Episode 01  Ever the Twain (click on title to read Fred Dixon's review)

writer: Tim Vining

As the Aurora transports materials from one space station to another, Captain Kara relives the events which led up to her current position in life while learning to relate to her only crewmember, the Vulcan T'Ling.

Quality Rating: 88% (INCOMPLETE)
This is an excellent beginning for a new series. The characters and situations were well developed, and the story itself is an interesting one. One can only hope that the next two parts will be as well written.
