Holodeck | OTA
"Oh my God."
If Archer had his way, he'd be at the bar right now. But Q, being the massive dick he is, thinks Archer drinks too much (as if!) and has prohibited him from consuming alcohol aboard the Enterprise, pending a series of field agent evaluations.
Which basically means no booze for Archer. Until and unless he plays around in the holodeck for a bit. And Archer needs his booze.
(Seriously, if he goes cold-turkey, the accumulated hangovers will probably kill him.)
The first simulation is set atop Mount Yamatau, the highest mountain in the Southern Urals. Today, it also happens to be the coldest, at 20 degrees below zero.
(If you think of it as basically being the part of the dream in Inception with all the snow - you won't be too far off the mark.)
Specifically, Archer's mission is to infiltrate the Soviet nuclear facility at the base of the mountain, find evidence that they've weaponized a biochemical compound called - oh, to hell with it, he wasn't paying attention during the briefing anyway. There are Russians, he has a gun. He can't go wrong by shooting them.
"I feel like my testicles are literally shrinking back up into my body," he says, brushing snow off his suppressed Steyr AUG and camouflaged snow clothes. "Seriously, I bet if I took my gloves off my hands would be popsicles in thirty seconds."
He stops, looking around. Hopefully the swearing has attracted someone he can sucker into sharing the misery with.

Kitt listened to the disembodied voice, wondering for the umpteenth time just what he had walked in on. His curiosity got the better of him again, he knew.
"That sounds easy enough, right?" He flashed Archer a grin, hoping for some reassurance himself.
Sorry this took so long! Computer was in the shop and tagging from the phone is a massive pain.
"Kilo, the comms relay is east. Bearing zero-eight-zero. Be advised there are mounted patrols on the road ahead."
Unless Kitt can see through the blizzard starting to form, he won't see more than the gently sloping ridge a few feet in front of him in the general direction of "east". There aren't yet signs of those patrols Bigeye has spotted.
