CHAPTER 10

A STEAMY MAZE ... vertical, diagonal, horizontal tubes, bridges ...

Archer fought to stay conscious. One of the Suliban must’ve landed a blow on his head or neck. He strained to see Hoshi. She was behind him, but no longer safe there.

They had succeeded in making their presence known, whether that would turn out to be good or bad. Rather than finding someone, they had succeeded in being found. He took that as progress.

They were being pushed right along at a daunting pace for his aching thigh. He forced his leg to keep moving. Couldn’t let it freeze up on him. Might have to run.

One of the two Suliban who pushed them along had his plasma pistol. He caught glimpses of it, just enough to tempt him every few seconds. He wanted the weapon back, and pummeled himself mentally for losing it to them. He had handed his enemy an advantage. Rule number one broken.

Sweat drained down his face. The surroundings were getting hotter and steamier, though the Suliban didn’t seem affected at all—

What was that? An energy field?

Archer blinked as a fizzing light half blinded him. He fought to adjust.

T’Pol! And Trip—in a box of some kind, with a force field locking them in. Like Hoshi, alive. Now that he knew for sure they were being stalked, Archer got a burst of relief at seeing them. Where were Reed and Mayweather?

He winced as the Suliban operatives yanked him to a stop. Hoshi bumped his right arm. One of the Suliban worked a handheld device that caused the energy field to snap down. Then that same Suliban reached for Hoshi.

Archer tried to get between them, but there was no fighting the strength of the individual who had him by both arms behind his back. This one had figured out that Archer’s leg was hurt and he could be held off balance.

As the Suliban with the device pulled Hoshi inside the chamber and left her with T’Pol and Tucker, Archer noticed that these two weren’t dressed the same as the two who had infiltrated the Enterprise. Of course, that didn’t mean they weren’t the same two. He couldn’t tell from their mottled faces, or make out any individuality at all.

Archer waited to be put inside. Instead, the Suliban stepped out and raised the electrical shield again. From inside, Tucker stepped forward toward Archer, but there was no hope to break through the force field. T’Pol gave him no such concern. Instead, she seemed to be saying with her eyes I told you so.

Angry and aching, Archer let himself be led away without further struggle. He sensed a chance for answers now, if not the ones he wanted.

What would be done with his crew? Would they be interrogated? Pressured?

The Suliban pulled him down a conduit to some steps, then down the steps. He had to duck twice, bumped his head once on something he never saw, and was drawn through three locked doors and a small hatch. Thoroughly disoriented by the time
