Date not given: A damaged pod of unknown origin with a human corpse is found adrift in space. The Suliban demand the pod to be surrendered. Archer refuses. Further evidence points to a launch date of the small vessel 900 years into the future. The Tholians, a race known for its hostility, appear with the same demand as the Suliban. After the Tholians have disabled a Vulcan ship, they engage the Suliban in a battle, which gives the Enterprise crew the time to make preparations to destroy the pod to save the timeline. The Tholians, however, manage to disable the warhead inside the pod. After Trip has activated its emergency beacon, the pod disappears without a trace. Obviously it is being retrieved by whoever sent it to the past.
