"Rock and a hard place"

Episode 9: "Take it on the Run"

Previously on the USS Scorpius:

As we left our crew last time, the XO was at the rear of the assembled crowd, and the CTO at the front of the crowd being addressed by the Captain.

Both could hear the faint whine of a charging phaser rifle...
