37 hours later.........
T'pol sat in the command chair as the Enterprise approached her mysterious destination.
The crew was still in the dark as to the nature of their mission as well as their destination.
However, answers would soon be forthcomming as Ensign Mayweather spoke.
"Sub Commander, we are approaching the coordinates." said the Ensign
T'Pol tapped the comm button on the command chair. "Bridge to Captain Archer."
"Archer here." the voice replied
"Captain, we are approaching the coordinates you supplied." reported the Vulcan
"On my way." said the Captain
T'pol stood up and walked to the science station. Running a scan, she was surprised to find one
class M planet on long range sensors. Scans showed it to be a medium size planetoid with
a desert climate throughout the entire surface. Scans showed no life signs present and no
ships either on the planet, in orbit or on route. The train of events were becomming more
mystifying and even she was begining to entertain possibilities as to what was in the Priority
One message that had sent them into unexplored space at a dangerously sustained warp five.
The turbo lift doors opened and Captain Archer entered the bridge. "Report"
"I've run a scan." said T'Pol "Sensors show a planetoid at the center of the coordinates.
It is a..."
"Any ships either in orbit or in the vicinity?." asked Archer cutting her off
"No sir." the Vulcan replied
"Life signs?" he asked
"None." she replied once more
Archer turned to the helm. "Travis, slow to impulse and take us into
a standard orbit when we arrive."
"Aye, sir." replied the helmsman "ETA is 3 minutes."
Archer walked to the front of the bridge. All eyes were on him awaiting answers.
He looked around, but remained silent as Mayweather brought the ship
into orbit over the unknown and seemingly barren world.
"Captain, we are entering standard orbit sir." Mayweather informed him
"Good" replied Archer. "Open ship's intercom Hoshi."
"Aye sir." replied the comm officer as she moved her hand over her
console.
"Attention all hands." said Archer " You are all undoubtedly curious about the Priority One
message Enterprise received some 37 hours ago and the reason we have traveled at a
dangerously sustained warp 5 to reach an unexplored sector of space. I can now tell
you both the nature of the transmission and our reason for being here."
Archer looked around the bridge for a moment. "As of 37 hours ago I have been relieved of
command of the Enterprise."
Arcer's looked at his bridge crew, pausing for a moment to allow the information to sink in
"I have been instructed by Starfleet Command to have Enterprise rendezvous at these coordinates."
"Rendezvous with who?' said Trip still in shock over his friend's revelation.
"We will rendezvous with Enterprise's new captain at which time I will leave the ship and Enterprise
will break orbit to continue it's mission." answered Archer " Enterprise's crew will be briefed by
senior staff about the change in command. That's all for now." Archer nodded to Ensign Sato to close
the channel.
"Senior staff, assemble for a meeting in 10 minutes." said Archer "Mr. Reed, have a security
team report to the shuttle bay deck and have a shuttle pod ready for travel to the planet's surface
following that meeting."
"Aye Captain." replied the armory officer.
"I'll see you all in ten minutes." said Archer as he headed for the ready room.
