Things have gone awry. When Commander Adyr and Lieutenant Sherlock depart to gather their separated teammates after Dr. Keita awakens to tell that he'd been attacked, Dr. Morka takes Dr. Morgan hostage eventually revealing his is a Suliban Cabal member in disguise. Upon reaching Lieutenants Etan and Yellir, Station Security Chief Careswell locks the team along with Grendle in the science lab with a force field revealing himself to be part of a terrorist plot.
After Morka departs with Dr. Morgan for the station's Command Center, the team in Sickbay makes their way via crawlways to the team in the Science Lab. The teams then discuss the developments they've learned. Lieutenant Sherlock devises a way to take the force field down and her, Adyr, Sirin, and Yellir make their way to the Command Center to stage an impromptu rescue of Morgan while Yalu, Etan, Keita, and Grendle attempt to head off Careswell at the Genesis device the terrorists are intent on stealing.
The rescue team comes upon Dr. Morgan with his captor and plan a quick rescue. Without proper equipment or knowledge of the layout of the room, the danger is high. Sherlock leads the team in and is quickly shot and critically injured by the captor, Raban. In an attempt to cover her downed teammate, Sirin is attacked at close range by a knife wielding Raban. Commander Adyr is able to use the moment to take control of the captor, effectively subduing him. Dr. Morgan and Yellir devise a plan to help the two injured officers, Yellir is quickly dispatched to Sickbay to retrieve the Doctor's equipment and anything she can find that may help, while Commander Adyr restrains a taunting Raban.
Commander Yalu's team fairs better, reaching the Genesis Lab before "Careswell." They confront him and "Careswell" threatens to shoot the Genesis device. Grendle is able to intervene and distract him but to little avail as a call from Rackham comes through and he promptly transports the Genesis device to the Resolution. At which point Scrunch/Careswell is attacked by a table leg weilding Dr. Keita. Injuring the man's head and arm severely, Commander Yalu and Lieutenant Etan intervene, saving the man.
Back on the Resolution, which is now under attack from a decloaked ship, Acting Captain Adea, Commander Thornton, and Lieutenant Silveira are taken captive by Rackham, who then transports the Genesis device aboard the Resolution. During the attack, the transporter room loses power and Silveira takes advantage of the situation and attempts to subdue Rackham. During the scuffle, Lieutenant Silveira bites Rackham's neck causing severe and possibly life threatening bleeding. Adea and Thornton pull Silveira off the man and begin to give him medical attention but Thornton is quickly distracted when she learns the device beamed on-board was indeed a Genesis device.
