 The Augments have escaped in a bird of prey with their  father  Dr. Arik Soong. To find out where they went, Enterprise goes to the location Soong told the Augments were raised. Someone has been left behind. The augments are on their way to Cold Station 12, where the last Augment embryos are kept. They brought incubators to grow them up. Tensions are building however between Augments leader Malik and Soong. He constantly questions the doctor s leadership and disagrees with about every decision made by him. He thinks it is nonsense that Soong orders that no human life should be taken on the station.
