Captain Ed Mercer stands on the bridge of the USS Orville, his hands resting lightly on the back of the command chair. The wide viewscreen frames a tapestry of stars. This ship, once an unexpected lifeline, now feels like home. The ghost of a derailed career and a broken marriage lingers, but out here, with a crew he trusts and a universe to map, he has found a purpose worth fighting for.
