The 29th episode of the Star Trek prequel spinoff Enterprise premieres on UPN.
After the Romulan mine incident, the Enterprise is limited to warp 2, the crew has lost use of a major portion of the ship, and long-range communications are down. Archer reluctantly sends out a call to any nearby ships for aid, a message is received pointing the Enterprise toward a space station. The station is completely unmanned, and Archer has to barter with a computer for repairs. The repairs begin immediately once a price is agreed upon – in this case, warp plasma – and the work is not only performed with tremendous speed, but it’s up to or beyond Starfleet specifications. A remote probe even repairs Malcolm’s leg from the injury he sustained while trying to defuse a Romulan mine. But though it seems like a bargain, the station’s computer decides to increase its price – and it’ll cost a member of the bridge crew his life.
