High above Planet Hell, a strange ship enters orbit. Invisible to Ebterprise sensors, it is also hard to detect optically. Barely larger thatn a Navy attack jet of our day, it seems an unusual choice for the largish man piloting.
The strange ship lands undetected near the camp pf Enterprise Officers and crew. An unremarkeable looking man wearing black Levis, a dark grey t-shirt, dirty tan oil cloth duster, and black Nacona boots with ivory spurs emerges from the oddly hued ship.
He stops and sniffs at the air. His spurs slowly spin.
“He is here!” The man exclaims to the air and dashes into the forest.
A demon, wings mauled and torso bloodied emerges from the forest at the point of Loki’s entrance. Terror grimaces the demon’s face as it is slowly torn assunder by invisible forces.
“Loki…” it hisses as it expires. Camera pans down to a puddle of hissing, steaming goo on the forest ground.
Meanwhile, Captain Archer is arguing vehemently with a human (?) looking man on the comm viewscreen, “What do you mean, you never saw Hoshi?!? Our sensors tracked her into your compound!”
STD: “My dear Captain Archer, I assure you that…” STD is distracted by something off screen. We a hear an unearthly wail muffled as though from behind a wall. A look of concern crosses STD’s face and quickly vanishes.
“Please accept my apologies, Captain. We will continue our discussion later.” Says STD as the viewscreen goes black.
“What do you suppose that means?” Asks Trip.
“I’m afraid we’re about to find out,” interjects the Doc, pointing out the enclosures tinted window. A flood of unholy creatures are rushing towards the compound.
