies.

Gosis-This T'Pol who tried to contact you,where is she?

Archer looks at Gosis and refuses to say as Lt.Pell hits Archer harder in his face causeing Archer to fall off his chair.Reed gets up only to get hit with the burrel of a weapon in his stomach then across his face.Both Archer and Reed are forced back into their chairs.

Gosis-You've been surgically altered.

Gosis notes something he picks up Archer head by  his chin and notes that the  forehead of his people's design is fallen off-pulls it off the Lt does the same with Reed and notes the red blood falling from his wound.

Lt Pell-General ,His blood is red.

General is shocked and has them taken back to their cell.

Gosis-Take them to Temec.Have him perform a full examination.

Aboard the enterprise-siturationroom

Hoshi-They're here inside this compound.

Mayweather-Guard towers,gun enplacements,its not a hotel.

Trip- We could take shuttlepod two,set it down here.less then 30 meters away.We'd be back in orbit before anyone knew they were gone.

T'Pol-If you were captured you'd be giving the inhabitants more technology.It would undoubtedly affect the evolution of their society.

Trip-What if they didn't see us coming?We've still got that Sulban cell ship the one we used to rescue Klaang from the helix.I've been working on it in my free time.I'm pretty close to figuring out how it works.If I can bring the cloak on line we can get past their defenses grab our people,and no one will see a thing.

T'Pol-Work quickly

Trip-I could use a hand.

Mayweather-Aye,sir

T'Pol -I suggest we monititor the communiques coming from the compound.They may tell us what's happening to the Captain and Mr.Reed.

Hoshi-Aye,sir.

T'Pol is stareing off

Scene change Trip and Mayweather with the Subilan ship

Trip-I don't get it.The power converter's engaged.juice is definitely flowing through these relays.

Mayweather-So why can we still see the ship? Maybe this panel isn't the cloaking device.

Trip-I've identified every other component.That's got to be it. Run the power-up sequence again.

Mayweather -This would be alot easier if there's a button marked cloak.

Trip-Hold on a minute Travis.

Trip goes into the ship and checks on something then a flash of light and he is thown backwards.Hitting the floor .travis Mayweather goes to his friends aid.

Mayweather-Are you all right?

Trip-Groans as he starts to get up.Just got the wind knocked out of me a bit.

Just then a piece of equipment to the side of them disappears.

Mayweather is looking down at Trip's arm

Mayweather-Maybe a little bit more than that.

Trip lifts his arm to see that it's disappeared.

Commerical

Trip is sitting on an exam table in sickbay.

Phlox-How's that?

Trip-You tell me.

They feel all right.

Trip-What's your scanner say?

Phlox-Quantum physics is hardly me specialty but,uh,I'd guess that you received an intense dose of whatever particle radiation that ship uses to conceal itself.

Trip-Are you saying I'm permanently cloaked?

Phlox-It's difficult to determine but,uh,I suspect your appendage will eventually rematerialize on its own.

Trip-Eventually?

Phlox-Come back in an hour.I'll check on your progress.

Trip-What am I supposed to do in the meantime? I can't work like this.

sighs-Phlox goes and gets Trip a pair of gloves and hands it to him.

Phlox-I'd also recommend a fresh uniform.

Trip-Thanks.

Pell-Shall we try this?Some kind of co-herent energy pulse.I thought this technology was only theoretical.

Back on the planet.

Gosis-Our alliance friends seem to have turned theory into reality.

Shoots off the phaser-pistol

Pell-May.I?There appears to be another setting.

Changes the phaser-pistol's settings this time the target blows up and is totally destoryed.

Gosis-If the alliance has equipped its troops with these weapons.Make sure the devices are kept under guard at all times.Use the men you can trust.

Scene switches back to the room on the planet.As the doctory enters

Gosis-What did you find?

Dr. Temec-See for yourself.

Hands Gosis a scan

Gosis-How is that possible?

Dr. Temec-There's only one explanation.Our prisoners belong to another species.

Scene switches Archer and Reed are brought back for questioning and tossed on the chairs.

Gosis-Doctor Temec tells me your deformities are the work of a surgeon.He found no obvious incisions or scar tissue.You're even more abnormal on the inside.A redundant renal organ and you're missing four thoracic vertebrae.Temec can't even begin to explain this mass.The doctor tells me your hemoglobin is based on iron,a toxic element.He conducted the test four times to be certain.He has a theory about where you came from.I found it difficult to believe until I saw this.One of our surveillance aircraft took this image early this morning.The pilot said the object was traveling at a very high speed.Can you explain?

Temec-None of the other planets in our system are capable of supporting life?Where did you come from?

Gosis-Our scientists tell me its unlikely that a craft of this size could have traveled from another star system.They suspect a larger ship must be somewhere nearby,perhaps orbiting our planet.

Tell me your orders!

Gosis-Have you made contact with the alliance? grunts Answer me!

Groans slowly.Archer stands up .

Archer-Our intelligence reports underestimate you,general.alien creatures you're even more delusional than we throught.This isn't a suborborital.A highly experimental aircraft.We've been observing your territory for months.

Gosis-How did you evade our surveillance towers?

Archer-It's made from composite alloy.Invisible to any of your tracking systems.

Dr. Temec-And your biological anomalies?

Reed-We've been genetically enhanced.

Dr. Temec-What kind of enhancements?

Reed-Oue immune systems are resistant to chemical and biological weapons And our internal organs have been modified to increase cellular regeneration by 30%That our wounds can heal more quickly.

Pell-Create the perfect soldier.

Gosis-How many of you are there?

Archer-We're prototypes.The only ones.

Gosis-And your devices,are they prototypes as well?

Archer-All of them.

Gosis-That them back.

groans softly

After a slight ruffing up Archer and Reed are taken back to their cell.

Back in the room.

Gosis-Do you believe them?

Dr. Temec-It's a plausible explanation.

Pell-The alliance could have thousands of soldiers with these mutations.

Gosis-We need to verify what they're told us.

Dr. Temec-I ran every imaginable test.If I were to extract the organs.I could study them in more detail.

Gosis-You'll be in charge of the execution.I'll inform the prisoners.

Bridge of Enterprise

Hoshi-Sub-commander,another communique.It's from a General Gosis to the chancellor.He said they've captured two enemy spies.They're going to hang them.

Scene switches to where Mayweather and Trip are working on the cell ship.

Trip-Reconnect the diffraction relays and we'll give it another shot.

Mayweather-Any change?

Trip-Still missing in action.

Mayweather-Having a cloak hand could have its advantages.Be useful in a poker match.

Trip-I could probaly become a world-class magician.

Mayweather-It might be helpful on movie night if you bring a blind date.in case you want to steal some popcorn.

Trip-Let's try it again.

sighs

Trip-Go ahead.

Mayweather-Is it working?

Trip-Not exactly.Shut her down.

The cloaking generator's running at 110% and its still not enough.Let's route more power from the warp relays.Maybe that will do the trick.

door slides open.T'Pol enters.

T'Pol-How soon can you launch?

Trip-We're still reconfiguring the power matrix but I'm pretty confident.

T'Pol-You don't have time.They're going to be executed in less than two hours.

Trip-We'll get it working on our way down if we have to.Look,invisible or not this cell ship could take more of beating than our shuttlepod.

T'Pol-You're about to find out.Prepare it of launch.

Back in the cell on the Planet.

Archer-An upset stomach?Do you really think he'd fall for that?

Reed-Well,it maybe an old trick where we come from but maybe they haven't heard of it here.

Archer-Even if we got out of the compound we'd never make it to the shuttle.Not looking like this.Genetic enhancementsvery creative Malcolm.

Reed-Thanks,improvisation isn't my strong suit.

Archer-You made us sound like the suliban.

sighs

Reed-What do you suppose enterprise will do?

Archer-If I know T'Pol she won't want to leave any contamination behind.It may take some time but she'll find a way to get everything back.Including our..remains.

sighs

Reed-It's ironic giving our lives to protect people who want to kill us.

Archer-It's a big planet,malcolm.I'm sure they're not all like that.

Reed-I'm not afraid,sir.

Archer-What if we told them the truth?

Reed-You said it yourself,captain.They'd never believe us.

Archer-If we show them to the shuttlepod,bring the general uo to enterprise.give them the grand tour top it off with dinner in the captain's mess.We'd probably all have a good laugh over how he almost sent us to the gallows.I've gotten plenty of lectures on cultural contamination But T'Pol never mentioned anything about sacificing crewmen to prevent it.

Reed-If we did tell them who we are maybe it would do them a world of good.Look what the Vulcans did for Earth.

Archer-That was different.These people haven't even split the atom yetThe Vulcans waited until we were ready.Until we had the ability to travel to other stars.We're doing the right thing malcolm.-I still sorry you won't get a chance to write that report.

Reed-It could still happen .sir.I'm expecting a rescue party to come barging through that door any moment.

Scene cell ship cloaked heading towards the planet.

T'Pol-We'll be in range of those surveillance towers in less than two minutes.

Trip-They'll never see us coming.

Scene changes back to the cell where Archer and Reed are being held.

footsteps approaching,keys jingling,door opens

guard-On your feet.

Goes in the guards and bindings Archer and Reed's hands behind their back.And leading them out to be hung.

Scene changes-cell ship.The cloaking device has failed.

Mayweather-What was that?

Trip-There's a power drain in the cloaking generator.

Trip-Are the warp relays off-line?

Mayweather-Primary and back-ups.

Trip-The weapons nodes are activeI thought we diverted power from the secondary systems

Mayweather-We did.

Trip-They may have been programmed to reactivate when we launched.

T'Pol-Three military aircraft off our portside.They're on intercept course.

The three military crafts are firing at the now visable cell ship.

Trip-Travis ,can't you hold this thing steady?

Mayweather-It'd be a lot easier if they stop firing at us.

T'Pol-Commander!

Trip-Stand-by!

Cell ship slowly again is cloaked.

Scene changes.Archer and Reed are being lead to the gallows.Archer stops in front of Gosis.

Archer-He's my tactical officer.He can tell you everything you want to know about the alliance's troop deployments their weapons.

Reed-Captain

Archer-You don't need to kill him.

Archer and Reed are lead up to the gallows ,the rope placed around their necks.

humming.

Righ below the gallows and an explosion of one of thewalls.soldiers scatter,Trip rolls out of the invisable cell ship followed by T'Pol.Who make their way up freeing Archer and Reed.Shots are ringing out everywhere.

Trip-Your rides here

Reed-Sir,the phaser pistol,our equipment.

Archer-Don't leave without me.

gunshots

Archer runs into a little side room and retrieve their items and then makes it back and into the cellship-cloaked.

Archer-Let's go

Mayweather-The shuttlepod's right where you left it.sir.We'll be there in two minutes.

Archer looks around as Reed produces a scanner

Reed-Captain? Sir,looking for this?

Reed hands it to Archer.Who smiles.

Back on the Enterprise.Archer is in his quarter's

door chimes

Archer-Come in

T'Pol-I scanned the region ahead.There's a blue-gaint cluster three light years from our current position.

Archer-Any planets?

T'Pol-None that are inhabited.

Archer-Sounds like a nice change of pace.Have Travis set a course.

T'Pol-Yes,Sir.

Was there something else?

Archer-You took a risk coming down on that cell ship.It's cloaking device could have failed.

T'Pol-A calculated risk

Archer-I'm glad you did it.What's important is that we got everything back,the communicator,the phase pistol the shuttlepod.We could have done alot of damage to those people if we'd left any of it behind

T'Pol-We did do damage to those people.

Archer-We've changed their perception of the alliance.

T'Pol-They now believe their enemy is capable of creating genetically-enhanced soldiers not to mention particle weapons.

Archer-And thanks to that suliban ship,they think the alliance has developed invisable aircraft.

T'Pol-You don't have to leave technology behind to contaminate a culture.

T'Pol is heading out the door when she stops and turns to Jonathan.

T'Pol-You were willing to sacrifice your life to protect them.I would not have expected that.

Scene changes to sickbay.Where Phlox is checking out Trip's hand that is reappearing.

Phlox-You are making excellant progress.

Trip-Yeah?What about this?

Phlox-That's nothing.

Trip-Maybe nothing to you.

Phlox-Give it time,humm?-Give it time.

Trip heads to the door as he lifts his hand to push one of the buttons.You see that a small round invisable hole the size of a dime remains in the middle of his hand.

Trip-sighs

Thanks ,Doc.

THE END
