https://youtu.be/YucVqQS0qMY Bob and Mary started scanning and recording all the specimens. Carol focused on the numerous devices that appeared to be connected to many of the 'habitats.' It seemed they were providing power and possibly life support functions to the individual enclosures. Also, the space appeared to be filling with some sort of atmosphere although exact readings were ambiguous. Bob started using his neural scanner on some of the specimens. "They appear to be in some sort of stasis Captain," he reported. "Continue scanning and recording, also make sure you are sending your readings back to Sonny and the ship's computer." Bob replied, "aye, Skipper" and he and Mary began slowly moving along the edge of the space continuing their scanning. I wonder if this 'cube' is manned and has a crew Carol thought… Bob gave a gasp and then shifted his neural scanner to the opposite end of the space they were in. "Captain I am getti

"Refueling complete, all tanks full, all refueling equipment secured" Sonny reported. "Very well, proceeding to the High Guard position, prepare to retrieve the drone," Carol said. After the ship was close to the Drone Bob said "retrieval initiated." After a few minutes, he added, "retrieval complete, all systems secured for transit."

CAPT Burnett arrives at the Scout Base before her crew to assume her command of the Intrepid and review the status of the ship. To Carol's surprise, the base commander is a relative from her home world who was on the other side of the controversy - so not a friend. CDR Carlin gives her an icy/strictly professional reception and she knows she will get no support from him. - Was this a coincidence or setup by others? Sonny arrives first and also gives her an icy response - and seems more withdrawn than usual. She had been told he was open to the assignment and had been told she was the Captain - now she wonders. - Was this a coincidence or setup by others? The rest of the crew arrives - Bob the Astrogator who was new to Carol, and Mary the Researcher who she had worked with some during the mission contacting the new alien species. Bob seemed solid and Mary was excited to be working w/Carol again. Before actually departing the basic spaceport, a Free Trader ship was seized and the
