Our Captain was lost ... the instant the Xindi weapon exploded, we knew it. Telling the others of his fate, when we reunited with ENTERPRISE, was the hardest things I had ever done. Well, not quite ... the hardest thing I had ever done was let the Captain remain behind to set the charges. I should have insisted ... but then, that was one of the things I'd come to admire about the Captain; his "hands-on" style of command. Ah, there's Earth now ... so beautiful ... but something's wrong. We are greeted with silence ... >:-] T'Lin http://www.geocities.com/tlin_s/ http://www.geocities.com/femme_fuhq_fest/index.html "It is Unethical to harm a patient ...
