__NOTOC__ "The Xindi" is the premiere episode of the third season of ''Star Trek: Enterprise'', the fifty-third episode overall. The episode officially introduced the season's story arc in which the crew of ''Enterprise'' scour the Delphic Expanse to prevent the Xindi from destroying Earth (although some exposition was provided in the second season finale, "The Expanse"). ==Plot== As ''Enterprise'' travels deeper into the Delphic Expanse, a secret council of aliens discuss what to do with the lone human spaceship. Meanwhile, Captain Archer directs ''Enterprise'' to a mining penal colony within the Expanse. He then strikes a deal with the mine's foreman: in exchange for a half-liter of liquid platinum, Archer and Commander Tucker will be allowed to meet a Primate worker named Kessick. Archer requests the coordinates of Xindus, the Xindi homeworld, from him, but he refuses to help unless Archer helps him escape. Archer declines, but he soon learns that the foreman had ulterior motives, since he has ordered three warships to overpower ''Enterprise'' and enslave his crew. Kessick claims to know how to escape the mine, but asserts that he will only tell Archer if he assents to helping him. Archer reluctantly agrees, and Kessick leads him and Tucker through the mine's sewage removal system. However, the group is soon detected in a conduit, and the foreman floods the system with plasma in an effort to kill them. They narrowly escape being killed, but quickly fall into the hands of the mine's security forces. Meanwhile Sub-Commander T'Pol persuades Lieutenant Reed to allow the newly assigned MACOs (Military Assault Command Operations) to attempt an extraction. Led by him, they perform remarkably well in combat, and manage to rescue Archer, Tucker, and Kessick. ''Enterprise'' then leaves orbit just as the warships arrive. Unfortunately, Kessick dies, but not before providing coordinates for the Xindi home-world. When the ship reaches this position, there is nothing but a 100-year-old field of debris. 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「The Xindi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
