Phoenix

A crew knows her captain. A crew vibrates to the exact frequency of her captain's thoughts. Anticipates his moods. Accommodates his needs.

Which is why Lorca knows this crew will discover his truth.

Suspicion builds by inches. A broken bone found by a medical scan. An order given too quick or too slow. Bloodthirstiness they cannot understand.

He feels no remorse when he kills the Buran. Its crew is not his. And they die in a crimson fireball, a glorious pyre greater than they deserve.

He rises from the flames. He begins to suspect he will always rise.
