Chapter Two

Trip blinked in surprise. Did he hear right?

“Abandon ship,” Jon said again.

Malcolm nodded and punched in a code. Suddenly a voice said.

“Abandon ship, abandon ship, this is not a drill!”

Malcolm and Jon grabbed Trip and pushed him into the turbo lift.

They rode the lift all the way down to the Launch Bay. Everyone entered the pods.

Jon was about to climb in when he remembered.

“Porthos!” he cried.

Malcolm climbed back out. “Don’t worry sir, I’ll get him.”

Before Jon could protest. Malcolm left the launch bay and a run, heading towards the Captain’s quarters.

****

Malcolm hammered the key and the door slid open.

He saw Porthos on the bed whining.

The ship shook again and again. Malcolm knew Enterprise wouldn’t last much longer.

Malcolm picked up the dog. Porthos burrowed up against his chest. He could feel the dog’s warmth radiate through his uniform. Malcolm with the dog in hand raced back to the Launch Bay.

Captain Archer was waiting on him. The pod was powered up and ready to go. Jon sat in the pilot’s seat beckoning them on.

Malcolm jumped into the pod and sat down in the last available seat while Jon closed the pod doors and keyed in the command to open the Launch Doors.

In seconds the last pod exited Enterprise and flew out.

Malcolm was at his station reading the readiness of the weapons.

T’Pol was on sensors. “Captain, there is a planet 0.1 lightyears off of heading 105.74.”

Jon looked at the coordinates. “Looks like our best shot.”

Porthos whined against Malcolm Reed, who quieted him.

Porthos settled down and started licking Malcolm’s hand.

Jon set in the course, and all the other shuttle pods followed towards the planet.

Shron watched as the pods streaked away from the ship and smiled.

Everything was working! Shron called his father, Shran, up to the bridge.

Seconds later, the blue skinned man entered. Shran took one look at the abandoned ship, then clapped his son on the shoulder.

“Well done,” Shran said. “Prepare a boarding party. We need to fix her up.”

Shron looked at his father and nodded.
