It has been from my experience with humans that you must not make it appear that they are less advanced technologically and as a society as a whole. My short experience working with Ambassador Soval has proven to be an instrumental beginning to properly understand how to work and react to human behavior. During this short period I was being introduced to the many levels of Starfleet; many of who had and perhaps still have rebellious emotions against Vulcans. I have noticed that many of the officers that were responsible for the completion of the NX project held great animosity towards Vulcan scientists whom were ultimately supervising the completion of the vessels. My first true experience with any human whom was truly open with his hostilities towards Vulcans was Captain Jonathan Archer. The incident with the dying Klingon.
Our first encounter was anything but jovial. He proceeded to explain to me that Vulcans had delayed the research and progress of the Warp 5 project started by his own father Henry Archer. Never the less at the insistence of the Vulcan High Command I was placed on Enterprise for the purpose to monitor the progress of the crew. To represent the Vulcans in Earth's first attempt with "Human Exploration" outside their own Solar System. I was greeted with much hostility from the majority of the crew including both Captain Archer and Commander Tucker. It was from those two gentlemen that most of the hostilities lay. A constant barrage of emotion that both men felt I deserved to experience. The Vulcans seemed to always be close by as if they were monitoring the ship from a distance as well.
I had always held the Vulcan High Command with great honour and respect. However during the visit the temples of P'Jem and other incidents; it became quite clear that the Vulcan High Command wasn't as honourable as I was led to believe. This also added to Captain Archer's growing mistrust in the Vulcans. It was difficult to withstand the constant insults and reminders of what the Vulcans had done to help Earth. Even so Captain Archer had found a way to construe our actions as actions to withhold the entire society from it's true potential. Slowly I had had proven myself to him and the crew and I slowly became accepted by the crew of Enterprise. I now realize that the Vulcan High Command has many faces and does not follow the doctrine it set forth.
From the beginning to the present my role as First officer had been pushed to the limits by Captain Archer's innocence of space travel. He has grown much from he previous experiences and has made an excellent Captain. When Enterprise was first sent Captain Archer was determined to prove the Vulcans wrong that Humans have a place in space exploration. The motive being set as such he was rash and left many things unprepared as he explored new worlds. Following only the rules set forth by Starfleet, the Captain has managed to interfere with many pre-warp societies. Captain Archer has grown from these experiences and is much more self aware of the implications that come with first contact with a new species. He does not rush into situations and then regretting the results. He is more prepared and listened rather then be heard when it comes to the suggestions of his fellow officers.
Our time in the Expanse has placed a great deal of stress of stress upon the Captain to search and destroy a Xindi weapon; a weapon capable to destroy and entire planet. We have been in the Expanse for eight weeks and slowly draw closer to the Xindi. The Captain is no longer the same person he was before entering the Expanse. He has become rash and does not follow through with a complete thought at times. He is pressured to stop the extinction of his species. Humans only have two years experience of space travel; the undertaking of such a responsibility is quite massive. The outcome is yet to be seen from this Expanse however it has left its mark on ever member of this crew.
