Hold on. So you're telling us that the Xindi assault on Earth never happened? That it’s been so long since then that the Federation just let them stroll up and sign an application?

That’s enough, Trip. Remember, this is the future of a timeline different from our own. Nothing will ever change or erase what happened to those people.

Understandable. If we’re going to have any hope of getting back home then we need to keep our heads clear. But before that happens, we’re going to listen to what the Independent has to say.

You said that the Xindi fooled the Federation into thinking that the sphere network in the Delphic Expanse was a means of generating renewable energy. But how do we know that it isn’t?

An unidentified benefactor contacted our Station and provided us with evidence. He claimed that his identity was irrelevant, but that he was contacting us from an undetermined point in the future.

I have a bad feeling that I know exactly who you’re talking about. I’m assuming he had something to do with the Suliban fleet chasing us into that wormhole.

The unidentified figure seemed to be convinced that you were instrumental in foiling the Sphere-Builders plot.

A fair assumption. Our intervention has already proven vital in preventing the Sphere-Builders from gaining leverage in Federation space. We may be able to assist them, Captain.

There’s still one thing I don’t understand… The location of the Delphic Expanse in this timeline just doesn’t add up with our records. They’re hundreds of lightyears apart.

If what the Independent is saying is true, then the Sphere-Builders have gone to great lengths to execute their plan again in an entirely different timeline, hundreds of years apart.

There’s only one way to find out. Independent, escort us to this Expanse of yours. We need to confirm that the spheres serve a similar function in this timeline.

Well, the good news is that the impulse engines aren’t a complete write-off. Thanks to the Independent’s help, we should be able to get the Enterprise up and running again.

The bad news is that I don’t even have an ETA on a fix right now. We could be stuck here for a while.

Wait a minute, Captain. I don’t think we’re going anywhere. We’ve got several Xindi signatures on a confirmed intercept vector. With those shields up, it doesn’t look like they’re coming to say hello.

Visual confirmation of the sphere has been acquired. While the sphere seems to be active, an initial assessment of the sphere fails to note a cloaking barrier.

Dialogue
I guess that’s part of the whole charade they’re selling to the Federation. No need to hide the spheres if they’re being touted as a source of renewable energy.
Objective ID

Phase

Character
Archer
Dialogue
So that’s their plan; hide in plain sight while pretending to contribute to the Federation… then attack while their guard is down. It’s definitely duplicitous enough to be attributed to the Sphere-Builders.

We still need to be sure that the spheres are performing the same functions that we know of. Take us closer. Independent, watch our six.
