Here's where the brilliance of Keene shows through, for even if his primary mission fails, he's still sown discord and creating an inhospitable working environment for two key people.
Astrid! I was a little confused (I wonder, is there a paragraph missing?), as she was not introduced with the senior staff yet she's mentioned as reacting with Q'Sar, so that's a little confusing.
Also, since Q'Sar is the last Vulcan in Starfleet, is this post-nuTrek, with their planet destroyed?

And straight to the fun, eh? the attack is happening and I was caught off guard, thinking we had a little more scene left. So that was good timing and pacing of the chapter. Kalara managed to control and comport herself for what had to be a very nasty thing to say for herself. It really had to stick in her craw to say she no longer had command. But it seems that the Klingon attack has thrust Kalara into the command chair in this emergency situation. Good stuff.
Again, I'm liking the touches with Dax and the recall of past hosts in regarding situations. Ianto too settling into things but obviously Kalara's situation and attitude was bound to throw him. And the poor doc has to be perplexed himself about the seemingly erratic behaviour of Kalara. So how is this going to pan out?

Well, that's not a happy household at the moment. A friend of mine has a saying, "Happy wife, happy life." The opposite is also true ... and much more so when said wife is a Klingon!
I guess Jasto's and Damien's manly drinking and talking session will have to be put on hold ... red alert klaxons and attacking Klingons usually put an end to that kind of fun pretty fast. Jasto is probably relieved. 
Luckily, the ship's XO is ready for command and primed for battle ... let's see how this goes.

Kalara handled that well, all things considered. Unfortunately, the whole loss-of-command issue is taking its toll on her relationship with her husband.
No doubt it will be sheer agony for her to watch Ba'el command the crew she assembled, seated in what should have been her chair, but as she's already noted, she's a Starfleet officer and she must bear that burden if she wants to remain in uniform.
And it appears she'll get the chance to test Redemption's tactical systems prior to the captain's arrival.
