A neutronic wavefront forces the crew to hide in one of the warp nacelles--but they're not the only ones on ''Enterprise''.
to:
T'Pol notes that a Vulcan starship encountered a similar storm a century or so ago and was nearly destroyed, and ''Enterprise'' has only four hours to go until the
Rellus and the other aliens board the ''Enterprise'' and Archer talks to them in sickbay, revealing that they're from a system called Takret. Rellus reveals that he and the others are stellar cartographers, so Archer offers to have him help chart the stars, which he agrees to.
Everybody starts moving things into the catwalk (with Phlox talking T'Pol into making room for his pets) but when Rellus and his coworkers are alone, one of them, Guri, admits to not knowing squat about stellar cartography. Archer packs up and notices the storm outside, finding it beautiful. T'Pol gives him some status updates and he expresses fear at the idea of shutting down the power grid, but she points out that a neutronic surge could overload the grid and damage critical systems. Archer then goes to the bridge, transfers the main controls to the temporary command post at the nacelles, orders Malcolm to shut off the main power, and goes into the catwalk with everybody. After an encouraging speech, everyone settles in.
Archer checks up on everyone -- he helps a woman with her crossword, talks to Hoshi about her claustrophobia, and then meets up with Trip and the visitors. Trip reveals that the visitors complained about the crew being too noisy. Malcolm then goes to Phlox for anti-nausea meds.
Travis tells Archer about the approaching plasma eddies, which aren't much of a problem, and then Archer and T'Pol try to watch water polo and do work respectively, but decide to just hit the hay when they bother each other. Before going to sleep, Archer tells T'Pol that this situation has a bright side-- it's an opportunity to get to know everybody. Trip, Malcolm, Hoshi, and Travis play cards, but begin arguing over various things like showers and movie night. Travis smells burning, which is revealed to be the alien visitors cooking. It turns out human food is bad for them, so Trip promises to have Chef cook their food.
Archer then brings Tucker to the temporary bridge, informing him of a problem-- the anitmatter injectors have come online. Trip complains about Rellus and his coworkers, but Archer points out that they were the ones who warned them of the storm. Trip then reveals that to fix the problem, he must go to engineering, so he goes there in an EV suit.
In engineering, strange sounds can be heard and people are walking around. Trip goes to T'Pol's quarters, where he notices that a ship is docked with ''Enterprise''. Using the camera, he looks onto the bridge, where he finds aliens the same species as Rellus making a mess.
The aliens' leader reads through the crew profiles, when his lieutenant, Paltani, tells him that there's no sign of "the fugitives" and the crew are nowhere to be seen. The leader, believing that Archer is hiding in a system, asks the status of the warp engines. Paltani says that there is difficulty with the dilithium matrix, then leaves to keep working on the ship's systems, while his captain starts listening to Archer's logs.
Phlox examines Rellus and his crew and determines they're immune to the storm. Archer asks who the intruders are, and Rellus tries to lie that there's no connection between them, but Guri admits that the intruders are military personnel, who have been pursuing them for weeks. Archer asks why Rellus and his crew are being pursued, and Rallus explains that they used to be in the military, only
In engineering, Paltani tells his captain that the dilithium matrix is active and the warp reactor is ready to initialise. The captain orders him to bring the warp engines online, but Paltani can't work the helm controls because the navigation relays aren't responding.
In the catwalk, T'Pol notes that the ''Enterprise'' crew outnumbers the militia, but only has three jumpsuits. Malcolm suggests sending a security team to retrieve more, but Trip points out that there are several Takret in the launch bay. Then, the warp engines come online, putting the crew in danger of heating up.
Archer, T'Pol, and Malcolm prepare to go down to the bridge. Meanwhile, on
Archer tells Travis to steer the ship towards a plasma eddy, then is attacked in the galley by Takret. While they fight, T'Pol and Malcolm have trouble disarming the nacelles and the temperature rises. The Takret captain realises that the ship is headed for the plasma eddy and demands helm control. Paltani doesn't believe they can regain control on time and suggests they leave, but the captain still thinks Archer is bluffing. T'Pol manages to shut down the warp reactor, then turbulence strikes, forcing the Takret to leave. Archer thus tells Travis to change course away from the eddy.
Later, back in the catwalk, the crew is watching a western, when Archer informs everybody that they are now out of the storm. Everybody goes back to work and Rellus apologises and heads for another star system.

* TwoDSpace: The storm is said to be several lightyears wide, but a look out the window when it's only ten minutes from hitting the ship reveals it's only about as high as the diamater of a reasonable-sized gas giant. It would take all of thirty seconds to manouevre above it and watch it pass by harmlessly.
Added DiffLines:
* SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale / TravellingAtTheSpeedOfPlot: The storm is said to be several lightyears wide, and will hit in four hours. In light of Enterprise's performance demonstrated in previous episodes (such as getting from Earth to Qo'nos in four days, or making a 3LY detour inside of a day), it should be easy to simply go around it.
