Oasis ( episode ) The crew finds a derelict spaceship from which they can salvage some supplies . . . only they find that the ship is not quite as deserted as they were led to believe . Summary . Teaser . Captain Archer is talking with an alien trader named D ' Marr about the possibility of buying spare engineering parts and materials over a meal . Saying he specializes in exotic goods , however , D ' Marr still helps by giving them coordinates where could find all that she needs . Oddly hesitating , he explains there is a ship that crashed on a nearby planet . The only problem is that it is supposedly haunted . Act One . " Enterprise " enters orbit of said planet , where the crew finds the ship as predicted and , further , no power signatures or life sign s . Unfortunately , the only way to get more information is to send an away team . There ' s some hesitation , but Archer states they ' ll leave if there ' s any opposition . Archer , Travis Mayweather T ' Pol and arrive on the planet . The possible haunting causes Mayweather to wonder why the hatch was closed , if D ' Marr was in a hurry . T ' Pol also thinks she hears something , but it could probably just be rodents . Tucker confirms the presence of dilithium , but , just then , T ' Pol thinks she sees someone through a reflection . Then , Tucker also sees a shadow move . Blasting through a hatch , the two find an area apparently hidden by a dampening field with lush vegetation . Exploring further , they find the " ghost s " – or rather a real live crew and colony . Joined by Archer and Mayweather , these colonists , Kantare s , explain they were on their way home when they were attacked by unknown alien s and forced to crash land on that planet . They had been surviving since but were not able to get the ship flying again . They also say that no distress call s were sent to avoid giving away their position ( the dampening field serving the same purpose ) . This happened about three years prior . Archer offers help , and Tucker thinks he can repair the ship . There ' s skepticism , but the colonists thank Archer . Tucker begins to work on repairing the ship systems and fraternizes with Liana , the daughter of the ship ' s chief engineer , Ezral . She ' s shy , but interested in hanging around him . Soon , her mother arrives and insists Liana leave for other duties . Act Two . T ' Pol joins Tucker in his repairs , and , during , warns and reminds him of his fraternization with aliens , in particular , his experience with the Xyrillian . Soon , Liana comes back with food for Tucker and he graciously eats it . They talk for awhile but are interrupted by Kuulan with another problem : their computer core . Tucker agrees to have a look , but he ' ll have to get some gear from " Enterprise " . After T ' Pol and him set off , Liana pleads with her father to visit " Enterprise " . Ezral thinks she ' s seen enough Humans , but eventually relents . Meanwhile , on the " Enterprise " , things do not go so smoothly . Malcolm Reed and Mayweather relate to the captain a number of inconsistencies in the story they have been told : the ship ' s oasis is not big enough to sustain the whole colony , and they don ' t seem to have suffered any attack . Archer can somewhat explain away some of what they ' re saying , but he notes they have one of their data modules , so he has them take a look at it . Tucker shows Liana around the engineering room and tells her about the crew . She ' s fascinated and they get along well together . She avoids questions about Kantare , saying it ' s " boring " and , instead , asks about the planets he has visited . Archer calls Tucker to his ready room , so he has someone else finish her tour . In the ready room , Archer and Reed , who has had time to examine the data module , explain the real reason they crashed . It was some malfunction which de - pressurized the ship . Further , the ship has been down on the planet for some twenty - two years previously instead of three years . They also left escape pod s , one of which is still in orbit . They leave to examine it , seeing that the body in it is actually that of Shilat , who appears to be alive and living on the planet . Act Three . On the planet , T ' Pol , working on the computer , apparently also discovers something . Before she can report her discovery , however , she is captured by the colonists while investigating in a different corner of the ship . Meanwhile , Tucker , now having to have a serious talk with Liana , finds her in the mess hall . Confronting her with the evidence , she initially feigns ignorance , but soon can ' t keep that up . However , she doesn ' t provide any more information and demands to be taken back to the planet . Archer and Reed return to the planet with Liana to get some explanations , but the colonists begin to be aggressive , forcing Tucker to perform repairs and the rest of the team to go back to " Enterprise " . Archer does so , and starts to assemble a rescue team . Liana objects to the situation , and goes to talk to Tucker while he ' s working and explains what ' s happening . Liana shares the secret of the colony with Tucker ; everyone in the colony except Liana and her father are hologram s . Soon , things get ugly as the rescue team arrives . Reed is shot from behind , and , when a phase - pistol beam passes right through a colonist , the significance of the ghost story D ' Marr told earlier becomes apparent . In the computer room , Tucker pleads with Liana to stop them , and so she reluctantly starts pulling out circuits . The attackers disappear , except for Ezral . Act Four . With no more lies needing to be told , Ezral then explains the real circumstances of the crash . They were caught in a plasma storm , and the ship being too severely damaged , they had to crash land on the nearby planet . The only problem was that Ezral left his station during the landing to prevent his daughter ' s death , causing the death of the rest of the crew by his negligence . After he realized they were stranded on a deserted planet , he re - created all the crew as holograms so that Liana would not have to grow up completely isolated . Tucker agrees to assist in repairing the holographic system , but still says that Liana deserves more than to live her life alone with her father on that forgotten planet . Ezral says that he is happy there , but , he is finally convinced by Archer that what is best for him may not be the best for his daughter . In the end , Ezral decides to accept Archer ' s help , getting the required components from " Enterprise " to fix his ship . Later , the crew is back and Tucker brings some supplies and kiss es Liana good - bye . Extended scenes . For this episode , there are two extended scenes that can be found on the ENT Season 1 DVD . A note preceding each scene states , " " The color portion of the following was lifted from the show – the black & white portion was retained in the final version . " " Oasis deleted scene 8 . As in the aired version of the episode , Tucker and T ' Pol explore the crashed ship , using flashlights to see in the darkness of the alien environment . When T ' Pol becomes certain that she has just heard something , Tucker suspects she is imagining things due to her fear of the situation but the Vulcan insists that nothing frightens her . In the extended version of the scene , T ' Pol continues the discussion by claiming that " fear is a primitive emotion " . Certain that something must evoke that particular response in her , Tucker wonders whether T ' Pol is scared by heights or spider s , to which she finally reveals that , when previously recalled from " Enterprise " by the High Command , she discovered the crew was preparing a " going - away " party and found the idea " somewhat frightening " . Oasis deleted scene 21 . The aired section of this scene includes Tucker and T ' Pol finding the " crew " of the crashed ship , several of whom are armed with hand weapons aimed at the " Enterprise " officers . The extended portion then progresses with T ' Pol asking the people she sees before her whether the ship is theirs , to which they do not respond . She consequently takes out her communicator , provoking a curious look from Ezral , and activates the device , asking the alien group whether they can understand her . When they still do not react , Tucker nevertheless announces his suspicions that the group is surprised to see the visitors and probably think they are scavengers . After Tucker admits that their suspicions are correct but that he and T ' Pol thought the ship had been abandoned except for ghosts , the armed members of the group lower their weapons .
