Description[]
- B'Elanna Torres is in the captain's chair of the Defiant, and she has a choice to make: return home and report for duty as the mother Miral needs or continue saving the universe with her crew. With her disavowed status from Starfleet Command and all that she’s been through — from bounty hunting to parasite infestations — B'Elanna isn't sure she’s strong enough for either task. Luckily, O'Brien proposes a detour adventure to dismantle minefields in the Alpha Quadrant, and B'Elanna jumps at the chance to forestall a final decision... for now.
summary[]
Log entries[]
- Captain's log, USS Defiant.
- My first, in fact. And you know... I could get used to this. Not that it's all clear sailing. There's a big difference between "Acting Captain Torres" and "Captain Torres". Not to mention the fact that I'm still disavowed by Starfleet. And so, I'll only complete one mission from this chair. Get us the hell home...
