She is especially worried as the Cerritos has been tasked with assisting Starfleet’s efforts to counter the mystery ship, which has gone from taking out alien ships to targeting former Starfleet officers. Back on the Cerritos, T’Lyn agrees Beckett’s behavior has grown “increasingly dangerous” and the lower deckers (sans Mariner) are called in for a conference by the Captain, who is also pissed that her daughter is being so reckless. She heroically avoids the eye-exploding poison attacks, fixes the fence, and makes it back inside, barely giving the scientists time to scream “We’re all going to die!” Unfortunately, she didn’t notice one lizard on her back, so now one of those scientists is going to need a new set of eyes. When one of the barriers goes down, the scientists panic-and Mariner is all “I got this” and out the door before Boimler can get his anti-venom pants on. Mariner, Boimler, and T’Lyn are on a mission to upgrade the energy barrier for a group of Federation outpost scientists on Persioff IX who study “tremble lizards,” adorable birdlike balls of deadly poison. WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW RECAP “Why is my daughter trying to get herself killed!?”
