Time & Time Again

Summary:

On earth, the year is 2335. Arthur Hastings is captain of a Miranda-class science vessel, the USS Wordsworth. Felicity Lemon, his first officer, is 1/4 Vulcan (3/4 human) and is mainly responsible for drawing up duty rosters and assigning ship's systems to the various science teams aboard vessel. She runs the ship with such efficiency that it completely boggles Captain Hastings' mind sometimes.
Near the end of the second year of their five-year mission, Admiral Japp pays them an unexpected visit...And he brings this short, stout little ambassador with him. This ambassador looks very familiar to Captain Hastings, but he can't seem to place him, especially given how nervous he is about Admiral Japp's insistence that they give the ambassador their 'full and total cooperation during his visit'.
And it turns out that Ambassador Poirot--who used to be the head of Starfleet Security--is definitely investigating something...but he's being very secretive about it: He won't seem to tell Captain Hastings anything useful about the investigation.
And Captain Hastings' greatest fears are realised when Ambassador Poirot looks Captain Hastings in the eye and tells him, in a low voice:
"Hastings. Trust no one."

BUT ADMIRAL POIROT!! SIR!! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED!! TO ASK!! THE ENSIGNS!! OUT TO LUNCH!!!
In his defence tho. Hastings was like. The ONLY ensign at that lecture. The rest of the attendees were already Captains and Commodores. He's Super Impressed that this baby ensign would A) even know about the lecture and B) even want to attend it amongst all the Bored Brass

(Also. LOL. listen to me. Poirot knows EXACTLY what that phrase is supposed to be. It's basically the same in French HE DID THAT ON PURPOSE. BECAUSE HE KNEW IT WOULD ANNOY JAPP ENOUGH THAT HE'D *LEAVE* AHAHAHAAA My man is playing like 12D chess hahahahaha)
