August 21st stardate 2394

A physically twenty nine year old, real age five hundred fifty seven, Twilight let out a deep sigh as she relaxed in Csia's embrace. They had just come from a meeting with Utopia Planitia ship yards on Mars. They were both scouted, and Twilight had managed to negotiate to allow them to work together and to start drafting her ship design and the promise of ownership and captaining of the first in the class.

"so we're going to be working together on the ship, have you worked out the kinks yet?" Csia asked looking down at the girl in her arms.

Twilight stroked Csia's left arm with her left hand, "unfortunately, no. It's still eluding me. The conductors aren't reacting to the magic. We've tried every magically conductive material I can think of!" Twilight ranted and throwing her hands up.

"Perhaps it's because you're using replicators to reproduce them?"

"Sigh, I suppose that might be the case kind of like how synthahole is a blasphemous concoction."

Csia smiled, "you're still on that?"

"I won't ever drop it! As soon as we get our ship the first thing I'm doing is rigging our replicators to produce real alcohol."

Csia stroked Twilight's head causing her to lean into Csia's hand.

"What about the spell? How's that coming?"

"It's more or less ready for the next jump, we just need the ship to boost it so we can take it with us."

"That's good to hear." Csia responded, Twilight made a few adjustments to the materials for the conductors and sent off the update to the ship builders. The ship structure itself was already underway, as the design itself was reminiscent of the vesta multi-mission explorer but much longer, taller and wider on the beam due to the setbacks in production that slowed the building of the remaining vesta ships they would just refit and upgrade the NCC-87519 currently being built at McKinley Station. It wouldn't require much more work to expand everything and add even more experimental tech.

"In the meantime Csia, we have our first ship training cruise duty aboard Captain Masc Taggart's ship."

Four months pass with nothing eventful happening. Twilight was sitting with Csia as they ate breakfast. Suddenly a comm call filled the room.

"Cadet Troi, Cadet Sh'ala report to my ready room," Captain Taggart's voice called over the Comms. Looking at each other and then shrugging before they hurriedly tidied up and made themselves presentable.

Upon entering, the commanding officers stood under a banner and popped party poppers and cheered, "surprise!" On the banner said congratulations.

"Cadets Troi and Sh'ala present and accounted for!" Twilight announced before smirking, "apologies Captain as someone ready for war and surprises in general I won't be surprised,"

That caused Captain Taggart to grumble," you're finished with your first training cruise and your new ship is ready for its first engine shake down. So Star fleet command has transferred you two to the new NX-87519 Magic class Starship Harmony."

"Aye! Aye! Sir!" Twilight and Csia responded,

"Twilight, Csia you're both elevated to lieutenant commander, effective immediately. You have leave to prepare to transfer to the ship."

"Yes sir!"

"Good you're dismissed, and once again congratulations."

The two of them salute, and leave to pack and within eight hours the two were on the shuttle to Utopia Planitia Shipyards.

Upon arrival they beamed aboard

"Welcome aboard Mothe..err I mean Captain Troi!?" An Japanese looking gynoid with a short bob hair cut colored in a pastel rainbow, blushed while saluting, "I am Harmony. Once you're settled we can start shake down, that is if you want to."

Twilight smirked, "calm down Harmony. I don't bite we'll begin shakedown procedures as soon as we're settled."

Twilight and Csia began to move to the captain's quarters. Harmony hurriedly followed after.

" A...a..all of my systems are ready. I.. I won't let you down!" Harmony responded with a fluster,

Another Harmony android ahead held out comm badges, on a platter. Alongside their new rank pips. Twilight and Csia put on the pips and the comm badge.

They entered their new quarters, the carpet and couch were peach pink in color. The couch sat in front of the wide window wall with a view of the dry dock and space. The rest of the room were composed of two or more areas, featuring separate bed and bathroom and a dedicated work and living area.

After storing their possessions, they both made their way to the bridge. Excited to get started and put her through her paces.

As they entered the bridge Harmony called "Captain on bridge!" And all versions of her saluted. Twilight and Csia saluted back.

Twilight took the captain's chair and Csia the second in command seat.

"Alright Harmony hail dry dock." Twilight Ordered.

"Channel open!" Harmony responded.

"Dry dock command, this is Captain Troi of the federation Magic class starship Harmony NX-87519, requesting launch permission."

"Permission granted Captain Troi safe travels tell us if there are any issues with her systems."

"Will do, Captain Troi out"

"Take us out on quarter impulse, slow and steady."

The Harmony slowly started inching out of the dry dock as it slowly freed itself from its fetters.

Twilight smiled while Csia bounced around the bridge excitedly. Once Harmony was freed of the dry dock, "clear the dry docks, maximum impulse,"

"There's a communication from your mother Ambassador Troi,"

Twilight groaned, "okay, put her through on screen."

The screen shifted to Lwaxana's face which immediately bloomed into a large smile, "Oh! My dear Twilight, you look positively dashing in that Captain's chair, you too Csia dear. Is she treating you right?"

Twilight groaned, while Csia smirked," she's been treating me perfectly." Csia added.

"Mother, is there a reason you called?"

"Oh right yes, wear your best formal clothing my dear. We were all invited to the two hundredth and fifty fifth anniversary of the rebuilding of the P'jem monastary on Vulcan. Admiral Brand has made that your first mission, represent the federation and house of Troi. Taa taa for now!"
Lwaxana's face disappeared and Twilight slumped in her seat.

"I swear she is getting far too close to Brand for it to be appropriate or for the health of my career."

Csia giggled, " Harmony set course for P'jem warp 9!"

"Captain, several Romulan ship's are on an course toward P'Jem!" Harmony reported urgently.

"Red alert battle stations all weapons fire at will the moment any Romulan attacks."

"New info Captain, Romulan ship's are increasing, we could be facing a whole fleet!" Harmony cried.

"Csia, we are preparing for our escape using the world hop, just in case!" Twilight said

Csia nodded with a grimace.
