Tony in Temporary Command
Intro
There are at least a few situations where
Tony Verdeschi, the first officer in
Y2, is in
temporary command.
|
Examples
- "The Metamorph" (342
DAB):
John is on a mission to
Psychon.
In dire straits^, John sends a coded signal,
Directive Four, compelling Tony to attempt
to destroy Psychon, which does carry out
(though it is eventually foiled by
Mentor).
Tony makes the attempt knowing Alpha must be in
great danger for John to issue the order --
and despite the protests of
Sandra and
Annette.
Sandra seems to be his second.
- "Journey to Where":
given temporary command by John.
- COTM (1196 DAB):
Tony is formally given temporary command,
as John is searching (in
Eagle 1),
for the source of extreme heat hitting Alpha.
- MOA: while
John is on an exploratory mission.
- "The Beta Cloud" (1503 DAB): When John is taken ill.
Whether there was a formal handover is not clear,
but Tony is, at minimum,
in de facto command through most of episode.
- "Bringers of Wonder" (1915+ DAB):
Tony is in command about 70% of the 2-episode story),
when John becomes delusional and when
he is still under suspicion of being delusional.
Later, John convinces Maya and then Helena that Alpha is in danger.
Tony is still in command until the alien masquerade is revealed
to most of the rest of the Alphans,
and John steps back into general authority again.
- "Dorzak":
John is away on an exploratory mission.
Tony deals with the arrival of a
Croton ship,
an assault against his girlfriend
Maya
by ship captain(?)
Sahala,
and the presence of another
Psychon
on board the Croton ship.
Maya wants to see the other Psychon,
Dorzak.
Tony agrees, after some hesitation,
but it turns out Dorzak is dangerous,
and Tony comes to realize that,
and deals with the threat.
