USS Ascension

To Be Divine

When Ascension transports a young priestess between outposts, they discover holiness is just a point of view. But is it one worth dying for?

Mission Description

Ascension finds itself torn between what is right and what is good when they are assigned to escort a young priestess between two colonies. Their responsibility, to keep her safe from those who would do her harm.

But the Most Revered Divine, Grace of the Fifth age, Voice of the Yomaji, Keeper of the True Light, brings with her a sizeable entourage and an even bigger crowd and not everyone bears the young holy woman good will.

Caught between their duty to the Yomaji and their duty to themselves, Ascension will learn what it is to be divine.

“I really hope you’re just being overzealous,” Atil’ika announced to the bridge as she strode out of the forward turbolift. “I don’t think I’ve ever wanted something more.” “I do not believe I am ever overzealous,” Kosh muttered from the central seat as he calmly stood to meet [...]
