Base Camp
Enterprise is in dock at Earth undergoing maintenance. The whole crew gets shore leave, and for the first third of the episode, hilarity ensues as the senior officers can't resist visiting the ship every couple days to check up on the maintenance crews, much to their annoyance. Finally Archer, Trip, and Reed decide to climb Mt. Everest the old-fashioned way, altough they do use modern medical assistance to acclimatize themselves to the high altitude. T'Pol is invited to go along, but can't see the point of exerting herself that much for no good reason. Instead, she promises to keep a discreet eye on the maintenance crews for them. They set up base camp on Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay's original site. Just as they're preparing to start the final climb to the summit, T'Pol calls them to say that the Enterprise's maintenance has been completed and that Starfleet Command has received an urgent request for assistance from a scientific mission near Epsilon Eridani.

Next episode: Good Intentions

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

"Good Intentions" - NX-01 reponds to a distress call from a Paruthan vessel which contains five dying Paruthans, who are saved by Phlox. It was part of a death ritual to send them out, and if their deaths are thwarted, they will go to their afterlife's hell when they do die. The lone non-believer in the ritual, Zigara, made the call, and now the planet wants both her and Phlox to stand trial. Meanwhile, Tucker's attempts to do anonymous random acts of kindness for the crew leave everyone unsettled.

Next episode: "Download"

 

[FederationHistorian]

"Download" - Ahead of an experimental procedure using data collected from the works of Arik Soong to download memory into a kind of katric ark, Trip offers himself up as a test subject, despite skepticism from T’Pol that the procedure will be a success. After being linked up by Phlox, Trip blanks out from that reality and awakes in 19th century England. In this world, and meets the author of Frankenstein, Mary Shelley. As they get to know each other, they find themselves jumping back and forth between 19th century England and 22nd century America. During their travels, Trip manages to introduce her to T’Pol. But before he can introduce her to the rest of his friends, Trip is awoken by Phlox and Archer, after the data stream ended up crossing over with the archival data NX-01 was going to send into a time capsule, which included a number of Mary Shelley’s works. Trip was pulled before a significant data corruption occurred that would have left him lost amidst the data stream forever. Trip is told he was only out for a minute. But to Trip, it felt like he just experienced another lifetime.

Next episode – “Please Hang Up”

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

“Please Hang Up” - NX-01 is dispatched to investigate when all communications cease between command and the Integrity, with no contact for a week. The ship is located and boarded, found to be pristine on the outside, but powered down, with all the wiring and communications units ripped from the walls. The crew are either comatose or rocking back and forth, covering their ears, barricaded in their quarters. Attempts to communicate with them only distress them, some to the point of death. While Trip and Hoshi work to analyze the damage to the comm units, Phlox and Archer investigate the crew's aversion to communication, which seems to have begun following a strange transmission they intercepted in their travels around the Baunef system...and may not end with them.

A week later, the Challenger meets up with the Enterprise task force, and Commodore Archer. Commander Abdullaev informs Archer that they had to leave Captain Szabo on the planet, and that they came to ask for the help to retrieve him and free Tulmoria.

Archer is hesitant as they are gearing up for a push to free Deneva, and are waiting for more ships to arrive. However, Archer sends 10 Comet class ships with the Challenger to see if they can free Tulmoria, however they do have a timeline, and if it looks like they can't accomplish the mission, are ordered to retreat and meet up with the task force.

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

"Freedom Fighter?" - Reed wakes up after an accident to find that three hundred years have passed that he doesn't remember. He is told that he is in fact Mekal, a warrior that goes into cryosleep periodically, awakened only when there is a battle he must fight, and given an alternate identity and fake memories every time. His new mission is to lead an army of disillusioned warriors into battle against the Unfen (from "United Federation of Planets"), a corrupted organization that controls Earth, to take it back. Among the fighters are descendants of NX-01's crew and a very old T'Pol, who seems to know more than she tells him. He struggles to make sense of what is real and what is illusion, even as he wonders whether the battle is worth fighting. In between, he wakes on NX-01, feverish and delirious, as Phlox fights to save his life.

Next episode: "Mischief Maker"

 

[maneth]

Mischief Maker

While the Enterprise is on a resupply mission to Earth, the crew is granted shore leave in shifts. Timothy Jordan, a disenchanted young man who became vindictive when he was rejected by Starfleet Academy for the third time and banned from reapplying, worked as a bartender at a bar in San Francisco that was very popular with Starfleet personnel. He amused himself by spiking the drinks of his customers in uniform with a substance that caused delayed hallucinations and digestive issues that made it harder to figure out who was doing it, because by the time the symptoms appeared, several days had passed. Both Trip and Reed become sick after visiting the bar when they're on leave.

Eventually he's caught with the assistance of Enterprise and Starfleet security.

Next episode: Shooting the Messenger

 

[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

The attackers are a group of Ganu who wish to keep Starfleet out of their space, despite their government agreeing to allow the installations/traffic, as their citizens are intercepting the communications and becoming "corrupted" by Human beliefs, developing self-hatred and a desire for reform against their old ways. Meanwhile, Travis receives a message from a friend for one of his crewmates, begging her to come back to him, and gets caught in the middle of a long-distance spat.

Next episode: "Close Encounter"

 

[Richard S. Ta]

Close Encounter

Reed, while on an away mission, touches some alien goo stuff that has the unfortunate side-effect of making his penis fall off.

Phlox sedates Reed back onboard Enterprise and reassures Archer (who’s brought Porthos in for a check up) only for hilarity to ensure as Porthos mistakes said penis for a hot dog and eats it.

In the B-Plot, Mayweather tries to get T-Pol to come and chill with him in the Enterprise ‘sweet spot’ but she is having fucking none of it.

It’s unclear as to whether Reed is reunited with his member, and when the others ask Archer what happened, he just shrugs and says ‘who cares?’.

"Water Polo All The Way Down"- The Enterprise is in orbit of a water world inhabited by an amphibious race, the Trytins. Archer is thrilled to see that a form of water polo is a world wide sport. Thinking this is an "in" for negotiations Archer mentions he is a fan of water polo. The leader sets up a match and convinces Archer to participate. T'Pol and Phlox aren't convinced this is a good idea.

It turns out the matches start on the surface but as each teams advances, the games move further down into the ocean to end up on the ocean floor in an arena in the capitol city. Now T'Pol and Phlox need to find a way for Archer to compete in the deep sea. To decline in the very competitive and sports oriented culture of Trytin could skuttle all negotiations.

The station continues to drift, except it's being pulled towards an unseen force, with the lone crewmember inside locked in a storage freezer. While Archer and Tucker try to intercept the station, Reed and T'Pol play referee for the other crew members, hoping to salvage this cooperative mission.

Idle Hands

This episode's set in an alternate universe where Enterprise got a 5th season and Commander Shran joined the Enterprise crew. Some ideas credit Admiral Shran.

Following the loss of the Kumari, Commander Shran is kicked out of the Imperial Guard. He retires to Andoria to nurse his wounded pride in peace. But before his brains are completely addled by his excessive consumption of Andorian ale, Archer invites him to join the Enterprise crew as a tactical officer, while Reed is promoted and put in charge of the MACOs who've been serving under temporary command following the death of Major Hayes.

In spite of all the progress in Vulcan-Andorian relations that has been made following the P'Jem incident, Commander T'Pol is initially not at all happy with Captain Archer's decision to invite Shran to join the crew, and so she requests a leave of absence to consider her options. Archer agrees but tells her that it'll have to wait because the Enterprise has been sent to investigate some odd events in Andorian space. Shran's remaining contacts prove invaluable in tracking down a band of dissidents who were planning to stage an anti-alien coup and follow Terra Prime's example.
