Ava turned to him, her eyes reflecting her own curiosity. “I have no clue, but I guess we’ll find out soon enough.”

Commander Abraham overheard their conversation and leaned forward with a knowing smile. “The Captain will be docking shortly, so you’ll know soon.”

Just then, an alert chimed, signaling the arrival of the Captain’s shuttle. Abraham stood up, his voice commanding attention. “All hands on deck to greet the new Captain.”

The bridge crew followed Abraham to the lift, making their way to the landing bay. The rest of the Mandoleer’s Folly crew was already lined up, a buzz of excitement and curiosity running through the ranks.

Abraham spoke into his communicator, “Captain’s Shuttle, we are ready to receive the Captain.”

Ed walked up to Abraham, extending his hand. “Good to see you, Abraham.”

Abraham shook his hand firmly, then pulled him into a warm hug. “Welcome back, Captain.”

Seeing the informal embrace, the rest of the crew followed suit, shaking hands and hugging Ed. After the last crew member had welcomed him, Ed had to wipe a few lipstick marks from his cheeks.

“I didn’t expect such a heartfelt welcome,” Ed said, chuckling.

Abraham smiled. “We’re just glad to have you back, Captain.”

Ed looked around at his assembled crew. “I’m eager to get underway. Abraham, assemble the executive officers.”

In the bridge conference room, the executive officers gathered, the mood serious and focused. Ed addressed them, his tone firm.

“Prince Jork of Furud wasn’t the mastermind behind the chaos we’ve faced. He orchestrated Princess Dagbjort Astridsdatter’s kidnapping, but he’s not smart enough to control organized crime, pirate clans, and separatists.”

Lieutenant Commander MaelstromOrigin and Early Life Maelstrom, a Gichi-manidoo from the Rogue Moon of Giizis Babaa-ayaa in the Ontario Sector, is distinguished by her blue-furred, wild cat-like features.

Ed’s expression was grim. “Our intel suggests a group called Quorum might be responsible. We have a contact on Dryden Prime in the Dryden System. We need to get underway immediately.”

Ed looked around the table, meeting each officer’s gaze. “Prepare the ship. We leave as soon as possible.”

The officers dispersed, each heading to their respective duties. Ed made his way back to the Captain’s chair on the bridge.

“Aye, Captain,” Ava responded, her hands moving swiftly over the controls. She smiled to herself, happy to have someone like Ed in charge. Having served under him when he was First Officer, she respected him and was relieved it was him and not someone she hadn’t worked with before.

As the Mandoleer’s Folly set off on its new mission, the crew felt a renewed sense of purpose and readiness. They were ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead, knowing they were in capable hands.
