Captain Iphigenia’s curiosity raced through her mind as she made her way to the meeting room aboard the Leviathan. Simultaneously, she sent a comm call to Lieutenant Commander Magnusson, who had informed her days earlier about the impending arrival of a new officer—a member of an extraordinary species known as the Vendorians. Fueled by her eagerness to learn more, she was resolute in gathering as much information as possible to ensure a seamless integration of this unique individual into their crew. “Lieutenant, when you have a moment, I would like to speak with you regarding the arrival of our new Chief Counselor. Please meet me in the briefing lounge on Deck 23.”
