"What do you got?" He asked immediately. Reed had a PDA in his hands and showed him an image of a man.

"Does he look familiar?" Reed asked. On the picture Archer saw a man of Indian descent with strong features. Looking closer he realised it was a younger version of the man he spoke to. He looked at the bottom of the picture for the name. Khan Noonien Singh. He looked up at Reed.

"You found him. Khan. I know that name. He was an augment from the Eugenics wars wasn't he?" He wondered, Reed nodded.

"When i saw his face i immediately thought about the Eugenics wars. Took a little to find the right person but its definitly him. He is one of the augments that managed to rule a third of the world at one time under an iron fist. Eventually he was defeated though, but he and a couple of other augments disappeared mysteriously. Nobody knew where they went, but there were suspicions." Reed said, the last part in an eerie tone.

"Suspicions of what?" Archer asked but he knew the answer.

"That they escaped in a sleeper ship." Reed said with a smirk. Archer nodded. So it was true, he was an old cryogenic, but not a colonist. He was an escaped war criminal. That still didn't explain how he got here though, nor how he got to be the way he was. Perhaps he and his kin decided to take their augmentation a step or 2 further.

"So we are dealing with a human." Tucker stated.

"Hardly." Reed answered. "These augments had great psychological issues, their bodies are under high pressure and they all have traumas from their augmentations. They are cruel, vile creatures. I wonder what does the Doc know about augments? He has lived on Earth for a while, perhaps he can tell us better."

"Great job Reed, be sure to find out as much as you can about the eugenics wars, whatever we can find out could be used against them. Try finding the details on how Khan was beaten and about his plans specifically. Work along with the doc to find any weaknesses." Archer continued as he made his way back to the turbolift again. Reed simply nodded and ran off. Tucker right behind him.

"Archer to bridge" Archer said as he entered the turbolift.

"Bridge here." He heard T'pol say.

"Commander, we are dealing with human sleeper. An augment. Open a channel to the other ships, we have to talk." He said.

"Understood captain." T'pol responded dutifully. Archer hoped he wouldn't get too much trouble from the Vulcans about what they were dealing with. Once on the bridge he went up to his seat as T'pol returned to her station.

"Channel is opened sir." She said as she sat down.

"Captain Voris, Captain Hernandez, i have identified our adversary." He said in a calm, strict tone like he wasn't alarmed. He explained who the man probably is. Hernandez looked worried but Captain Voris, as always, looked disappointed.

"Augmentations are an abomination. I studied the eugenics wars of Earth. The devastation, the degradation. Humans are still too much focussed on the physical body, instead of the mind." Voris explained.

"You mean to tell me Captain, that Vulcans have never tried to augment their bodies in their history?" Archer just had to ask that before asking the more pressing issue. Captain Voris looked chocked.

"Never, even before we got rid of emotions, Vulcans have never expressed the desire for artificial enhancements." He exclaimed. Archer waved his hand in dismissive gesture.

"Alright, thanks for clearing that up Captain. Now, you say you studied the Eugenics wars. What about Khan Noonien Sing?" Archer asked. Voris simply shrugged.

"I studied the tactics applied and the origin of the war, not the humans involved. I had no such interests." He said, almost ironically. Archer sighed.

"Well thats not very helpfull is it? You don't know how he was beaten before nor about his escape from the planet?" Archer asked again. Instead of Voris answering Captain Hernandez spoke.

"Captain, i might have an idea. As it so happens onboard my ship i have a bit of an augmentations ethusiast. Lieutenant Green. She has done multiple modifications to her body, as well as done some to others back on Earth. Perhaps she can be of help to learn more about whom you speak of." She said. Archer nodded.

"Excellent, show her the footage of our encounter and see if she can identify some of his augmentations and perhaps tell us more about him and his associates. Thank you, Archer out." Archer stood back up as T'Pol cut the feed.

"Captain, i do believe we need to focus more on the man rather than his augmentations." T'pol mentioned. Archer frowned, he didn't have time to figure it all out.

"These augments are threathening a peaceful world full of innocent people. I need to know what we are dealing with, their powers, their technology. I have a feeling we will be forced into a violent encounter and i need to know how we can survive." He told T'pol. She nodded.

"I understand captain, we don't have the time to learn everything about them. But your current communication is with this Khan. If you know how to talk to him, you might be able to talk him out of attacking this planet." She said. Archer thought it over, then nodded.

"Augments were, stubborn. More than stubborn. Terribly arrogant and overconfident. I'm sure this Khan is no different. Perhaps i can use that. I need to know what he wants, what makes him tick. If that will be enough to talk him out of this attack i don't know. But its worth a shot." Archer said, nodding. He stood up again and walked over to the tactical station.

"Bring up the positions of the enemy ships and ours, lets see if we can simulate what the responsese would be to certain maneuvers." He said as he helped the tactical officer put it in the terminal.
