In early 2389, Stennes and the ''Drake'' crew searched the area between Earth and Alpha Centauri for a missing shuttle containing Lt. Commander [[Whale, David|David Whale]]. Stennes and Lt. Commander [[Kells, Aron|Aron Kells]] worked together to modify the ''Drake'''s sensors and plot the most likely areas to search for the shuttle. While conducting the search, the ''Drake'' was pulled into an anomaly and deposited into a previously unexplored dimension later dubbed "null space." With traditional impulse and warp engines unavailable, a network of sails was deployed to the hull to ride particle streams moving through null space, thereby providing propulsion. Stennes supervised the installation of the sails and manually maneuvered the ''Drake'' through the streams. Commander [[Rogers, William|Will Rogers]] ordered Stennes to lead an away team to a nearby planet, where a Gorn ship carrying a cache of dilithium had crashed. Departing the ''Drake'' with Ensign [[Sung, Marcus|Marcus Sung]], Chief Petty Officer Jane Van Klaveren, Petty Officer [[Mint, Domane|Domane Mint]] and Crewman Thy'lek, Stennes' orders were to secure the dilithium and attempt contact with another away team already on the planet. During a rough landing, Didrik suffered a lacerated cornea and subsequent globe rupture in his right eye. | In early 2389, Stennes and the ''Drake'' crew searched the area between Earth and Alpha Centauri for a missing shuttle containing Lt.

Stennes' team successfully located the dilithium inside an unmanned Gorn spacecraft, but while returning to the shuttlecraft, Stennes' came into contact with an atmospheric mist that appears as part of the planet's weather system. The mist alters the genes of living organisms it contacts, leaving Stennes unable to be rescued by the Drake's transporter. After the rest of the away team were beamed back to the ''Drake'', Stennes repaired the shuttle's propulsion system and flew it back into space, where he was tractored aboard and treated by the ''Drake'''s medical staff. | Stennes' team successfully located the dilithium inside an unmanned Gorn spacecraft, but while returning to the shuttlecraft, Stennes' came into contact with an atmospheric mist that appears as part of the planet's weather system.

After the rest of the away team were beamed back to the ''Drake'', Stennes repaired the shuttle's propulsion system and flew it back into space, where he was tractored aboard and treated by the ''Drake'''s medical staff. He was left with a minor vision impairment that thereafter necessitated the use of corrective lenses, but the mist also affected him at the genetic level, leaving him unable to feel pain. Ensign Stennes was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, junior grade, and awarded the Explorer's Ribbon and Purple Heart in April 2389. | ||
Stennes was promoted | In August 2389, while attempting to use temporal phasing to assist Major [[Whale, David|David Whale]] and Lieutenant [[Pandora]] in accessing the controls of an Ishkarian sensor device, Lieutenant, j.g. Stennes became partially phased himself, and encountered a group of Ishkarians believing they were inhabiting a form of Purgatory. Shortly thereafter, he recruited the help of Captain [[Kells, Aron|Aron Kells]] of the [[USS Mercury|USS ''Mercury'']] to conduct further research into the Ishkarian system, with the eventual goal of recovering the lost Ishkarians. Stennes and Kells meet irregularly to share developments on this ongoing project, when their schedules permit, in a holoconference linkup between their two ships. | ||
In August and September 2389, Lieutenant, j.g. Stennes was one of many Starfleet officers who served in the Federation's military response to the Klingon invasion of Romulan space. As a crewmember of the [[USS Drake|USS ''Drake'']], he served alongside the crew of the [[USS Avandar|USS ''Avandar'']] in its defense of [[Gateway Station]]. Stennes was promoted from Lieutenant, junior grade, to Lieutenant in October 2389, and awarded the Klingon Campaign Ribbon for his service in the conflict. | |||
In December 2389, the ''Drake'' made contact with a space-faring species known to them as Cosmozoa. Lieutenant Stennes was taken from the bridge of the ''Drake'' into the body of the Cosmozoa. He discovered a likely connection between the Cosmozoa, the Ishkarian disaster and the phased Ishkarians, and the ''Drake'''s prior excursion to Null Space. Because of his previous experience in Null Space, and his knowledge of the Ishkarian homeworld disaster, he joined an Away Team to re-enter the creature and take possession of an ancient beacon the crew was dispatched to locate and reactivate. Lieutenant Stennes temporarily regained the ability to feel pain as a result of his time inside the Cosmozoan, but lost the sense again on the return trip. It is yet unknown whether the condition will be permanent. | |||
