You'll win in eight moves.

You're really starting to get a feel
for the game.

32 pieces, 64 squares.

lt's not as if it's difficult.

The total number of possible outcomes
is limited.

-10 to the 123rd power.
-That's what l mean.

Chess is so predictable.
l'm surprised anyone bothers to play it.

Their average lifespan's
only about 100 years.

With no time to play
all the possible games.

-What a waste.
-Careful...

no emotional involvement.

l know the rules.
Observation without interference.

You'll win in five moves.

l'm the ship's champion.

l win all the tournaments.

How do you think they'll react
to what's on this planet?

Well, that's what we're here to find out.

But in my experience,
all physical species are alike.

l don't expect humans
will be any different.

Do you think our hosts will die tonight?

lt's possible. For some of the species
that have come here...

l've seen the whole crew die.
For others, only a few.

-But somebody always dies.
-Always.

Your move.

lt's been a long road

Gettin' from there to here

lt's been a long time

But my time is finally near

And l will see my dream
Come alive at last

l will touch the sky

And they're not gonna
Hold me down no more

No, they're not gonna change my mind

'Cause l've got faith of the heart

l'm going where my heart will take me

l've got faith to believe

l can do anything

l've got strength of the soul

And no one's gonna bend or break me

l can reach any star

l've got faith

l've got faith

Faith of the heart

l can't wait to get back.

Two days ago,
you couldn't wait to get off the ship.

Sifting through a Klingon garbage dump.

Not my idea
of exploring strange new worlds.

Getting tired of exploration, Ensign?

All the planets starting to look alike?

-Not a chance, sir.
-l didn't think so.

l feel like l'm still breathing dirt.

-Shuttlepod One to Enterprise.
-Welcome back.

-How did your treasure hunt turn out?
-Well, nothing worth bringing home.

The Klingons must have been here
years ago.

All they left was an old power cell
and a bunch of empty ration packs.

-And a latrine.
-Yeah.

A long hot shower's looking pretty good.

Shuttlepod One out.

Commander? What's wrong?

Take over.

Go to dock.

Shuttlepod One to Enterprise.

l have a medical emergency.

Commander Tucker's collapsed.

-Can you bring the shuttlepod in?
-Yes, sir. At least in simulations.

Slow and steady, Ensign.

-l'll see you in Decon.
-Understood.

Call Phlox.

Trip, how you feeling?

Like l've been gut-punched
by a Tellarite.

Doctor, should we start
with the bio-gel?

Not until we know
what we're dealing with.

Three other landing parties returned
from the surface with no ill effects.

We need to check out
the shuttlepod, too.

See if any of its environmental systems
were at fault.

See if any of its environmental systems
were at fault.

l can do that, Captain.
l should have thought of that myself.

Stay where you are, Trip.
Phlox needs blood samples.

Here's the medkits.

Hoshi, what is it?

Before Commander Tucker passed out,
he started coughing.

Are you feeling any other symptoms?

l'm gonna guess that's a yes.

l'll prepare anti-nausea medication.

You get me those blood samples
as soon as you can.

Anything?

Whatever's afflicting them, it's not
showing up on the standard scans.

-Doesn't sound good.
-lt's not.

l studied your report on how
the Klingons reacted to the infection.

Their response was typical for
a species at their level of development.

The Klingon commander didn't let
his landing party back on his ship.

-Your point?
-Captain Archer did.

Captain Archer's done nothing different
from the Klingons.

The launch bay and Decon Chamber
are completely isolated...

from the rest of the ship.

So it doesn't matter if an infected
landing party comes aboard.

Precisely.

Humans don't want to interact with...

dying crewmates any more
than Klingons did.

lf it was left to me,
l'd stop our observations immediately.

We have nothing more to learn
from humans.

l don't know.
They're showing concern for each other.

The Cardassians did that
when they were here, didn't they?

But in the end, they killed their
infected crew, just as the Klingons did.

The only difference
is the time it took to reach that decision.

Maybe the humans will surprise us.

l've been observing aliens for 800 years.

l've yet to be surprised.
Still, we should follow protocol.

Start questioning the infected crew.
l'll check in with the doctor.

Okay...

this is for nausea, muscle pain,
and a cough suppressant.

l'm not coughing anymore.
Neither are you.

-Maybe we're getting better.
-Well, doctor's orders.

Commander.

Hoshi.

-Just wanted to say hi.
-We're a little busy right now, Travis.

Can you tell me
what's in the hypospray?

Something for our symptoms.

Yeah. Phlox doesn't know
what's wrong with us yet.

Have either of you
faced serious illness before?

Aren't you supposed to be on duty?

l was curious to know
how you compare this experience...

with other illnesses
you might have contracted.

Travis...

we really need to get some sleep.

-l only have a few more questions.
-Thanks for stopping by.

But....

Lieutenant Reed...

-something l can do for you?
-Headache.

Of course. Just a moment.

Are these the blood tests for
Commander Tucker and Ensign Sato?

That's correct.

l'm not detecting
any vascular involvement.

Your headache. Not a bad one, l take it?

No, not yet.
Although it feels like it could get worse.

Preventative measure. A lot to do today.

Mild analgesic it is.

Doctor, l'm curious
to know how you think...

these tests will help you develop
an effective treatment.

So am l.

l mean, are you approaching
this strictly...

on a symptomatic level,
or do you believe there's any similarity...

to other conditions
you've seen in the past?

Lieutenant,
l believe l can put your mind at ease.

lf your colleagues have returned
with a contagious illness...

there is no way it can spread
to the rest of the ship.

We are all quite safe.

l'm not worried about that, no.
l'm interested in the methodology--

Out! l have a lot to do as well.

-You ever see The Andromeda Strain?
-Strain of what?

lt's a movie, mid-20th century.

Let me guess...

Dr. Andromeda builds a monster,
and it kills him in the end.

lt's about an extraterrestrial disease.

All your movies are the same.
l can't keep the stories straight.

This reminds me of my dorm room
at Starfleet Training.

Got into a lot of trouble at old STC.

l got kicked out.

Well, you can't stop there.

ln my second month, l...

l had a difference of opinion
with the Company Commander.

l broke his arm.

-Can l ask why?
-Poker.

You broke his arm playing cards?

He tried to shut down a game
l was running...

for some of the recruits
and a couple of the training staff.

Hold on.

You ran a floating poker game at STC?

The way the regulations are worded...

gambling was an honour violation
only if it took place during duty hours.

So l ran the game on weekends.

One night my C.C. showed up...

tried to sweep all the chips off the table,
and l....

Well, l have a black belt in aikido.

l think he was just upset
that l hadn't invited him to play.

What happened?

l got a bad conduct discharge.

How the hell did you end up
on Enterprise?

Starfleet needed language specialists...

more than they needed to make
an example out of me.

They let me back in on probation, and...

here l am.

The closest classification it matches
is a virus.

Highly contagious. Silicon-based.

This is an M-Class planet.

All life forms down there
should be carbon-based.

l can only surmise
the virus was brought here.

Perhaps by a meteorite,
which could explain why...

only one of our landing parties
encountered it.

ls there a treatment?

There's no record of anything like it
in the Denobulan database.

Then it's up to you.

l'll do all l can, Captain, but at the rate
the pathogen is reproducing...

Commander Tucker and Ensign Sato
have less than five hours to live.

The doctor identified the pathogen.

That happens 37%/o of the time.

But no one's made the decision
to abandon the infected crewmembers.

Then this will likely be one of the times
when everyone dies.

Travis, if that's you again....

lt's me.

Next time l ask to go
on a landing party...

talk me out of it, okay?

You're usually too stubborn
to be talked out of anything.

But l'll do my best.

-How's Hoshi?
-Sleeping.

Whatever Phlox gave us,
at least it's helping with the pain.

Phlox identified
what's causing all the trouble.

A silicon-based virus.

l don't suppose he's on his way
over here with the cure.

He's working on it.

-So is T'Pol.
-So there is no cure.

Not yet.

l'm getting the idea
you're up against a deadline.

lf you mean, how much time do you
have, it's too early for that kind of talk.

Your own immune system
could knock this thing out.

l remember Exobiology 101, Captain.

Humans are carbon-based.

Our immune system can't fight silicon.

Don't you give up on me.

There's still a bunch of planets out there
we haven't seen.

Get some rest.

We're looking for signs of elevated
intelligence in the species we observe.

Rational intelligence, yes.
Which Archer has not demonstrated.

The longer the infected crew
remain onboard...

the greater the risk
that quarantine will fail.

l'm sure Captain Archer knows
exactly what the risk is.

Maybe it's not as important to him
as standing by his crew.

lt's just as probable that he hasn't
realised how hopeless the situation is.

There's a way to be sure.

We chose the Helmsman and
the Armoury Officer for good reason.

They're both stationed on the Bridge...

yet neither plays a critical role
in a medical emergency.

Which is why we should inhabit
the Doctor and the Science Officer.

Archer relies on their findings
to make his decisions.

We could witness that as it happens.

The more people we inhabit...

the greater the chance
that we will inadvertently interfere.

The more people we inhabit,
the more we'll be able to observe.

How many languages can you speak?

That's not how it works.

There are a lot of common patterns.
l'm just good at hearing them, that's all.

Good? You're a genius.

The way you can pick up
an alien language...

you've never heard before
and start spouting it back to them.

l got to tell you, l've always
been jealous you can do that.

l wish l could fix warp engines...

with duct tape and a pocket-knife.

lt's...

a bit more complicated than that.

Sometimes.

Seriously.

Engineering, building things.
Have you always been good at that?

When l was a kid,
not so good at building.

But l was a terror
when it came to taking things apart.

My folks used to put all our kitchen
appliances on the highest shelves.

One Thanksgiving,
l have no idea what l was thinking, but...

l removed every screw...

from this big dining-room table we had.

lt was so old,
the wood sort of stuck together.

So it stayed standing,
until my dad put the turkey down.

l spent the next month in my room.

How old were you?

Twenty-four, twenty-five.

-How long have they been there?
-We didn't see you there.

We didn't want to interrupt you.

-How's the research coming?
-We're waiting on new test results.

We thought we'd see
how you two were progressing.

You're the ones
with the medical scanners.

We were more interested
in discussing your state of mind.

Look, if you really want
to know how we feel...

we'd be a lot better knowing
you two were back in Sickbay...

working on the cure for this.

Of course. We're going there now.

Commander, Ensign.

They both came to see us. Maybe
that means they're almost finished.

Yeah, unless there's
nothing more they can do.

They're very brave,
the way they're facing death.

Their courage isn't at question.
Their intelligence is.

-You want the humans to fail.
-This isn't a competition.

Either a species' intelligence
is developed enough for First Contact...

or it isn't.

Perhaps we should consider other
qualities in making our decision.

This is the measure we have used
for 10,000 years.

lt's not our responsibility to change it.

Then whose responsibility is it?

There.

lf Phlox is right about the virus
coming here on a meteorite...

that crater might be the source of it.

Which means the Klingons at this
campsite must have been infected, too.

Set up a priority channel
to Starfleet Command.

We need to find out
which Klingon ship...

explored this world, and whether
or not they developed a cure.

Right away, sir.

Those are the new test results
my host is waiting for.

We should leave these creatures
to their work undisturbed.

The Helmsman and the Armoury Officer
are back on the Bridge.

The altered immune receptors
weren't effective.

This could indicate the virus is sensitive
to ionising radiation.

At levels that would be fatal to humans,
but it's a start.

l'll prepare new samples for testing.

Hoshi...

Hoshi, wake up!

l was back in Brazil...

the shuttle was coming
to take me to Enterprise.

That's where we are.

Captain Archer needed me early.

l didn't get the chance to say goodbye
to my students.

You'll see them again.

l've heard from Starfleet.

They're working through diplomatic
channels to contact the Klingons...

but it might not be necessary.

This spectrograph
identifies a Klingon alloy.

That's the signature
of standard hull plating.

l found it here.

You've detected a debris cloud in orbit.

lt's what's left of a Klingon shuttlecraft.

Their response
to an infected landing party.

The commander killed
his own shuttle crew.

They didn't even plead for mercy.

l mean, they wouldn't, would they?
Being Klingon.

Captain, does knowing what
the Klingons did help us at all?

At least we know we don't have to
bother asking them if they have a cure.

But if they had developed one,
you'd ask them for it. Right?

On bended knee.

Hoshi...

we're in quarantine for a reason.

l have no idea what you're saying...

but you can't break the lockout code.

Math is just another language.

Quarantine breach on D-Deck.

The Decon Chamber
has been unsealed.

Someone's overriding
the safety interlocks.

Shut down all power to D-Deck.
l want those doors sealed.

Hoshi, you have to stop.

That's an airlock.
You open those doors, we die.

-Hoshi, come on.
-l need to tell them...

while there's still time.

The Captain won't let us down.

Trip to...

whoever's out there...

we're back.

Commander,
l want you to set your hypospray...

for three units of sonambutril.

That could drop a horse.

We can't risk Hoshi
wandering off again.

Especially since it seems
she can override...

every security safeguard on Enterprise.

Yeah, she's full of surprises today.

Sweet dreams, Houdini.

Anything else?

-lt's your turn, Trip.
-Come on, Captain.

Commander, the virus is incompatible
with carbon-based life.

lt's attacking your bodies
in ways l can't predict.

You think l'm gonna wander off, too?
Start opening the wrong doors?

-Not if you're sedated.
-Sorry, Trip.

Commander.

l'm just wondering if either one of us
will ever wake up again.

-You should lie down right away.
-l won't argue with that.

How close are you to stopping this?

T'Pol and l have isolated
a specific frequency of radiation...

that disrupts the silicon matrix
of the virus.

Sounds promising.

Unfortunately,
the dosage required would be lethal.

There's got to be
some kind of a trade-off.

A way to produce enough radiation...

to slow down the virus
without killing the patient.

-That's what l'm working on.
-Work faster.

We can stop
what this virus is doing to them.

That's not why we're here.

We came to observe their response
to the unexpected...

not to watch them suffer.

This is not the place
to be having this discussion.

l know where we can talk undisturbed.

The sensations in this host
are different from the others.

l'm experiencing physical pain.

So am l.

Why should any species have to endure
this weakness?

Because the desire to overcome it...

will spur them to move beyond
the limitations of the physical world.

-Maybe that isn't true for all species.
-lt was true for us.

You can't be awake.

Not with that much sonambutril.

Our ancestors were physical beings.

Well, what worked for us
might not work for everyone.

Humans have different qualities.

Nothing l haven't seen before.

What do you have
against this species?

What disturbs me most about the
humans is their capacity for violence.

Extraordinary.

Klingons embrace violence.

The humans try to avoid it.

Humans say they avoid it,
but their words don't....

We're being observed.

We're being observed.

Captain, T'Pol,
l was just coming to see you.

These are brainwave readings
of Commander Tucker and Ensign Sato.

-What is the significance?
-The patterns aren't human.

Did you know they have this capability?

He must have used
Denobulan technology.

l see.

Are you responsible
for what happened to my patients?

We had nothing to do with it.

We come here only to study how
physical species react to the unknown.

You can help by telling us
how you detected our presence.

That happens in less than 2%/o
of our missions.

Commander Tucker and Ensign Sato
were sedated.

They shouldn't have been able
to stand and talk.

lt's been so long
since we had physical form...

we weren't able to distinguish sleep
from sedation.

We'll remember next time.

ls there anything you can do
to help my patients?

We're here to observe.
We can't interfere.

You're interfering with me!

Our subjects are human.
You're Denobulan.

You were inhabited a few hours ago,
an intriguing experience.

-l have no recollection of that.
-Memories are simple to adjust.

You're going to adjust mine again?

So l won't remember a word
of this encounter.

Or what you observed
in the Decon Chamber.

lf you have that ability,
you must be able to help my patients.

-We could.
-But we won't.

Thank you for your help, Doctor.

No wonder you erase memories.
Your behaviour is appalling.

According to what l read
on the Doctor's medical pad...

he's learned how to stop the infection.

l've seen seven other species develop
the radiation cure. But never in time.

Did we make First Contact
with any of them?

Of course not.

Expending resources to attempt
an impossible task...

is not a sign of intelligence.

The Captain and Science Officer
have decisions to make.

We need to return to our original hosts.

For the radiation to destroy the virus
without killing the patient...

it must be precisely focused.

The emitters in the Decon Chamber
aren't suitable...

but the bio-scanner in Sickbay is.

To move them from Decon to Sickbay...

we'll need to expand
the quarantined area.

That won't be a problem.
We're going to make this work.

Ensign Sato's condition is deteriorating.
We need to hurry.

Engaging quarantine.

Reed to Bridge.
l confirm a positive seal.

Environmental systems are isolated.

Entering the quarantine zone.

She's going into oligemic shock.
Captain, she's dying.

Get her on the bio-scan bed.

She's stopped breathing!

Someone always dies.

Hoshi.

Phlox!

What are you doing?

This equipment's not designed
for EV gloves.

-l'll be your hands.
-No, Captain, no!

Right now, Enterprise needs a doctor
more than it needs a captain.

Attach the leads 20 centimetres apart.

l don't understand.

ln 800 years,
no one's ever done that before?

No.

Not once they know it's hopeless.

You need to inject 40 units of
trinephedrine into her heart.

No! That can't go deep enough.

Old-fashioned, but effective.

Angle it slightly more to the right...

now in one quick motion,
insert it three centimetres.

Press the activator.

Clear!

Come on, Hoshi.

300 millijoules.

-Captain.
-Again!

340.

She's gone.

Captain, help me
with Commander Tucker.

How many have to die before
you'll admit humans are different?

-We need to stop this.
-l will not depart from protocol.

The incident isn't over.

When the first death
occurs on the ship...

there's a 68%/o chance the rest
of the crew will become infected.

What more will that teach us
about them?

All this would have happened
whether we were here or not.

We are not responsible.

Maybe we should be.

We need to move him into the scanner.

lt didn't work.

l'm sorry, Captain.

Not your fault, Doctor.

There's nothing more l can do
for Commander Tucker...

but you've still got a few hours. There
has to be something else l can try.

You should continue your work
on the Bridge.

Less chance of something going wrong
with your suit.

l won't give up.

You know where to find me.

-Archer to T'Pol.
-T'Pol here, Captain.

-l take it you've been watching.
-l have.

-Then you know you're in command.
-Yes, Captain.

l would like to think
you'll stay in command.

Don't let Admiral Gardner sneak
in someone over your head.

-l'll do my best.
-l know you will.

l need to look after Trip now.

We'll talk again.

We'll talk again.

Captain...

if Commander Tucker
becomes conscious....

l'll let you know right away.

Archer out.

l have such respect for you,
Captain Archer.

-Trip?
-Not exactly.

l'm an Organian...

a non-physical life-form.

Trip is my host.

-What did you do to him?
-Nothing.

We never interfere in the
natural development of other species.

We only observe.

Did you know about the silicon virus?

That's why we come here.

To see how different species react
when they encounter it.

You knew about the virus
that killed two members of my crew...

and you didn't warn us?

l wanted to...

but it's not up to me.

You're breaking every rule we have.

Because they don't apply
to this species.

That is not our decision to make.

-lf we don't challenge the rules--
-l don't care about your rules.

Tell me what happens to Trip and Hoshi
when you're finished with their bodies.

We have to leave them as they are.

Dead?

l understand...

why you won't get involved
with a species' natural development.

l've faced that decision myself.
lt isn't an easy one to make.

-Then we agree.
-No, we don't.

Our encounter with the virus...

was an accident,
one that you could have prevented.

Then how would
we ever learn about you?

Ask us. Talk to us.

Just like you're doing now.

Talking is a limited form
of communication for us.

We're much more advanced
than humans.

Not from where l'm standing.

Maybe...

you've evolved into beings...

with abilities l can't comprehend,
but you've paid a hell of a price.

You've lost compassion and empathy.

You've lost compassion and empathy.

Things that give life meaning.

And if that's what it takes to be
advanced...

l don't want any part of it.

We're leaving now, Captain.

You won't remember a thing
about our presence.

And in three hours, you'll die as well.

No.

We have the power to save them all.

-Are you defying me?
-l'm defying the entire protocol.

What Archer has done today...

his act of compassion...

you've never witnessed that before.

-ln time, we'll study other humans.
-There's another way.

Experience compassion for yourself.

You want to know what it means
to be human...

you need to do more than observe.

Archer to the Bridge.

T'Pol. Go ahead.

You wanted to know
when Trip was awake.

Yes.

Well, you better get down here because
he's talking up a storm, and so is Hoshi.

-Captain, Hoshi--
-You too, Phlox.

Maybe one of you can tell me
what the hell just happened.

You're all completely free of the virus.

lt has to have been a delayed reaction...

to Commander Tucker's
radiation treatment.

But how it spilled over to you and Hoshi,
l have no explanation.

Obviously, the pathogen's behaviour is
more unpredictable than we assumed.

l'm sure someone
at Starfleet Medical will figure it out.

But for now...

we're going to leave a warning beacon
in orbit here...

to make sure what happened to us...

never happens to anyone again.

You realise the consequences
of what we've done.

We will never be able to observe
another species encounter this virus.

Good.

l'm looking forward
to making my first report.

After 10,000 years,
the rules need to change.

These humans
have not been a good influence on you.

l would not encourage
further encounters.

l don't think we can avoid them.

l'm going to recommend
that we start preparation...

for an official First Contact mission.

lndeed.

And at the rate they're progressing...

that will barely give us 5,000 years
to prepare.

Then we'd better get started.
