Plot Summary


The crew is in celebration as Ensign Tyler and Lieutenant Cunningham are promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade and Lieutenant Commander, respectively. The celebration in 12 Forward is punctuated by a number of conversations between the crew mostly notably a conflict between Shauna and Lieutenant Pascal involving Pascal's desire to have the crew wear appropriate uniforms, which they are doing in this instance and she can not understand why they wouldn't be wearing them all the time. Though it seems like things might come to violence the two both storm off and things are left near boiling. Meanwhile 46 receives a message from security that there is again a disturbance on deck 19? and he goes to investigate. In room 1904? he is startled to find someone he recognizes but before he can inform anyone else they ignite a red lightsaber and remove his head from his shoulders. When Sergeant Wedingo finds him he calls the others and while the Captain worries out the situation he learns from Shauna that 46's CPU has been purposefully damaged and Belinda informs him that it is a Sith who is responsible. They worry about the spy/saboteur on board the ship and Shauna is convinced it is Pascal.
