YE/D01 - Bridge
#65
Jenny had expected there to be an issue with her going aboard the derelict, but she hadn't expected it to come from Black; the Chief Tactical Officer herself had a reputation for taking the occasional risk, and wasn't known as a stickler for the rules and regulations, so it had been a genuine surprise when she'd been the one to speak up. Her justification was sound, it was a risk, but the entire situation was balanced on a knife-edge that teetered between success and disaster. Though she was touched by Black's concern, Jenny had a finite tolerance for sending others into danger without being able to go herself, and that tolerance had finally worn thin.

Fortunately, the new Chief Science Officer, in an excited manner she'd not seen from him since he'd reported aboard, seemed to answer Jenny's question for her. She managed, barely, to conceal an amused smile at his schoolboy enthusiasm. As a student of history, having recently rewritten her PhD thesis on Starfleet's early development into a fairly successful nonfiction text (under a pseudonym of course), Jenny was well-aware of the Lord Franklin's disappearance; it had been a minor footnote in early Starfleet history, and she'd referenced it anecdotally in her thesis as an example of how lax system security had been even following the Suliban and Xindi crises and the emergence of the Romulan threat.

“Stay behind and miss out on an opportunity to solve one of the oldest mysteries in Federation history? I wouldn’t take that deal.”

"I have no intention on missing this opportunity. Worst case scenario, the Cardassians show up and we have to make a quick getaway. Best case scenario, we solve a centuries-old mystery, save a hundred or so people, and I get to write another book and maybe retire on the proceeds."

Gathering herself and trying to contain her excitement, both professional and personal, Jenny turned to Jensen and continued giving directions to her crew.

"You have the Bridge, Commander. Keep an eye out for Cardassian patrols; if one enters sensor range you're to play possum, but if it approaches your orders are to get the ship and crew back across the border immediately. T'Lari, Theresa, I want you to try and figure out how the Lord Franklin got out here. Wormhole, alien abduction, runaway warp reaction, there are no silly theories; try and link the Yeager to the Franklin's computers, we'll be doing the same from the other end."

With that done, Jenny nodded to Jensen with a small smile, before moving towards the back of the Bridge and into the Turbolift, accompanied by Qi.
