After the events of the previous adventure it was time for the Challenger to continue working its way home. It was only a couple of months away from home, and as an academy ship was required to return to Sol frequently to exchange crew.
Rear Admiral Jensen had been very clear with the captain there was to be no detours, Challenger was to come straight home. It had a science mission waiting for it with the new class of cadets. No more running crates around or plants or rescue missions. There was Science to be done!
Under these conditions there was an understandable level of stress to make sure the trip was as uneventful as possible. If only that could be assured.
As Commander Holmman began to wake up, he felt the warm water of the hot tub on his skin first, the jets causing it to splash against his skin, waking him from his slumber. The next thing he noticed was the raging headache. After that he probably noticed was the strong smell of rose petals and the body of a dead ensign floating face down in the hot tub next to him. A lot to digest in short order while still groggy and disoriented.
In the end it didn’t matter. The XO of a Star Fleet Academy ship was hung over and naked in a hot tub with a dead ensign.
