Pathyeager...
Surprisingly, Starfleet Command had saw fit to reassign him to a ship of her, albeit limited, caliber. He wasn't aware they were in the business of excusing treason.
He couldn't complain. Hectic as his career had become, anything beat going home and breaking the bad news to his parents. They'd devoted decades of service to Starfleet only to be rewarded with a spineless traitor of a son.
And once again he found himself staring at the warp core, tracking swirling blue clouds with the intensity that a toddler draws scribbles on a wall. Some people had black coffee, some had hot earl grey tea, but Altairi would dive headfirst into a nebula for the sight of matter meeting antimatter.
"The diagnostics just came through, sir. All systems green."
"So I guess that's my cue?" He turned around, flashing a smile toward the woman stepping out of the lift and collecting the datapad she held in her hand.
"Ensign Elliot and our new middie should be down here soon-- if you want to wait a while longer."
He turned to take a final quick glance at the warp core, then set his eyes on the pair of doors that led into Engineering.
"Sounds like a plan."
