{Main Engineering}

“Come for a swim? Are you mad!" The Tellarite was irate! "Maybe I should go on the command path and have all this free time to enjoy myself in the sun and sand and sea? I'm an engineer not a mermaid!" Taazk expended the remaining air in his lungs.

"If that's how you feel about it I understand. I thought you could use a break but it's ok, maybe Ensign Taylor is free? Where is she anyway?" Archer turned and formed a sly smile on his face. "

"Just because you are XO now that doesn't mean I have to be nice to you!" Taazk called.

"Sure pal, whatever you say Captain Taazk!" Archer chuckled, "I'll bring you back a horga'hn. Seems like you need it!"

Taazk picked up the hyperspanner and issued a Tellarite warcry and chased Archer out of engineering.

The two officers spilled out into the corridor, almost crashing into a couple of passing crewmen, Taazk still shouting.

“Alright, alright! Sorry I asked!” Archer conceded, his hands up in a surrendering motion. “Is there anything I can help you with here? I’m not letting my hair down on Risa if it means you’re sweating your shirt off in engineering.”

Taazk thought about the offer for a moment.

“There is actually one thing you can do for me.....”
