Sphere Builder Presage
Sphere Builder presage
The Sphere Builder presage was consulted by the other Sphere Builders on multiple occasions to examine alternate timelines and to gain insight on how the future would be affected by events occurring in the present. She advised the other Sphere Builders that, due to the actions of the crew of the Starship Enterprise, the possibility of their success was quickly diminishing, leading them to take a more direct hand in attempting to destroy Enterprise. (ENT: "The Council", "Countdown", "Zero Hour")
Sphere Builder Primary

The Sphere Builder primary coordinated the effort to assist the Xindi-Reptilians in deploying the Xindi superweapon against Earth so her species could invade the galaxy unopposed in the future.

This Builder was sent as an experiment to determine if the reconfigured space was able to sustain them.
Enterprise retrieved his transport pod from inside a spatial anomaly. After being taken to sickbay, the alien claimed that he was a prisoner who was forced to volunteer for the experiment. Captain Archer refused to let him return to his ship, and when Phlox was distracted in sickbay, the alien attacked him and escaped by moving through the ship. After he was recaptured by Lieutenant Reed and Major Hayes, the alien warned Archer that when the Xindi destroyed Earth, his people would take over our universe, before disintegrating due to his incompatibility with normal space.
