Story[]
Act 1[]
Prologue
Captain's log, stardate 57931.4.
The crew is restless.
After spending too many months piecing our ship back together, we're finally about to venture out on a new mission and the crew isn't letting this unprecedented ion storm slow them down. They're ready for something different. I know I am. Perhaps more than any of them.
Fortunately, nothing ever stays the same. It's entropy. The nature of the universe. Change is inevitable, and while entropy says order gives way to chaos, in this case change is good...
Our new first officer is en route to the Resolute... Jara Rydek. I know she'll bring a welcome dose of new blood to the crew.
It won't be easy for Jara to step in at the eleventh hour like this. But if she's half the officer I knew she could become when she was a cadet at Starfleet Academy, she'll be the XO this ship needs right now.
--Captain Zachary Solano, Commanding Officer, USS Resolute
Solano's log plays as the intro credits roll. Shuttlecraft Bronson is traveling through an ion storm. As the log mentions Jara Rydek, the player assumes the perspective of Rydek, who can see a reflection of herself as she looks out the shuttle's observation port. An ionic discharge rocks the shuttle, breaking Rydek from her apparent reverie.
The perspective switches to above, where we can see Rydek sitting between two unnamed ensigns on the starboard side of the cabin. Ensign Paul Calloway and Petty Officer Miranda Maris can be seen sitting on the port side. A PADD flies from Calloway's hand. Rydek either catches it or lets it fall to the ground and then picks it up, offering it back to Calloway. Rydek and Calloway have a brief conversation regarding Calloway's anxieties about the shuttle ride and his new posting on the USS Resolute, when Rydek confides that she too is here for a new posting on Resolute.
Jara looks back out the observation port, where we can see the shuttle has arrived at Starbase 128. The USS Intercept can be seen moored at Terminal 3, USS Centennial appears at Terminal 2. The USS Kimball and USS Cormorant maneuver around the station. As Solano's log finishes, the perspective transitions to the exterior of the shuttle for a flyby. The USS Resolute can be seen here at Terminal 4 as the title card is displayed. Bronson continues in to dock with the starbase.

Starbase 128 Concourse Welcome Message
Upon arriving at Starbase 128 the occupants of the shuttle Bronson filter through security. Commander Rydek and Ensign Calloway discuss the Torvallin test, a Starfleet Academy tactical simulation that Calloway boasts is even more difficult and prestigious than the infamous Kobayashi Maru scenario. The young ensign blusters about his top 20 all-time score. When Rydek goes through the bioscanner it shows her half-Human half-Kobliad lineage. Calloway is astonished that he didn't recognize Rydek sooner, as she had scored in the top 3 all-time on the Torvallin test.
Lower Concourse, Terminal 4, Starbase 128. USS Resolute
The security officer informs Rydek she needs to meet Commander Yann Urmott, and she heads down the concourse to the lounge. After briefly exploring the lounge, Rydek and Urmott proceed down to the lower concourse while discussing Rydek's history. He explains that her duty on a small science vessel might be quite different from her previous assignment on the USS Endeavour. From the lower concourse, the pair can get a full view of the USS Resolute. Urmott marvels that the ship had come along way since almost being destroyed six months before, though he hesitates to say more about it. He also cautions that she may not receive a warm welcome from all of the crew. The chapter ends with Urmott mentioning the high-priority mission to the Hotari system and saying Captain Solano would want to meet her as soon as possible.
