data.
There is something familiar about these base-pair sequences.
Familiar?
Mm.
Boshar!
Feeding time is over.
Go back!
Do you think it's wise
to keep wild animals in here?
There are dozens of creatures in your Sick Bay.
I don't let them roam free.
I could never keep Boshar locked up.
He was my first patient.
He tore his side open when I was a child.
I stitched the wound myself.
I have seen these sequences before.
Six months ago, to be precise.
This is Augment DNA.
How did modified human genes find their way into this virus?
Is it really such a surprise, Doctor?
It took only two human Augments to commandeer
a Bird of Prey and murder its entire crew.
The Empire could not allow an inferior species
to gain an advantage on us.
Imagine every Starfleet vessel manned
with genetically engineered humans.
Earth banned genetic engineering
decades ago!
The Augments who attacked you
were relics of another era!
The Vulcans told that
to the High Council.
They weren't very persuasive.
We were simply responding to a threat.
You were trying to create Klingon Augments.
But Soong's experiments were all killed.
Where did you get the genetic material?
Several embryos were found
in the wreckage of the Bird of Prey.
We used them to resequence
a number of test subjects.
There were some
unanticipated side effects.
Their cranial ridges started to dissolve.
Augment DNA was more aggressive
than you realized, hmm?
For a time, it appeared we were quite successful.
Our Augments might have looked human,
but they were Klingon--
stronger, more intelligent.
Then...
their neural pathways started to degrade.
They died in agony.
One of the test subjects was
suffering from the Levodian flu.
The Augment genes modified the virus.
It became airborne.
You should have told me this earlier!
If you hope to ever leave this place,
I suggest you stop asking questions and resume work.
What do you think?
We may be able to reconstruct the directory
with a recursive algorithm.
Is it unusual to have weird
dreams after a mind meld?
Subconscious thoughts
are often exchanged.
They sometimes surface during sleep.
I had a bizarre dream last night.
Commander Tucker was in it.
We were in a strange place.
It was all white.
There was almost a, uh...
romantic quality to it.
I don't ever remember dreaming about
Commander Tucker before. [console beeping]
Most unusual.
The recorder was erased...
deliberately.
Malcolm said there might've been a safeguard.
The memory core was wiped by that microdyne coupler.
You're sure?
It left a unique magnetic signature.
We found it in storage locker C-14.
The last person to access that locker
was Lieutenant Reed.
I'm not quite sure
what you're getting at, sir.
Only someone with security clearance
of alpha-four or higher had access to the black box.
That's just T'Pol, you and me.
I agree.
It is a bit of a mystery.
You're sure that freighter
was destroyed by Orion weapons?
There's no doubt.
I asked T'Pol to double-check
your analysis.
The freighter was fired on
by Klingon disruptors.
With all due respect, sir,
there must have been a mistake.
I've seen the sensor logs.
Someone could have tampered with them.
I want to know
what the hell is going on.
Answer me, Lieutenant.
Respectfully, sir...
I refuse to answer
any more questions.
Malcolm, I never would've believed that you,
of all people...
Corporal.
Lieutenant Reed's been relieved of duty.
Escort him to the brig and confine him.
We've set course for Klingon territory.
We haven't picked up
any warp signatures yet.
I may have to take this ship into their space.
I don't have to tell you how dangerous that is.
If you know where they've taken Phlox...
I have no idea
where the doctor is, Captain.
On that, you have my word.
Your word isn't worth a lot at the moment.
The Malcolm Reed I know would give his life
before committing treason.
I'm not working for the Klingons.
Who, then?
You've
