"Traveling Blues"

T'Pol was startled by the sight of crewmembers staggering aboard after a diplomatic mission to a friendly planet. Taken aback, she couldn't frame a question.

Jon held up his hand. "Don't ask."

"Captain--"

Trip stopped trying to scrape gunk off his boots long enough to scowl at her. "They lost our luggage. The building had no air conditioning. We all got food poisoning. Our vehicle got stuck in a swamp and we had to walk out. Can I go take a shower now?"

Jon waved.

Trip stomped away, his voice drifting back. "I'm never leaving the damn ship again."
