The week-long journey had been somewhat demanding for the young woman. Although she was capable of participating in the First Contact race mission, it was not her area of expertise. Primarily engaged in laboratory work, she now found herself stepping outside her comfort zone, which was not particularly enjoyable for her. Nevertheless, she had taken the week's training seriously.
At present, Mika was positioned on the Bridge, which contributed to her discomfort. Standing beside the console, while Qi operated it, Mika observed the readouts being displayed. She noted that he was not primarily using the passive sensors, which provided less detailed information. Given their presence in the space of a new species, she understood the rationale behind acquiring limited knowledge.
This species appears to hold their races in high regard. However, what is the purpose if there is a significant risk of fatality? Surely there are safer methods to achieve the same goals without such major risks.
Qi had directed the scanners toward the particle stream ahead, presumably focusing on scientific phenomena rather than other ships. He made a lighthearted remark about hoping not to find the ship itself within the stream. Temporal mechanics were notoriously complex, but Mika refrained from commenting. Feeling uncomfortable on the Bridge, she preferred not to draw attention to herself. She kept her thoughts private and waited for the sensor data to be processed.
