The starship orbiting around the fifth planet looked like a
derelict. The hull was pitted and scarred by laser fire and
antimatter torpedoes; no lights were shining from the command

spinning slowly in a way that few manned spacecraft ever did.
Captain Archer just had to hope that the ruse would work. He knew
that the X'xin would be back -- they needed the precious minerals in
this system even more after the firefight that left his ship in
this condition -- and he knew, too, that his ship couldn't withstand
another assault. If he could just get the X'xin to lower shields for
a moment or two to scan the wreckage, or attempt to board...
"Captain," the Ensign on duty whispered hoarsely, as if she were
afraid her voice would carry through space. "I'm picking up an
incoming vessel on visual."
Archer sighed. "I'd ask for a detailed scan, but with main power
