Characters Present:

• LtJG Eirly Andersen
• Lt. Commander Nash Winters
• Sara Winters
• Alexandra “Alex” Winters
• Brunel
• Dominique

Following the captain’s promotion ceremony, Eirly sets out to impress Nash Winters and his family with freshly baked goods. Rising at 0300 hours, she collects ingredients from the ship’s hydroponics farm, coordinates use of the Sugarplum Café kitchen, and prepares a variety of pastries, danishes, breads, and croissants.

Later in the day, she delivers the baked goods to Nash’s family quarters, where Brunel and Alex are immediately drawn to the treats. Eirly proudly explains her process and invites the children to sample her creations. The scene begins warmly, highlighting character interactions, camaraderie, and cultural exchange.

However, the visit takes a sudden turn when Brunel collapses after eating a pastry, convulsing on the floor. Nash immediately initiates a transport to Sickbay for a medical emergency, which includes Eirly and others in close proximity. Sara and Alex follow on foot. The incident introduces urgent medical drama and raises concerns about the Ataran child’s health, creating a sharp tonal shift from hospitality to crisis.
