Anyilize this idea I have for a story sequil: form it fomulate a possible outline: 6080AD some thirty years have passed since the rescue operation to find and rescue the Prince. Twelve inquiries and nearly a hundred court cases latter, It was found that there had been at the time serious failings as the DSRRS, had almost lead to the deaths of all aboard.
It was found that major structural and institutional change was required and that the entire management team be replaced. It was found that due to cultural and financial pressures for both internal and external sources that the DSRRS was too inflexible in the commencement of search operations for the Prince.
Today the DSRRS is a different organisation then it had been in 6050AD its culture is now one of operational flexibility and cooperation, rather than suspicion of outside help. 
Major systemic issues around field command authority now lies with DSRRS captains rather than top down insistence on the provision of every small detail in real-time, these changes where forced by the unions to be changed.
Stanner'tec Fright Lines cessed operations under that name in 6070AD it changed ownership and now operates larger than before under the name McConnell Fright Lines. In the interceding years Jade McConnell had many things she didn’t want forced upon her after the recovery of the Prince?
She had indeed done what she'd said she was going to do and move to that asteroid colony, but trouble at Stanner brought her back. Her former ship the star raptor was now captained by Jimmy the former systems specialist and yes the star raptor under his command had gone leaps and bounds from where she had been, and her equipment had been modernized over the years as Jimmy knew her former captain would have wanted.
McConnell found her former company was in melt down, and set about its reformation, the board at Stanner asked McConnell about what she wanted to do and after seeking advice presented a takeover plan to the Stanner Board of Directors that after some debate was accepted.
McConnell restructured Stanner and made it a better entity and set about making the changes she'd always wanted to make. From now on all ships in the fleet would be adopting regulation uniforms and haircuts and all Captains where retrained so that all ships, in McConnell Fright Lines would be following the regulations to the letter, no debate, no questions.
People thought that McConnell would maybe be behind on company standing orders they were wrong. McConnell still lived on Tam Stone Cylinder; Mary St Michel lived with McConnell since she was the only one who made McConnell feel at peace.
McConnell had updated her Vid-Com Unit a number of times at home, but the one that had served her so well during those dark days, trying to find out what had happened to the Prince was displayed in her living space under a glass cover. Despite decades of investigations and nearly thirty inquiries it was never determined what had caused the Prince to lose power and end up drifting in sector nine.
As for the Prince herself, she was decommissioned three years after her becoming lost and now rests in the Space History Museum in orbit around Titan.
Her captain never did go to space again the shock that she'd suffered out there never did pass, she now lives peacefully at Greenway Space Care and will stay there the rest of her life.
As to Jades sister by adoption Lux, she is hardly seen in the Village far to busy with work with other tribes helping them with relations between each other, Lux only goes home a few times a year, even then not for long, even when she becomes queen, she probably won't be in the village much too much to do. As for Mr Arms and his sitter Lux’s two octopuses they’ve continued to develop over the decades and both are published Poets of international renown.
Her natural sister Tilly she’s still on Hyades Station out in sector nine she walks with a limp now after an accident on the station. Miss Skittels furry pest of pussy cat she’s still sleeping in air locks and has for Miss Moxy, she organizes station logistics with a team of trusted humans.
McConnell hired an agent Lola Hampton Jones to speck to the press on her behalf Hampton Jones had it spelled out to her, mess up once and she would forfeit her life she and McConnell have never once had an issue. Despite being thirty years in the past there is still intense interest in the Prince Incident McConnell herself published a respected book on the subject wanted to settle down to a settled life of a business owner and take command of the star raptor once in a while.
the star raptor family was spread far and wide Tina to coms specialist had died some twelve years before in a skiing accident, Donna E'mer the hazard specialist was teaching at fleet school. Somewhere still there like sumaria the pilot who'd point blankly refused all offers to work on other ships.
Over at the DSRRS word had come in of a freighter in the same class as the star raptor being lost and there being no beacon and her transponder was out. The chief of the DSRRS was concerned about history repeating itself and reached out to McConnell for help. Arriving in New York McConnell still with her Alpha/ 1 Black clearance asked that she be provided with all information regarding the freighter Na'Chara
The DSRRS chief said it would take 48hrs to collate and would be provided and McConnell was told that full disclosure and cooperation would be given.
