Alexandra called the security staff together. There had been a lot of crew shakeups lately, and she needed to see the personnel she had on hand. It was a light compliment, but they were all highly rated, quality officers. As they were all standing in muster, she looked them over. They’d be okay somehow.

“Everyone. Your attention please. Some of you are new, some of you are veterans of this crew. We’re a little shorthanded during crew rotations. We all have jobs to do. I’m here to support you if you need it. Stick together and everything will be okay.” Alexandra nodded to close her remarks. A hand went up. “Yes ensign?”
“How long will it be until we can take leave again?”
“Not long Ensign. Not long.”

Meanwhile

Ael was doing a little routine maintenance on his fighter. He couldn’t help but consider the past. Romulus. All his friends in the wing. A lot had gone away. He was starting to feel like an old man left behind by time. The kind of person who people avoided lest he start reminiscing about some bygone era. Polishing the “Apex” written on his fighter, he concluded his maintenance and headed to the locker room to put all his tools back away.
