Talk:Na'kuhl

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

Do we know that the Na'kuhl assassinated Lenin? It was said in the episode that they arrived only recently on Earth. -- EtaPiscium 11:40, 17 Oct 2004 (CEST)

Lenin was assassinated in 1916, before the Na'kuhl arrived so the suggestion is that it wasn't them. Malcolm says that the witnesses reported that the assassin seemed to disappear afterwards. It can't have been Silik or another Suliban as they have no means to travel back in time on their own. Alex Peckover 12:27, Oct 17, 2004 (CEST)

The implication in the episode was that the Na'kuhl assassinated Lenin, however. The reason I say this is the whole "chicken and the egg" discussion that goes on.

Vosk and his men became trapped in an alternate version of WWII when they traveled into the past. They enlisted the aid of the Nazis to build a temporal conduit. Now the way things unfolded before Daniels interfered, the Na'kuhl returned to their time with the knowledge of what would irreparably alter Earth's history (and likely give their people a major boost in the Temporal Cold War). They returned to the past and assassinated Lenin, thereby allowing the timeline they were previously trapped in to take place, a timeline where the Nazis quite likely came to control the planet.

However, once Daniels brought Enterprise to the past, Archer was successful in destroying the temporal conduit. This prevented the Na'kuhl from ever traveling back to assassinate Lenin, and thus restored the timeline to its original status.

If it were not the Na'kuhl who assassinated Lenin, then the destruction of the temporal conduit would not have been enough to restore the timeline. Daniels still would have had to stop the assassin, because that is where the true damage was done. The Fallen 00:18, August 27, 2005
