"Brace for impact!" M'Rerra called out as the green wall of death filled the viewscreen.

Her claws nearly tore into the lacquered wood surface of the arch behind the command chairs as the bridge shuddered violently from the impact. A sudden burning heat lit was thrust upon her back as one of the consoles behind her blew out, nearly singing her fur

"Damage report!" She heard a male voice call out from in front of her as she rose to her feet. Instinctively, her gaze remained fixed on her readouts. She had spent too much time and training as a tactical officer to lose focus now.

Awesome commission of my Fursona M'Rerra on the bridge of the starship Discovery as she searches for her elusive quarry on the ship's sensors. Despite the requirement of militia service all Caitians must go through in adolescense, most still regard combat and violence as a taboo. Despite the need to protect their society from those who would do it harm, a majority of Caitians are all too happy to be out of the militia once their service is up. Karalle M'Rerra is not one of them. She has always been fascinated by the art of combat, from the tactical wizardry that her idols such as Kathryn Janeway and Benjamin Sisko displayed during their Starfleet careers. More than that, she has long had a desire to set herself apart from the rest of her race and protect those she loves who can't protect themselves. That includes her captain, and mate, Mark Logan. Though he is proving himself a capable leader and gaining her respect day by day, part of her still sees him as the shy scientist she met at university on her homeworld all those years ago. As a result, she sometimes has doubts about how he will react when the chips are down and their lives are in danger. Here, however, she is in her element, and her resolve to protect both her mate and her fellow officers is at its very strongest.

Stay tuned for a continuation of the story above!
