has caused a lot of suffering.
So did splitting the atom.
Yet, the first ships to colonize the Solar-system were nuclear powered.
But..
..you're not here to discuss that.
Someone attacked a Klingon Bird of Prey.
The entire crew was massacred, the ship is missing.
I read the reports.
I understand the Klingons are quite annoyed.
Looks like you might've saved Earth for nothing.
Whoever's responsible, jettisoned the Klingon crew into space.
DNA.. was recovered from the bodies.
Let me guess...
Human.
Not quite.
I see.
They were Augments.
The genetically enhanced DNA matched embryos stolen from a medical facility over twenty years ago.
Stolen by you.
Soong used to work at Cold Station 12..
..a top secret medical research station.
Isn't that where Starfleet keeps a stockpile of infectious diseases?
Along with genetically engineered embryos..
..leftover from the Eugenics Wars.
It's been kept from the public for obvious reasons.
I remember Soong's trial.
He wouldn't say what he did with the embryos he stole.
Now, he claims he took them to a planet in the Trialas-system and raised them.
They were around ten years old when he was captured..
..a decade ago.
So there could be a bunch of Augments from the Eugenics Wars running around loose?
Not a pretty thought.
What would they want with a Klingon Bird of Prey?
We don't know.
Neither does Soong.
At least he claims he doesn't.
But he does think, he can convince them to surrender without a fight.
You're bringing him along.
There's also the fact that he spent time on the Borderland.
The Borderland?
That's the area where the Klingon ship was attacked.
It's a volatile region between the Klingon Empire and the Orion Syndicate.
It attracts the most dangerous elements from both.
Sorry I asked.
The Klingons have threatened to retaliate with everything they've got.
We're the fastest ship..
..and the most experienced crew.
We have to find the Augments and bring them back.
It's the only way to avert a war.
We launch in six hours.
We've mastered their engine controls.
Wing-mounted disruptor cannons, photon torpedo launchers.
This ship's an arsenal.
We're finally free.
A fine ship.
I thought you'd be pleased.
I didn't sanction this attack.
If you'd failed they would've come after all of us.
I didn't fail!
Their government knows what we did!
- They have ships hunting for us right now.
- They won't find us!
It was time for us to leave this Godforsaken planet!
That was my decision, not yours!
Have you forgotten who I am?
Have you?
No, Raakin.
Say it!
You are our leader.
Don't ever make me ask you again!
Notify me, when the rest of our supplies are on board!
We're leaving orbit.
Permission to come aboard, sir?
This is my science officer, T'Pol.
No need for an introduction. I admire your people very much.
We share similar view of humanity.
What view is that?
That it could stand some improvement.
I believe that's true of most species, if not all.
My tactical officer, Lieutenant Reed.
Doctor?
I've heard of you..
..but I don't recognize your face. You're not getting your fair share of publicity.
I think I've had all I can stand.
We've prepared some quarters.
You'll be under guard at all times.
If you should decide you need to clear your head.
We're on a starship, soon to be at high warp. Where exactly would I go?
It's this way.
If I could examine the DNA samples the Klingons recovered..
..I could tell you something about the current state of the Augments.
I'll have the information sent to your quarters.
A laboratory would be preferable. Your sickbay.
Dr. Phlox's reputation rivals my own.
Before I was imprisoned, of course.
I'd enjoy trading notes with him.
I'll consider it.
So, how was the honeymoon?
Honeymoon?
Well, you were on Vulcan another two weeks after I left.
I figured...
It comes with everything but its own protein resequencer.
For that, I'll need another day.
I like it.
We don't have time to go over
