Andorian military records show that Thy'lek Shran was killed during a routine patrol in 2152, years before the events at Vulcan’s Forge or Babel One.

Well, you wouldn’t have, would you? History has forgotten him. Our overzealous Vulcans have made sure of that.

Then it’s on us to make sure he is remembered. Open a temporal path, Maia.

Surprise, surprise. No Vulcan ships. Was this all just a waste of my time, then? Some twisted joke? Or a distraction for a bigger play?

We’re not alone, Commander. The Vulcans have come out to play. I must say, it’s thrilling when the drama is unscripted.

You’re doing this all wrong, Maia. Watch and learn. It’s just a little game, Shran. All you have to do is survive an assassination attempt. That’s not too hard, is it?

More than you can imagine. Listen, Shran. An ambush is waiting for you along your patrol route. You will die without our intervention. We do not intend to let that happen.

This is insane. And the idea that I need you to come and rescue me is downright insulting.

Rather hurt your feelings than let the Vulcans take you out. I’m from a future that doesn’t remember your name. It’s not a pretty place.

I don’t have time for this. I will not stop you from accompanying me if you must. But if you try anything, and I mean anything, the only trace of you will be the ship debris left behind.

This is just like a classic Earth mystery. Except instead of trying to find the killer, we’re trying to find the savior.

There was someone conspicuously missing from the Babel One negotiations. An ally of Captain Archer’s who may have done more than anyone realized to keep him on the right path.

That Andorian patrol ship must be Shran’s. How do we pull this off without revealing ourselves? This isn’t like the Forge or Babel One, where we could operate from the shadows.

It might not matter anymore. It’s a drop in the ocean at this point. I’m surprised this timeline is still standing with all the meddling from those High Command Vulcans and our own rummaging around.

Indeed. The time for subtlety is over. If we work from the shadows, we face a greater risk of failure. But if we can rely on Shran’s cooperation, we may yet put things to rights.

Out in the open. I like it better that way, anyway. Open a line of communication, then, so I can meet the man who will change Andoria’s future.

We do not operate on hunches, but on rigorous analysis and logical deduction. Let us review our evidence before jumping to conclusions.
