[[Image:dunbar.jpg|150px|thumb|left|USS Dunbar]]Renos explains that they have been tasked to respond to the distress call from an Antares class freighter called the USS Dunbar, which has been conducting surveys near the Zeta Gelis cluster.  It is explained that the ship had been transmitting back perplexing readings about an emergent anomaly, and that Starfleet Sciences & Technologies are concerned that the anomaly may be related to the Prometheus Incident.  With the Dunbar disabled, missing its chief engineer, and being drawn towards the anomaly, the Darwin has been tasked to render assistance.

Lt Traenor provides a little background on the Prometheus Incident, and how the anomaly affecting the Dunbar may be related.  Cmdr Jorey raises concerns about outside influence, with special emphasis on the regions’ primary antagonists, the Zalkonians.  One weapon in particular, the Anoxia Field, is particularly dangerous due to its effects on the systems of affected ships.  Ens Valdivia, with his expertise, offers to try and devise countermeasures.  Lt Shedet, familiar with the region, expresses concern that there is more than the Zalkonians on the minds of the region’s inhabitants.  Lt Peters is among the first to volunteer for the Away mission to the Dunbar, as well as Lt Dragumov.  The mission briefing winds down as Renos tasks: Shedet, Lt Yael, and Ens Lexicon to work with another mission specialist, {{n|Nicu|Icavoc}}, to determine the risks presented by the Zalkonians at the present time; Jorey to consider the makeup of the Away team to board the Dunbar; Malon to prepare for treatment of the Dunbar’s crew; and the engineers to brush up on their knowledge of Antares-class freighters.

|Arriving in the Dunbar's engine room, the Darwin crewmembers are disrupted by a small console fire.  Jellico urges Peters to carry on and check in with the acting chief engineer of the freighter while he douses the fire.  A few minutes later, when Capt Dreyfus enters Engineering and the fire has been extinguished, nobody can find Peters.  He has disappeared without a trace, much like the missing officers of the Dunbar.  In Peter's point of view, however, he has stepped from the chaotic reality of the engine room into a hollow, pristine version where he is trapped and alone.  The remaining officers on site start to consider the possibility of the missing Starfleet officers being trapped in subspace, and Jellico offers a suggestion of using subspace communications to try and test the theory.

Like a mirage, Peters sees the 'other' Dunbar engine room and his colleagues, and overhears their conversation.  Yet, he cannot interact with them or the environment.  At this time, Lexicon catches the merest glimpse of the missing Darwin engineer.

In the Dunbar's sickbay, Jorey has arrived seeking treatment for his apparent sightings of apparitions.  Yael and Malon check him over, finding no medical or mental reasoning for any hallucinations.  Still, just then Jorey experiences another premonition, this time of armed troops advancing on the sickbay.  Again, the images and feeling fall on him alone, but to be safe Jorey recalls Dragumov to his location and starts conducting detailed scans.

In the Darwin's Intelligence Lab, Icavoc has information on the Zalkonians and prepares to head to the bridge, when he notes a flash.  Suddenly, he finds himself incorporeal, unable to interact with the surroundings or, indeed, other people such as civilian Nino Brocales.  He finds a way to the bridge where he tries to garner anybody's attention and almost manages to interact with Traenor and Valdivia.
[[Image:petersphased.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Peters, phased]]On the Dunbar, once Jorey learns of Peter's apparent disappearance, he recalls all of the Darwin's officers to meet just off the engine room for a regroup.  Deciding on focusing their efforts on reestablishing contact with the Darwin and with preparing for a tractor tow from the science ship, Jorey reissues instructions to his team.  Jellico is tasked with assisting engineering on shoring up structural integrity, Yael is tasked with assessing Dunbar crew morale, Lexicon is to work on reestablishing comms, and Dragumov is to report to the bridge and provide relief for the Dunbar crew stationed there.  Jorey holds back Malon, however, and tasks her with attempting to use her unique Rodulan empathic skills to try and communicate with the phased Peters.
Lexicon becomes out of phase himself, but not to the same degree that Peters is, meaning he cannot talk to Peters clearly, nor can communicate with the rest of the non-phased crew.  Peters, being present in Engineering yet unable to interact or talk to the assembled group, shows increasing frustration with the helplessness of the situation.  Despite her misgivings, due to the harmful nature that Rodulan telepathy takes, Malon attempts a mental connection with Peters, which he can receive but Malon cannot note.
[[Image:gravimetricspike.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Gravimetric spike]]Coming to a similar decision as Jorey's, Renos instructs the bridge officers on the Darwin to focus on tractoring the Dunbar, and finding a way to speak to the crippled vessel.  Valdivia posits a personal theory about the location and status of the missing personnel on the Dunbar, while Traenor discovers that the gravimetric spikes from the rift, like the one that destroyed the Dunbar's cargo bay, were being exacerbated by their own sensor use.  Against the better judgement of the senior officers, Traenor disables the ship's scientific sensors in an attempt to cease the rift's gravimetric spikes.

|With the sensors off, the Darwin enjoys a reprieve from the outbursts from the rift - temporarily.  After only a couple minutes, the largest gravimetric spike yet strikes the Darwin, leaving Traenor dumbfounded in his theory.  Though insisting that the latest spike must have been caused by another ship, there is no evidence to back Traenor's claim.  Immediately following the spike, Valdivia manages to see Icavoc and tackles the man, only to find that he has joined the Dokkaran out of phase instead of rescuing him as intended.  Thomas is the first to notice Valdivia's absence, and realizes that the same thing is happening on the Darwin as is happening on the Dunbar. 
Valdivia, out of phase, notices a Zalkonian ship on the viewscreen that he hadn't seen prior to phasing.  We switch to the bridge of the SWC Purity, the Zalkonian warship we visited earlier, and we learn that this is indeed the ship that Valdivia is seeing.  Zalkonian Commander Akaym, along with his bridge crew and Romulan attache Sub-Commander Tal'Aura, are watching the incident with the two Federations ships play out.  The ship is equipped with a transphasic cloak and is therefore invisible to the Darwin's sensors, and they are conducting experiments on the rift.  They also confirm Traenor's theory that scanning the rift is the cause of its gravimetric spikes.
[[Image:girlstoy.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Toy dropped by the Zalkonian girl]]After the meeting of Darwin officers in the engineering section of the Dunbar, Jorey is enroute to the freighter's bridge when he sees a Zalkonian child.  Confused, Jorey approaches the girl, and is further shocked when the missing Dunbar scientist he had seen earlier also appears, taking the girl and warning Jorey to run.  The three are pursued by Zalkonian soldiers, and escape into a turbolift where the scientist and the girl disappear once more.  Thoroughly frustrated, Jorey continues to the bridge, but when the doors to the lift open he is met by another Zalkonian soldier who fires on him at point blank range.  What should have been a mortal wound barely fazed him, and nobody present on the bridge has seen or heard anything except for Jorey.
Valdivia and Icavoc continue trying to figure out how to phase back into normal space to warn Renos about the Zalkonian threat off their bow, while the effects and consequences of phasing affect other crewmen and women around the Darwin.

|[[Image:explodepadd.jpg|150px|thumb|right|A valiant effort, though largely unsuccessful]]In the Dunbar's engineering section, Peters continues to try and facilitate a telepathic link with either Malon or Jorey, with no particular success yet.  However, Peters has a chance encounter with {{nrank|Ensign|Pon Pon}}, a science officer from the {{USS|Gemini}} who had somehow ended up on the Dunbar when knocked out of phase on his own ship.  Utilizing a suggestion by Pon Pon, they overload a PADD to try and knock them out of their phased state, but the plan only partially works by sending the diminutive Gemini officer back to his own ship.
On the bridge of the Darwin, after Traenor's futile experiment, Shedet devises a program that might accomplish the ability to tow the Dunbar from the rift.  Thomas encourages Traenor to break him out of a mental funk, before using Shedet's program to lock a tractor beam onto the Dunbar.
Jorey, now on the Dunbar's bridge, is advised by Dragumov that Connory was able to get a message through from the Darwin advising of their intended plans.  A hail from Jellico reminds Jorey that his recent experiences have a basis in reality, and he senses the presence of more minds in the vicinity than the sensors can account for.  Jorey starts to suspect the presence of another ship, and recalls all Darwin officers to the freighter's bridge in preparation for tow efforts from the Darwin.
Finally, both Malon's and Peter's efforts to contact each other telepathically are rewarded, and she is able to convey to both Peters and Lexicon that they should accompany her to the bridge of the Dunbar.  Jellico as well reports to the freighter's bridge as commanded, and Capt Dreyfus joins them there as well.
Back on the Darwin's bridge, Valdivia realizes that if he intersects with non-phased objects, the results are scannable by the rest of the crew.  He draws Shedet, scanning the disturbances that Valdivia is creating, into the turbolift and onto engineering where he might find a phased engineer that can help him with his plans.  In the turbolift, they encounter Ensign Todd Manius, a medic that has mistaken a phased officer for a deceased loved one and had been driven into the lift out of panic.  Icavoc remains on the bridge, hoping to find a way to communicate the Zalkonian risk to the bridge crew.  Eventually, Valdivia is able to reach engineering, with Shedet and Manius bickering in tow, where Valdivia is frustrated by not finding what he was looking for.

|On the bridge of the Dunbar, as tow efforts are underway, Lexicon notes a disturbance in his level of phased state.  Taking a risk that it is a portal back to normal space, he jumps in.  Peters is also drawn back into phase as the Dunbar, barely surviving the ordeal, is towed free of the rift's effects by the Darwin.  Jellico feels the strain of trying to keep the ship's structural integrity up during the tow, but prevails in his efforts.
Renos, Thomas, and Traenor discuss the feasibility of anyon sweeps to de-phase the Darwin's missing officers.  It was a idea posited by Valdivia earlier, and the situation is deemed dire enough to give it a try.  Traenor's efforts conducting handheld sweeps uncover two people on the bridge, Icavoc and Amanda Rivers.  Icavoc immediately shouts out his warning, bringing the fear of the Zalkonian anoxia field back into play.
In the Darwin's engineering section, a phased Valdivia struggles to find a method to communicate his needs to Shedet and Manius.  Though not having much luck communicating with Valdivia, Shedet and Manius try to patch their combative nature with each other.
[[Image:Darwinphaser.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Unorthodox comms]]With the renewed threat of the Zalkonians, Connory and Thomas devise a plan to use the Darwin's phasers to transmit a visual morse code message to the Dunbar alerting them to the threat of using direct comms.  Traenor contributes efforts to make the message more legible.  As Thomas is busy in the last stages of breaking the Dunbar free of the rift, Icavoc steps in to man Tactical and send the message.
Now free of imminent danger by the rift, and made aware of the Zalkonian ship, Jorey and Capt Dreyfus order Peters, Jellico, Lexicon, and Malon to report back to Engineering and make repair attempts to put the freighter back under her own power.  Lexicon relays the uncertainty and difficulty of recreating his de-phasing incident for the rest of the missing Dunbar crew.  Peters's relief at being de-phased is soon replaced with apprehension as he is ordered to return to the point where the original phase shift occurred.  Jellico picks up on his colleague's discomfort and tries to ease his concerns in a gruff manner.
After a period of time, Peters and Jellico are able to bring the Dunbar's impulse engines back online, while Lexicon shores up the freighter's structural integrity.  Peters and Jellico discuss terminology for providing engineering estimates.
Renos and Traenor transmit the details of their successful efforts to de-phase affected officers to Shedet, with instructions to prepare efforts to implement the plan ship-wide.

|It is revealed on the bridge of the SWC Purity that the Zalkonian ship has been employing a Transphasic Cloak to remain unseen by the Federation ships.  Cmdr Akaym orders the cloak disengaged, and they launch a probe-like device into the heart of the rift.  When the device impacts the anomaly, the rift implodes as the Zalkonians warp back towards their sovereign space.
Shedet and Manius use the instructions received from the bridge to build an anyon emitter, and manage to de-phase Valdivia.  Manius gives Valdivia a perfunctory medical exam before releasing him to return to the bridge.  Shedet and Manius then go throughout the ship and re-phase all the missing crewmembers.
On the Darwin, the bridge officers watched with concern as the Zalkonian ship appeared and fired its probe at the rift.  Traenor struggled to scan the rift as it imploded, leaving mostly empty space.
With both the Zalkonian ship and the rift gone, and the Dunbar safe and under power, Renos gives orders to the Away team to return as the two Federation ships make course to Deep Space 6.  All senior officers are given leave to rest.  On their return from the Dunbar, Jorey instructs Peters and Lexicon to receive a checkup in sickbay, and dismisses the rest before himself reporting to Renos.  After discussions with Jorey, Renos then summons Traenor to nir ready room for a debrief.  Capt Dreyfus of the Dunbar is thankful for the Darwin's assistance, and receives a welcome reunion with his chief engineer.  Once the Darwin reaches Deep Space 6, the crew are given a short shore leave session while the fate of the Darwin's continued mission status is being determined.
