Facing the facts.
I do not own any of the characters ect.
Sumary:Trip needs someone to talk to, but Arcger doesn't even seem to understand what he's going through.
Chapter one.
I can't believe you expect us to get along with him!"
"Trip! We need his help. I'm not too happy trusting him either but you should know that he can influence the council's decision."
"How can you trust him!
"He's all we have right now, and we don't have much time!
"Well my gut tells me he's gonna make things worse!"
"He's helped us so far!"
"Oh, and that makes up for all those people he killed then is it?"
"Trip!"
"Seven million Cap'n, seven million dead! Did he do anything to stop that? No!"
"Commander."
"What makes you think he wants to stop this one?"
"Commander you are dismissed!"
"Fine, just don't expect me to do much work with him!"
Trip stormed down the corridor, he didn't even notice when he bumped into a rather confused T'pol.
"Trip?"
He carried on walking.
"Trip!"
"Oh, sorry." He finally acknowledged her existence.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
She raised her eyebrows. She knew him too well to be fooled.
"Cap'n wants me to work with Degra."
She looked at him, trying to wander what to make of this human.
"His intentions appear to be good."
Trip just looked at her. "Not you too?" He turned to leave, unable to argue it all again. But T'pol wasn't going to let it go that easily. "Trip."
He stopped. "7ooo ooo." He thought he should remind her. Everyone had been so caught up with this council meeting that they had forgotten what had happened on Earth, to his sister.
"I know the facts, but this alliance could be our only way, you trust Captain Archer?"
"Off cause I do but……"
He didn't have to finish his sentence. T'pol knew, as much as Trip wanted to avoid the matter, the death of his sister had affected him greatly.
Trip sighed, maybe he had been a little hard on Jon, but then Jon didn't exactly go easy himself. Didn't he even understand why Trip didn't want to work with this Xindi?
"Goodnight T'pol."
T'pol watch him walk away. Why does he refuse to talk to anyone about the matter? Maybe she needed a word with the Captain. He and Trip were supposed to be best friends anyway, and if there's anyone who could get through to Trip, it should be him.
