The navigator links directly into Avalon and rides the boundary between a collapsing warp bubble and gravity shear that could tear the carrier apart. The chief engineer and six colleagues simultaneously manage stabilizers and mass manipulators to give her enough control to complete the approach. The acting captain has ordered the maneuver and accepted its consequences, but he cannot perform any of the technical work himself. The captain coordinates and decides, while the specialists make the maneuver possible. The ship emerges beside the surviving battleship only because those separate forms of expertise work together.
