Summary: Angst. Hoshi and Cutler are captured after trying to retrieve Andorian artifacts from a hostile planet.
Prologue
Hoshi poised, readying her bow and arrow as she narrowed her eyes to focus only on the target ahead. She let go of the arrow as she breathed out, watching it fly through the air just as she saw it do in her mind a second before.
Lowering the bow, she watched as the alien several meters ahead of her slumped to the leafy ground. She closed her dark eyes and sighed. She placed the bow at her side and pushed her messy hair out of her face. She turned around, surprised to find no sign of the rest of the away team.
Hoshi heard a crash and turned back just as an arrow hit her arm. She yelped in pain and then slumped over as the drug hit her blood stream.

They beamed aboard Enterprise in a rush. Archer and Trip looked around them quickly before stepping off the padd.
"I told ya to wait fer her!" Trip raised his voice.
"We couldn't wait any longer. They got Cutler, too, Trip. I didn't want to just leave them, but we had too. We'll come back for them," Archer said.
Malcolm rushed into the transporter room and noticed two members were missing from the away team.
"Why isn't Cutler and Sato with you?" Malcolm shot out.
Archer sighed, "We'll get them back" and brushed past the armory officer.
"He left 'em," Trip said, glaring.
"They caught both of them..." he trailed off, as he left the transporter room at a near-run.
***
Archer hated leaving them behind. He had no idea what would happen to Sato and Cutler, but would damn well make sure T'Pol used every bit of her vaunted Vulcan intelligence to find his missing crewmembers.
He braced himself for the worst as he entered the bridge and headed straight for his science officer.
"T'Pol, can you get a lock on Sato and Cutler?" the captain asked, concern clearly etched on every line of his face.
Pressing a few buttons, T'Pol came up with her findings.
"I am sorry captain, they have already been taken underground," the Vulcan replied.
"Dammit!" Archer yelled as he clenched his fists. "Keep tracking them, I want you to beam them up the second you can."
"The aliens will most likely go to the trees soon after taking Sato and Cutler. They usually do when they believe they are safe once again," T'Pol replied, trying to reassure the captain. "They will want to keep the prisoners close by."
Archer nodded and made his way to his ready room to try and figure out a way to get his people back.
