DISCLAIMER: Enterprise and all it's characters belong to Paramount and not me. I'm only doing this for fun, I'm not making any profit from this story.
Any spelling and grammar mistakes in this part, the pervious two parts and any parts to come are all my fault. I didn't have a beta reader.

Archer walked into the mess hall. Reed was true to his word and an hour after he was told, he had everyone assembled and waiting for him.
"I won't take up too much of your time. I know most of you are on duty and need to get back to work," he began. "We all know what has happened to Commander Tucker. I just got finished talking with Doctor Phlox and he informed me that there is nothing more that can be done for him and he'll be taking Commander Tucker off of life support."
"When will he be doing this?" Reed asked.
"I asked him to wait until the end of the week," Archer said. "I know some of you are friends with Commander Tucker and this will give you all the opportunity to say goodbye if you choose to."
Archer looked around at everyone, some had tears in their eyes and some just looked stunned. "That's all I have to say, you can all return to your stations."
People started leaving the mess hall. Archer made his way over to Hoshi, Mayweather and Reed.
"Hoshi I need you to establish contact with Commander Tucker's parents," he said.
"Yes sir," she said. "Is there anything else I can do?"
"No that will be all," Archer said and turned to Mayweather. "Travis, I want you to change course."
"To where sir?" he asked.
"Home," Archer answered. "We're going to take Commander Tucker back to where he belongs."
"Yes sir."
Archer turned and walked out of the mess hall. Reed, Hoshi and Mayweather just stood there.
"He's taking this news better than I thought he would," Hoshi said.
"Don't let him fool you," Reed said.
"Sir?" Mayweather questioned.
"This is tearing him up inside."
