Summary
貓走道
當亞契準備帶領調查隊，探查一無人居住的行星時，企業號突然被呼叫，三個異星人來尋求庇護。異星人警告亞契，有一波致死的中子風暴快要到達。和船員們討論後，亞契推斷，每個人都要找個安全的地方躲起來，以避開致死的中子風暴輻射。崔普建議，能符合八天防輻射的地方是狹窄的貓走道。貓走道是連接各艙房的維修通道，很狹窄。只有一個問題，曲速線圈運轉的話，貓走道的溫度會高達三百度，所以崔普要關閉主反應器，而且在貓走道設一個臨時艦橋。
全部船員和三個訪客都撤離到貓走道。時間過得很慢，船員們彼此之間的緊張升高。風暴包圍著企業號，船身時常搖晃。這些異星訪客也不討人喜歡，他們甚至在等離子歧管附近煮食物，那很危險。更糟糕的是，崔普和亞契發現工程部有麻煩。物質和反物質注射器啟動了，那會危害到貓走道裡的船員們。崔普無法從貓走道關閉注射器，他只好穿著電子防護裝走到工程部。這套裝備只能保護他二十二分鐘，所以他必須工作得快一點。
崔普到達工程部，他發現奇怪的事。一群異星侵入者，像是在干擾船上的系統。崔普躲起來，查看這些異星人到企業號上做什麼。往窗外看去，他發現一艘異星艦停在企業號旁。他打開監視器看艦橋，好奇怪，那些異星人和三個異星訪客是同一種族！崔普回到貓走道，報告他的發現。伏拉士掃描那些訪客，發現他們根本就對那些輻射免疫。亞契生氣的要他們解釋。他們向亞契解釋說，他們是塔克力特國民兵的軍官，他們發現指揮官貪污時，逃跑了。三人為他們的說謊向亞契道歉，告訴他，那些異星人有抓補像企業號這樣的船艦，並殺害船員的歷史。
李德報告說，那些入侵者正要啟動曲速反應器，那危害到船員們。亞契知道必須盡快行動。他擬定了一個計劃。亞契、特珀和李德穿上防護裝到船上的主要區域。特珀和李德去關閉曲速反應器，亞契去分開異星領導人的注意力，說他是企業號上唯一的生還者。他要求他們離開，否則他會毀掉這艘船。他下令梅偉瑟改變航道，航向一個有毀滅性的電漿漩渦。特珀和李德最後關閉了反應器。異星領袖知道亞契是認真的，船正往電漿漩渦前進。他們一行人逃離，梅偉瑟及時駛離漩渦。
不久之後，梅偉瑟把企業號駛離風暴，船員們可以回到艙房了。這些外星訪客為他們造成的麻煩道歉，接著他們要前往哥瓦嫩星系。困境解除，亞契鬆了一口氣，他祝他們好運，並道再會。

An away team is preparing for a survey on an uninhabited planet when they are contacted by three Takret who inform Jonathan Archer that a neutronic storm is coming right in their direction. They also ask to come aboard Enterprise to take cover from the storm.
Archer asks his senior staff for ideas to protect them from the storm. Even if the storm won't do much harm to the ship, the crew won't survive the exposure to the radiolytic isotopes. While sickbay should be secure enough, it won't hold 83 people. Trip suggests that they evacuate into the catwalk.
Evacuation begins, and by the time Enterprise hits the storm, all the crew is in the catwalk and an emergency bridge has been set up. The crew adapts to its new environment, and, little by little, they get used to the confined space. Archer suggests that T'Pol take the opportunity to get closer with the crew, and develop her social skills. The only people that keep their distance are the three alien passengers.
Just as everything seems to be going well, the warp coils begin to come back online. This is not good since the crew is inside the warp nacelles. Trip goes to take them offline, but on his way, he finds the ship crawling with Takret soldiers that are trying to take over the ship.
Back in the catwalk, Trip informs the crew. The three 'guests' are interrogated. They are revealed to be deserters from the Takret military. They fled when they realized the officers were corrupt, pirating alien vessels, and committing illegal acts.
Since the Takret are immune to the radiation, it seems unlikely that the crew will be able to retake Enterprise by force (the crew only have three EV suits between them). Archer decides to play a deception game. While T'Pol and Malcolm prevent the warp core from coming online, the captain hails the Takret commander. He says that all of his crew are dead and he is going to destroy Enterprise to prevent it falling into the wrong hands. He then orders Travis to head for a plasma eddy on a separate channel.
Since they won't be able to reroute the controls back to the bridge in time, the Takret decide to leave the Enterprise. The rest of the trip passes without incident, with T'Pol deciding to attend a movie night.
Background Information

- It's possible Nike still exists in the 22nd century, as the bag Captain Archer packs in his ready room has a very prominent Nike swoosh on it.
- T'Pol mentions to Captain Archer that she participated in the kahs-wan ritual in which she was taken to the desert and left to survive for 10 days.
Memorable Quotes
