The Thama and Nascaik have arrived and some of the senior staff have been assigned as tour guides before the negotiations begin. The Nascaik seem less than enthused at the idea, but go along nonetheless. Meanwhile, a team led by Doctor Adea, consisting of Commander Jolara and Ensigns Yellir and Etan, will be beaming down to the surface of Vionus IV to see if they can find out exactly what either species is seeking to gain from the planet. | The Thama and Nascaik have arrived and some of the senior staff have been assigned as tour guides before the negotiations begin.

Thama delegate Niran has come down with a mysterious "illness" and sent her aide, Ashal Koas in her place to the negotiations. During which it is revealed that the Nascaik want the planet to stem a "humanitarian crisis." Commander MacKenzie calls into question the motives of both sides. Meanwhile, the officers gathered on the bridge are attempting to root out minor system failures that are cropping up around the ship. | |||
The away team on Vionus IV, now joined by Ensign Nox, is finding little in the way of leads given the limited information from the delegates. Astatine ore in high deposits seems to be the only valuable mineral they've found. Until coming across a probe with a yet to be determined origin, that appears to have been shot down. | |||
During a livening debate over Viouns IV, Ashal Koas hatched her plan. Leaving the Resolution drifting and without power, she chemically paralyzed Ar-Dev. Blowing out a viewport in the Briefing Room, she stole away with the now paralyzed Ar-Dev into a programed shuttle to make her escape. | |||
=== Act III === | |||
Ashal Koas has taken Rossk Shes Ar-Dev to the lost colony of Aspiration. The Thama and Nascaik have agreed to allow the Resolution to attempt a rescue of Ar-Dev and apprehend the, now, terrorist Koas. The Resolution limps towards Aspiration running on partial power and the crew make their plans for the rescue. | |||
While a small away team heads down to Aspiration to retrieve Rossk Ar-Dev, and hopefully his captor, alive. Commander MacKenzie lays down the law to the delegates after Ensign Etan's research reveals the truth behind the Nascaik's desire for Vionus IV. | |||
Scientists, Engineers, and Doctors work out a treatment for the Resolutions allergic reaction after the rescue team returns with Ar-Dev alive. Ashal Koas, now a victim of her own weapon of terror used to threaten Ar-Dev on Aspiration. The negotiations continue when the truth behind the Nascaik's need for vital minerals is revealed to not only be the expansion of Hypermales, but that the reduction in Hypermales is also causing a recordable decline in the general population. | |||
The Thama and Nascaik tentatively agree to a joint program for research into the plights of both of their worlds with a non-aggression agreement from the Nascaik and an transitional offering of two worlds taken by them from the Thama, back to the original settlers.<ref>https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-resolution/c/eudcfVn5dxs</ref> | |||
