Temporary Command of Alpha
Intro
There are various people Who have temporary command of the
Moonbase, due to
Commander Koenig
(and perhaps other
officers)
being away on a mission,
incapactitated, or otherwise unavailable.
This does not refer to an officer being
on watch in
MM/CC,
where the commander or other superior officer is still available.

Who
- Tony Verdeschi
(First Officer in Y2).
See Tony in Temporary Command.
- Helena Russell (Chief Medical Officer) in
at least the following:
"Rules of Luton",
"The AB Chrysalis",
"Immunity Syndrome"
- Alan Carter (Captain, Chief Pilot).
See Alan in Temporary Command.
- Winters: while John, Victor, and Helena on board Gwent
("The Infernal Machine"),
and Paul is incapacitated due to injury.
- David Kano:
explicitly left in command in while
John, Paul, Alan, Helena, Victor, and Lowry(?) leave to
render aid to the Daria
("Mission of the Darians").
His second in that situation is apparently
Sandra.
- Victor? (check "The Full Circle")
- Paul?
Comments
- Why Winters? That was the only episode he was seen in.
Paul is out with an injury (the actor,
Prentis Hancock,
was unavailable due to minor operation).
There were other instances of curious command
or lead assignments in Y1,
so perhaps a form of cross-training?
Still, why not David Kano in temporary command?
(Kano is later in the season, in MOTD.)
