The main action takes place on a minor ship, which interacts with new civilizations. The main goal of the ship is to find new contacts.

Plot

Starship “Cerritos” rushes through the vastness of space, and at this time hundreds of people are working on it. One of the lower deck employees is Brad Boimler, the ensign in charge of order. Sometimes he is called to the bridge, where the ship’s captain is most often. Brad is very proud of this and even takes a simple order to wipe spilled coffee with pride.

In secret, Boimler keeps a logbook. He will never become a captain, but he tries to adopt all the habits that he has. One day, the lower deck worker, Beckett Mariner, catches him at the next entry of all sorts of nonsense in his logbook. Beckett hates everyone who works on the upper deck. And few people know that the captain of the ship is her mother.

Their relationship is difficult. Mom is constantly trying to get her daughter off her ship. And one day she even resorts to the help of Boimler – now he must monitor Beckett and report all her violations. Instead of spying on a colleague, Brad decides to tell Mariner the whole truth.

Another ensign, Rutherford, has recently become somewhat cyborg. It is difficult for him to get used to his new image, because his mechanical part constantly prevents him from building relationships with girls. His first date turns out to be successful, although part of the cyborg tries to ruin everything. Rutherford spends a crazy evening in the company of a beauty with whom he intends to meet in the future.

Each member of the lower deck has their own opinion about those who are higher in rank. Rutherford is ready to just work for the good of the ship, Brad dreams of working on the bridge with ecstasy, and treats all commanders in awe. But Beckett does not respect anyone and considers her mother to be a terrible, boring captain, whom they do not deserve.

While each of them chooses a side, various things happen on the ship concerning them. Either the new civilization turns out to be not very friendly, then the unknown will sneak aboard the ship. The captain is not alone in deciding the fate of the “Cerritos”. It all starts from there – from the lower decks…
