剧情

邊境

基因改造人從優生戰爭逃出，劫持了一艘克林貢船，亞契必須靠他們的創造者艾立克˙宋博士抓到他們。

一群基因改造人入侵克林貢猛禽艦，殺死了船員，劫走了船艦。克林貢人威脅說要報復，亞契船長和企業號的船員們被招集，被派遣去找尋那艘船，並且要把罪魁禍首抓回來。亞契先前往會晤被監禁的天才科學家宋博士，他是基因改造人之父。這些引人注目的改造人稱為「歐格曼特人」，他們具有強大的力量、敏捷的身手、高度的智慧，幾乎是無敵的，被視為是克林貢艦船員被屠殺的兇手。

宋因偷走歐格曼人胚胎而被關。他將胚胎帶到崔雷勒斯星系的行星上，把他們扶養長大，直到十年前他被抓為止。宋說他不知道為什麼歐格曼人會劫走克林貢船艦，但他說服亞契，他可以不必戰鬥就使他們自首。再者，宋熟悉歐格曼人出沒的「邊境」地帶，那是位於克林貢帝國和獵戶星人之間的不穩定空間，有磁力干擾的危險區域。儘管船員們懷疑，帶上電子手銬的宋加入了這一個任務。

企業號進入了「邊界」剛開始宋很合作，尤其是船員們遇上麻煩的時候。在獵戶星人的攔截中，特珀和八個其他的船員被傳送到擁擠的奴隸市場裡。醜陋的獵戶星人抓住他們，特珀和其他奴隸被裝上神經束縛器，那會造成痛苦的抽慉，他們等著被拍賣掉。為了救出特珀和其他人，亞契找宋幫助，公然的進入獵戶星人的奴隸市場，尋找被擄走的企業號船員們。特珀已經被拍賣給一個獵戶星人，但是亞契提高價碼，把所有的船員都贖回來。當「準奴隸」們被傳送回企業號，崔普分析偷來的神經束縛器，找出破解的密碼告訴亞契和宋，這樣就可以解除特珀受到的束縛。

亞契和宋急急的解開特珀的束縛，沒想到把其他奴隸的束縛也解除了，市場上哄然大鬧起來。宋趁著這個大好機會溜走，亞契和他在混亂的奴隸市場扭打一番。亞契幸運地贏了，但他知道宋引誘他到這危險的獵戶星，是計劃要自己脫逃。亞契和宋傳送回企業號後，亞契要宋告訴他歐格曼人在哪裡，但是被關住的宋不肯告訴他。他憐憫亞契，不了解他所創造的基因工程歐格曼人，所具有的潛力和優越。

在此同時，被擄的猛禽艦上，爆發了權力鬥爭。第二順位的領導者莫力克想勝過目前的領導者洛金。兩人對他們失蹤的「父親」都徹底忠誠。莫力克覺得洛金把歐格曼人帶到錯誤的路途。莫力克的情人裴西斯假裝對洛金效忠，幫莫力斯展開他的計劃，取得領導權。莫力克成功的招集其他的歐格曼人聽從他的指揮，他和裴西斯引誘洛金道一個陷阱，在那裡莫力克殺了洛金。

不久之後，在莫力克指揮下，損傷的猛禽艦呼叫企業號，要求停泊。莫力克登艦，看到他們摯愛的父親被監禁很不是滋味。亞契被抓得快窒息，李德和特種部隊卻只能無助的站在一旁，掌握全局的莫力克要求釋放宋。宋被釋放，歐格曼人快樂的團聚。宋叫莫力克放開亞契和船員們。宋和歐格曼人將遠離亞契，企業號被破壞，無法找到和抓住他們。和歐格曼人登上猛禽艦之後，宋邪惡地宣佈，他們要一起建立一個新世界，而且要奪回數千個等待出生的歐格曼「兄弟姊妹」。

While on patrol in the Borderland, an area of space between the Klingon Empire and the Orion Syndicate, a Klingon Bird-of-Prey discovers a transport shuttle containing two Human bio-signs. While the two Humans are being escorted to the brig, they attack and murder the crew.

Back on Earth, Dr. Arik Soong sits in his prison cell, working on plans for a modification of various Human organs. At that time, Jonathan Archer visits. After Soong reveals his sarcastic and pretentious personality, Archer tells Soong about the Bird-of-Prey. According to Archer, it was attacked by augments whose DNA matched ones that Soong stole from a medical facility. Soong is removed from prison and is to work onboard the Enterprise to help locate the augments. Soong tells Archer to search the Borderland for the Bird-of-Prey.

On the Bird-of-Prey, a power struggle ensues when the augment leader Raakin scolds Malik for stealing the vessel. Malik takes great offense to this action and contemplates Raakin's future as their leader.

In Enterprise's sickbay, Phlox and Soong have a discussion about genetic engineering and the augments. Phlox is not pleased about Soong's work and behaviour.

After entering the Borderland on May 17, 2154, the Enterprise is attacked by two Orion interceptors. The Orion's abduct nine of Enterprise's crewmembers, including Commander T'Pol and Ensign Jeffrey Pierce. The crewmembers are taken to Verex III to an Orion processing station where they are auctioned off as slaves. T'Pol is a high demand individual and is sold for a high price.

On the Bird-of-Prey, Malik is able to earn the respect of many of the augments and forms a mutiny against Raakin. The mutiny leads to Raakin's death and command of the ship is handed to Malik. The female augment Persis becomes Malik's partner after Raakin is killed.

The Enterprise in orbit over Verex III

Arriving at Verex III, the Enterprise is able to enter the auction due to an old command code used by Soong. Archer and Soong beam down and locate most of their crew. All prisoners are wearing neurolytic restraints, so Enterprise is not able to beam the crew back. When Pierce is up for auction, Archer buys him and bribes an Orion to deactivate his restraint. He is beamed back to the Enterprise where, upon removal from Pierce, the restraint is analyzed. A means to deactivate all the restraints is discovered and Archer returns to the auction, along with Soong. Archer is able to deactivate all restraints for the slaves and a riot ensues. The Enterprise crew is beamed back to the ship while Soong deactivates a transponder he received. Archer pursues Soong, activating his arm restraints. Soong uses this to get over a wall, but Archer catches him in the act. Archer deactivates the arm restraints and Soong falls from a support on the wall. They return to the Enterprise.

Proceeding on to locate the Bird-of-Prey, the Enterprise is, again, attacked by two Orion Interceptors claiming they stole Orion property. Enterprise is suffering damage until a Bird-of-Prey appears and chases off the Interceptors. Docking with Enterprise, they find out it's the augments. In Archer's Ready room, the Captain talks to Malik about returning to Earth, but Malik is hesitant. He warns Archer that he is going to hurt him, then a few moments later, he grabs Archer's neck threatening to kill him if Malcolm Reed or anybody else interferes. Malik, with Archer as a hostage, exits the Ready Room onto the bridge and then to the turbolift.

At the docking port, the other augments hack into the door controls and storm the Enterprise's dock, stunning all guarding MACOs. They proceed to the brig and release Soong. At the docking port, Malik arrives with Archer in front of the rest of the augments and Soong. Malik leaves Archer and returns to the Bird-of-Prey with the others. The ship warps out with Enterprise unable to pursue due to damaged engines.

On the Bird-of-Prey, Soong takes command and tells the augments that they are going to retrieve their 'brothers and sisters'.

背景信息

J.G. Hertzler makes his last Star Trek appearance here as the Klingon captain. At this point, he had been a Star Trek guest star for twelve years ("Emissary" was filmed in 1992), with his best known character being General/Chancellor Martok in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

One of the aliens seen in T'Pol's cell is of the same race as Tarquin.

The man who buys T'Pol at the slave auction is a Tellarite.

Several new changes have been made to the Enterprise sets, including a new captain's chair, redesigned transporter pad, new door frames for sickbay, and several light panels in the bridge set.

The new captain's chair is a reuse of Picard's new captain chair which was seen in a deleted scene in Star Trek: Nemesis.

This is Brent Spiner's first Star Trek appearance without Patrick Stewart (Captain Jean-Luc Picard) and Jonathan Frakes (Commander/Captain William T. Riker).

This is the first episode since "Bounty" in which the Xindi are neither seen nor mentioned. However, several references are made to the events of "Zero Hour".
