Looks like the cadets are starting to settle in, accepting that this is their place for now. Thank you for making them – all of us – feel welcome, Commander.

Of course. You may stay as long as you wish. Your return journey will not be an easy one, it seems. Do you have any leads?

None. If the Chancellor were here… We’ll figure it out. After all, we have the most powerful Independent in the galaxy on our side.

Someday you’ll be the ones calling the shots from the captain’s chair. Of course, you’ll have to work hard to earn that honor.

Alright, cadets. Enough field time. Theory is just as important, after all. Set a course for your station, Commander.

That was pretty stupid. Going off on your own like that? At least get the lay of the land first.

Take a breath, cadet. You’re alright. And we’re going to get back, that I promise you. Now, report to sick bay for a check-up. The rest of you can accompany him. I will be with you momentarily. Class dismissed!

…We need to keep them busy, Commander. I know you haven’t had the chance to do any lesson prep, but now would be a good time to throw some ideas out there.

You were about to pulverize Darem’s shuttle. I’d say that makes us enemies!

Ah, but no harm, no foul, yeah? Hey, are you with the others? We made a deal, we did. A mutually beneficial arrangement, if you will. You want in?

There’s a ship on an intercept course with his shuttle. He’s about to be in a whole lot of trouble. We have to do something!

Let him go. We have more important things to worry about than Darem’s feelings. Like what happened to the Chancellor. She was right there on the bridge before everything went dark.

Doctor, how exactly did we get here? If we can understand the mechanism by which we arrived, perhaps we can reverse-engineer a way back.

Ah, well, that’s the question of the hour, isn’t it? Something I will be looking into as soon as I acquaint myself with the Commander’s science lab.
