The next day, Trip and Jorna were invited to lunch with the captain. When they had gotten their food, Archer asked Jorna how the Suliban could possibly know she was there.
"The Suliban in my genes probably tipped them off when they scanned your ship."
"That makes sense. She would be the only Suliban on here," Trip agreed.
"Do you think you're safe now?" Archer asked her.
"I hope I will be. I have some news. I've decided to go to the Academy, become a Starfleet officer, like you," Jorna said, changing the subject.
"That's great!" Trip said with a mouthful.
"I'll send a recommendation for you if you like. It's the least I could do seeing as how you saved all of us," Archer said.
"Thank you. That would be wonderful. I'm hoping someone there can figure out how to get the part of me that is Suliban out so that I won't be a threat on whatever ship I am assigned someday," Jorna said.
"You never know, honey," Trip said as he covered his hand with hers in support.
"Yeah you're right." They finished the meal and Trip and Jorna left.
