Work carried out by Commander Pandorn and his team to prepare the bulkheads and force fields to allow a controlled hull-breach were in place and a series of probes emitting a synthetic QSD drive signature were placed into a ship synchronous orbit. These features, combined with the destabilisation frequencies, allowed a controlled release of the device from the vessel as the ship exited quantum space under the helmsmanship of Lieutenant Commander Garcia. This, however, was not without incident as further damage to the structural integrity field and inertial dampeners led to further damage to the superstructure. | Work carried out by Commander Pandorn and his team to prepare the bulkheads and force fields to allow a controlled hull-breach were in place and a series of probes emitting a synthetic QSD drive signature were placed into a ship synchronous orbit.

Meanwhile in the main sickbay, Ensign Tara Willians and Doctor Quen Deena managed to extract part of the mine from a marine officer and they were able to study its nature briefly before it vanished. At the same time, Alieth was called to help Dar Kalib, Quen Deena's son. Somehow, the young Half Bajoran had received a telepathic inference from creatures inhabiting the QSD, known as The Eidolon Mandate, who were the creatures behind the attack. To free him from the influence of the Mandate, Alieth melted with the boy, which became complicated and from which they had to be extracted thanks to the assistance of Commander Teller. | |||
While the Thor was now safe and free of the alien mine the damage to the vessel together with the isolated nature of the ship beyond the furthest reaches of the Federation the regretful decision was made to abandon ship. The preparations were made for this eventuality but it was not required due to the timely intervention of Fleet Captain Kells aboard the USS Tharsis leading a taskforce, that also constituted the USS Indefatigable and USS Alameda, who had been advised of the situation aboard the Thor by Doctor MacKenzie. | While the Thor was now safe and free of the alien mine the damage to the vessel together with the isolated nature of the ship beyond the furthest reaches of the Federation the regretful decision was made to abandon ship.
