[edit] Plot

After crossing the desert and surviving the sand storms, Sub-commander T'Pol and Archer confront the Syrranites in the Forge. The pair meet T'Pau, who denies any connection with the embassy bombing and Admiral Forrest's death. Archer, now possessing the mental essence of Surak known as the "katra," agrees to let T'Pau extract it, even after T'Pol's mother T'Les warns the ritual may kill him. Meanwhile Vulcan administrator V'Las is willing to destroy Enterprise to make sure an attack on the Syrrannites isn't witnessed. Former Ambassador Soval allies with Commander Tucker to try to rescue Archer and T'Pol.

[edit] References to other Star Trek media

  • The Next Generation two-part episode "Gambit" featured a psionic Vulcan artifact as a major plot point.
  • A human (Archer) being called by the founder of an alien religion (Surak) to carry a message to his people is highly reminiscent of the Bajoran prophets calling Benjamin Sisko to be their "emisssary."
