"Dead Stop" is the thirtieth episode (production #204) of the science fiction television series Star Trek: Enterprise, the fourth of the second season. It was directed by Star Trek: Voyager cast member Roxann Dawson. After the Enterprise was damaged in the previous episode, "Minefield", the crew finds itself in need of assistance to effect repairs. They send a distress call, and the Tellarites send the coordinates of a station—a station capable of serving their every need at a cost which seems too good to be true. The episode won an award from the Visual Effects Society, and was also nominated for an Emmy award. Plot Four days after getting caught in a Minefield, Captain Archer and Commander Tucker inspect the damage to the ship. As the damage would take months to repair, and returning to Jupiter Station would take years, Archer decides that it is time for someone to help them out for once, and orders Ensign Sato to send a general distress call. A Tellarite freighter responds, and sends a barely understandable message including co-ordinates directing them to an automated repair facility, three days away at Warp 2. Arriving at the facility, the ship is scanned and the station reconfigures itself to suit the crew's needs. Enterprise docks, and the station sets the full repair price at 200 liters of warp plasma. Using its advanced replication technology, the station can complete all repairs in just 34.2 hours. Archer, left without any other option, agrees, although he has a gut feeling that not everything is as it appears. Intrigued by the station's technology, Tucker convinces Reed to visit the station's computer, but their attempt to do so via a ventilation duct is detected, and they are beamed back to the Enterprises bridge. Captain Archer is not amused, and orders them confined to quarters for the remainder of their stay at the spacedock. Meanwhile, a false comm message, ostensibly from Archer, directs Ensign Mayweather to an area currently being repaired. His body is found soon after, an apparent victim of an electrical shock. When Doctor Phlox discovers that the dead Mayweather is a well-replicated duplicate, Archer resolves to search the station for him. Tucker 'distracts' the computer, and Reed again trips the alarm, giving Sub-Commander T'Pol and Archer time to enter a computer room filled with bodies — among which are a Klingon, a Vulcan, and a Cardassian — apparently the
