Cold Station 12 ( episode ) Soong ' s Augments take control of a medical facility containing more augment embryos and several dangerous diseases . ( Part 2 of 3 ) Summary . Teaser . In 2144 , Arik Soong gives a lecture to his young children , remarking on how genetically - engineered people like them have been feared by Human s since the Eugenics Wars of the 20th century . Young Malik asks if there are any others like them . Soong remarks that there are – and one day , it will be their duty to free them . Eleven years later , Dr . Soong and his grown Augment children head to Cold Station 12 aboard a to free other embryos following his escape from the custody of the starship . As they plan their mission to steal the remaining embryo s , Malik notices they can take out the life support system easily . Soong dismisses it , as it would kill the staff . He makes it clear no one is to be killed , even if they put up a fight . Malik accepts it , for now . Act One . " Enterprise " arrives at the planet Trialas IV , the settlement where Soong raised his children . Upon entering the structure , Commander Tucker finds that some medical equipment from the settlement has been taken . Captain Jonathan Archer orders him to find out what exactly was removed . Meanwhile , Lieutenant Reed and a detachment of MACO s search the settlement , they discover there is only one person : Udar . After he tries to escape with a knife in his hand , Captain Archer punches Udar , knocking him out . Aboard the Bird - of - Prey , Soong is looking at a PADD that was kept by Raakin . He remembers him as a bright young man , very interested in astronomy . He asks Malik where Raakin is noting that none of the other augments is willing or able to provide any information , and Malik tells Soong that Raakin is dead . Malik admits to killing him , in what he claims was self - defense , in a confrontation in a corridor . He begins to get emotional and Soong , enraged by this news , grabs Malik and pushes him against the wall . Malik tearfully apologizes to his father for the killing and Soong forgives him , telling Malik that maybe , if he had been there for his " children " , things would have been different . Captain Archer talks to Udar in sickbay . Udar , who had been left behind because for some reason did not have the same physical or intellectual gifts as his " siblings " , refuses to tell the captain where his " brothers " and " sisters " are headed ; only that " Enterprise " will not be able to stop them . Just then , Tucker contacts Archer and tells him that the medical equipment that was missing from the settlement were incubator s – artificial wombs . Archer then receives new orders from Starfleet . He learns that there were over 1 , 800 other embryos kept at Cold Station 12 and , since Soong is probably headed that way , Archer is given orders by Admiral Forrest to stop him , using whatever force is necessary . After formulating a plan to get the embryos , the Augments then hijack a Denobulan medical ship , the " Barzai " . Act Two . Archer arrives at sickbay to learn that Udar can be discharged . He informs Phlox that a colleague of his , Jeremy Lucas , is the station ' s senior medical director . Phlox then asks to be part of the boarding party . Archer accepts and then asks Udar to the captain ' s dining room to talk . There , Archer intends to get through to him . He says he should go to school when he gets back to Earth , though Udar was under the impression he would be jailed . When calling Soong his father , Archer then takes out a PADD which has his biological parents ' information on it . Confused , he picks up the PADD to read it . Meanwhile , the augments easily infiltrate the station using the Denobulan ship , and Persis takes out the two security officer s without killing them ( as Soong wished ) . Lucas , working in the lab , is informed that the station ' s communications is down . Then , everyone in the room is knocked out by an anesthesia gas . Archer finds Phlox in the mess hall trying to gain a bit of weight , but he ' s not hungry , dwelling on the fate of his friend Lucas . Archer assured him they ' re getting there as fast as they can . He also relates his father ' s struggle with Clarke ' s Disease , noting that perhaps Soong has a point , that genetic engineering doesn ' t have to be strictly illegal , but can do some good . Phlox chalks it up to instinct being behind intellect . Archer notes Denobulans never came close to destroying themselves , perhaps because they did not have that failing . Upon breaking into Cold Station 12 , things get a little uglier when Lucas says he doesn ' t have access to the embryo chamber , as he did earlier . Malik thinks he ' s lying , but Soong believes him and has the whole team locked up in a separate room . Lokesh then gets to work on cracking the access himself . Just then , they detect the " Enterprise " arriving . Soong hails Archer and forces him to turn around and , despite Archer believing Soong isn ' t a killer , when he threatens to kill Lucas Archer turns the ship around . Act Three . Lokesh realizes there ' s another layer of encryption on the quantum level , so he needs more time . Malik , however , obtains proof that Lucas was lying about being able to access the embryo chamber , so Soong orders him out of the locked up room . Soong realizes that Lucas will not give up the code that unlocks the embryo chamber , even at the expense of his people or his own life . Malik takes Soong aside and suggests shoving the station ' s deputy director into a tube and has him exposed to Symbalene blood burn to give Lucas an incentive . Soong initially says it isn ' t necessary , but Malik convinces him . The deputy director dies a horrible death , while Lucas and his colleagues stand by , helplessly watching . The " Enterprise " , however , is able to transport a team to the station before backing off and moving out of transporter range , by matching the frequency of the transporter to the station ' s containment field . Archer leads a team of Reed , MACOs , Phlox and Udar . They take out one of them , but it takes a few hits with a phase - pistol to stun him , bringing the question of what it takes to kill them . Phlox then directs the team to a point where life support can be accessed and starts working on controlling it . Soong was almost desperate at Lucas for his continued lack of cooperation , clearly uncomfortable with the use of torture to achieve his goals . He pleads with him , and , when Lucas tells him to go to hell , he sees there ' s no point and decides to release the anti - pathogen . Malik , however , openly defies him and refuses , continuing to raise tension between himself and Soong . Soong pushes him away and releases it himself , but it ' s too late . During this , Lokesh detected the anomaly caused by Archer ' s team and one of them goes to check it out . Udar says he actually has good hearing and hears them coming , but actually the MACO look - outs were already captured . By this time , the " Enterprise " has figured out the team has been captured and they re - approach the station and hail it . Soong answers , and Archer quickly yells for T ' Pol to execute her orders . She cuts the communication and has Sato activate the station ' s auto - destruct sequence . Act Four . Sato finds that her transmission was sent back to her amplified enough to overload the comm . T ' Pol turns to the weapons to destroy the station , but , on approach , the Klingon ship comes from behind and attacks . It fires on them and moves away , trying to draw them away from the station . T ' Pol tries to push on . Realizing the friendship between Dr . Phlox and Lucas , Malik decides to take things into his hands as he openly defies his father and proceeds to expose the Denobulan doctor to a pathogen . Understanding now that the Augments are not bluffing , Lucas reveals the code and the Augments are finally able to steal the embryos and get away . Soong wants Udar to come with them , but he prefers to stay . Soong wishes him well and leaves to get the embryos . After he ' s gone , Malik decides to take some of the pathogens for himself as " insurance . " As Saul puts Archer into the locked room with his team and the station staff , Archer knocks him down with the door . Malik is right there to fight him , and now has a " reason " to kill him . He fights him hand - to - hand for awhile , but then decides he doesn ' t have time and instead shows sadistic tendencies ( and little regard for his father ' s wishes ) . He sets the containment breach that will release all the pathogens stored on the station – killing everyone there . He doesn ' t want Udar to die that way , so he kills him instead . The " Enterprise " sees the shuttle leave toward the Klingon Bird - of - Prey , but it is too slow to disable the " Barzai " . It is able to dock with the Bird - of - Prey extremely quickly and it immediately jumps to warp . After Lucas tells Archer how he can stop the breach , he then runs to the primary junction at Cold Station 12 where it can be averted but he has less than four minutes left . . .
