After a short shore leave at Deep Space 6, Captain Renos summons the senior staff of the Darwin for a meeting. Calling the meeting to order, Renos starts by handing out some Prometheus Ribbons to Lieutenant Commander Luna Walker and Ensign Kurt Logan for their previous efforts on the USS Excalibur. Next, Renos announces the awarding of the Diplomacy Ribbon to nemself and Ensign Lyldra, for their efforts in mitigating Asavii discord in the previous mission. Ensign Iniko Mpeba receives the Good Conduct Award for jheas actions to protect the Asavii Science Minister. And finally, for efforts to assist and work with the Asavii on a mission of exploration, the Joint Meritorious Unit Award is bestowed upon Renos, Lieutenant Commander Kael Thomas, Lieutenant Commander Rendal Rennyn, Walker, Lieutenant Maxwell Traenor, Lieutenant JG John Valdivia, Lyldra, Mpeba, CPO Michael Jellico, and newly-minted Security Recruit Iy. After the awards are distributed, Renos calls forth Traenor, and promotes him to Lieutenant Commander. After this, Renos directs a department meeting to be held for the Security department, and calls the meeting to a close.
The Darwin has been tasked to conduct a routine patrol, taking them near the Zakdorn region. On the bridge, Capt Renos indicates a course for Cmdr Rennyn to chart, and instructs their departure from Deep Space 6. Lt Valdivia and Cmdr Traenor share kind words before Valdivia departs for Astrometrics, leaving Traenor on the bridge. Cmdr Thomas reminisces about a visit to Zakdorn, and quips that they should arrange for shore leave on the planet. When the topic of Zalkonians come up, Rennyn asks about their history with the species. Renos defers the question to Thomas, and responding to a message from civilian Scott Walker, leaves the bridge to meet with him. Thomas and Traenor share anecdotes about the Zalkonians with Rennyn. Leaving the meeting, Cmdr Walker and Ens Mpeba take a turbolift together towards Engineering. Mpeba, having a history with Romulans, takes issue with Walker's partial lineage, which sparks off a verbal confrontation. Working through the misconceptions, the two engineers come to a better understanding. CPO Jellico, Ensign Logan, and recruit Iy share a turbolift together, and engage in small talk on their way to the security office for a departmental meeting. Arriving at the security office, Jellico introduces the two new department members to the interim chief, Lieutenant JG Noros Tanna. After questioning Iy, Noros breaks the group up into pairs to conduct equipment checks, before reconsidering and leading them all together to conduct the checks. They engage in light banter along the way.

Capt Renos meets Scott Walker in Natural Selections, where the civilian expresses a wish to work in the ship's counseling department as well as revealing a unique trait to nem. Renos is called away unexpectedly, but not before granting Scott Walker's request.
After the senior staff meeting, Ens Lyldra retires to the counselor's office to conduct her departmental duties. Scott Walker meets her there after his meeting with Capt Renos to discuss his possible role, as granted by nem. Meanwhile, Cmdr Thomas meets a new officer on the bridge, Ensign Graeme Cook. Thomas' conversation with the medical officer is cut short when Cmdr Rennyn advises of a distress signal from Zakdorn. After instructing Rennyn to divert directly to Zakdorn, Thomas recalls Capt Renos to the bridge. With current events taking his attention, Thomas instructs Cook to report to sickbay. The distress signal is strange, in that Rennyn finds it is transmit-only and sent directly into space, and Cmdr Traenor notices that it doesn't conform to normal distress channels. Traenor solicits assistance from Lt Valdivia in Astrometrics to better pinpoint where on Zakdorn the strange signal is originating from. Valdivia is able to narrow it down to an isolated part of Zakdorn, where the most prominent location is a large factory complex. During this time, a pilot named Mar Valek sits impatiently in a shuttle near a remote factory complex on Zakdorn. Pilot Valek is awaiting the return of some associates, when explosions rend the night air. In a control room of the factory, Foreman Eleene Mornay is shocked by the explosions and the ensuing chaos. When it is discovered that outgoing comms are affected, Foreman Mornay rushes to attempt to assist those affected. In another section of the factory, supervisor Zuin Nalurn finds himself and other Zakdorns, all youths, trapped in an area where strange toxic fumes are accumulating.A strange ship is introduced, lying in wait a great distance from Zakdorn. Its commanding officer, Tor'kath, is having a terse conversation with somebody of authority when he is interrupted by news of a distress signal being transmitted from the planet. Concerned about a rendezvous, CO Tor'kath queries about operatives and the state of an "endeavor".
