Captain Archer

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 18991

The older, watery-eyed man was the first -real- Federation Starship Captain. Torres had been on a holodeck recreation of his ship 'Enterprise' dozens of time during the few months she had been in Starfleet Academy. It was one of the rare pleasent memories he had of the place.
Unfortunately during Archer's time the Klingon's had been enemies of the Federation and now Archer had a phaser pointed at her. His soot dusted face crinkled in an expression of concern. His suit itself was torn and burnt.
Torres raised her arms, knowing it was a sign of surrender among humans.
"I come in peace!" she said. "Don't shoot!"
"Why are you wearing a Federation uniform, Klingon?"
Torres remembered an old lesson, one she had learned on the bridge of the faux-Enterprise.
After the first few time-travel encountered many policies had been drafted to ensure the time lane stayed pure. Including something all cadets were taught, in case they met a Federation visitor from the past. (It wasn't as rare as the authorties hoped).
"Time travel protocol X-58 224!" Torres said. "And dammit, put that thing away!"
"Protocol...wha?" said Archer. "No, you're right. I made it and I should follow it. Don't answer any of my stupid questions. What do you recommend we do?"

  1. Torres had no idea.
  2. Torres had an idea.
  3. Torres did have an idea but an attacking Romulan bonked it clean out of her head with an iron bar. She saw Archer stun the enemy as she blacked out.
