Plot
A small band of genetically enhanced superhumans ("Augments") escape from their home planet, the first time any of these entities have been encountered since the Eugenics War. They take control of a Klingon "Bird-of-Prey" war-ship and jettison the crew into space. The Klingon Empire threatens to retaliate with everything they've got.
In the meantime, Starfleet's flagship vessel, Enterprise, has completed repairs for damages suffered during the war with the Xindi. The Enterprise is ready to take on its new mission—find the "Augments" and bring them back to avert a war with the Klingon Empire.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“The westward march has stopped, upon the final plains of the Pacific; and now the plot thickens ... with the change, the pause, the settlement, our people draw into closer groups, stand face to face, to know each other and be known.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“James’s great gift, of course, was his ability to tell a plot in shimmering detail with such delicacy of treatment and such fine aloofness—that is, reluctance to engage in any direct grappling with what, in the play or story, had actually “taken place”Mthat his listeners often did not, in the end, know what had, to put it in another way, “gone on.””
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
