Saucy.
And very John Eaves

Saucy.
Which in truth I'd probably do the same.
I just had a random thought: I wonder if the ship is actually the U.S.S. Verity, Admiral Picard's command during the Romulan rescue mission. In the novels and comics, it's a Odyssey-class (Enterprise-F from Star Trek Online) ship, but in live-action they could make it anything.
My current guess is La Sirena (and crew!) are all about to go down in a blaze of glory when in swoops a new Stargazer or redesigned Enterprise-E captained by some familiar face. Rios' ship is lost, but the third (and potentially final) season has its hero ship.
I wonder if Stargazer was modernized and put back into service after The Battle (maybe during the Dominion War) but is now surplus, allowing Picard to get her for Rios as a replacement for La Sirena?
