Oasis

The show begins with the Captain negotiating with an alien trader. But the guy doesn't have anything they need--and they need supplies to help them run the ship. He tells them about a planet nearby where he saw a downed ship...but tells them that there are rumors that it is haunted.

When the landing party arrives at the downed ship, it does seem like maybe it IS haunted but naturally T'Pol thinks this is illogical. However, there soon is an answer--there are living beings there but they are hiding. They tell the crew of the Enterprise that they've been there for three years and they cannot make their engines work. Trip insists that he can help them but oddly they seem not particularly excited about this. Another strange problem develops, as tests indicate that the ship crashed far longer ago--perhaps 20 years or more. What gives?

This is a decent but mostly unremarkable episode. It's not bad--but not all that memorable either...sort of like eating white bread or plain rice.
