    Summary

    Luck and likeability are both valuable traits in a superior officer. A likeable superior is easy to follow; a lucky one won’t get you killed.

    “And, uh... Tristan, if you want to... ‘visit a friend’ too, that’s fine? I’m not your boss.”

    More important, however, is the ability to take charge and make hard decisions.

    “I wouldn’t be so quick to denounce your authority, Commander. If you do, Arbiter Rao may feel he has a responsibility to no longer tolerate the continued presence of traitors and malefactors on this vessel- and I would prefer to avoid removing a familiar variable from the Equation unless absolutely necessary.”

    Unfortunately for Commander Lane Perry, a surplus of the former is not an adequate substitute for an absence of the latter.
