Excuse me.
Scotch!
The bar's reserved for regular customers.
Galactic heroes have to sit at a table.
I heard about your promotion.
- Congratulations, Captain.
- Thanks.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
So what was it like in the Expanse?
- You'll be at the debriefing tomorrow, won't you?
- Mm-hmm.
I wouldn't want to spoil any surprises.
Besides, I've got more important questions.
Seen any good movies while I was gone?
Another World War III epic.
Swept all the awards.
But you haven't missed much.
Earth's been holding its breath for the past year,
wondering if the Xindi were going to come back and finish the job.
On the bright side, there've been more weddings and births than ever before.
I don't see a ring.
I'm married to Starfleet.
Just like you.
Come in.
Looks like you're taking enough clothes to last a year.
You wanted something?
I told the captain I wanted to stay aboard and supervise the refit,
but he suggested I take a break.
More like an order, actually.
The problem is, I'm not sure where to go.
Lizzie's gone, my home town doesn't exist anymore.
I guess this is my home now.
- You could come with me.
- To Vulcan?
The transport leaves at 1100 hours.
Where would I stay?
There's a guest room in my mother's home.
Oh, your mom's house, huh?
What... what does she know about me?
About us?
I've never mentioned you.
So you'd introduce me as...?
Commander Charles Tucker III.
You've told the Captain that you don't get to see as many alien cultures as you'd like.
You've never been to Vulcan.
1100 hours, huh?
I'd better start packing.
We've tied these stations directly in the primary EPS junction.
I hope you don't mind if I steal some of these improvements.
I won't say anything...
if you do me a small favor.
My senior officer candidates.
I'd like to get your opinion.
You've served with a few of them.
You might want to talk to someone about installing a lumbar support.
You're going to spend a lot of hours in that chair.
We've improved hull polarization by 12%
Be able to hang in a firefight a little longer.
Ventral and dorsal torpedo launchers, pulsed phase cannons.
Upgrades you recommended.
What is it?
I had an argument once with Captain Jefferies.
He was one of the designers of the NX-Class.
I'm aware of that.
I told him I didn't want to be in command of a warship
trying to make first contact with new species.
Jefferies was right.
We needed those weapons...
and a hell of a lot more.
The asteroids were loaded with trellium ore.
We think the Vulcans entered the field in order to mine it.
Trellium?
It's an alloy that protects against spatial anomalies.
ships in the Expanse used it to insulate their hulls.
Your log reflects that when you boarded the Seleya you found the crew in a "delusional, violent state."
They attacked us the minute we docked.
The trellium had a toxic effect on the Vulcans.
It damaged their neural pathways.
They lost the ability to suppress their emotions.
According to your log, the entire crew of the Seleya was killed when you triggered a reactor breach.
The breach was an accident.
We were trying to disable their power grid.
As far as I can determine, you didn't try to save a single Vulcan crewman.
There was no
