The holodeck "bridge" was mostly silent other than the sparse, rhythmic pings from the subspace sensors. T'Pari sits at the Helm console, watching her readings and trying desperately to remember everything she learned about piloting. It wasn't much.
She had warp control more or less under control. She was most concerned about taking the ship out of dock at the space station. And that is what she had been simulating, several times, for the last hour. So far, there have been no problems, but she just wanted to make sure...

The USS Falconer glided through space, approaching a small nebula-like cloud of glowing magenta gasses.
Captain Anders stood and approached the viewscreen to get a better look. “Slow us down, Ensign.”
“Yes, sir,” the ensign at the helm replied, and the Nova-class Falconer slowed nearly to a stop.
The Andorian at the captain’s side stepped up to meet him. “It does physically resemble a nebula, despite its small size,” he admitted. “But the energy readings are like nothing we’ve ever encountered before.”
The captain nodded. “Perhaps we should have Lieutenant Commander Aldin join us?”
The Andorian shared a brief smile with the other Andorian on the bridge, who was sitting at the communications station. “I think she would like a closer look, yes,” the commander agreed.
At the comm. station, Lieutenant Ivos turns back to his controls. “Bridge to Commander Aldin,” he said. “Captain Anders requests your presence.”
Ivos let himself share a quick grin to the first officer before turning back to his duties, and Commander Kor returned it. The smile would be all they would allow themselves right now: they both knew that they had to maintain their most professional demeanor at all times, even during such a casual exploration. Starfleet allowed married Andorian quads to serve together, provided they did not allow their personal feelings to interfere with their duties. A quick smile was all they could afford. Kor and Ivos both knew, however, just how much Aldin would enjoy examining something new like this.
( Unfortunately, she would never get the chance. )
