-- Cochrane Arena: San Francisco, Earth --


Vic stood with other Armory personnel for this  historic occasion. To think 
all their trials and hardships came to this moment.  With him for this 
event were of course, the Avengers. Anderson, Bushnell,  Galloway and Magee. The 
others had bandages showing their sacrifice, but Magee  had to wear a 
special cast and was getting around with the aid of crutches. The  doctors had 
advised her not to go, but a certain commander had broken her out of  the 
rehab center.
 
 
  Bushnell said, "Sir, have you ever met Capt. Archer?"
 
 
  Vic replied, "No I haven't Bushnell. Of course like everyone else,  I've 
heard of his exploits with the Enterprise."
 
 
  Just then, Archer started his speech. He spoke of the many trials  and 
hardships they'd faced. Vic only had to look at Magee and recall his own  
adventures during the war, to be reminded of those hardships. Still, it was a  
speech filled with hope for the present, as well as for the future. Vic found 
 himself clapping and cheering with the others, as the speech went on.
 
 
  Next came the ambassadors and the first was the Vulcan, T'Jan. Vic  had 
to give his people a look to prevent their booing the Vulcan. To say the  
Vulcans had been less than helpful regarding technology, would have been an  
understatement. When she got to the non interference part of her speech, Magee 
 made a rude sound and Vic shot her a look. Though he couldn't really blame 
her,  it was the way they all felt. Vic was sure they weren't alone in 
their attitude  regarding the Vulcans.
 
 
  Vic and the others gave the ambassadors from the other worlds polite  
applause. The Cordian ambassador a bit more than the others. Vic and his group  
understood how the Cordians felt about the treachery they'd suffered at the 
 hands of the Vulcans and Andorians. When all the platitudes were over 
with, Vic  turned and said, "Well, how'd it feel to witness history?"
 
 
  Bushnell summed up the attitude of most of the Armory personnel. He  
said, "Hey, let's grab a pizza and some beer."
 
 
Vic nodded and replied, "Sounds good. I'll be buying." Vic and the Avengers 
 headed for the nearest pizza place and looked forward to a good time 
before  heading back to the ship.
