Iphigenia activated her console, reviewing the key points of the status report one last time. She mentally reviewed the areas of concern, the depleted dilithium reserves, the warp core instability, the structural integrity field damage, and the life support strain. These were their immediate priorities, the problems that could spell disaster if not handled properly.

She made her way to the ready room, it was impossible to ignore the heavy atmosphere aboard the ship.
The door to the ready room slid open with a soft hiss, and Iphigenia stepped inside. She stood behind the sleek desk, placing her hands on its surface as she studied the space. The large star chart on the far wall, usually a comfort, now only reminded her of how lost they were…light-years and millions of years from anything familiar.
She took in the few moments of quietness before the department heads began arrive.
