After the Tholians suddenly attack and destroy the space station Astrofori One, Starfleet is on high alert, with ships being moved to prepare for further hostilities. Yet back in the Shoals, far from the rest of the fleet, the USS Veritas and USS Montreal are ordered to locate a lost Starfleet cargo ship, the USS Artemis, and secure its top-secret cargo before the Tholians are able to find and retrieve it, which could result in a full scale, devastating war. | |||
After an early battle with three Tholian vessels, the USS Veritas finds the Artemis within Tholian territory thanks to the aid of a time traveler known as Jhalib Ekal. He is a temporal agent from the late 25th century who has come to the present to warn Captain Rahman that temporal agents have sabotaged Veritas, believing the sacrifice of the ship will prevent that costly war with the Tholians. Arriving at the Artemis, her captain Felicia Nickson reveals the secret cargo is a powerful subspace surveillance array. Captain Rahman ordered first officer Commander Evan Delano to lead an away team to the Artemis to assess the state of the ship and the cargo. Meanwhile, she ordered Engineering to prepare a back up demolition plan in case they must scuttle the Artemis before the Tholians discover her. | |||
Now, an engineering team is aboard Artemis to begin implementing the plan, while Delano's team apprehended a pirate from the Artemis whose comrades had stolen some of the cargo. Still within Tholian territory, the crew hope to finish their mission without issue, but three Tholian ships dropped out of warp and demand that Veritas forfeit the Artemis. | |||
While the crew navigated the standoff, an engineering team led by Ensigns Geoffrey Teller and Wil Ukinix successfully scuttled the Artemis by intentionally overloading the ship’s slipstream drive. The engineering team escaped via an Orion vessel in the Artemis shuttle bay, while Veritas extended its warp field around the Tholian fleet to ensure they escaped the resulting explosion. | While the crew navigated the standoff, an engineering team led by Ensigns Geoffrey Teller and Wil Ukinix successfully scuttled the Artemis by intentionally overloading the ship’s slipstream drive.
