Airen is in their room, sewing.

[Alex knocks on the door.]

Publicity photo from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, featuring Madge Sinclair as the captain of the U.S.S. Saratoga and Nick Ramus as the ship’s helmsman. The fact that the first black woman seen in command of a starship went both unnamed and uncredited in the final film is, sadly, unsurprising.

In the novelization of the movie by Vonda McIntyre, the captain was given the last name of Alexander while the Efrosian helmsman, sadly, went unnamed. Ramus’s makeup, however, lived on as the forehead, nose, and hair of the Federation President in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. 

And just for giggles, here’s the original photo before I cropped and zapped all the dust and speckles:

Captain Margaret Alexander: Captain, U.S.S. Saratoga. While on patrol in the Neutral Zone in 2286 they encountered an alien probe on its way to Earth. Scans revealed little information and the energy output of the probe was draining their power. They reported what they could to Starfleet but it was too late to pull back from the Probe range. They remained adrift until the probe’s return journey (presumably) restored power.

Appeared in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. The last name is derived from the script and is not spoken on screen. The novels established her name as Margaret (a nod to the actress) and would later rise to Starfleet CinC during the Tomed Incident(by then as Margaret Sinclair-Alexander).

Airen grabs Noah's hand, "Hey-"

[He jumps.] Hello-

[the-other-mrstitanic]

Neither Noah or Alex can find Mist. She has been gone for an hour and was a little tired when she left.

[They are both very worried. Alex has been teleporting around, looking for her. Noah has even stopped working to look, too.]

✞ Alex? Omo

"✞ Do you believe in revenge? Exacting it on others? Others coming for you?"

Absolutely. If you've hurt me or someone I care about I'm prepared to make you hurt just as bad or worse, and I generally assume others will do the same. However sometimes things work themselves out and I don't need to do anything to exact revenge. If the person who wronged me is dead, I'm not going to hurt the person's family or loved ones for their actions if they weren't directly involved.

Mist is walking around looking around the castle.

[Oh hey look it's Alex! He looks pretty tired.]
