January 22nd, 2155: Paxton targets Starfleet Command with the verteron array on Mars, which was initially built to deflect asteroids. In order to knock out the weapon without harming T'Pol, Tucker, the child and the neighboring Utopia Colony, it is necessary to get inside Paxton's ship. Archer, Phlox, Reed and Mayweather follow the path of a comet to the surface of Mars so they remain unnoticed. They manage to overwhelm Paxton just in time. Back on Enterprise, it turns out that Gannett Brooks was not actually a Terra Prime agent, but a young ensign working in shuttle maintenance is found guilty of sabotage in Paxton's name. He commits suicide before Archer's eyes. Phlox discovers that the child who Tucker and T'Pol have named Elizabeth is going to die because Paxton purposely created her with a genetic defect. The doctor says that generally Vulcan and human DNA are compatible.
