Chapter Text
Evelyn stared at her tablet.
Then rubbed her eyes.
Then stared again.
She couldn't believe what she was seeing on her screen. She knew that it was technically only sidelined from Starfleet, but she never expected to be let back on to a starship.
Especially not as Chief Science Officer and 3rd in Command of the USS Voyager. It was a short mission, and the incident had been cleared up around a month ago. So, it did make some amount of sense.
But she was still surprised.
"Lilly! I have something to tell you!" Evelyn yelled, rather excited.
Just then, Lilly poked her head through the door, looking rather confused. "Funny that, because I need to talk to you about something," she replied, looking slightly upset.
"You go first." They said at the same time.
"No, you should. You look rather upset, and I don't want you to let it fester." Evelyn said, looking slightly concerned.
"Ok." Lilly took a deep breath. "I.... Got a role on the USS Voyager." She looked at Eve, seeing how she would react, scared that something bad would come out of the news.
Evelyn's jaw dropped. "No way. That's what I was going to tell you. Starfleet finally let me back in, and I got assigned to work on the USS Voyager."
She ran to hug her girlfriend, really excited that they would be on a mission together.
"Let's go pack!" Evelyn starts running off to gather her clothes. "Oh, but before I forget, what position did you get? I know you were focused on medicine in the academy."
"I got a nurse position in sickbay." Came the reply. "What about you?"
"I got Chief Science Officer." Evelyn said.
"That's awesome!" Lillian smiled.
They both headed off to go pack.
