Teaser
The ship was about to be decommissioned and Charles Tucker the third a.k.a Trip was working over time to get his engines in top shape. He practically built the engines he wanted to take care of them for as long as possible.
T'Pol handed him one of his tools, he looked up to give her a grin she wasn't the same person that he had met 10 years ago.
"So what are you going to do after the charter is signed?"
The federation was soon to be created, delegates from multiple planets were meeting on earth to sign it. The charter said that no one attacks anyone, no declaration of wars without a proper reason, watch each others backs when needed and things like that.
"I am unsure at the moment I have been offered the position of Captain on the Excalibur but I have also been offered a position on the warp 8 project choosing between the two is quite difficult. "
Trip smiled, maybe they won't have to go their separate ways.
"I was offered the position as head of the warp 8 project. I accepted of course but didn't know they asked you to join also"
One of T'Pol's eyebrow shot up.
"Well isn't this a coincidence."
She was about to say something more but she got interrupted by the voice of Captain Archer.
"All hands to battle stations."
T'Pol gave Trip a final look and headed to the bridge
The bridge
Archer held on to his chair as another blast rocked the ship.
T'Pol took a quick look at the readings.
"Sir an Andorian ship is approaching."
Hoshi pressed a button.
"They are hailing us sir."
Archer nodded this day couldn't get any worse.
"On screen."
"Hello Pink skin." Shran was on the other side looking smug.
"Seems you will soon owe me another favor."
Archer groaned yep this day could get worse.
"Captain the ships are retreating." T'Pol informed them as Shran's ship attacked the other one.
Shran's antennas moved.
"About that favor…"
Archer frowned they only had a few days left 'til they had to be on earth.
"This isn't a good time Shran." Archer got up.
"Pink skin you owe me! My daughter is being held hostage my transporter is out all I need you to do is get her out of there."
Trip and Archer walked towards the Transporter room.
"I had no idea Shran had a daughter." Archer shook his head.
"Neither did I never pictured him as a family man you?"
Trip also shook his head this was so unbelievable just as unbelievable as when T'Pol had agreed to marry him.
Once in the room Trip proceeded to write in the coordinates.
Shran's daughter appeared on the platform but she wasn't alone there were two other men there Trip didn't even think he grabbed the young girl and through her at Archer while he tried to take out the men alone.
One of them took out a phaser and shot him right in the chest Archer and the little girl both watched in horror as all three of them disappeared in a transporter beam.
T'Pol's voice cut through.
"Captain a ship just decloaked they are leaving at warp should we pursue course."
Archer shook his head there was nothing they could do Trip was dead.
"No."
