 Enterprise answers the distress call of a Triannon ship. After taking them on board, D Jamat, their leader, tells they are religious people visiting a sphere. They believe the Expanse, the Chosen Realm, and the Spheres were created by the Makers a 1000 years ago and that the anomalies are their breath. It soon becomes clear that these people don t have the best intentions. They take control of Enterprise and want to use it in the war against heretics. D Jamat also orders the death of one crew member because Enterprise desecrated several spheres. Archer must choose.
