Destination
The Captain had decided to let the Suliban off the hook, leaving them with a threat. Frankly, the Suliban were second his list after finding T'Pol and bringing the Vulcan traitors to justice.
Unfortunately, the Suliban hadn't been told whereabouts they were going and there were no traceable trails left from their ship for Enterprise's scanners to find. This left them floating in space until some good news popped up.
"Capt'n!" Trip huffed as he barged into the Captain's Ready Room. He looked like he had just run 1000 miles.
"Come on in, Trip." The Captain laughed, offering him a seat. Obviously, the Captain and Trip had a lot to work on in their friendship, but things can't be rushed.
Catching his breath, he said, "I know this sounds a little crazy, but I know where T'Pol is heading."
"How?" Captain Archer looked puzzled.
"It's not important right now. Have you ever heard of a planet named Munnfa?" Trip asked.
"No." The Captain answered blankly. He failed to see where this was going.
"Me either," Trip walked over to the computer and opened a few Vulcan files. The Captain went over to look at what the computer was displaying.
"Trip, what am I looking at?" Captain Archer asked, a little fed up at his friend's mind games.
"These are plans for Vulcan colonies on other planets. A few years ago, the Vulcan High Council decided that colonies would be a good idea to expand the reach of encountering new species. After construction on a far away planet – unpronounceable, don't try it – other species began to wonder if the Vulcans were planning to build more of these and try to conquer new regions of space." Trip explained. "Of course, when the Vulcan's heard of the other aliens worries, they shut down the colony to avoid war."
"Still, what does this have to do with T'Pol?" the Captain sipped his coffee.
"Until a few months ago, a colony on a planet named Munnfa had been totally abandoned, but now other species near the area say they've strange scanner readings from Munnfa. Also, apparently there's been a little civil war going on at Vulcan." Trip finished.
"And you know T'Pol's heading there how?" Captain Archer asked.
"If I told you you'd think I was crazy, just trust me, she's going there." Trip breathed. The Captain walked out of the room and onto the bridge. "Travis, set a course for Munnfa, the computer should be able to locate it. Warp 9." The Captain ordered.
Without a second thought, Travis obeyed his Captain. "Aye sir."
And as Enterprise flew through the stars, faster than the speed of light, Trip felt a new surge of determination in finding T'Pol.
