Missions

The Dutchman is new. The crew is newer. What starts as a salvage tip on a cheap token turns into the crew's first real look at what they are capable of and what the galaxy they have chosen to operate in is capable of right back. Getting out of the Borg mission alive feels like the hard part. It is not. Zedd's past shows up uninvited, a cargo run turns out to be a trap, and a derelict ship in a nebula that nobody was supposed to find changes what the Dutchman is in ways that cannot be undone. By the time the season closes the crew has been tested in ways that count and made a choice that says something real about who they decided to be when it mattered. The galaxy has noticed. Whether that is good or bad depends entirely on who is doing the noticing.
