“I KNOW THINGS NOW”

“And I know things now
Many valuable things
That I hadn’t known before
Do not put your faith
In a cape and a hood
They will not protect you
The way that they should
And take extra care with strangers
Even flowers have their dangers
And though scary is exciting
Nice is different than good”

-‘I Know Things Now’ by Stephen Sondheim

 

The former crew of the Amundsen gathers together after months apart as Captain Myers takes command of the newly refit USS Galaxy. Dispatched to Gertuo III for a simple ‘fly the flag and impress the new kids on the block’ mission, the crew expects to put on a show and enjoy a quiet assignment to get used to their new home. At the same time, the Diplomatic Corps seeks to woo the planet into joining the Federation.

As the crew spends more and more time around the Gertuo people, it becomes clear something is lurking under the surface. As the Galaxy crew digs deeper to prove their suspicions they run into an unlikely roadblock: a Diplomatic Crops desperate for a win after Frontier Day.

No longer content to sit on the sidelines and follow orders, Myers will push beyond the bounds of her authority and risk her new command to uncover what’s hidden under the surface of what might be the Federation’s newest ally.
