Vulcan and Human Keepsake

Chapter 12th

T'Pol had arrived back to the bridge to finish out her duties at the science station. Commander Tucker had come up from engineering with the impulse engines purring like a kitten to his ears and eyes. He was advising Captain Archer they will be able to use the warp drive within an hour.

"It's going to be just fine Commander Tucker, afterwards navigation will need to search for the wormhole leading us into the sector for where the Guardian of Forever is located." Archer said with moving his position in his chair trying to get more comfortable. He needed his friend and engineer to try and take a look at the diagrams of his chair...

"Well in that case, I will have my replacement take over, while I enjoy the food on this vessel." He stated with a slight smirk turning to face T'Pol working on a scanner checking with the computer. Afterwards she turned to see Trip giving her a look and a nod.

"Captain Archer, I have checked with the computer in regard to the wormhole destination 123 356, we will arrive at the entrance in 21. 1 hours." T'Pol announced in her Vulcan mode as the Vulcan science officer.

"Excellent T'Pol, I look forward to entering the wormhole. Since we are on our way everyone. I will be in my quarters. Commander Tucker and T'Pol, please join me in the Captain's mess hall in one hour? I will have the chef make something special for myself and the both of you." He gets up from his command chair facing his engineer at his station.

"I will surely be there Captain, as with T'Pol. Unless T'Pol, do you have something else important to work on?" He asked with his wife saying the following.

"Not at the moment Commander Tucker." She stated with Captain Archer trying to hold back a chuckle with her response.

Five years in the past with the Zoolanders.

The two of them were staying hidden on the Enterprise away from everyone. They were using their equipment checking for any Xandi crewmembers or vessels that might be abroad the vessel. Commander Tucker was working up on the platform with the warp engine talking to one of his engineers trying to fix the proper mixture for the fuel mixture.

"It seems to be correct Commander Tucker, however my tricorder keeps picking up two entities somewhere located in engineering." Lt. Wells stated with Tucker having to be shaking his head.

"Lt. Wells, It just doesn't make any sense to what your saying about the two entities. Nothing is showing up on the scanner. Otherwise I want you to keep checking for it and make a quick report to the Captain. I need to head up to the bridge and check with the computer." He said with moving away with taking the steps down and the turbo elevator to the bridge, while leaving Lt. Wells alone currently.

"We need to be rid of the human in order to check engineering for when it needed." Orison says to his associate much smaller in size.

"I agree Orison before more humans come back inside here and stop our work. I can't seem think proper any longer Orison, time is growing short for the both of us." Timmis replied with a slight cough and some copper blood dripping from the side of his mouth.

They began to search with their instruments before using their laser weapon pointing it at the human working. Orison fired quickly hitting the male human throwing the body against the bulkhead killing him. Not bothering to check the body further, they began to continue to look for the evidence.

Captain's Mess room Present Time

Chef had outdone himself once again with the three meals. Captain Archer dressed smartly other than his usual uniform. He was waiting for his friends Trip and T'Pol to arrive in a few moments. As for his wife Suzanne, she was on the bridge monitoring communications.

Sitting down at the table with Porthous laying next to his feet, he had already been fed, along with his pieces of cheddar cheese. There was a buzzer sound to indicate that Commander Tucker and T'Pol had arrived. Moving to the intercom to answer the buzzer. "Come."

Trip and his wife still in the same clothing, even though she had decided to let down her hair having gotten long was now on her shoulders making her look younger.

"I am glad your here. Chef was outdone himself with the meals, please sit. Anyone for a drink of Romulan Ale?" He noticed the strange expressions on their faces, especially with T'Pol.

"Jesus Captain, how in the world did you come by the Romulan Ale?" Commander Tucker seriously asked since he always wanted to try the ale.

"This is a freighter Trip, and I do have connections from over the years." He quipped with his answer making his friend chuckle.

"I will try it sir." Tucker said with sitting down in his chair while T'Pol will decline.

"I will reframed from drinking Romulan Ale, however I will stick with the sparkling water as usual." She stated with sitting with almost tripping over Porthous having moved wanting to be rubbed on his back and head. "I am sorry Porthous maybe later I will play with you." She exclaimed with Porthous slowly moving over to his bed that Archer had brought in to keep an eye out on his favorite pet.

With the door opening Chef brought in the trays of food for which he had his associate help him placed the items onto the table, along with the blue bottle of Romulan ale and glasses for Archer and Tucker.
