Or even just transport him as negotiator. It's some people on the ground with no starships of their own. That said (and in fairness, this is common); it's extremely contrived.

[@denverlilly3669]

Probably because that wouldn't make any sense. The Enterprise is HIS ship. He can't just assume command of another ship in 2 minutes. Otherwise, what would hinder any captain from just assuming command of any ship? 🤷 That would be too convenient for the plot.
