Lorian, after considering his knowledge of events, believes that the wormhole must be avoided altogether. Archer and Lorian then disagree over whether to implement an engine modification to "Enterprise", since there is a 22% chance that it might destroy the ship. Archer then meets old T'Pol on board old "Enterprise", and considers a plan where his ship could pass through safely, due to alternative modifications she suggests. A frustrated Lorian then reveals a secret plan: to steal the newer plasma injectors from "Enterprise" so they can confront the Xindi in place of their ancestors.
