Accompanying song: A Million Dreams - Acoustic Cover by Isabella Macías (I found this on Spotify if anyone's struggling to find it, I thought it matched my idea of Auri's voice)
Premise: The Squad is hanging in the control room as usual, when Zila plays over the loudspeakers a song she found on her uniglass. It's a piano playing what Auri immediately recognizes as "A Million Dreams" from back in her day. She and her sister used to sing it together all the time, especially in the leadup to the Octavia mission when it had particular meaning for Auri.
The others are not sure what this song is, but after some encouragement from Kal and Scarlett, Auri looks up the lyrics on Magellan and Zila rewinds the song to start from the beginning. It is then sung exactly how it sounds, with Auri really giving it her all towards the end. Literally anytime there's a crescendo in this song, it's when Auri has looked up and seen Kal like beaming at her.
At your discretion, please include any of your favorite ships beginning to dance in the background (I could see Scarlett pulling a hesitant Finian onto his feet for this ;)
