Lucy watched as launch preparations began. The various consoles and seats were filled gradually. The absence of Captain Givens was odd as officially she was the one in command of this mission. It was the unofficial stuff that was close to giving Lucy a headache. It was good that Tyra was present, even if Ben was gone and Damian had been taken off the board. The crew needed a guiding star. Being able to work independently was survivable, but working cohesively required sound direction.
Commander Jolann was a curious choice for First Officer. Denobulans were a species Lucy hadn’t come across outside of Academy classes. Biology, psychology, and culture. Generally amenable, but had their limits the same as everyone else. Odd to see one at a command level. Somebody must have thought that he fitted the bill or they wouldn’t have sent him. The mission had the appearance of just checking the borders, but motivations behind the curtain were out of reach.
All systems seemed fine and they departed DS9. The EPS fluctuations in Deck 16 were a niggle. Science did fiddle with power flow when it was absolutely necessary, but that was primarily in the wheelhouse of Engineering. Jaein would definitely have noted it for attention. Lucy left a note for herself to be wary of that area. The cargo bays held stores and supplies. Something that often was forgotten. Matter replication required the necessary parts. Rations were only for the most dire of emergencies.
Time to go pretend not to poke the bear.
It was generally borders or some shade of ideology or in some cases just weird ****. Butting heads with the Cardassians and the Breen was just one of those things that would keep happening. The antagonists would change at times, but there was always some conflict.
Just gotta get through whatever is next and not **** it up.
