PART 13:



T'Pol walked into engineering. She spotted Trip sitting at his desk and walked over to him.

As she stood next to him, he seemed not to notice her. She arched her eyebrow as she looked at him. She looked to see what he was staring at but there was nothing there. She cleared her throat to get his attention.

Trip looked up at her. "T'Pol what brings you here?" he asked.

"I brought you those sensor scans you requested," she said.

Trip didn't remember asking her for the sensor scans. He wasn't about to let her know that though. He knew she'd go running to Archer and that's the last thing he needed.

"Just put them here," he said pointing to a spot on his desk. "I'll get to them later."

T'Pol set the tricorder on the desk.

"Is everything all right, Commander?" she asked.

Trip rolled his eyes; he was getting tired of that question. "Everything is fine," he said.

T'Pol continued to stand there looking at Trip. He didn't look well; in fact he hadn't been looking well for the past couple of days. She wondered if Archer knew what was going on.

"Is there anything else you need Sub-Commander?" he asked.

"No," she said.

Trip got up but a wave a dizziness hit him and he sat right back down.

"Commander?" T'Pol said arching her eyebrow once more. She noticed he was now sweating.

"I'm fine," he snapped, and got up despite the feeling of dizziness he had. He held onto the desk to steady himself.

"If there's nothing else Sub-Commander," he said the irritation evident in his voice. "I have work to do."

T'Pol didn't say a word; she just turned around and walked out of engineering.

Trip sat back down. He knew that he should go apologize to T'Pol. He just didn't have the energy and it scared him. He had no idea what was going on with him and he was afraid to find out.
