The Next day.
They didn't have to wait long to find out, The trail was held the next day in the early afternoon and after much debate by the broad of inquiry. Their final verdict was giving to Captain Lucero by Admiral Terral, Sarah and rob waited in bated breath as he gave it out. "for counts of negligence, The death of crewmen and loss of federation Starship, we find Captain Lynne Lucero....Not Guilty." Everyone let out a gasp including Lucero, Admiral Patar rose from her chair.
"Captain Lucero, We have decided to give you a second chance and give you command of another ship but don't think you being...let off the hook." She warn, Admiral Shukar also got up beside her. "This is merely a test of your ability as a captain,
"Indeed, If another such incident were to occurred under your command then you days in starfleet will be over." The tall Andorian warned, The young captain just nodded as it was alot to take in. "The Court is adjourn, You are dismiss."
Once outside the room, Sarah and Rob congratulate their captain but Lucero didn't share their happiness. "Hey, You should be thrill." Rob told, Bright smile on her face. "Your still in starfleet and you still a captain, It win win."
"I don't feel it, I'm not ready to be a captain." She confess, look at the floor as they walk down the corridor. "What if I mess up again, Let down everyone." They stop just short of the main doors, Starfleet personnels had to move around them to get pass.
"Don't think like that, You won't." Sarah assured, placing her hand on the captain shoulder. "We'll be right beside you, You can count on us."
Rob nodded in agreement, Sharing the trill smile. "Yeah, We got your back." Lucero felt a bit better, Maybe she could do it. "I wonder What ship they'll give, Maybe another Megee class or maybe one of those new Crossfield's?"
"I doubt they give us one of those, Starfleet only give those to the best." Sarah retorted, Starfleet put alot in their new Crossfield class and were reserve to certain classified projects. They made it outside, The sun was out and nice cool summer breeze was in the air. "Come on, Let celebrate at the 601."
"Sure, Why not." Lucero finally cracked a smile, Following her friends and co-workers out of starfleet headquarter. Whatever the next few days had instore for her, She knew she wasn't going to face alone.
