A/N: trip's mad after T'pol's put in command
Enterprise
Chain of Command
Damn, I can't believe this, trip tucker swore long and hard. He was mad no not mad, mad was ruining a good steak or the warp core going offline this was more than mad. This was fury, he was supposed to be archer's right hand man, but now that Vulcan, T'pol came along and he was nothing again. He remembered it all to well in the decontamination room "ya know I thought you were here to be observin not takin command of enterprise". She instantly responded with that snooty tone of hers, "you may be commander on this ship but my Vulcan rank supersedes your Starfleet one." Then they had talked to admiral forest, "Im sorry commander the sub-commander has the ship until Jonathan is better and in case of this happening again she is to be the first officer." Trip's blood had boiled at that instant, "Admiral Sir, please you know what john wanted he said to you and me that if anything ever went down he wanted me to take care of things those were his wishes those were his orders damn it! Now why is the Vulcan takin over the ship she's just the observer not commander!" The admiral suddenly became very interested in the floor, "I'm sorry commander I spoke with the Vulcan's and they –" trip cut of the admiral, "ta hell with the damn Vulcan's. Vulcan's holding us back, Vulcan's stopin us when we should have been goin, Vulcan's it command. When's it gona end sir". The admiral looked even more down at his shoes then looked up, "I'm sorry there's nothing to be done." With that the admiral cut the channel. So now here he was in his quarters not able to do a darn thing about it. Trip sighed and left his quarters and went to engineering he worked for a while on the engines but his heart wasn't in it he was supposed to be in command now not that Vulcan, but he wasn't so he tried focusing on his task when he heard the slight shutter and the pulse of the warp engine quicken which told him that they had just gone to warp. Well that's it our little mission is a failure our ship is a failure and the Vulcan's will see it as another sign that we aren't ready to go out in to space damn them. He almost cried when he thought about how sad how… the word came albeit hard to his mind, broken his friend would be he dropped his tools and just left wanting to numb his mind with sleep but when he looked out the port he saw the stars wising by but they were going the wrong way! No that couldn't be he was on the starboard side of the ship and yet there it was he checked with a computer in engineering and, sure enough their course was for a planet in the opposite direction! "That little Vulcan but I wonder why"?
Could it be that she was feeling sorry for him for humanity for the chance she was about to shoot down like so much cannon fodder. Maybe but maybe he had just been wrong about her he would have to wait and see.
