-- Cochrane Arena: San Francisco, Earth --

Rog was with  the other CO's for this historic occasion. It had been a long 
time coming and  only time would tell if it would really work. They had 
waited for the great  captain to speak and he had not let them down. Rog had 
never met Capt. Archer  before, but hoped to do so today. He looked at his 
fellow captains and they  seemed rather pleased with themselves and why 
shouldn't they? They had  accomplished something that few would've thought 
possible. Starfleet and its  allies had beaten back one of the greatest enemies that 
they'd encountered so  far. The only thing that disturbed him about that, 
was that they hadn't seen  their enemy, not once.
 
 
 
   As he listened to Archer speak, Rog found him to be rather  impressive. 
He maintained eye contact with his audience and used no aids, to  assist him 
in his speech. The speech was full of hope for the new alliance and  for 
the future. Unlike some others, Archer didn't sugar coat things, which was  
good. When the speech ended, the applause was deafening. Of course, he found  
himself clapping with the others, to the point his hands hurt. Rog didn't 
care  though.
 
  The next speaker introduced by Commodore Sheppard was the Vulcan  
Ambassador, T'Jan. Rog thought she was an attractive older woman, if you liked  
Vulcans that is. She spoke of the Vulcan/Earth relationship at length. Talking  
about their non interference policy and how Earth may not care for it, well 
she  got that right. As she finished, Rog gave her polite applause, but 
nothing more.  She was followed by other ambassadors.
 
 
 Finally, Vanderbilt spoke and gave a nice quote to finish off the  event. 
As the group broke up, Rog knew that he'd have to get back to the  Meridian. 
There were many upgrades and repairs to be done. He hoped Yue would be  
back aboard to go over these things. Chuckling, Rog knew that Yue would be the  
first one back aboard the ship, she didn't strike him as a party person. 
Well,  he for one wouldn't pass up a party. So, Rog headed for his favorite 
Irish pub,  ready to toss back a few whiskeys.
