[DEVICE BEEPS]

HOSHI [OVER COM]:
Bridge to Mayweather.

Mayweather.

HOSHI: The captain
wants you to report to the Bridge.

Admiral Forrest called
a few minutes ago.

We're reversing course.

I'm on my way.

T'POL: The planet's orbit has shifted,
taking it between two gas giants.

Their gravitational pull
is causing its core to superheat.

Starfleet thinks it'll be covered

with erupting volcanoes
by the end of the week.

This system's almost
30 light years behind us.

Admiral Forrest assures me
it's only a temporary detour.

Some geological fireworks.
Could be fun.

- Set a course.
- Aye, sir.

[BELL RINGS]

Come in.

- Do you have a minute, sir?
- Several, actually.

Please.

What's on your mind?

I was wondering if I could make
a personal request.

Of course.

My family's ship, the Horizon,
we're going to be passing close to it.

I wouldn't mind going by for a visit.

It's about 10 hours off our flight path.

Enterprise can still get to the planet
with time to spare.

You could pick me up
on the way back.

I think we can manage without you
for a few days.

Thank you, sir.

Your folks will be surprised
to see you.

My father's been ill
for a few months.

Nothing serious, I hope.

My mother said he'll be fine.
She's the ship's medic.

I thought you told me your mother
was the chief engineer.

She's both.

I guess they have to wear a lot of hats
to keep those old ships running.

My grandfather held the record.

Five jobs at one time,
two of them on the Bridge.

There was a time

when I gave serious thought
to serving on a cargo ship.

You, sir?

It was a few years before Starfleet
was chartered.

Why didn't you sign up?

Long story.

I'll tell you the next time
we have breakfast.

After we dock,
I'll have Phlox go over with you,

have him take a look at your father.

I'd appreciate that, sir.

You'll be glad to hear the thermal
scanners are up and running.

- And the imaging relays?
- Yup.

We'll drop six of them in high orbit.

That should give us a bird's-eye view
of every volcano on the planet.

You know, there's not gonna be
a lot to do once we get there.

Sensors will record
everything automatically.

You should have plenty of time
to practice your harmonica.

I've talked Chef into doing
something special.

Starting Tuesday, it's gonna be
movie night every night.

Thought you might be interested,
seeing how you enjoyed that Western.

We're gonna be showing the three
greatest horror movies ever made.

Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein
and Son of Frankenstein.

We might even throw in Abbott
and Costello Meet Frankenstein.

I have no interest in horror movies.

How do you know
if you've never seen one?

You don't have to see all of them.
Just come the first night.

I promise you'll like it.

Reanimated life forms,
science run amok.

They're right up your alley.

Four years isn't so long.

My last family reunion was
almost a decade ago.

Starfleet really ought to think about
putting families on starships.

You must be joking.

No one would ever get homesick.

Yes. Well, they'd better post
a psychologist onboard,

because I'd need one if my parents
were roaming the corridors.

On a cargo ship,
you can't walk 10 meters

without running into your babysitter
or a great-aunt.

[COM BEEPS]

HOSHI [OVER COM]:
Bridge to Ensign Mayweather.

Go ahead.

HOSHI: We've gotten
a response from the Horizon.

It's your mother.

Thanks, Hoshi.
Put it through to my quarters.

ARCHER: Captain's personal log,
January 10th, 2153.

We're on course for our rendezvous
with the Horizon.

Unfortunately,
I've just received word

that Ensign Mayweather's family
is facing an unexpected tragedy.

Mind if I join you?

Of course not.

I haven't been up here
since we launched.

You come here a lot?

Every now and then.

Commander Tucker told me
what happened.

I'm sorry.

My mother sent a message to Starfleet
six weeks ago.

But I never got it.

The civilian channels can be

pretty slow.

I should have called him.

We were in com range
a few months ago.

I guess I wasn't ready
to talk to him yet.

He wasn't very happy with me
when I joined Starfleet.

He'd been grooming me for his job

since I was a kid.

I'm sure

it wasn't easy for him
when you left.

But I know for a fact

that he was proud of you.

With all respect, sir,

I'm not so sure he was.

Did he ever tell you
about the letter he sent me?

It was almost
two and a half years ago.

There were a few candidates
I was looking at for helm officer.

I was having a little trouble deciding,

so I contacted their former COs,
hoping for a more personal evaluation.

What did he say?

He wrote
the shortest recommendation.

Just one sentence.

[CHUCKLES]

He said,

he'd never met a more natural stick
and rudder man in his life

and I'd be a fool
if I didn't choose you.

When I saw how
you handled yourself at the helm,

I knew he was right.

I wish

he would have told me that.

As I suspected, it's nothing more
than a simple headache.

I was hoping for something
more serious.

Oh?

I've been coerced
into watching tonight's movie.

Heh, if you're looking for a medical
excuse, I'm afraid you're out of luck.

If it's any consolation,
I'll be there as well.

I agree this form of entertainment
is rather crude

but it can often provide an enlightening
glimpse into human behavior.

Don't be surprised
if you see me here again afterwards.

I've little doubt my headache
will return.

Just a quick tour of the engine room.
That's all I'm asking.

The Horizon's 50 years old.

I'm sure you've seen far more
impressive warp reactors.

Zefram Cochrane designed
that engine himself.

I've heard rumors he personally signed
the inside of each reactor casing.

Oh, uh, almost forgot.

- What's this?
- A few family photos.

I downloaded every picture
I've taken since we left space dock.

Thought your mom might like to see
what her boy's been up to.

- Thank you, sir.
- You bet.

I wouldn't call it
a dangerous mission.

We've gotten into a few skirmishes,
but nothing we couldn't handle.

I got a letter from your sister.

She said you mentioned a close call
with some kind of storm.

We ran into a small wave front
a few months ago.

The crew had to squeeze into one
of the nacelles for a couple of days.

She probably made it sound worse
than it was.

She also mentioned something about
alien soldiers forcing their way aboard.

It was really just
a misunderstanding.

They thought Enterprise
had been abandoned.

Captain Archer convinced them
to leave.

I guess there's no point in asking you
about the Romulan minefield.

How'd you know about that?

I've been serving on cargo ships
for a long time.

I've made a few contacts here
and there.

[SIREN WAILING]

MAN [OVER COM]:
Stand by to go to warp.

[RUMBLING]

Charlie must be at the helm.

What makes you say that?

His warp jumps
were always a little rough.

[CHUCKLES]

- Where are we headed?
- Deneva Station.

Just a quick run to pick up supplies.
We'll have you back in plenty of time.

Watch your step, ma'am.

- Travis?
- Hey.

I haven't seen you for a while, heh.

Did you lock yourself
in a cargo container?

- Do you always have to bring that up?
- Heh.

It's good to see you.

Hey, if you're not busy tonight,
stop by the Mess.

I will.

Did you forget your way?

Guest quarters are over here.

You're not assigned
to guest quarters.

I thought my room
had been reassigned.

It was, but they didn't mind giving it up
for a few days.

We don't get VIPs very often.

I found some of your old things,
thought you might feel more at home.

I can't believe you kept this.

You stayed up all night for a month,
mapping every system

you planned to visit
when you grew up.

I've still got a ways to go.

Oh.

I'm glad you're home.

Me too.

We're going to get through this,
Mom.

Ugh, those, uh, plasma injectors
aren't going to align themselves.

I should go.

Oh, after you've settled in, uh,
come by the engine room.

Some people wanna say hello.

Transfer these canisters
over to Module 4.

Mm-hm.

Are you sure you're old enough
to drive that thing?

An ensign ought to salute
before addressing a captain.

Acting captain.
Don't let it go to your head.

[CHUCKLES]

I'll catch up with you
in a few minutes.

Jacket looks good on you.

Thanks.

Didn't think I'd be wearing it
this soon.

Business must be good.

I've never seen this module so full.

The biggest problem these days
is keeping track of everything.

Dad kept a lot of the inventory
in his head.

I'm trying to reconstruct
the database.

We still can't find
a stromatopod larvae

we're supposed to be delivering
the Demerians.

I only hope it didn't end up
in cold storage, heh.

If you need me to help out
with anything...

Thanks, but we can handle it.

You're on leave.
I'm not going to put you to work.

See you at dinner?

PAUL:
Travis.

You might wanna change into
something a little less conspicuous.

I've deployed the imaging relays.

How long until the show begins?

Approximately 30 hours.

The holometric camera still needs
to be calibrated.

I can help with that.

Get started.

I'd like to share our pictures
with Starfleet,

give Admiral Forrest
a front-row seat.

Echo 3's within range.

It shouldn't be too hard
to set up a downlink.

So you coming tonight?

If the sensors are calibrated by then.

Well, you better make up your mind.
Seats are gonna fill up fast.

According to the database,

Frankenstein is also
a work of literature.

Mary Shelley wrote it,
the wife of a famous poet.

Perhaps a dramatic reading
would be more illuminating.

You expect a Mess hall
full of crewmen to sit still

while someone reads to them?

They'd be more likely to appreciate
the author's true intent.

You wanna start a book club,
go right ahead.

You're gonna be there tonight,
aren't you, sir?

Wouldn't miss it.

Well, I'll save you some popcorn.

[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES]

Might be a good idea
for you to go too.

It might be fun,
and a little fraternizing couldn't hurt.

I don't understand how sitting silently
in a darkened room

constitutes fraternizing.

It's, uh, a communal experience.

I'll tell you what.

Let's make a night of it.

Dinner in the Captain's Mess, 1800,
movie at 1930.

- You'll be my date.
- I beg your pardon?

I'll be a perfect gentleman.

And if you don't like the movie,

I'll never ask you to sit through
another one.

All right.

Try it now.

[COMPUTER BUZZES
THEN BEEPS]

Mm-hm.

I've increased the range
of the navigation sensors.

The helm will make course corrections
a lot quicker.

What's wrong?

I was just working
on a few upgrades.

I don't remember asking
for any upgrades.

You were busy.
I didn't wanna bother you.

You're gonna love this.

You know those port stabilizers
that were always acting up?

Before I left,
I spoke with Commander Tucker.

- Commander Tucker?
- Our chief engineer on Enterprise.

He showed me how to reconfigure
the spatial discriminators.

Shouldn't give you any more trouble.

What's going to happen if these
improvements of yours go off-line?

You'll be back on your Starfleet ship,
out of com range.

Who's going to fix it?

I'd prefer it if you didn't modify
any more systems

without discussing it with me.

Whatever you say, sir.

Maybe you can stop
by Engineering.

Build us a warp 5 engine.

[DOOR BELL RINGS]

Come in.

I heard we had a visitor.

Word travels fast.

[CHUCKLES]

I still can't believe he's gone.

I'm so sorry, Travis.

Thanks.

Aren't you a little old for this?

I don't know.

I thought it might be fun to regress
for a while.

What do you say we turn off
the grav plating and jump on the bed?

And get grounded again?

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

That wouldn't look too good
on your Starfleet record.

How's Enterprise?

Keeps us busy.

We've gone 150 light years,

seen 22 inhabited worlds.

In 18 months?

You can't believe what's out there.

Columbus, Magellan,
Travis Mayweather.

[NORA CHUCKLES]

- How long are you home for?
- Just a few days.

Any chance of getting
an extended leave?

I'm afraid not.

I doubt Magellan got much time off,
either.

[CHUCKLES]

What's wrong?

I don't mean to spoil your visit

but things haven't exactly been running
like clockwork since your father died.

Well, what do you mean?

We missed a rendezvous with
an Orion freighter two weeks ago.

The cargo authority
wasn't too pleased.

We're also low on deuterium.

We've had to dip into the reserves
twice this month.

Morale's been better, Travis.

Horizon's lost its captain

and some of the crew are starting
to wonder

if Paul's ready for the job.

You might have noticed,
he's been a little on edge.

- He's always on edge.
- More than usual.

My mother hasn't mentioned
any of this.

I guess she didn't wanna worry you.

He's only been in command
a few weeks.

Give him a chance. He'll grow into it.

I hope you're right.

This is the last thing
you wanted to hear right now.

- I thought you should know.
- Thanks.

[RUMBLING]

Charlie at the helm?

Just a little spatial turbulence.
You've gotten spoiled on Enterprise.

[EXPLOSION]

That's no turbulence.

Hull fracture in Module 3.
We're venting atmosphere.

Seal it off. Try hailing them again.

They're still not responding.

- What's going on?
- We're under attack.

- By who?
- I don't know.

NICHOLS:
Should I arm the plasma turrets?

No. Transfer reserve power
to the hull plating.

[EXPLOSION]

We need to get out of their
weapons range. Go to maximum warp.

You're hauling 30,000 metric tons.

You're not going to be able
to outrun them.

- You heard me.
NICHOLS: Yes, sir.

Warp 1.6.

One point seven.

Warp 1.8.

They're still closing.

- A little more.
- One-point-eight-five.

They're moving off.

Reduce speed to 1.5.

They attached something to the hull.

Show me.

It's emitting a subspace signal.

Could be some kind of beacon.

Call Engineering.

Tell them to get someone out there
to pry it off.

I wouldn't recommend that.

This is a di-cobalt signature.

A high-yield explosive.

If anyone gets too close,
it might decide to go off.

NICHOLS:
The Constellation sent us this.

This ship attacked them
eight weeks ago

and it planted
a beacon on their hull.

A day later, this cruiser showed up
and demanded their cargo.

The Constellation tried
to drive them off,

but the aliens got aboard
and killed three of their crew.

Then they took the entire shipment.

What kind of weapons does
the Constellation have?

Two plasma turrets, same as us.

There has to be a way
to remove that beacon.

I wouldn't risk it.

If it detonates,
you could lose the nacelle.

If we jettison a few tons of that ore,
can we increase to warp 2?

I don't see why not.

That should allow us to reach
Deneva Station ahead of schedule.

It's well-armed.
We should be safe there.

What happens if they come back
before we arrive?

There's no other choice.
We can't shoot our way out of this.

I've seen this kind of engine
configuration before.

It's not that different
from a Mazarite ship.

Mazarite?

We had some trouble with them.

We managed to knock out
their engines with phase cannons.

We don't have phase cannons.

I can tie the plasma turrets directly
into the impulse engines.

Lieutenant Reed did that

and it increased our yield
by 80 percent.

I'm not gonna risk all of our lives
by getting into a fight we can't win.

If they reach us
before we make it to Deneva,

we'll give them what they want.

If there's one thing
I've learned from Captain Archer,

it's that you don't give in
to people like this.

You're only going to encourage
more attacks,

not just against you,
but other cargo ships.

I appreciate the advice,
but this isn't your problem.

You're not part of this crew anymore.

Jettison that ore
and increase our speed.

Even your father had to make
compromises.

The safest thing to do
is give them what they want.

Cargo can be replaced.

MAN [ON SCREEN]:
Fool.

If this storm develops as I hope,

you will have plenty to be afraid of
before the night's over.

Go on, fix the electrodes.

This storm will be magnificent.

All the electrical secrets of heaven.

This time we're ready, eh, Fritz?

Ready.

What are you doing?

Reviewing this morning's
sensor data.

I thought you were gonna give this
a chance.

It's just a few stitches.

Now look, here's the final touch.

- The brain you stole, Fritz.
- Yes.

Think of it.
The brain of a dead man...

This Dr. Frankenstein,

his technique is not dissimilar
to a practice on B'Saari II.

They successfully used
an isolytic current

to reanimate the bodies
of the recently deceased.

- Really?
PHLOX: Yes.

Of course, the revived individuals
weren't capable

of more than basic
cellular metabolism.

However, the B'Saari have developed
a procedure

that shows promise in repairing
the synaptic...

We can stop the film
if it's disturbing your conversation.

[CLEARS THROAT]

MAN [ON SCREEN]: In 15 minutes,
the storm should be at its height.

Then we'll be ready.

What's that noise?

NICHOLS:
Captain?

[COMPUTER BEEPING]

Looks like someone's rerouting
the impulse relays.

Where?

- Module 5.
- You have the Bridge.

I thought I made myself clear.

If those aliens come back,
you'll thank me.

I told you, I'm not going to take
this ship into battle.

You may not have a choice.

I didn't ask for your opinion
and I didn't approve your modifications.

Stop what you're doing.

- Paul...
- You heard me.

I didn't mean to undermine
your authority.

- Really?
- But you're being unreasonable.

I just want us to be prepared.

Us? You keep talking
as if you're a part of this crew.

It's still my home.

You turned your back on us
a long time ago.

Is that what this is about?
Me leaving?

If you want to be
an effective captain,

you've got to set
your personal feelings aside,

listen to what other people
have to say.

More words of wisdom
from Starfleet?

No, your father.

He said that to me a long time ago.

If he was here now,
he'd tell you the same thing.

You quoting Dad?

You never listened to him.
If you had,

you wouldn't have abandoned
your family.

You barely spoke to him
for the last four years.

You weren't even here
when he died.

That isn't fair.

You knew he was sick

but you didn't really care.

You only decided to stop by
because it was convenient for you.

Hostile aliens aren't our problem.
It's Starfleet and people like you.

Do you have any idea how hard it is
to find new crewmen?

No one wants to run freight
anymore.

They all wanna be explorers,

cruising around
on state-of-the-art ships,

with their personal chefs.

You wanna stand around
feeling sorry for yourself, go ahead.

I've got better things to do.

Take those upgrades off-line.

I'll confine you to quarters
if I have to.

I'm just trying to help you, Paul.

In case you haven't noticed,
you could use a little help right now.

I don't want your help.

You wanna take them off-line?
Do it yourself.

[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES]

I understand you made a few
modifications to the impulse relays.

Next time you might wanna check
with me.

I am the chief engineer.

I knew how Paul would react
and I didn't wanna drag you into it.

[CHUCKLES]

I have played referee between
you and your brother for a long time.

I never thought
I'd actually miss these.

Nutri-paks?

Not just any nutri-pak,
strawberry shortcake.

The first time I tasted real shortcake
was in San Francisco.

It just wasn't the same.

[CHUCKLES]

I think they've ruined
your taste buds.

I wouldn't mind eating like this again.

I'm thinking about asking
for an extended leave.

I'm sure Captain Archer
would approve, considering.

How long would you stay?

- As long as I'm needed.
- But you're needed on your ship.

I'm not the only helm officer.

Even if your captain agrees,
it could be a long time

before Enterprise is back
this way again.

There's a lot for me to do here.

I can help upgrade the guidance
and warp systems.

With a little luck, we could make
Horizon the fastest J-class in the fleet.

You're gonna give up your career,
move back home,

and take orders from your brother?

My career is the last thing
on my mind right now.

Oh, congratulations.

Now you know what it's like
to be a parent.

[CHUCKLES]

I could spend every waking minute
worrying about you two

but I'd never get any work done.

He's not ready, Mom.

You should have seen your father
when he took over.

He was a year younger
than Paul is now.

He was an engineer. He didn't know
the first thing about running a Bridge.

We fell so far behind schedule,
he almost lost his ECA license.

He wanted to quit. I wouldn't let him.

Your brother just needs some time.

You don't think I should stay?

Didn't we have this conversation?

It was right here in this room,
four years ago,

when you first thought about
joining Starfleet.

A lot has changed
in four years, Mom.

That's true.
And a lot more is going to change.

Will we be talking about this again
in another four years?

You're the helmsman
of the first warp 5 starship.

I'm proud of you.

Everyone here is, even Paul.

Though he won't admit it.

If you'll indulge
a little motherly advice.

Don't let your guilt over leaving
guide your decision.

I'll try to keep that in mind.

- Good night.
- Night.

I find it hard to believe
that no one on Vulcan

has ever heard of a horror movie.

There is something similar.

A discipline known as tarul-etek.

It uses disturbing imagery to provoke
an emotional response.

They try and scare you

to see how well
you suppress your emotions.

I don't understand why humans would
feel compelled to frighten themselves.

Gets the heart pumping.

Cardiovascular activity
would be more efficient.

You never did give us
your opinion of the movie.

There were many
medical inaccuracies.

What did you think of the story?

I thought the protagonist
was interesting.

- Dr. Frankenstein?
- No, his creation.

From my perspective,
this was the story of an individual

persecuted by humans
because he was different.

That's one way of looking at it.

In many ways,
the film seemed quite prophetic.

The reaction of the villagers,
for example.

It was similar to the reception Vulcans
received after landing on Earth.

[CHUCKLES]

Ahem, I don't recall anyone greeting
a Vulcan ambassador

with torches and pitchforks.

Nevertheless, many humans reacted
with fear and anger.

They didn't know what to expect.

I'm going to recommend
that Ambassador Soval watch the film.

You're kidding.

I believe it would help Vulcans
who've recently arrived on Earth.

Maybe inviting her to movie night
wasn't such a great idea.

On the contrary. I'm looking forward
to Bride of Frankenstein.

HOSHI [OVER COM]:
Bridge to Captain Archer.

Go ahead.

HOSHI: You might wanna
look out the window, sir.

Thermal shear.

Some of those eruptions
are getting close to Enterprise.

Take us up
another 5,000 kilometers.

HELMSMAN: Aye, sir.
T'POL: Captain.

I'm reading bio-signs
on the planet.

To quote Dr. Frankenstein,
it's alive.

I thought it was uninhabited.

It appears that several microbial
species which live underground

are being unearthed
by the volcanic activity.

See what you can learn about them.

Full power to the hull plating.

We're being hailed.

This is Captain Mayweather
of the ECS Horizon.

Prepare to surrender your vessel
and evacuate the crew.

I'll give you our cargo
but not our ship.

You won't be harmed
if you cooperate.

Drop out of warp.

We're dozens of light years
from our home world.

There has to be some compromise
we can...

[COMPUTER BEEPS]

They're charging weapons.

Bring the weapons upgrades online.

Still think you can disable
their engines?

If I can get a clear shot.

But I can't do that
as long as they're behind us.

[RUMBLES
THEN SIREN WAILING]

They've hit Module 5.

It's going to be tough to maneuver
with 30 kilotons of cargo.

We've got to cut it loose.

Engineering, stand by to release
the primary clamps.

You do remember
how to fly this ship?

I'm sure it'll come back to me.

Take us out of warp.

Release the clamps.

[METAL CLANGING]

They're closing. Forty meters, 30.

Just a few more clamps.

Ten meters.

[SIREN WAILING]

- Starboard plating's down.
- Travis.

Hull plating's gone.

I'm coming around again.

Their weapons are going down.

Keep our turrets locked on them.
Open a channel.

This is Captain Mayweather.

I'd think twice before about attacking
any of our ships again.

Re-dock with the cargo section,
then get us out of here.

Aye, captain.

[DOOR BELL BUZZES]

Come in.

All packed?

Wouldn't wanna wear out
my welcome.

I got a message from Enterprise.
They're running ahead of schedule.

We'll be docking
in about 20 minutes.

If you like,
I'll speak with Lieutenant Reed.

I'm sure he can help you remove
that alien beacon.

Thanks.

So did you ever make it
to Trelkis Ill?

- What?
- Trelkis Ill.

The planet with
the multicentric rings.

You used to talk about it
when we were growing up.

We haven't traveled quite that far.

Well, when you do,

how about sending me
a subspace postcard?

You can count on it.

Well, I'd better get back
to the Bridge.

See you in another four years?

Maybe sooner.

I'd like that.

[KEYPAD BEEPING]

- Welcome back.
- Thank you, sir.

- How's your family?
- They're okay.

We spotted some damage
