Epilogue

Jon got out of his command chair as Sub-Commander T’Pol and Hoshi and Travis entered the bridge and took there respective stations.

“Glad to have you back. T’Pol, Hoshi, Travis,” Jon said as he stepped over to T’Pol’s station.

“Thanks, it’s glad to be back.” Hoshi said as she took her earpiece and placed it in her ear.

“Thank you sir,” Travis said as he checked coordinates.

T’Pol just nodded her thanks and sat down at her station.

“I just got through speaking with Vansha. All the children have been released. We are now free to go. Shran has also apologized for the aggressive behavior of his crew and himself,” Jon continued.

Malcolm had come in just then and nodded to Jon as he took his station. Malcolm had been down in Sickbay, while Dr. Phlox had been looking over Malcolm’s healing wounds.

After hearing what Jon had called the Andorian’s abuse, Malcolm thought.
“Aggressive is a very mild way of putting it, sir.”

In Engineering Trip fed power to his engines, in preparation of going to warp.

The com panel sounded.

“Captain Archer to Commander Tucker.”

Trip punched the appropriate button to open the channel.

“Tucker here, go ahead, Capn’.”

“Are we ready?” Jon asked, meaning the engines.

Trip took a minute to look at the antimatter glowing inside the engine before nodding his head, though Jon couldn’t see him.

“We’re as ready as we’ll ever be, sir.” Trip said.

~~~~~~
“We’re as ready as we’ll ever be, sir,” Trip’s voice filtered through the speakers on the com panel near Jon’s hand.

Jon nodded at the panel, then turned to face Travis.

“Warp 4.5, Travis. Let’s get out of here while we still can,” Jon ordered.

Travis nodded and engaged the engines.

“Aye sir.” He said from his console.

Jon sat back down in his chair.

All of this was just a hoax, he told himself.

Jon stared out at the sea of stars, so many planets and cultures to see and visit and so little time.

Now Jon’s only question was will it be a hoax next time?

Jon pondered that question as Enterprise resumed course toward the unknown.

The End.
