Daniels looked at the person who walked through the door, and knew instantly it was time for him to leave. Before he could be seen, he was gone.

"Hello…Lieutenant?"

"Yes…yes sir," Archer said.

"I don't believe we've met."

"No…no I'm pretty sure we have not," Archer said, more nervous than he wanted to admit to himself. "I'm Lieutenant Jackson Coto."

"Nice to meet you, Lieutenant. I'm Captain Kirk…commander of this wonderful vessel," Kirk said as he looked around and spread out his arms. He looked back to Archer and shook his hand. "I must say you look awfully familiar."

Oh, crap! Daniels thought to himself.

"I assume you see so many faces, sir, that may look familiar," Archer said from experience, releasing his hand.

"Yes, but you look…you know…son of a gun." Kirk said. "Of course! You look just like Jonathan Archer!"

Damn! Damn! Damn! How could I be so careless? Daniels thought.

"Well…you actually are not the first person to think I was Captain Archer," Archer said, trying his best not to laugh.

"Captain?" Kirk said. "Oh, yes…when he commanded the first Enterprise. It's amazing how much more he did after doing so much as a captain. The Xindi, the Romulans, his time on Andoria…" Kirk trailed off.

This was a mistake…a HUGE mistake! Daniels thought.

"Well, you know…it's all part of history," Archer said.

"I am very proud of my great-great grandfather," Kirk said. "I don't talk of him much as an ancestor of mine, but when I'm reminded of him like I am right now…well I guess my ego gets the best of me. Did you know that John Gill, bless his soul, called Archer the greatest explorer of the 22nd Century?"

"Really?" Archer drew out, giving a nervous chuckle. "Well space was…more wide open back then. I suppose it's all relative."

Kirk slapped the air between he and Archer.

"Nonsense. Are you kidding? This is Jonathan Archer we're talking about. He had the guts to do things many these days wouldn't even think about. He had ice in his veins. He would stand between any threat and the things he cared about—whether family, friends, or Earth itself—to protect them. He literally saved this planet from inhalation. Amazing. It's no wonder so many things are named after him."

The conversation was making Archer very uncomfortable. Surly, this Kirk was exaggerating.

"Not too many people meet their great-great grandfathers, you know," Kirk said, calmly. "I consider myself very lucky." Kirk looked at Archer and nodded his head.

If Archer had a drink, he would have spit it all over Kirk. Could he possible know what was going on?

"Sir?" was all Archer could say.

"Yes. I was very fortunate. And to think he lived long enough to be at the christening of the very ship that would end up being my first command. Jonathan Archer! It's really amazing when I think about it!"

Archer was now more than curious. He could find out how long he's going to live and when he dies.

"Really?" Archer said. "You know…I just can't recall when that was off the top of my head. When was the christening exactly?"

"Are you kidding? It was in the year 22…" Kirk began to say before the doors hissed open. Entered Daniels, who seemed to be sweating profusely, even for the heavy uniform he was wearing.

"Ahhhhh, Captain Kirk, Captain Ar…ah, I mean Lieutenant…Lieutenant Coto. I see the two of you have…" Daniels said before being interrupted by Kirk.

"Daniels?" Kirk asked. "What the hell are you doing here?"

Archer and Daniels look at Kirk as if their eyes were about to fly out if their sockets.
