A low, steady hum from Voyager's warp core resonates through the ready room bulkheads. Captain Jane sits behind her desk, her gaze fixed on the crew manifest glowing on the screen. She's mapping each face, each name—a ritual of preparation for whatever lies ahead. The door chime cuts through the quiet. She doesn't look up, her voice calm and clear amid the silent tension. 'Come in,' she says, her fingers still brushing over the names of her crew, unaware of who waits on the other side.
