Samira watched on as departure procedures commenced, and the ship was departed. Given the course laid, it seemed like an ordinary tract of space. Commander Talion soon joined her and she smiled back at his own hint of a smile.
"Well, I admit, it was unexpected," she replied. "I never once had to take the Big Chair when I was serving on the Yorktown. Frankly, I had figured I was going to be working on routine preflight preparations. I was certainly surprised by that comm for the Captain that brought him out of the meeting fast.
"Still, being put in charge of a ship this big definitely put a lot of responsibility on my shoulders; yes I did feel that sense of responsibility for that moment," Samira said. "Hopefully, I can be ready for it again someday. Meantime, I can do what I can as your deputy head, Commander, and I won't let you down," she added enthusiastically.
Samira looked up to see one of the Security Officers, Jez Mala, give a report, and then she went back to work.

The journey was relatively uneventful. Samira arranged to have some shifts on the bridge, but overall conducted her duties as Deputy Chief Science Officer. Sometimes, she went back to her lab to refine her forensics skills with scientific application. Other times, she practiced at the range to prepare for combat situations. Twenty-two hours later, she was in time for her bridge shift and took a seat by Commander Talion, at an auxiliary science station when the viewscreen came on. She looked over from her side of the bridge to see what was going on.
Given the comm chat, it certainly confirmed one thing the message to Captain Brooks; she remembered the messenger mention that the authorities would "be hassling them" upon arrival. She looked at Commander Talion to see he was staying observant, and she watched on, albeit kept an eye out for new orders from Talion.
==Tag Bridge, especially Talion==
==GM Input: Anything for Samira to do at her science station now that they had arrived?==
