Reed, Tucker and Solo

Chapter two

(By: Celeia)



The shuttle pods where ready and all was set to go, but the feeling of anticipation still hung in the air.

"Tucker to bridge, We're ready if you are." Trip said, not feeling quite as confident as his steady voice suggested.

"OK Trip, Good Luck… this shouldn't take too long." Captain Archer said assuredly.

The docking bay doors opened slowly, and the twin shuttle pods prepared to take off simultaneously.

"Well T'pol, this is it! I just hope that Malcolm can keep his head on and not get trigger happy… He seemed awful excited about getting' his hands on those weapons." Tucker said as he punched in the proper coordinates.

"Getting such… pleasure out of carrying fire arms seems illogical." Said T'pol as she fastened her safety harness.

"Well, I guess you still have allot to learn about us humans!" Tucker commented as they took off.

As they neared the ship, they got a close look at the exterior. The Hull of the ship looked rusted and old, and the numbers on the side where no longer visible...

"Well, they looked like humans, but I have never seen any Star Fleet ship that looked like that…" Trip said to himself under his breath.

Suddenly, a voice broke over the intercom… a transmission from the other twin pod.

"Reed here. Trip, have you ever seen anything so extrordinary? Look at the

very complex design… it just astonishes me."

Trip could not disagree, it looked like a ship with no outer layer, as though all parts of the ship where exposed.

As they got even closer, they noticed a blue haze that surrounded the ship.

"That must be why I couldn't scan the interior of that thing." Malcolm said.

The shuttle pods attached to the ship and they prepared to board the vessel.

As they climbed down through the hatch, they knew that this was no every day garden veriety ship. The corridors where lined with metal walls from which wires where exposed, and these aliens where not one specific kind, but several.

They where than approched by whom they expectaed was the captain. He was a large man, with long ears that hung over his shoulders. His skin color had a strange tinge of green to it. His hair and beard where astonishingly blue.

"Hello! And welcome to my ship! I hope that you can help us, we have had this problem for weeks, and maybe you can do something about it. Oh! I am sorry! Where are my manners! I am Captain Sheriger, and this is my Lieutenant Geruguard.

The man that they had seen over the visual frequency back on Enterprise shook hands with each member of the crew. He stopped to look at T'pol.

"You… You must be Vulcan... am I correct?" he asked in a very puzzling way.

"Yes, I am Vulcan." T'pol answered this strange man whom seemed so interested in her origin.

"Well," The captain said, "I think that we should get you people a meal and a place to sleep, and then we can get to work in the morning."

None of them particularly liked the idea of staying the night on a ship with a rampaging criminal on board, but it was their assignment, and they followed their host to the dining hall.
