This engine will let us go boldly, where no man has gone before."Īs these historic words are spoken, Archer remembers his childhood, when he and his dad placed an anti-gravity controller into the model. And we'll be able to explore those strange new worlds and seek out new life, and new civilizations. Thousands of inhabited planets, at our fingertips. An engine that will some day help us to travel a hundred times faster than we can today. " On this site, a powerful engine will be built. After this, a recording of a speech by Doctor Zefram Cochrane is played, from the dedication ceremony of the Warp Five Complex, 32 years ago. The spacedock where the Enterprise was constructedĪt Enterprise's launching ceremony, Admiral Forrest makes a speech and remarks there is no better person to captain the first warp 5 starship than the son of its inventor, Jonathan Archer. Along with T'Pol – whom Archer saw as a Vulcan " chaperone" – the doctor he met before, at Starfleet Medical, is also added to Enterprise's crew. An embarrassing encounter with the captain's dog, Porthos, then follows, since Vulcan females have an heightened sense of smell. In the captain's ready room, T'Pol is introduced to Commander Tucker by Archer and she gives him a PADD confirming her new assignment. " Do you really want somebody else to do it?" She smiles at him.Īnother addition to Archer's crew is Sub-Commander T'Pol, whose assignment for the position of executive officer and science officer was obligatory in exchange for Enterprise's use of the Vulcan star charts. Sato is reluctant at first, but Archer plays a Vulcan recording of Klingonese, and tells her to think that she would be the first Human to talk to these Klingons. Meanwhile, Archer travels to Brazil to recruit linguist Hoshi Sato as his communications officer. When they enter engineering, Reed introduces Mayweather to Commander Tucker. As they walk through a corridor, Mayweather reminisces about his childhood aboard cargo ships, particularly about their artificial gravity. After the Vulcans leave, Forrest reminds Archer to not " screw this up." Archer looks at the alien doctor treating Klaang and taps on the glass to get his attention.Īboard Enterprise, Lieutenant Malcolm Reed and Ensign Travis Mayweather discuss the vessel's transporter, a brand-new piece of equipment first installed on their ship. However, Archer manages to convince Forrest to approve Enterprise delivering Klaang to Qo'nos over Soval's protests. The Vulcans completely disagree with this they had objected to Humans returning Klaang out of fears that a perceived provincial attitude and accompanying volatile nature of Humans would complicate Human contact with the Klingons so soon. Eventually, it is decided that Enterprise will launch ahead of schedule on a mission to return Klaang to the Klingons' homeworld, Qo'noS. Archer also meets an alien doctor who is providing Klaang with medical care. After being urgently called back to Starfleet Medical, Archer attends a meeting where a group of high-ranking Starfleet officers, including Admiral Forrest, discuss Klaang with several Vulcan dignitaries: Ambassador Soval, Tos, and Sub-Commander T'Pol. Several Starfleet and Vulcan personnel discuss KlaangĪboard a inspection pod, Orbital 6, Jonathan Archer, now a captain in Starfleet, and Commander Charles Tucker inspect the prototype NX-class starship Enterprise NX-01 in the Orbital Drydock Facility, a spacedock orbiting Earth. Although Klaang eventually manages to kill the aliens by blowing up a corn silo with them in it with his disruptor, he is shot with Moore's plasma rifle. A pair of aliens pursue Klaang through a corn field, the Klingon pilot of a crash-landed K'toch-class scout ship, attracting the attention of a farmer named Moore. Thirty years later, the Broken Bow Incident takes place in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, on Earth. Although Henry Archer does not fully understand the reasons behind the Vulcans' constraint, he believes that there must be an explanation. Jonathan responds that – according to Billy Cook, an acquaintance of his – Humans would already be flying at warp five, if the Vulcans had not intervened. Henry corrects his son, noting that the ambassador is actually named Soval, an extremely helpful Vulcan. Jonathan curiously asks about his father's upcoming ship, wondering if it will be bigger than " Ambassador Pointy's" ship. When he recites a famed quote from a speech by Zefram Cochrane, Henry Archer tells him the inventor of the warp drive would be proud of him. In San Francisco of the year 2121, a young boy named Jonathan Archer paints a model of his father's spacecraft.
