    Summary

    “The Commander is born-and-raised Starfleet," Cornwell said sadly. "And she’s already demonstrated she knew the risks she’d pose if we kept her alive. The Federation’s best chance at saving face through this mess is for Airiam to agree with them.”

    Beside her, Saru stiffened, and Michael saw his skin visibly pale.

    “Michael,” the Captain respired, shaking his head, distressed. “We’re going to have to contend with Airiam’s sense of honor. That will be no easy task.”

    -----

    In the wake of their return from the Alpha Reality, Michael's and the Discovery crew's loyalty to Airiam is put to the test when a Federation inquisition questions her place among them, pitting her right to exist--as well as the others impacted by Control--against the security of the cosmos.

    Some parts may be NSFW.

    Sequel to "Breaking Free."
