She lost her ship to the Tribbles. She didn't know how to handle Edward.
Her Emotional Intelligence is below zero.
She is rude, abrasive, cynical toward him and provokes him into the revenge mode.
And even after that DNA manipulation incident her incompetence has allowed Tribbles to overrun the ship.
She had different approaches to the problem
- she could eject all Tribbles into space
- she could transport every single Tribble
- she could use wide range phaser beam
- she could poison the Tribbles
But no, her approach to the problem was to kill every single Tribble one by one and then blame Edward for her incompetence.

In all fairness, the entire episode was stupid as the tribbles reproduced themselves without food so they created solid matter out of... air? Poisoning only worked for Kirk, unintentionally btw, because they ate there.
They said in the end the tribbles reached Klingon space, so they did not even need air in open space. This whole plot makes absolutely no sense.
Lucero messed it up, but the way the tribbles were designed in this short trek basically there was no way to get rid of them without extincting them, which the viewer would have found unbearable too. She never really had a chance.

A sad indictment on society how far some people are willing to go to make excuses for inexcusable behavior by a white guy. Even in fictional shows they do it. A colony is on the brink of starvation and needs immediate help. A white guy thinks the solution is doing illegal genetic manipulation experiments and introducing an invasive genetically modified species into the colony. He gets mad when he is told no and gets assigned to a different task by his female boss who has been given the urgent mission of helping the starving colonists. The white guy then goes behind his boss’s back to demean her to her employees as well as making an anonymous and rude complaint to her boss to try to get her fired. He is then told by his female boss that he will be reassigned to another facility because of his actions. Not even fired, just reassigned. Instead of packing his stuff and leaving the white guy disobeys orders, does illegal genetic manipulation without adequate safety procedures endangering the whole crew. Instead of helping, the guy with the knowledge necessary to undo the genetic engineering ignores the problem and is flippant towards the other crew as they try to fix the problem he created while he refuses to help. The genetically modified species with unprecedented appetite and reproduction quickly becomes unstoppable and the small research ship must be evacuated. The white guy disobeys orders again when he refuses to evacuate, once more endangering the crew as they are trying to evacuate quickly but cannot with him refusing to cooperate. His female boss still does everything she can to save his life and even waits until the last possible moment to close the escape pod door giving him as much time to evacuate as possible. The ship assigned to help the starving colonists is destroyed by the white guy’s illegal genetically modified species. Were that not enough to show the white guy had been wrong, when the genetically modified species is able to survive the destruction of the ship and finds its way into the colony, which is what the white guy wanted to do in the first place, the genetically modified species makes the colony completely unlivable and the colonists have to be relocated. With all of these transgressions committed by this white guy, who do some people want to blame? His female boss. She wasn’t nice enough to him when he suggested committing a crime and creating a genetic abomination while she was urgently trying to save starving colonists. She is responsible for him disobeying orders and breaking laws because she was not nice enough to him when he told her bosses she was an idiot and tried to get her fired in the middle of a critical mission. It was her fault he did an illegal genetic experiment without proper containment procedures, without notifying anyone, then left it untended and unobserved as he went to sleep. It was her fault that she did not immediately know how a never seen before hybrid species could self-replicate and eat and destroy the ship sensors, computers, transporters, and everything else in the one day she had on her small ship with no backup support from Starfleet or anyone else. It was her fault the genetically modified species survived the destruction of the ship which should have killed them. Blame the white guy that created the problem and refused to help solve it? Nah, just blame his female boss that was not nice enough to him.
What I find sad is how despite Old Trek preaching about the INDIVIDUALITY to someone Edward obviously isn't an individual with his own personality, he is just a label, in this case - ''a white guy''.
Make Edward a girl named Edina and Lucerno a guy in this story and I will still say how Lucerno is a incompetent idiot on his own merit - not because of his race, gender but because he didn't know how to handle Edina and he lost a ship to damn Tribbles.
A captain of the ship is ALWAYS responsible for his ship.

Michael Burnham disobeys orders, her ship is destroyed, and she gets all of the blame. Edward disobeys orders, his ship is destroyed, and he gets none of the blame. I find that quite telling.
Some will try to justify this unequal treatment by pointing to differences in circumstances while ignoring all the similarities but really, no blame for Edward? None? And this viewpoint is held by many who have seen both Discovery and the Short Trek. Burnham was at fault for her wrong actions, but Edward’s female captain was at fault for his.

Burnham didn't start the war and she isn't responsible for the destruction of Discovery.
Who was responsible for the whole war? Prime Phillipa Georgiou, who is the worst captain after Lucerno.
She didn't listen to the Vulcan Hello advice and she has sealed a war with her "we come in peace" speech.
Although the whole Starfleet including Admirals are dumb af in Discovery.
Why in universe they all blame Burnham for everything?
I don't know, probably because writers of Discovery are out of the touch and don't have any idea what they are doing.

Did we watch the same Short Trek? I thought Edward was the incompetent and annoying one.
Anyway.. 2 pulls all crud. Its not good enough to spend more. Would rather see a Porthos alone as well.
