PART 1:
Archer, T'Pol, Reed and Trip sat at the table in the ready room. T'Pol put her tricorder down and looked up at Archer.
"Thank you," Archer said. "Sub-Commander, for those detailed evaluations."
Trip leaned over toward Reed. "If I'd known she was going to take this long, I would've made sure I had all mine done yesterday."
"You have something to add to Sub-Commander T'Pol's evaluations?" Archer asked.
"No sir," Trip said sitting up in his chair. "I don't think anything else could be added."
"Do you have your last evaluation, Commander?"
"Yes sir," Trip said picking up his tricorder. "Ensign Jacob Driscoll, always late, lazy, constantly being told what to do and doesn't seem to care about his job."
"That wasn't a very detailed evaluation," T'Pol said.
"Unlike you Sub-Commander," Trip said. "I'll give Captain Archer my detailed report later. I would like to get out of here sometime today."
"You want to transfer him to another part of the ship?" Archer asked.
"No, I want to keep him."
"You just said that he doesn't show up on time for his shift. He has to be told numerous..." T'Pol started.
"Thanks for the re-cap," Trip interrupted her.
"So why do you want to keep him then?" she asked.
"Because when he does do his work," Trip explained. "He does a great job, he's a smart kid and one day he'll make a great Chief Engineer. He just needs a little guidance."
"And you plan on giving him that guidance?" Archer asked.
"I would like to try sir," Trip answered.
"What if he doesn't accept your guidance?" T'Pol asked.
"T'Pol brings up a good point Trip," Archer said. "How are you going to handle this?"
"I plan on talking with him and letting him know what is in this evaluation," Trip began. "I'll tell him this is the only chance he's got to shape up and that if he doesn't he'll find himself pulling kitchen duty."
"Are you sure you want to take on this extra responsibility?"
"I'd say no if I didn't believe in him. But I really do believe that he can make a great engineer."
"Alright then Trip," Archer said. "I'll back you up on this. I'll give you one month to get this ensign into shape."
"One month, sir?"
"One month."
"Aye sir," Trip said getting up from his seat to leave.
"And another thing Trip," Archer said.
Trip looked at Archer.
"Anything happens within the month," he explained. "You're totally responsible."
Trip looked T'Pol then back at Archer. He was determined not to fail.
"Okay," he said. "If anything goes wrong, I'm totally responsible."
He picked up his tricorder and walked out.
