Exceeding Expectations

As a newly commissioned ensign in the Allied SpaceForce, Sandy lucked out in her assignment on the S/S Discovery. It was the premier ship in the fleet, the most sought-after posting, and one she deserved after graduating at the top of her class. Sandy was well on her way to fulfilling her dream of becoming a ship captain, just like her mom, the infamous Captain Jill. 

Unfortunately, only weeks into her first assignment at Sandy’s performance review, she is disheartened to discover that she only Meets Expectations. Knowing that a lackluster rating will never get her that coveted position on the ship’s bridge, Sandy dwells on her poor performance and ends up making more mistakes. This brings her to the attention of the ship’s obsessive-compulsive, perfectionist commander, a man who just happens to be Sandy’s ex-boyfriend, Amyr.
