The outside was more vibrant than usual. The sky was crystal clear it was as if it was covered by a baby blue blanket. The trees seemed to dance with the light summer breeze. Katrina stared out her window knowing that there was a possibility she may never see the trees dance again or see the sky dressed in such a beautiful blue; but her thoughts were soon interrupted, by her Aunt Phoebe practically screaming upstairs.

"Katy are you ready you need to be at the Federation headquarters in twenty minutes". She looked at herself in the mirror one last time ; her hair was perfectly placed in her signature ponytail and her uniform met Starfleet regulations. Katrina adjusted her Captains pins one last time before dashing to the car.
Once she sat down Phoebe shook her head in disapproval. This didn't not go unnoticed by Katrina " what did I do now?" Phoebe began to drive " you're a Starfleet Captain you can't be late" She rolled her eyes " I won't be late besides like you said I'm the captain therefore they can't leave without me. Couldn't we have just done site to site transport ?"

"No" phoebe stated matter of factly " you have way to much luggage driving will be more efficient." Katrina couldn't help smiling at her aunt's last statement " you just sounded like Aunt Seven." Phoebe smiled back " you may see her before you leave" then her smile turned into a sad smile " I'm really sorry your parents couldn't be here Katy but I know for fact that they are beyond proud of you." Katrina shrugged nonchalantly " I know I understand that they are working and that means making sacrifices even if they aren't in our favor but i'm sure when I become a mom someday I will be in the same position." Phoebe parked and looked at Katrina one last time : "
How did your parents get so lucky you're beautiful, kind, and smart beyond words i'm so proud of you and I love you so much." She wiped a couple tears " be safe up there Captain" Katrina retrieved her belongings and hugged her aunt hard and long " I love you too"

Katrina made her way to the loading bay and was in shock at what she saw before her. The ship was the largest she has ever seen It was in the Invincible-class, however she was still amazed. She then saw the name U.S.S Legacy, and mumbled to herself " it certainly lives up to its name."
"I know right !" Katrina shrieked in surprise. The girl next to her tried to hold in her laughter " Oh i'm so sorry ! are you alright I didn't mean to frighten you". Katrina smiled kindly " It's alright I suppose i'm just a bit jumpy with nerves." The girl laughed " Im Charlotte its nice to meet you" Katrina sighed with relief " I'm Katrina and likewise." These were one of the many moments that she was grateful she looked more like her dad then her mom.
She had his olive-complexion, and dark brown eyes however, her hair wasn't quite as dark as her fathers nor as light as her mother's. She hated to be in the spotlight because of her mother's fame. Katrina knew once she introduced herself to the crew all bets were off. Despite that she still wanted to enjoy her anonymity for a bit longer.
"I suppose we better get to our posts I wouldn't want to get on bad terms with the captain." Katrina smirked " I wouldn't worry too much about that"

Once they were aboard Katrina made her way to her quarters which had the state of the art tempurpedic bed, a replicator, a sonic shower, a jacuzzi, a dining room and a living room. This felt so surreal. Luckily her quarters were connected to her ready room so she didn't have to worry about confronting her crew just yet. The moment she sat down at her desk a beep went off signaling her that someone wished to speak to her.

" Well that's strange" she thought to herself. " come in". The figure gracefully yet sternly entered. Katrina couldn't believe her eyes

" Mom ! what are you doing here I thought you were on a mission"
Kathryn Janeway smiled " I was but now I was assigned to a new mission"

" which is.." Katrina asked

" They wanted the Admiral on this mission since we are exploring uncharted territory but also because of the size of this ship and its crew."
Katrina was a bit disappointed because she wanted to form her own identity as a superior officer but she was very excited to see her mom "how's dad ?"
Kathryn sat down "well I wanted to talk to you about that. I'm not the only superior officer accompanying you on this mission they wanted superiors in every post since this is a majority of the crews first mission. Your father is in charge of security, Uncle Tom is head of piloting and navigation, Aunt B'Elanna is head of engineering, Uncle Harry is head of Science, Aunt Seven is in charge of astronomics and Samantha Wildlman is head of Sickbay along with the EMH."

Katrina didn't know what to say "will I still be in charge ?"

Kathryn laughed "of course ! You will even pick your senior officers. We're here to assist and guide you but ultimately the responsibility is yours my dear" If Kathryn didn't feel the pressure already she definitely did now.

"I suppose I should get to the bridge and introduce myself...wish me luck"
Kathryn smiled "welcome aboard Legacy or should I say welcome to your Legacy"
