Cold Front

Enterprise lost its first "crewman" in this amazing. However, this personal Jeeves, Archer's butler, turned out to be a time traveler from 700 years or so in the future and he was fighting some kind of temporal cold war with the Suliban. So we will count this as our first crew casualty with an asterisk. Luckily, the Suliban only stuns Archer, but he kills "Daniel". We really don't know for sure who the bad guy was, but we assume it was the Suliban. Daniel had some nice technology he brought back with him to the 22nd century, but unfortunately Archer lost it all when he dropped it out of a space dock. All of this drama takes place when Enterprise visits a star nursery to the "Plume of Agosoria". However, there was already a group of hippie pilgrims camping out in an old freighter commanded by a really surly captain named Fraddock.
A few interesting notes here: 1. Archer's dog is named Porthos...which is one of my favorite characters in the Three Museketeers series of books by Dumas 2. At the conclusion of the episode they seal off Daniel's quarters with a special lock basically creating their own Area 51 right on board Enterprise. 3. I assume we will have more trouble with this time traveling cold war protocol treaty business. I am sure subcommander Bennett is keeping tabs on this!
