Date not given: Archer receives the message that an old friend, Captain A. G. Robinson, has died. While they are on a shuttle to explore a supposed dark matter nebula, Archer tells T'Pol about their time in the NX development project. Robinson made the first Warp 2 flight, but barely survived the following explosion of the NX-Alpha prototype. The project was about to be postponed. Archer and Robinson, with the help of Tucker, then took NX-Beta to an unauthorized flight, reaching Warp 2.5, upon which the project was continued. Archer and T'Pol can confirm the existence of dark matter in the nebula, by firing charges from the shuttle that light up the matter.
