Not the typical reunion of a Starfleet officer and her former crew but unavoidable. I have the gut feeling that Mahoney will use his visit on “Eagle” to embarrass Taz and undermine her standing in the presence of the bridge officers. If Owens was there, he could bridle his cheap tit-for-tat but as it is, he outranks everyone on the ship. I can only hope that Eagle’s crew won’t buy his insinuations and will remain loyal to Star’s orders until Owens returns. I wonder whether Leva will accompany Mahoney. He might act as a deterrent to some extent. Probably Katanga’s authority and refreshing directness will also help Taz stand her ground.

Author's Response: It's going to be Star's biggest challenge yet, serving as first officer on Eagle, that's for sure. We'll have to see if Star with her going-at-it-alone mentality can get the support she most likely going to need.
