Shore Leave
Archer strode onto the bridge.
"Report," He said and sat down in his seat.
"It is a Minshara class planet, similar to Earth. The atmosphere is 17 percent oxygen, 81 percent nitrogen. It hosts a diverse ecology of different plants, but I see no signs of humanoid life forms."
Archer looked downtrodden for a moment. It obviously wouldn't be a first contact mission; however, it would make a good place for shore leave.
He perked up a bit and looked over at T'Pol.
"Perhaps this planet would be suitable for shore leave for the crew," she suggested.
"You read my mind," he grinned at her, and she raised her brow at him.
He stood to make his way back to his ready room. T'Pol stood and cleared her throat.
"If I may suggest, we should send a survey team ahead to make sure everything is satisfactory before the crew takes leave," she suggested.
"Alright," he nodded. "Assemble a team and go on down. Let me know how it goes." He entered his ready room.
4 hours later
He looked up as he heard T'Pol's voice float through his ready room.
"T'Pol to Captain Archer."
He pressed the button, "Archer here, go ahead."
"The team and I have assessed the planet. It seems suitable for the crew to take shore leave here. I would suggest perhaps a day or two for each member."
"Sounds wonderful. I'll have Ensign Ray divide up groups. Why don't you and the team come on back up and pack. Archer out," He disconnected the line.
He stood and contacted the Ensign before making his way to his quarters. He had to pack.
After he had packed a small bag containing enough clothes and necessities for two days, he decided to stop by T'Pol's quarters to see if she would like to walk with him to the shuttle. He had arranged it so that they would be taking shore leave together. He hoped this would give them the chance to get closer together, learn more about each other.
He grinned to himself, thinking of all the ways he'd like to learn her and then shook his head, tamping those thoughts down.
"You ready, boy," Archer asked, looking down at his beagle. Porthos barked his response and wagged his tail.
Grinning, he grabbed his bag and made his way out of his quarters and down the hall to T'Pol's, Porthos trotting alongside.
He pressed the chime and waited a moment before her door opened. She raised her eyebrows at him and then asked, "May I help you, Captain?"
"I was just wondering if you wanted to accompany me to the shuttle. We are in the same group so we get to take shore leave together."
"I hadn't planned on taking shore leave," T'Pol replied moving to let Archer in.
"What do you mean? Why aren't you going," Archer asked, setting his bag down and picking up Porthos.
"I was just going to go over some of the scans from the survey this morning. Vulcan's don't need shore leaves, Captain," She reminded him, casting a glance at the small dog in Archer's arms.
"Well, I want you to come on this one. You didn't take the last one, and I think it would be wise if you took this one. Everyone needs a vacation, T'Pol. Who knows, maybe you'll even enjoy yourself," He smiled.
"Captain…," she started.
"I don't want to hear it Sub-Commander. Now go pack a bag, I'll wait here for you," He said.
She stood, looking at him for a moment.
"Please don't make me make that an order," He pleaded.
She nodded and turned bending down and pulling a small bag out from beneath her bed.
He watched as she moved swiftly and surely, placing items in the bag, making sure that everything was in its place.
Finally she closed the bag and zipped it up. Turning towards him, she nodded.
"I'm ready."
"Great! Let's get this show on the road," He said, setting Porthos back down. He opened the door and let her precede him out of the room.
