The shakedown cruise has begun at long last. The first few tests went well. The ship can maneuver on impulse power and warp speed. It can go short distances at low warp speed safely. So what happened when they decided to try a low warp trip that might take a few hours? They are whizzing off into space past stars when it should have only been planets. The helmsman from the yard said one thing and the Starfleet Navigator said another - the XO agreed with the Starfleet Navigator. Just exactly what happened is still a mystery. All they know at the moment is they are going the wrong direction and they are going MUCH faster than warp one. First things first - when something is going wrong, you remove the cause of the problem. Done - at least our Heroine thinks that's done. Did she correctly identify the source of the problem? Will she and the crew be able to figure out what's happening? Will they be able to do anything about it? If not, where will they end up? When they get there, will it be friendly territory or hostile? Will the ship survive for however long at ludicrous speed? Most important of all, will she lose the confidence of the crew?
