February 13th, 2154: Hoshi is supposed to crack the missing launch code of the weapon, for which purpose Dolim infects her with a neural parasite. While Trip and T'Pol are still analyzing the data gathered on the spheres, Archer meets with the Xindi-Aquatics and promises them he knows a way to disable the spheres, whereupon they agree to intercept the weapon. After her resistance has been broken, Hoshi decrypts the third launch code. A fleet of Aquatics, Primates, Arboreals and Enterprise enters a subspace vortex and runs another attack on the weapon. Hayes and his team free Hoshi, but he himself doesn't survive. The Sphere Builders interfere and create an anomaly that allows the Reptilians and Insectoids to escape with the weapon. But the Insectoid leader has become suspicious because the emerging anomaly was evidence for Archer's assertion - that the Guardians are actually the Sphere Builders. Dolim has the Insectoid ship destroyed. In the meantime, a team with Archer and Reed leaves Enterprise and switches to Degra's ship on a suicide mission to board and destroy the weapon.
