A member of Enterprise's crew who is killed by a mysterious energy apparition while the ship supports Emory Erickson's transporter experiment in the starless region called the Barrens.
Crewman Burrows appears in the Enterprise episode Daedalus, set in 2154. Enterprise has taken Emory Erickson, the inventor of the transporter, and his daughter Danica to the Barrens, supposedly to test a long-range sub-quantum transporter.
During the preparations a distorted, flickering shape appears on board. Burrows encounters it in a corridor and dies from the contact, his body left badly disfigured.
His death leads Jonathan Archer and T'Pol to press Erickson for the truth: the apparition is his son Quinn, lost in an early experiment years before, and the mission is an attempt to bring him back. Archer is angry that a crewman died for a secret, but allows the attempt to go ahead.
