The Drake emerges from null space, and discovers that back in their own universe, only a few hours have passed. For many of the crew, and indeed the ship herself, the scheduled shakedown to Alpha Centauri is more like a post-mission shore leave, allowing them to rest, relax and recoup from their encounters with the Saksenna and the planet. The crew have ample opportunity to do so, as they are staying at a six-star resort facility while their ship is repaired. | |||
On Alpha Centauri, two new officers await to join the crew: Commander Karynn Brice, Xeno-Anthropologist/Psychologist, and Lieutenant Jade Shryker, Security officer. Having been book on the same transport, the two officers strike up a friendship during a shared visit to one of the resort's many luxury spas. | |||
Much of the crew wastes no time in getting acquainted with the resort's many amenities, as well. Lieutenant JG Dantin-Vex and Crewman Vera Anderson-Vex, having learned the that embryos previously removed from Vera's womb during a medical emergency are now able to be re-implanted, take to a family day out at the beach with Dantin's son Danny. They are joined by Ensign Sakorra Reed and her son Sabek, who has recently become a friend and schoolmate of Danny's. Reed's mood is less celebratory than the Vexes', as she tries to establish a new equilibrium in her relationship with her formerly estranged husband, Lt. Commander Solok. | |||
Elsewhere on one of the resort's beaches, Ensign T'Vek is spending some long-awaited one-on-one time with a potential new flame, Ensign Marcus Sung. Commander Rogers, Lieutenant Sinda and Lieutenant JG Pandora meet Commander Brice, and Commander Rogers's attempts to ignite an interest in golf in the others is met with less than encouraging results, especially when competing with the more universally enjoyable poker. | |||
Lt. Commander Danzia heads for a Texas-themed restaurant to indulge in her fondness for both ribs and country music. Passing by, a newly bespectacled Ensign Didrik Stennes notices her, and the two agree to share a meal. Stennes' lukewarm reaction to having a pot of coffee spilled on him suggests that there may have been some lingering effects to his encounter with the Mist in null space. | |||
Lt. Commander David Whale and Lieutenant JG Oliver Weston, catching up after Whale's time-distorted seven-months in null space, elect to remain aboard the Drake a while, and share drinks in her crew lounge. There, Weston lets it slip that Whale's wife, Ensign Fiona Shelley, is pregnant. Also aboard the Drake, Commander Aron Kells solicits Ensign Lai Jo'rek's insight into the one of the species encountered in null-space, and the two agree to co-author a paper on the topic before Kells in unexpectedly called away by an incoming message from Starfleet. | |||
