Plot Synopsis:

The covert team penetrated Cardassian space for their reconnaissance mission after intense training and preparation. Spook successfully piloted the shuttle to their destination undetected where the small team proceeded to their ultimate objective. They moved quickly, but carefully through the installation and had a few close calls along the way, narrowly avoiding detection.

The facilities were found to be more than they appeared and full of various kinds of munitions. With their mission complete, the teams returned to the shuttle and headed back to Discovery. Tension ran high among all the team members given the nature of their mission, but all personnel returned to the ship

Back aboard ship, the rest of the crew had no choice except to wait for the teams to return. Commander Lochnivar ran drills for his engineering teams to be sure everything was working at optimal performance.

In other news:

As a new addition to the crew, Caroline Jones joins Discovery as the new Chief Medical Officer.

There will be a command change for the ship in the near future as Melissa steps down and Michael takes over as CO with the XO remaining the same. Hopefully, the change will go as smoothly as things evolve aboard the ship.

Respectfully Submitted,

Leanne
XO of the USS Discovery
