He accomplished Earth’s first light speed propulsion demonstration in 2061, but his work was not finished. Cochrane intended to make money and move to a tropical island when he constructed the Phoenix, the planet’s first warp ship. But he designed it with a weapon of mass destruction in mind. A Borg sphere targeted Cochrane during a test flight of the Phoenix scheduled for April 2063. Cochrane was sought after by the Enterprise-E crew, but he gave up on the Phoenix’s continued existence. Cochrane refused to accept his destiny as a herald of a better world and made an attempt to escape, only to be shot down by a group of policemen who were pursuing him.

In the third season, District Attorney Mario Siletti reels from a catastrophe that puts his career in jeopardy while English and Mulligan balance their individual personal troubles with the murder investigation of a football player.
