It's strange energy indeed, as we return to life aboard the Cerritos with Ensign Mariner and her mother Captain Freeman. Things are going great – and they both secretly hate it! You would think they could talk about it, but it seems like they can't. It takes Ransom heading down to a planet and getting blasted with "strange energies" and become a young, narcissistic godling for them to admit it to each other.
Also, Tendi thinks Rutherford's cybernetic implants are malfunctioning and will stop at nothing to fix him! A new season of hijinks and shenanigans is in the offing. Huzzah!
