This Family
Early in her Starfleet career, one of Janeway’s Academy professors had used half his lecture to explain why the captain of a starship had to remain separate from their crew. At the time, she agreed with him, with the idea that a captain had to be more superior than friend.
But here in the Delta Quadrant, her crew were not just subordinates, not just friends, but family, and that was something she had not prepared for.
Was it influencing her judgment, as her professor had warned?
Yes, she decided. But this crew, this family was more than worth the risk.
THE END
