Its been a few days since they discovered and learned about another opened rift in Klingon space. Right now, the Cerritos is in warp after its recent mission.

Rutherford: Oh. I'm pooped. Working on ocean planets really takes it out of you.

YN: I'm gonna have hard time washing my hair after this. Despite that, it was pretty nice.

Tendi: I love cataloging algae as much as anyone, but keep it to a thousand mutations or less.

Boimler: Yeah, I think I'm not gonna come back to Piskes Nine until at least tenth contact.

Boimler: Yeah, I think I'm not gonna come back to Piskes Nine until at least tenth contact

Mariner: What are you talking about? That was fun.

Tendi curiously scans Mariner.

Tendi: Hmm. Well, you don't have a fever.

Mariner: Oh, stop, stop. Sure, it was a lot of work that old Mariner would have definitely hated but, hey, that algae glowed in the dark.

Tendi: Oh! I love bioluminescence too. Mariner! I never took you for a seaweed girl.

Mariner: Mm, not when you phrase it like that, I'm not. I-I don't know, I guess I'm just starting to enjoy missions without trying to fight the system or whatever.

YN: Huh, maybe we should have some ocean planets missions sometimes.

Mariner: Doing granular science is what Starfleet's all about and, wow, I sound like a real Boimler right now.

Boimler: Yeah. Uh, cool as hell.

Boimler tries to take off the swim suit while the girls have a small chat.

Tendi: You've really come a long way, Mariner. I find it inspiring.

Before Mariner could say anything else, they were interrupted by red alert.

Mariner: Ooh, I like red alerts, too. Come on, danger time.

They head straight to the bridge to get to their station.

Ransom: Captain, we dropped out of warp due to a navigational malfunction.

Freeman: Captain to Cetacean Ops. Lieutenant, what's your status?

 Lieutenant, what's your status?
