__NOTOC__ "Fight or Flight" is the third episode (production #103) of the television series ''Star Trek: Enterprise''. "Fight or Flight" was written by Brannon Braga and Rick Berman. Allan Kroeker served as director for the episode; he had previously directed "Endgame," the finale of ''Star Trek: Voyager''. The Human starship ''Enterprise'' encounters an alien ship that is their first chance of first contact, but find hull breaches and no activity.〔 Captain Archer, Ensign Sato, and Lieutenant Reed board the ship to investigate, and on the ship, Sato soon faces her fears. ==Plot== It is May 2151, and the crew of ''Enterprise'' is settling in, and are slowly getting acquainted with one another. The crew are restless as they have not encountered anything new in the past two weeks: Captain Archer is trying to locate a squeak in his ready room and anxious that they have not discovered any worthwhile planets yet; Sub-Commander T'Pol points out that Vulcans don't select their destination by what piques their interest as they don't share humanity's enthusiasm for exploration; Lieutenant Reed and Ensign Mayweather are running weapons simulations which are slightly off; and in Sickbay, Ensign Sato cares for a slug brought back from an away mission. When T'Pol picks up a drifting Axanar vessel on sensors, ''Enterprise'' drops out of warp to investigate. The ship shows evidence of weapons fire and bio-signs but does not respond to hails. Archer is eager to make first contact with a new race, but T'Pol recommends non-interference. After discovering multiple hull breaches, an away team in EV suits is dispatched. The alien crew are soon found dead, suspended upside-down with tubes attached to their chests. Spooked, the away team retreat and ''Enterprise'' departs. Doctor Phlox and Sato discuss her fears over the incident, and draw parallels between her and the slug being out of their natural environment. Eventually, Archer decides to return to the ship. Phlox discovers the bodies are being harvested for a chemical similar to lymphatic fluid, whilst Commander Tucker restores communications and Sato decodes the Axanar language.〔 When T'Pol warns Archer that a ship is approaching, the crew withdraws to ''Enterprise'', but not before shooting the harvest pump. The alien vessel attacks, but ''Enterprise'' cannot return fire accurately due to problems with the targeting scanners. A second Axanar vessel arrives, and Sato persuades them that the alien ship was responsible. They then attack the hostile ship and ''Enterprise'' is saved. The episode ends with Sato and Phlox releasing the slug on a new planet. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fight or Flight (Star Trek: Enterprise)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
