So glad y'all reported for duty, new arrivals! September was Lower Decks month to celebrate this fresh new take on Star Trek, and boy did we get a look in the not-so-great lives of the ordinary folk manning the ordinary ships and stations of the Federation! Let's get this bat'leth swinging, shall we?
@ashefivekay gives us two very annoyed cadets, plotting their revenge on a snitch:

Yours truly, BorgMan, gives you the runaway shuttle piloted by a sleeping Andorian ensign, who probably has some 'splaining to do once he returns...
@Cyfa shows us that even on Earth's first Warp 5 ship, there were still newbies around to try and keep it running:
Then we have @Soran77 to remind us that, in what is probably a great way of dealing with trouble-making-cadets, deep-space relay stations still need to be manned as well:
And last but not least, we've got @Starscape taking us to the KDF to prove that, yes, they too need someone to clean the gagh and blood wine after a good victory:
