Appears that Leva is about to learn a lot more about both Mahoney and Star.
Interesting character development and a good sideline into both Mahoney and Star using Leva's POV.
Thanks!! rbs
Author's Response: Thanks. Leva is getting a real education of being a first officer. Although, I'm sure not the one he'd expected, considering the players involved.

I don’t think that Mahoney has the right to draft a large vessel like Eagle, interfering into her captain’s plans so bluntly, by claiming emergency just like that without going through the channels. So Nora probably expects that Taz is going to refuse to follow Mahoney on that mission and stick to Captain Owens’ orders. Of course, she does not suspect how difficult this is for Taz.
Leva is trying hard to be loyal to Mahoney but I guess the worm of doubt has been gnawing through his loyalty and his Romulan side might be quite right on this particular occasion. Romulan cunningness and distrust can indeed help him see Mahoney for what he really is – an ambitions, revengeful career-seeker.
Author's Response: These two guys are stuck in the middle of war and they don't even realize it. As for Mahoney's rights, I guess at this point he doesn't much care, I suppose. He's got the upper hand over Star for now, and that's all that matters to him.

Argh! There's so much happening just below the surface that these two just can't know... yet. Leva and Nora think they're just dealing with a personality conflict and bad blood, when the reality goes so much deeper.
Author's Response: Leva and Nora are on the outside looking in. Not a good situation to be in and possibly even dangerous ...
