- Exploring
Having listened to the logs relating to what happened at Tanarexa IV,
Nina pondered what had happened there. Something, or someone, was
responsible for that anomaly. It was no wonder that the holograms
hadn't figured out how to return the Baffin to it's home
reality. 'Of course, that was just the start of their journey,' she
thought. After all, she wasn't sure herself, whether she could
re-trace her steps back to Gallifrey, if she wanted to.
Of course, she also needed to look at the sensor data of the anomaly,
and of that planet. That would tell her more than just the logs. She
searched for the data, and the index of the data scanned on that date
came up.

Anomaly
'The planet first,' she thought. She selected that data.
There was no real pattern to the displaced regions on the planet. But
then the ship had only scanned 7% of the surface, before they were
interrupted. 'I'll look at the scan on the other side, if they did
so.'
Her stomach rumbled, and she glanced at the time. She had been at it
for nearly an hour, and she had forgotten breakfast. She decided she
would get breakfast before researching further.
“I'm just getting breakfast,” she told Alpha, who seemed quite
interested in whatever it was she was reading on one of those PADDs.
“Oh,” Alpha said, putting the PADD down. “You don't need to
tell me. We can be an informal crew. There is only the two of us
here.”
Nina nodded as she exited the Bridge.
Alpha watched as Nina left the Bridge. It was true that the situation
was informal. She was primarily programmed to be an engineer after
all, not a commander. She reflected on the time she had been active.
It also seemed she was growing beyond her original programming. 'Much
like the Doctor on Voyager,' she considered. She shrugged and
turned her attention back to the file on Klingon history.
Of course, there was more to do than re-tracing the Baffin's
journey from the first displacement to the crash, Nina considered as
she entered the Mess Hall. She also wanted to explore the planet, and
learn about the cultures thereupon. (Of course, she considered she
could just take the TARDIS and do that and return to the ship, but
she didn't want to do it by herself.) She decided to propose it to
Alpha later in the day.
“No.”
