![]() Comments by production staff (and the casting of Spiner) indicate that Arik Soong was intended to be the great-grandfather of Noonian Soong, Data's creator (also played by Spiner). ( ENT: " Affliction")Ī "wound" is applied to Brent Spiner's forehead, in his role as Arik SoongĪrik Soong was played by Brent Spiner, best known for playing Data on Star Trek: The Next Generation. A plan to kidnap Soong was abandoned when the Klingons discovered that he was too heavily guarded. In late 2154, the Klingons encountered a crisis when they attempted to create Klingon Augments by using Augment DNA left over from an Augment attack on, and destruction of, the stolen Klingon Bird-of-Prey. Soong was returned to prison to serve out his sentence, and gave up his work with genetics, which Archer told him had actually been stored for posterity, deciding instead to embark on other studies, this time concentrating on artificial life. Archer managed to shoot Malik through the torso with a particle rifle. Afterward, Malik destroyed the Bird-of-Prey, but not before covertly beaming aboard Enterprise and attempting to kill Soong. Not wishing to see his children commit mass murder, he assisted Captain Archer in stopping the Augments. With the help of Persis, another one of the Augments, Soong left the ship in an escape pod and was retrieved by Enterprise. Malik removed Soong from command and had him confined to quarters. Conversely, Malik was upset to discover that Soong had decided to manipulate the DNA of the embryos to make them less violent. Soong found out that the Augments intended to fire torpedoes loaded with pathogens stolen from Cold Station 12 at a Klingon colony, which they hoped would start a war between the Klingons and Humans. ( ENT: " Cold Station 12") Soong's relationship with Malik became increasingly hostile, and Malik began to question Soong's leadership. When Malik killed one of the station's personnel to get the codes to open the embryo chamber, Soong was shocked. He gave orders to the Augments that the capture of the station and freeing of the embryos was to be done without any killing.Īlthough Soong was considered a father to the Augments, he and Malik, the leader of the Augments, did not see eye-to-eye concerning the use of force. ( ENT: " Borderland") Soong led the Augments to Cold Station 12, which held about 1,800 Augment embryos left over from the Eugenics Wars. ![]() Soong escaped Archer's custody and began his work with the Augments once again. When the Augments came to talk to Enterprise, the Augment Malik took Archer hostage as the rest of the Augments broke into Enterprise's brig and released Soong. During the chaos that followed the freeing of the crewmembers, Soong attempted to escape by deactivating a subdermal transponder he had implanted in himself, but he was eventually recaptured by Archer. He helped Archer in freeing the prisoners by deactivating their neurolytic restraints. DATA CREATOR STAR TREK CODESoong was able to lead the starship to Verex III, where he used an old authorization code so Archer could enter the auction area. The crewmembers were taken to Verex III, to an Orion processing station where they were auctioned off as slaves. When Enterprise was attacked by Orion Interceptors, the Orions abducted nine of Enterprise's crewmembers, including Commander T'Pol. Apparently, he would make such astounding discoveries in genetic engineering only to have the papers destroyed by the guards. Soong explained he was not allowed standard record-keeping equipment, due to the previous incident with the PADD. Among the reams of stacked paper on the floor and those pages pinned to the walls of his prison, all regarding DNA sequences, he highlighted research on modification of the T-cell that would cure Sharat Syndrome as well as work toward a five percent increase to the Human visual spectrum. ![]() When Archer arrived at his detainment cell, Soong demonstrated his genius. Soong was "recruited" by Captain Jonathan Archer of Enterprise NX-01 to help capture his children, who had hijacked a Klingon Bird-of-Prey and killed its crew. Soong in his cell, wearing magnetized restraints Once he programmed a PADD to open every security door in the prison and made it as far as Sausalito. Soong was captured ten years later in 2144, and imprisoned in San Francisco, where, on occasion, he attempted to escape. ![]() ![]() He later made some improvements on the embryos, and subsequently traded for goods and supplies with the Orion Syndicate so he could provide for his "children," whom he raised on Trialas IV. While there, he stole a group of Augment embryos. Soong was the senior medical director at Cold Station 12 in the 2130s. Soong and his Augments on Trialas IV some months before he was captured in 2144 Soong's mother was a chemist by occupation. Soong was a descendant of Adam Soong, a 21st century geneticist and engineer who had funded Project Khan. ![]()
