Enterprise: Breaking the Ice

The Enterprise finds itself following a comet- as yet uncharted, and the largest comet found to date. Not surprisingly, there is a Vulcan ship in the vicinity, fueling Archer's belief that they are being spied upon. Reed and Mayweather are sent to drill to the comet's cure to take samples of a rare element, whose name my brain has replaced with "Atmospherium". Archer warns that the must be off the surface before the side if the comet the shuttlepod is on faces the nearby star. Naturally, this means they aren't, and when the grappler fails to rescue the pod Archer must turn to the taciturn Vulcan captain Vanik to tractor them out.
