Star Trek: The Ensign Sees Outcomes

Q put humanity on trial and the Continuum never quite closed the case. Something has been quietly grading one ensign ever since. The Envoy Charter lays an LCARS overlay across his vision: reads of intent, of a negotiation’s true shape, of the answer a room is three moves away from finding on its own. Every deep read spends Poise and leaves an afterquiet an empath in the room can feel. Ensign Yonas Farah is junior enough that being right is suspicious. Standing rises with every outcome the odds forbade, and Data, Troi and Guinan are all collecting the trail. The Charter’s hidden line does not measure exposure. It measures whether he steers people or widens their choices. Every for-their-own-good he has ever done is already on that line, and he is not allowed to see the number. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Star Trek: The Ensign Sees Outcomes — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
