Star Trek: Enterprise - 04x04 Borderland (1)

Summary: When a group of super-humans invade and take control of a Klingon Bird-of-Prey, the Klingons want retaliation. Starfleet orders Captain Archer and his crew to take the Enterprise and retrieve the Klingon ship before any more damage can be done. The crew takes Dr. Arik Soong, a prisoner of Starfleet because he stole the embryos to create these super-humans, aboard, to help find the Bird-of-Prey. But along the way, the crew comes under attack by the Orion, who capture T'Pol and several crew members as slaves. Archer must go to the slave market and rescue his crewmen before it's too late, and Dr. Soong is the only person that can help them get in.

Dr. Arik Soong: I apologise for the clutter. I'm not allowed traditional recording devices.
Capt. Jonathan Archer: You programmed a pad to unlock every security lock in the building.
Dr. Arik Soong: I was particularly proud of that. I made it all the way to Sausalito. On the rare occasion I get stuck on a problem, I find a vigorous escape attempt helps to clear the head.

TRIVIA

The costumes and make-up worn by the Augments intentionally serve as a bridge in similarity to the Eugenics War veterans seen in Star Trek II:The Wrath of Khan.
Dr. Soong, played by Brent Spiner, mentions that genetic manipulation can prevent a disease called Shalaft's syndrome. This was also the disease that Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart (I)) suffered from during childhood, as was revealed in Star Trek: Nemesis (2002).
One of the augments in episode #4.4, "Borderland" is named Persis. This is a tribute to the late Persis Khambatta who played Lt. Ilia in Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979). She died of a heart attack 18 August 1998.
