After viewing the season trailer and the sneak peek, I became worried about Ortegas as well. Fingers crossed she doesn’t have anything happen to her, there is still a lot to develop for her.
We see Ortegas flying a shuttle in a combat style landing in the main trailer, perhaps she has a reason to stay with the shuttle (or prep it) even once Pike is in the big chair in his combat gear.
We were promised ‘MOrtegas’ in the messaging leading up to this season. Perhaps they didn’t want to reveal what’s coming for her.
