Stardate 57663.9: As the Cerritos engages in aggressive negotiations with Drookmani scavengers over the wreckage of lost century-old Starfleet ship, Ensign Fletcher is endearing himself to Boimler and Mariner. Tendi admits to Rutherford that she never completed spacewalk training at the Academy, and he offers her the use of a holodeck training program he’s been working on, which uses an animated interface called Badgey. When the program sticks and Rutherford gives Badgey a swift kick, Badgey’s attitude becomes less “chirpy” and “helpful” and leans a lot more toward “homicidal”. Fletcher offers to take on a major task solo so Boimler and Mariner can attend a social event, but when they come back to check on him, the task isn’t finished, and Fletcher’s explanations for this seem to be constantly in flux. Worse yet, the work he didn’t complete endangers the Cerritos and the entire crew when the Drookmani become even more aggressive in their negotiating tactics, while Captain Freeman tries valiantly not to start a shooting war.
