Radak? So the captain and the commander... Raybeck?

So the captain and the commander are both out this week.

The captain got recalled to Starfleet.

He has another hearing because we eradicated another species that we shouldn't have eradicated.

Right, the one that we generated in the first place.

Yeah.

So is it going to be a net zero?

Yeah, it's tough.

Because we made them, but we also destroyed them. So, like, how much trouble are we really in? Right, I'm up to date on that. What's your follow-up? Commander also has a family reunion. So he's back at Starfleet command for that. Have you ever pictured plural corbamites?

Anyway, so you and I have been tasked with its career counseling week. So we need to counsel each of the crew members on, you know, where they're going to go from here? Where do you see yourself in Starfleet in five years? Do you see yourself in Starfleet for five years? How are you doing, you know, in your position right now? Is this an annual check-in? It's supposed to be every six months, but we've actually never done one before. But it's the only way you can advance in Starfleet. It's like how you get promotions. So are the promotions that we've made without referencing this sort of check-in? Technically, none of the promotions that have been made on the ship are official. Ah. They're just kind of like within the ship that we, but we've never actually reported them.

And it's an operator to Lieutenant Commander Quirk Watson.

This is Lieutenant Commander Crick Watson.

Hi, we are being hailed by a shuttle.

Apparently, Captain Baxter has sent us a psychic to help with Career Week.

Oh, okay. Should I beam the psychic aboard?

Yeah, beam that person aboard. All right. Can I beam? Is that a thing that I do? Um, you know,

I'm going to tell engineering to do it. I mean... Oh, it's an engineering up right next to you. That's about her. Anten Engineering, could you please beam over the psychic from her shuttle?

I guess we could have her dock in the shuttle bay.

Yeah, we could do that too.
