Author's Note: I do not own any of the characters of Star Trek: Enterprise. They belong to the creators of the show and to Paramount and or Viacom itself. I also do not own any of the films mentioned in this story as they belong to Warner Bros.
This is my first fan fiction for Enterprise thatI wrote a while back after the show had ended. Please be advised that later chapters may have course language that is inappropriate for younger readers. This is my take on what I feel should have been done for Season 5, if there was one. Enjoy!
Enterprise: Where Help is Needed Most
Captain's Starlog: September 20, 2155
Enterprise has just left Sutra 5 in an attempt to establish communications between the various factions on the planet. Some success occurred, but it will take sometime before they are able to mutually agree on the various issues at hand on their planet, which have put them at odds with one another. Sub-Commander T'Pol is concerned about how we have not come into contact with the Romulans after the incident with the Marauder, that left us trying to prevent a war between the Andorians and the Tellerites, which was avoided with the help of Shran and the Aenar. I can only hope that we will be able to prevent the Romulans from causing the Federation that we are trying to establish from failing.
"T'Pol to Captain Archer."
"Go ahead."
"We are entering into the next star system."
"On my way."
Captain Jonathan Archer arrived on the bridge to respond to Sub-Commander T-Pol's notification of another star system that they had reached. They had been in space for four months after attending the conference on Earth, which they hoped would lay the ground work for the Federation and addressing the problem with Terra Prime, led by Paxton. They were exploring new star systems and forging alliances along the way with hopes to get the Federation off the ground and to ease Earth's fears of another attack similar to the Xindi conflict, which killed millions. The crew had been relieved to get back into space.
"Report," Archer replied.
"We have picked up a planet on our scanners," T'Pol stated. "The atmosphere appears to be able to sustain humanoid life. However, I am unsure of the inhabitants of the planet, with regards to being humanoid or not."
"Magnify the screen," Archer ordered. "Let's find out what lives down there."
As the scanners magnified the planet, the crew was able to get a rough idea as to who or even what was on the planet's surface below.
"Sir, they look human," Lt. Malcolm Reed commented.
"There are differences however with regards to the ridges they have on their heads as well as the makeup of their ears," T'Pol concluded.
Archer nodded in agreement.
"T'Pol, setup a landing party to head down to the surface," Archer stated. "Also, tell Phlox that we'll need some prosthetics to look like the general population. And we'll need some proper attire so we won't get noticed."
