Principal photography was scheduled for seven days, as normal, but there was an elaborate sequence that was pushed off into B-unit production on Thursday (Jan. 6), overlapping with the beginning of the next episode. That sequence involves Columbia's efforts to help Enterprise resolve its sabotage crisis. The NX-01 cannot drop out of warp, so in an unprecedented maneuver, an attempt is made to transfer a crew member from Columbia to Enterprise along a cable strung between the launch bays of each ship ... at Warp 5. (The transporter can't operate at warp, and docking is impossible.) A great deal of intricate shooting took place on the Launchbay set ? dressed first as Enterprise and then as Columbia ? including some upside-down camera angles. A cable rigging was devised by the special effects department that included a "teeter-totter" attachment for the personnel transfer. Greenscreens were used in various places where digital images will be inserted later, such as the underbelly of the other ship seen from inside the launchbay. Connor Trinneer and Dominic Keating took part in the sequence wearing EV suits, along with stuntman Shawn Crowder.
