Description:

Malcolm, Hoshi, and Travis hit it off from Day 1 - in the deleted frostbite scene between Hoshi and Malcolm, and from the very first moment we see Malcolm and Travis on screen in Broken Bow. Throughout Season 1 and much of Season 2, these three dine together, tease each other, and share meaningful looks on the Bridge (especially when they can't say a damn thing about how their superior officers are acting).

Malcolm is usually considered to be dour, a stick-in-the-mud, friendless and unsmiling. But not when he's with these two. More often than not (when not in A Situation) he has his tongue firmly in cheek, especially when teasing Travis. He shares a sense of mischief with Hoshi. He sits with Travis at movie night, makes a snowman for his boomer colleague (and takes the fall for it), even looks out for Hoshi in her hallucination. And when he was bemoaning his probable fate in E2, thinking he'd died alone, he sat opposite two young ensigns who didn't seem to see this being a problem.

We deserved more of the secondary triumvirate and their charisma and chemistry. So I decided to do something about it.
