In the season finale of Lower Decks, the Cerritos is headed to the Laaperian system to assist the USS Archimedes in a first contact mission. Things go awry when a solar flare causes an unstable planetoid to blow and completely knocks out power on the Archimedes. The Cerritos must devise a miraculous plan to save them, all hands on deck!
But, also, just before the mission started Mariner overheard that Capt. Freeman is getting a promotion to a better ship and going to have to leave the crew of the Cerritos behind.
Everyone is upset. But SURELY this will end well. It's Star Trek, ain't it?!
