Ro, I...I do see you. Everything. Forgive me. It's only now.

I wish we saw Seven work as a First Officer under Riker.

I think they work well as a Command team, their styles aren't all that different. As Picard noted in Best of Both Worlds when Shelby arrived, he was also brash and a risk-taker.

It's why Riker knows how to talk to both Shelby and now, Seven.

Seven would be good at pushing Riker from being too cautious. And Riker could get her on board things without setting off a minefield. Unfortunately, Starfleet Command wanted Seven to undergo her own Shakedown cruise to check if she can be herself in the confines of Starfleet.

I love Seven's expression when she learned Riker wasn't dismissing her concerns but listening to her and actually sharing a plan.

And operating in 'an unofficial capacity' is Seven's default and a role she's comfortable with since this was Seven's role in Voyager: a free-floating troubleshooter. This is her wheelhouse.

Look at how pleased Seven is, that she can be useful and use her skills, and that Riker speaks her language. Because he does.

Commander Seven on the bridge ♥️xx
