Gravimetric distortions bring the ''Arrow'' to impulse and the crew try to determine what indeed is out there. When the ship drops out of warp, Captain Shayne notices that something is blocking out the stars from further afield. A moon? A black hole?

Meanwhile, an opportunistic Ferengi Second Officer leads a small shuttle team to an ancient ship lost in space. He smells profit on the stale air and orders his men to search for it once they're in the cargo hold. Strange moss and plants have been growing on the deck and bulkheads - evidence that people haven't been there for many years. Suddenly, a loud and ungodly roar disrupts the scavengers search, and it becomes clear something terrible lies waiting on the ancient vessel... | Meanwhile, an opportunistic Ferengi Second Officer leads a small shuttle team to an ancient ship lost in space.

It seems to be made of some kind of stone, but a metallurgical analysis proves it's actually some kind of stone/metal composite. | |||
Stalking the hulk is a Ferengi marauder - the ''FMS Fortuna'' - which takes a defensive stance against the Starfleet ship. Communications between Captain Shayne and DaiMon Slek reveal he is invested in the hulk and has sent two teams to evaluate and catalogue its contents for sale. Lt.Commander Maz Rodan forms an Away Team of Commander Serinus, Lieutenants Waters and R'Ariel, and Lieutenant JG Caden to investigate the ruined ship to determine whether it is derelict, and whether DaiMon Slek has a legal claim to it... | |||
