When Commander Jack Ransom promised Boimler command of the away team on Laapoonia in the event that both he and Sun-Sanchez—his Number One—were taken out of commission, he didn't think it'd, like, actually happen. But now, Boimler is in charge, and things have gone full-blown Crisis Royale: A planet's missing population, a big-ass alien warship, and a team at each other's throats threaten to explosively end the Cerritos' second-contact mission with Laapeeria. The name's Boimler. Brad Boimler. And he's got a license to…mildly delegate while panicking under pressure.
