trying to prevent a war, Malcolm.
A war that Earth could get draw into.
With all due respect, sir, we shouldn't get involved.
We're already involved.
[ door chimes ]
Come in.
That'll be all, Lieutenant.
Sir...? Dismissed.
You asked for me, Commander?
I've been thinking...
there's no guarantee
the Imperial Guard's gonna believe us.
We've got no evidence
your people are planning this attack.
But there is one Andorian
who might trust us...
at least he does some of the time.
Commander Shran.
Problem is, I have no idea how to find him.
I may be able to help.
Good.
Lieutenant Reed appeared unsettled.
Some of the crew are wondering
if I'm doing the right thing.
Can't say I blame them...
I'm not so sure myself.
I have no doubt Captain Archer
would pursue this same course of action.
That's what I keep telling myself.
Enterprise will be scanning for us at the transport coordinates.
One of us should go there.
It's too dangerous. We're staying together.
Taking the artifact to the High Command
will accomplish nothing.
It might be the only thing that can stop the war.
What war? Between Vulcan and Andoria.
We settled our dispute with the Andorians
nearly two years ago.
V'Las was just stalling for time.
He's been preparing a large-scale attack ever since.
Where did you get this information?
Where do you think?
Assuming, for the moment,
you possess Surak's katra...
he's been dead for centuries.
How could he be aware of plans for a war?
Some of Syrran's memories
must have been transferred in the meld.
Captain...
You think I've lost my mind? I'm not certain
your mind is the one making these decisions.
We should return to the ship. T'Pau can take the artifact
to the capital. I was chosen for this.
"Chosen"?
Interesting choice of words.
If I were in your shoes,
I'd be just as skeptical.
I'm not possessed...
and I'm not delusional.
There are forces at work on your world right now,
trying to undo everything Surak taught your people.
If we fail, Vulcan will be consumed by them.
That's why have to get this thing to the capital.
And I'm going to need all three of us to try and find...
Archer, don't move.
Gallicite deposits.
Are you in possession of anything metallic?
Just this.
[ crackling ]
Thanks for the warning.
Our patrol has returned.
They captured eight Syrrannites from the sanctuary.
Was Syrran among them? No. He is dead.
The Syrrannites say that there were three
other survivors, including a human.
Archer.
They say that he is carrying the Kir'Shara.
The Kir'Shara never existed.
There are scholars who believe it does
and that it was hidden in the Forge.
The Syrrannites claim
that they are following the true path of Surak.
If the Kir'Shara is real,
it could prove them right.
It doesn't exist!
You've been listening to Syrrannite propaganda.
That will be all, Minister.
Sub-Lieutenant, order Major Talok
to find the remaining Syrrannites.
We're dealing with radical insurgents.
They're to be eradicated.
Do I make myself clear?
Open a channel.
To who?
The nebula.
This is Ambassador Soval.
I've come on an urgent mission.
I must speak with Commander Shran.
The High Command has decrypted your security protocols.
We're well aware that your task force
has been hiding in this nebula.
Maybe your information's out of date.
He's in there.
This is Commander Tucker of Enterprise.
We've got some information
you're gonna want to hear.
[ console beeping ]
Sir...
We're being hailed.
Commander Tucker, you have
a poor choice of friends.
An invasion?!
That's correct.
We keep a very close eye on your fleet.
We would know if the High Command were preparing to attack.
V'Las has been assembling ships near Regulus,
beyond the range of your listening stations.
Your leaders may be fools, but they're not suicidal.
They know we will respond.
They were told you're adapting Xindi weaponry
and that you're planning to use it against Vulcan.
That's absurd. Captain
