The sudden disappearance of Captain Kells, Councilor Prianna, and the rest was only the beginning as the mysterious abductors vanished from the system almost undetected. | The sudden disappearance of Captain Kells, Councilor Prianna, and the rest was only the beginning as the mysterious abductors vanished from the system almost undetected. | ||
Initial attempts to track the abductors were met with a string of weird and hazardous malfunctions. While LtCmdr. Cain contacted Starfleet HQ, Chief Engineer {{n|Roshanara|Rahman}} worked to overcome the malfunctions. After one of Rahman’s engineers {{n|Rick|Rawden}} suffered an injury, the source of the malfunctions was discovered to be an artificial entity that had spread itself through the ship’s computer network, making use of the ''Mercury''’s holographic emitters to interact with the crew through an avatar called [[Efili]]. The entity seemed to want to learn from the crew. | Initial attempts to track the abductors were met with a string of weird and hazardous malfunctions. While LtCmdr.

After the malfunctions ceased, the crew traced the abductors to [[Vador III]]. An explosive device detonated inside [[Mercury Main Engineering|main engineering]] just after the Mercury entered the Vador system. The device, which was strapped to the warp core, did substantial damage and inflicted heavy casualties. A second device was safely removed without causing further damage. The culprit is yet to be identified. Acting CO Cain sent acting XO {{n|Eyas|Wulfantine}} on the rescue mission using shuttlecraft while the remaining ''Mercury'' crew completed emergency repairs and anticipated a Klingon attack. | After the malfunctions ceased, the crew traced the abductors to [[Vador III]].
