Last time in the continuing saga of Laapoonia! Cerritos was docked for repairs, the away team shuttle blew up, Freeman and crew stole the Illinois and mariner stole a shuttle and made her way to the unknown ship.
And now the saga of Laapoonia is far from over.
Turns out Mariner stealing a shuttle was all part of the plan to get Mariner on the ship to find and rescue the missing and presumed dead away team. Mariner does what Mariner does, rescuing kidnapped Laaperians and Laapoonians, but finding no away team she and her rescued group storm the bridge only to find out that... something is revealed in next month's issue.
Meanwhile on the Illinois, Freeman and crew calmly wait for Mariner's signal, and once that happens they go on the attack and are about to beam over a security team when they suddenly hit an invisible force in space that makes a complete left turn into spoilers I’m not revealing.
This has been a pretty fun story so far. It still carries that lighter tone the issues have, and the story keeps moving and doesn’t stop to make sure the reader REMEMBERS LEGACY TREK SOMEHOW. It’s like someone is attempting to tell a continued in universe story.
Speaking of, remember the last episodes of Star Trek: Prodigy season one where a hidden AI bomb on the protostar became active and started infecting starships at close range and a lot of those ships destroyed each other? Well apparently one of those was the Enterprise E under the command of Captain Worf.
Just throwing that out there.
The saga of Laapoonia will be over probably next month! 8/10
