Title: One Disappointment After Another

Series: ENT, Trip Drabble Series
Code: A, drabble
Rating: G
Summary: Archer's personal log entry. (contains major spoilers for the episode "AFFLICTION")
Author's Note: Season 4 was intended to be all from the POV of the chief engineer ... however, it may not be possible to continue the rest of the season/series this way. If this is the case, I will write the remaining episodes from Archer's POV (the title "Trip Drabble Series" will remain, however). Since this episode had a lot going on that Trip was not privy to, I needed to write a second drabble about it.

My crew has disappointed me.
First, there's Trip, who for reasons he will not explain, has transferred to Columbia. Without him to guide them, the engineering staff are unorganized, and uninspired. Their work has been far from perfect, and the lack of response when I called engineering was unforgivable. Aboard this ship, I expect every crewman to do their best, without being asked ... so far, I have not had that from the acting chief engineer, or his staff.
However, the reprehensible behavior of my tactical officer is beyond my comprehension. Mister Reed's fate is uncertain ... but court martial is inevitable.
