Fraternisation

Part 1

Captain: Archer, Jonathan

At their first meeting it seemed as though it was going to be a mostly hate relationship. She had turned her back on him when he offered his hand which knowing Trip he saw it as a challenge. They bickered over many things but worked well as a team. When we had contact with an unknown species they worked together to eliminate them and send them packing.

In the second year, I held the belief that it would be me and T'Pol together. This was in my own mind as the tension between her and Trip, that had sparked many arguments on the bridge, which showed their true feelings. I may have retracted myself from my crew when we fought the Xindi. But rumours told me enough. The neuro-pressure sessions sparked enough talk about their relationship.

In our forth year, on our shore leave, they left for Vulcan. But T'Pol married to save her mothers honour, also marring a guy she barely knew, crushing his heart in the process. It became too much for him when she returned and transferred to the Columbia. She was released from her marriage and he returned, in spectacular fashion. The Orions arrived and they saved our asses again. Their relationship was repaired until Paxton came along. Elizabeth represented what they wanted most but that was taken away from them.

They love each other without fault and are not afraid.

This document enclosed is one of the five (and many others) reports on the relationship of Commander Tucker and T'Pol. Breaking the fraternisation rules is against Starfleet regulations and could equal the two being transferred to different ships or demoted. The other documents attached will also be reviewed to decide what will happen to the Commanders.
