A/N Thank you so much guys, the reviews are wonderful. Special thanks to
Punk Rock Barbie, Lisa, and Moonbeam your reviews help so much. I will try
and update as often as I can. I am also thinking of posting a sequel to
this story called "Love Lost" if everyone continues to like this story.
Chapter 6- "Formalities and a Friendly Talk."
As the shuttle touched down on Amara, Archer relaxed somewhat. Thanks to Daniel's warning T'Pol was safe on Enterprise and they could get the information they needed to find the Xindi.
"Everyone get ready Malcolm, Major Hayes weapons on standby and holstered." Ordered Archer.
"Sir, Do you believe that it is really necessary---" Began Major Hayes
"Yes, I do " replied Archer stiffly
"May I remind you Major Hayes, of the specific protocols when visiting and unknown environment?" Lt. Reed remarked almost smugly.
"No, I do not need to be reminded!" Snapped Hayes defensively
As the two men glared at each other Archer rolled his eyes, will they ever grow up? He thought with a smile. Honestly these two were going to come to blows eventually if he didn't step in. To them he said
"If you two gentlemen are finished hosing down the shuttle with testosterone can we go meet Memnet?"
"Of course sir," they replied looking sheepish.
As the four humans disembarked the shuttle, the smiling Memnet greeted them once again.
"Ah Captain, welcome to Amara." He made a grand sweeping gesture "The Planet of Paradise"
Looking around Archer had to agree Amara reminded him of Hawaii, and one of the most beautiful places he had ever seen.
"Captain this is Gantra, my chief of Staff, he will show your men around. He has some knowledge of both weaponry and strategy, perhaps your men can 'pick his brain'" Inquired Memnet
As Reed and Hayes moved off in pursuit of Gantra Archer, turned towards Hoshi,
"Ensign, did you bring those scans with you?"
"Yes sir, and they are translated. I took the liberty of translating them into Amaran so that they can help us piece together what we found."
"Good."
"Enterprise to Away team" Came T'Pol's voice
"Go ahead T'Pol"
"Captain we have just received a very jumbled message written in a language I cannot identify, we require Ensign Sato."
"Understood, She is on her way."
Captain Archer turned towards Memnet, I should probably head back to my ship, and see what this is about."
"Of Course Captain, your welcome to visit Amara anytime, stay in orbit and see what the city has to offer, why our city Captain it's visionary."
Archer's smile froze, visionary! His vision about T'Pol, something wasn't right. Guardedly he replied:
"Thanks maybe we will."
"Archer to Reed."
"Go ahead Captain,"
"We are needed back on Enterprise, Prepare to leave the surface."
"Aye Sir."
MEANWHILE ON ENTERPRISE
Trip stepped off the turbolift onto the bridge and was not too surprised at the site. With T'Pol in charge everyone was working quietly. Moving towards the woman who was occupying the Captain's chair he asked:
"Word is that we got a mystery on our hands."
"Commander?"
"The message T'Pol, what is it"
"We do not know at this point, perhaps you would be best in Engineering attending to your duties."
"A little snippy arrest we?"
"We all must make sacrifices, and go where were told." T'Pol replied almost crankily.
Trip stared at her aghast.
"Your mad a him!"
"Vulcan's do not get mad, Mr. Tucker and whom am I 'mad' at?"
"The Cap`n, and don't gimmie that Vulcan's don't get made garbage----"
"Mr. Tucker please join me in the Captain's ready room."
As Trip followed the clearly perturbed woman into Archer's ready room, he cringed oh did he ever cross the line this time.
"Mr. Tucker, I ask that on the bridge you keep your comments to yourself, and as far as Captain Archer goes I respect his decision."
"T'Pol I've know Jon, for a long time, if he said you couldn't go there must be a good reason."
"He told you?"
"He said he felt bad, but he couldn't risk loosing you whatever that meant."
"Curious, he told me that Daniel's presented him with a disturbing vision. However, The Vulcan Directorate believes that time travel is impossible."
"Yeah right T'Pol. You and I both know the truth."
She simply looked at him, which caused him to move.
"Seriously T'Pol, If he said there was a reason they you better stay here."
Again with that look that woman was going to drive him crazy! He sighed
"T'Pol I like to think of you as a friend of mine, and I don't want to lose you. I would hate to think what it would do to Jon, heavens everyone on this ship sees the two of you. You're his lifeline remember that."
With that said he left the room heading back towards Engineering. T'Pol watched his retreating figure, she was stunned at his admission. What did he mean the two of them, more importantly was she that Transparent?
