In 2152 the damaged Enterprise docked at an automated alien repair station that fixed the ship but secretly kidnapped Travis Mayweather to use his mind in its computer.
After the Romulan minefield left Enterprise badly damaged, the crew sought help at a station that repaired ships for a price. The work was remarkably fast and complete, but the station staged Mayweather's death to hide the fact that it had taken him.
Archer and Trip Tucker discovered that the station was connected to the brains of many captured beings from different species. They rescued Mayweather and damaged the station as Enterprise escaped, leaving behind a mystery about who had built it.
