Chapter Seven Memories Of The Vulcan Heart
Captain Archer while inside his quarters. He was having a field day with signing reports from all of the departments on the ship. He doesn't ever remember having to sign this many reports at a single seating. Including when he was commanding the Enterprise two years prior.
Hopefully soon this will slow down in order to have others in the chain of command will be able to help him out. It's gotten a little too much for him. Since he has enough to worry about for the moment.
Especially since the Columbia was heading to Vulcan at warp five for the moment. He has asked everyone working on the bridge to be on their toes for anything that just might stop them from reaching Vulcan.
However for now...The Columbia was on its own in this sector or space. Otherwise Captain Archer had asked Hoshi to stay alert, on whether Star Fleet Command or any other Federation vessel will be able them to stop what they are doing.
So far they have been rather lucky with sub-space chatter having been practically non existence. Captain Archer and the rest of the crew were holding their breaths that they will be able to arrive to Vulcan without any trouble at all.
Captain Archer was getting some what stiff with having to be sitting with signing all of those reports. He needed to take a break from it. So he decided that maybe a quick swim in the gym's pool just might help his tense muscles.
Meanwhile just prior to leaving for the gym. He needed to advise the bridge first off letting Malcolm know where he's going to be during the next hour or so.
"Yes Sir...If anything comes up. I will be sure to call you right away. But for now it's been rather quiet Captain. The scanners haven't pick up a thing during our route, not even a non federation vessel."
"Now how come I don't find that rather usual?" He asked with peeking at his best pal looking to leave the quarters for a swim in the pool.
"Don't know sir. But at least it's quiet for my taste, I rather have it that way never the less." He says while being handed a report from the ship's engineers for which he signs quickly and barely able to glance at it with signing.
"I agree. Any rate call me if and when something does come up that acquires my attention."
"Right away Captain. By the way enjoy your swim." He replied before switching off the intercom on the side of the Command chair.
But in the meantime. Captain Archer tells his beagle Porthos to lets get going before getting bother by something else. Porthos starts to wag his tail telling him that he was ready to leave any time.
Archer walks out of his quarters slowly, while letting his best friend walk behind him to head for the nearest turbo lift to take them to the gym level of 12.
