After the catastrophic drill, the ''Artemis'' was ordered to a research mission. During the intense scanning mission, the ''Artemis'' conducted deep-level sensor sweeps across the Borderlands, with the sensors running around the clock.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/quoPZERWAwg/ The mission to scan stuff], LtCmdr Yogan Yalu, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240009.29</ref> This being her first mission as the Assistant Chief Science Officer, Jovenan wanted good results, but was too eager and approved more research proposals than their resources allowed.

The nature of the mission changed dramatically, when a group of vessels crossed over from another universe. The research mission ended, and the Science Department administrative assistant [[Ailata Milath]] told her the science officers blamed her for the cancelled studies as well as the chaos before the events.<ref name="We are not so different" />
 
One of the people that had crossed over was [[Jovenan (alternate)|her counterpart]], whom Jovenan went to meet. After the counterpart seemed to refuse to open the door of her temporary quarters, Jovenan introduced her through the door. Almost immediately, the alternate Jovenan rushed to hug Jovenan and pulled her in. The alternate Jovenan asked her which universe they were in, but Jovenan couldn't answer. The alternate Jovenan further questioned her of Divine Fleet (which Jovenan didn't know about) and Starfleet. The alternate Jovenan quickly determined that the Edo in the Prime universe were “nothing but sex-crazed hedonists who are too afraid to leave God’s Claims”, which Jovenan was ashamed to admit. The alternate Jovenan moved to reveal details of the Edo God, which she claimed were the same in different universes, surprising Jovenan. When Jovenan insisted her counterpart to assist her in finding out how to send them back, the alternate Jovenan instead interrupted her and requested her assistance, appealing to their shared faith.<ref name="We are not so different" /> After Jovenan refused, the alternate Jovenan tried to appeal to her rank as a mediator, making Jovenan pull out her community leader's necklace, indicating her status over her. The alternate Jovenan, however, took notice of the fact that Jovenan was hiding the necklace under her uniform turtleneck. This lead to her mocking Jovenan of her abandoning their culture.<ref name="Linian vajos ren, jialon res" />
 
Jovenan resumed to study the "prismagons", devices that had caused the alternate universe ship to travel to their universe, working long days and nights to find a way to send them back. Despite the pressure to finish the research quickly, Jovenan was interrupted by Dakora, who asked her to join him in his office. There, Dakora and PO [[Xandeus Filistrien]] told her that they had intercepted a message, transmitted by fluctuation in the ''Desdemona'''s system, and was apparently written in her language. Jovenan quickly identified the text of the message as her native dialect, but since the message was only partial, she could only make out "somebody is going to do something to a deer vessel".<ref name="Linian vajos ren, jialon res">[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/Q_AcRthh46Q/ Linian vajos ren, jialon res], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240010.29</ref> Jovenan informed Dakora of what had happened during her meeting with her counterpart, believing her to be deceitful and manipulative. Just then, Dakora found out a group of the ''Desdemona'' crewmembers had beamed over to the ''Artemis'', including the counterparts of Jovenan and MacKenzie. Based on what they had learnt, they decided to warn the Captain and the security.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/v1AjpMjFhso/ The war against bad poets], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240011.02</ref>
 
The Captain ordered Jovenan to cooperate with Doctor Genkos Adea to try and find the ending for the message. She went to the Sickbay trying to find him in his office but was informed by Doctor Gila Sadar that Adea hasn't been there that day. After being asked, Sadar told that Adea hasn't been doing his normal shifts and has appeared busy since the arrival of the ''Desdemona''. Jovenan began to suspect that Adea's odd behaviour might be ''Desdemona'''s crew's doing, and she informed Sadar of the possible attack.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/ze8zD6wcI6A/ Somebody’s playing truant], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240011.04</ref><ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/ZHzwl3U76Ug/ Paranoid rambling], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240011.05</ref> They began to investigate Adea's odd behaviour and concluded that he might have been replaced by his counterpart. They believed the real Adea might be held in his quarters, and decided to enter there to find out.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/Lhy5dY6TA9Q/ Nobody trusts a panicking leader], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240011.08</ref> They found Adea bound and gagged in his closet, alive and in relatively good condition.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/mhVe2iJYK20/ Out of the closet], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240011.12</ref>
 
After freed Adea had joined Jovenan and Sadar, they learnt through the communications system that the crew of the ''Desdemona'' were claiming to have taken over all essential locations on the ship. Adea began to plan attacking the bridge with Jovenan and Sadar, who reluctantly accepted his orders.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/w0M76NUMAaE/ Leaving the closet to join the fight], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240011.13</ref> Before just the three of them could leave for the bridge, they were contacted by Captain MacKenzie, who joined them together with Lt Silveira. The larger group planned that some of them would pretend to be their counterparts and others would be "captives", so that they could all go to the bridge without immediate resistance from the ''Desdemona'' crewmembers occupying it. Silveira pleaded them to fast so that he could go and rescue the alternate Jovenan.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/F2FMye_Qzoc/ Catching up], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240011.16</ref> Jovenan learnt that Silveira and her counterpart had started a romance, and was initially weirded out by it and refused to believe her counterpart was sincere in that relationship. She also worried how this might affect her collegial relationship with Silveira.<ref name="Only people who are capable of loving">[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/R6-ajX6kdSg/ "Only people who are capable of loving strongly can also suffer great sorrow" -Tolstoy], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240011.19</ref>
 
The team procedeed with their plan. Jovenan, Adea and Sadar played the roles of their counterparts while MacKenzie and Silveira pretended to be their captives. The team was allowed to the bridge, where they found Silveira's counterpart [[Vitor Olivera]], Ensign Flint Kader in role of his counterpart, and another ''Desdemona'' crewmember. Olivera initially fell for their ruse, but then contacted [[Addison MacKenzie (alternate)|Colonel MacKenzie]], the Captain's counterpart, asking if Jovenan's counterpart wasn't in her team. The team learnt that Mediator Jovenan had died after betraying the ''Desdemona'' crew. At that point, Jovenan realised she had been wrong on her counterpart. Meanwhile, Silveira became rageous and attacked his counterpart. Their ruse discovered, the team took over the bridge after a brief fight. Silveira planned to kill his counterpart, but they were interrupted by an approaching vessel and they took their stations. Kader informed it was nothing to worry about, and soon their deflector fired an energy burst and the approaching vessel, a Shint ship, disappeared, presumedly back to their universe. While she didn't know how Kader had acquired this information, he told them how they could send the ''Desdemona'' back to their universe. Jovenan however learnt that the Hazardous Materials Lab had been breached, a scientist working there killed and the prismagons stolen. Before they could do much more, Ensign Savel informed them that Hiro Jones had been severely injured in an explosion in the Sickbay.<ref name="Only people who are capable of loving" /> This information nearly devastated Jovenan, and Doctor Adea left the bridge to help him.<ref name="Sad days feed themselves">[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/6Li2l5fUCKg/ Sad days feed themselves], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240011.21</ref>
 
The bridge crew began to track down the attackers and report the status around the ship to the Captain. Jovenan found the stolen prismagon container using its locator beacon.<ref name="Sad days feed themselves" /> [[Genkos Adea (alternate)|Genkos Adea]], Doctor Adea's counterpart, escaped with a stolen shuttle while the ''Artemis'' was holding the ''Desdemona'' from fleeing. Meanwhile, Commander Dakora and his team secured the prismagons.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/Pue_SShRNJA/ Desperation, this time not from us], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240011.25</ref> After a while, Ensign [[Kawarda]] informed Jovenan that he might have made an accidental breakthrough in the study of the prismagons, and Jovenan asked the Captain to join him. By this time, they had already located and detained or killed all remaining ''Desdemona'' crewmembers on the ''Artemis''. A few hours of research and installation work later, the Captain ordered the crew to create an opening between the universes and send the ''Desdemona'' back to their home reality.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/qbChj_N3GeM/ Opening the Gates of the Universes], {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240011.30</ref>}}

Jovenan was invited to a ritual held to the alternate universe counterpart of [[Jaseb Chevalier]] by Petty Officer [[Damien Black]], together with Doctor Adea. Chevalier's counterpart, Jaseb, had died during the previous mission and had apparently addressed Jovenan's counterpart as his friend before his death. The event consisted of a ritual washing of the body. Jovenan felt discomfort about touching a dead person, but when on with the ritual nevertheless. They discussed matters of spirituality and religion.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/esRkvfcg7Fc/ The New Acquaintance with Death], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240012.06</ref><ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/TNyx0Zlc88o/ In the deep end], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240012.09</ref>
Dakora visited Jovenan at the ''Artemis'' Science Centre. He wanted to talk about how Jovenan was feeling after the mission, but Jovenan could tell that the mission had been challenging to Dakora as well. They tried helping each other, and they became closer as a result.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/KVM92yu82JU/ I wish I knew the words], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240012.05</ref><ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/VrqqVRHfRnw/ From shadows to sunshine], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240012.13</ref>
Jovenan also had a medical checkup done by Doctor Sadar.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/tooqRYcVrSw/ Bumps and bruises, nothing serious so far], LtJG Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240012.17</ref>
