|Title= Tensions and Discoveries
|Short Description= Analysis of trends reveals some potentially disturbing developments in the Gamma Quadrant.
|Long Description=
Marine Second Lieutenant Ithri Sh'shelor, working in the Marine Intelligence Office, has been analyzing various pieces of data over the past few months. She discovers a troubling pattern that hints at a significant threat, prompting her to contact Lieutenant Commander Avander Promontory for further analysis.
Walker, just arriving aboard the OEB, makes a beeline to meet Avander, and incidentally Ithri, who shares that there is evidence of coordinated efforts by hostile groups in the Gamma Quadrant. Shadowy organizations have been engaging in suspicious transactions and making strategic acquisitions that could pose a significant risk to the USS Octavia E. Butler and its mission.
Commander Margaret Walker, the Director of Intelligence, reveals she has also been investigating the increasing number of hostile encounters the ship has been facing. Her findings suggest that these incidents may not be isolated, but rather part of a larger scheme. After discussion, Commander Walker, agrees with their assessment and authorizes further monitoring and investigation. Promontory, who's transitions from his intelligence role, hands over the responsibility to Ithri and Walker while expressing his desire to stay informed.

|Title= Diplomatic Training
|Short Description= Nilsen, Martinson, Taggart and Sherlock, reflect on recent diplomatic missions and undergo training to improve the team's effectiveness in future encounters.
|Long Description=
In the conference room on Deck 5, Lieutenant JG Lhandon Joseph Nilsen, still reflecting on his previous diplomatic missions, meets with Lieutenant Melvin Martinson and Ensign Taggart for a training session organized by Lieutenant Commander Aine Sherlock. Nilsen recounts his experiences, noting his success in negotiations on Alpha Brenkelvi II and the Chey'd mission with the UDP, but also his failure during the King's Path mission where the away team was captured.
Sherlock sees potential in Nilsen and organizes this session to address and improve their public speaking and diplomatic skills. Martinson and Taggart, both new faces to Nilsen, engage in this training session, offering responses and feedback as Nilsen narrates his past experiences and the lessons learned from them.
The training intensifies as Nilsen, Taggart, and Martinson simulate a new negotiation scenario. Nilsen practices deflecting demands for Federation membership and refocuses the conversation on mutually beneficial arrangements. Martinson and Taggart challenge Nilsen, who demonstrates improved negotiation techniques and strategic thinking, ultimately suggesting exclusive mining rights as a solution.
In subsequent sessions, the team refines their strategies further. Nilsen and Taggart play out more complex scenarios, with Martinson providing critical feedback. They explore various negotiation tactics, learning to navigate potential pitfalls and enhance their diplomatic acumen. The training sessions culminate with Nilsen confidently applying his new skills in a high-stakes negotiation simulation, leaving the team optimistic about their preparedness for future missions.

|Title= Pranking Plans on the USS Octavia E. Butler
|Short Description= Ensign Yinn and Zarah Johnson plan a prank involving food replicators, targeting unsuspecting crewmembers, particularly the new Director of Intelligence.
|Long Description=
Ensign Yinn and Zarah Johnson, driven by a desire for mischief, conspire to prank crewmembers aboard the USS Octavia E. Butler. Their scheme centers on hacking the food replicators to alter the personal preferences of their targets, ensuring they receive undesirable or humorous food items instead of their usual choices. They aim to prank the new Director of Intelligence, hoping to remain undetected.
The duo brainstorm various ideas, initially considering using smelly foods like stinky cheese or a pungent Bolian fish called zherlac, but land on the the hilarity of serving raw potatoes. To execute their plan, they need access codes, which Yinn manages to obtain from Wauhk, a loud science officer whose dietary preferences were easily overheard. They also consider using a holo emitter to disguise themselves during the hack to avoid detection by security cameras, ultimately deciding to use a likeness of the Director of Intelligence, Walker, to further mislead any investigations.
With the codes in hand, they plot to use the holo emitter and a strategy to disguise their actions effectively. Zarah emphasizes the importance of covering their tracks to ensure their prank remains untraceable. They plan to alter the replicator settings so their victim receives the same unwanted item at every meal, adding to the prank's impact. With the plans set, they'll execute them when the time is right.

|Title= A Brush with Telepathy and a Taste of Orzata
|Short Description= Josh Herrick and Karen Stendhal engage in a conversation about telepathy, the crew’s morale, and drinks in the Writer's Room.
|Long Description=
Lieutenant JG Josh Herrick and Lieutenant JG Karen Stendhal find themselves in the Writer’s Room on Deck 8 of the USS Octavia E. Butler. They engage in a candid conversation, with Herrick sharing his reflections on recent missions and Stendhal mentioning her telepathic abilities. Herrick, cautious about telepathy, tries to maintain control over his thoughts, while Stendhal reassures him of her intentions. They discuss the various zones within the Writer’s Room, including spots frequented by introverts and senior officers.
As their conversation continues, Herrick remarks on the commodore's successful transition and acknowledges Stendhal's role in maintaining crew morale. A waiter arrives, and both order drinks, with Stendhal choosing Orzata, a nostalgic non-alcoholic beverage from her childhood. Herrick decides to try it as well. The drinks prompt a discussion about past experiences and the nature of life in Starfleet, with Herrick reflecting on the phrase "Ad Astra Per Aspera."
The exchange delves into personal reflections, and Herrick finds himself occasionally struggling with the awkwardness of having his thoughts read. He tries to keep his mind clear of negative thoughts, with Stendhal humorously acknowledging the challenge. As Herrick attempts to steer the conversation back to safer topics, a flash of Caden Voss in the turbolift crosses his mind, highlighting his ongoing efforts to manage his inner world amidst the complexities of telepathic interactions. As she prods further on who Caden was, Josh mentions that the man had saved his life. With the uncomfortable tension around not being able to control the thoughts being read, he politely excuses himself to return to duty. This doesn't seem to be an uncommon occurrence for the counselor as she reflects on the vacant seat across from her and her empty glass.
