YMMV / Star Trek Enterprise S 03 E 01 The Xindi

• Complete Monster: The unnamed mine foreman is a brutal slave driver who exploits the need for trellium-D in the Delphic Expanse to line his own pockets. Forcing his workers to operate in hazardous conditions, the foreman has no regard for their safety, often having them beaten or mutilated if they step out of line. When the Enterprise crew arrives looking for one of the foreman's workers, a Xindi named Kessick, the foreman has the man's finger cut off to provide proof that he's Xindi. Using this as bait, the foreman summons warships to capture Enterprise, planning to enslave the crew to work in the mines. When Archer, Tucker, and Kessick attempt to escape through a plasma duct, the foreman tries to kill them by drowning them in super-heated plasma. When they escape this trap and are recaptured, the foreman decides to simply execute them, with Kessick being mortally wounded in the resulting firefight.
