|Under attack, Ens Ells pilots the Darwin away from the majority of the warship's onslaught, while CPO Jellico returns fire.  Holding their own, the Darwin finally succumbs to the superior firepower of their foe and their shields drop.  At this time, the Zakdorn defenses come online, causing Capt Raikenoff on the enemy warship to reconsider his tactics.  As the warship withdraws while appearing to take damage from the defense satellites, Capt Renos orders the crew to press their advantage.  Meanwhile, Ens Lyldra does some research on the enemy captain, and is frustrated to find that the name Raikenoff is most likely an alias.

In Engineering, finding the unconscious intruder gives clues for Ens Logan and Lt Valdivia to work with.  They now know that the intruders are using bio blockers to hide their movements, and are able to develop methods to crudely track the remaining intruder.  Leaving Valdivia to work with Cmdr Walker, Cmdr Thomas and Logan continue their search for the elusive intruder.  Walker struggles to reinstate shields as well as stabilize dropping power levels, and manages to bring shields up just in time to avoid catastrophe.

|Entering a secured room on his ship, Capt Raikenoff has a henchman arouse a bound and unconscious Capt Renos.  Questioning Renos about nir level of knowledge of his plans, Capt Raikenoff uses a torture device to try and break nem.  Alternating between defiance and despair, Renos openly taunts his captor.  The tete-a-tete comes to a conclusion when Renos finally admits to not having any knowledge, and Capt Raikenoff is able to confirm this through a report from his recovered operative.

Receiving a response to his request for supplies, Cmdr Traenor is advised that they will be delivered by {{nrank|Ensign|Mason|Quinn}}, a medical nurse stationed temporarily on Zakdorn.  Meeting Quinn, Traenor leads him back to the patient.  Ens Cook and Ens Manius deduce that the patient will require amputations to be freed, and will have to induce childbirth.

Recalling the Away teams with all due haste, Cmdr Thomas hails Capt Raikenoff on the enemy ship.  Knowing he has the upper hand, Capt Raikenoff is curt and unwilling to parley for long with Thomas.  Ens Lyldra has put in a request to Supervisor Surani for more tactical support from the Zakdorn defense satellites, and her wish is granted.  Hoping to use his hubris against him, Thomas prepares an audacious plan to draw Capt Raikenoff's ship in close enough to be attacked by the Zakdorn defenses and break their shields long enough to beam back Capt Renos.

Foreman Mornay, unnaturally suspicious and feeling quite unwell, finally collapses, and the Away team surmises that she has been poisoned by the airborne toxin.  Handing the vial of toxin jhe had taken from bomb to Cmdr Rennyn, Ens Mpeba retrieves bomb fragments for analysis while Rennyn calls for a beamout.  Using isolinear tags to return to the triage site, the team receives the command to return to the ship.  Meanwhile, Ens Cook and Ens Manius, with the assistance of Ens Quinn, are forced to start amputating the legs of the trapped victim they are treating.  Receiving the orders to return to ship, Cmdr Traenor has the unenviable task of forcing the incredulous doctors to quit their work mid-surgery, leaving the victim to the care of Zakdorn relief teams.

Back on the enemy warship, the two operatives who had escaped from the Darwin are conversing, and as the one admits to killing the rest of the team, Pilot Valek in turn kills her.

Returning to the Darwin, Cmdr Rennyn sends Recruit Iy with the vial of toxin to sickbay for further study, while he and Ens Mpeba make their way to the impromptu command center in Engineering.  Close behind them, Cmdr Traenor, Ens Cook, Ens Quinn, and Ens Manius head to sickbay as well in order to start work on analyzing the toxin.  After a lot of work, it is discovered that the toxin is known by Starfleet, but information on it was redacted and unable to be found through normal searches.

|Cmdr Thomas's plan involves mimicking Capt Raikenoff's earlier ruse, and making the Darwin appear too disabled to maintain orbit.  Thomas orders Cmdr Walker and Ens Mpeba to make preparations to make the Darwin look convincingly disabled, Cmdr Rennyn and Ens Ells to bring the ship into a decaying orbit, and Ens Logan and CPO Jellico to prepare a tactical attack for when the bait is taken.  At Thomas's order, Mpeba cuts all power, Walker drops shields, and Ells drifts the Darwin into the upper atmosphere.  Thomas tries to hail Capt Raikenoff in order to appeal for assistance.
After conferring with Pilot Valek, Capt Raikenoff is finally convinced that it is safe to return Capt Renos.  However, a misunderstanding between Capt Raikenoff and his henchman allows for a near-fatal blow to be struck on Capt Renos, just as the enemy captain is urgently recalled to the bridge.  Cmdr Thomas is broadcasting entreaties for help to Capt Raikenoff's ship, and fearing the wrath of Starfleet should the Darwin be destroyed, Capt Raikenoff moves in to tow the Darwin to a safe orbit.
Once the enemy warship enters range, Cmdr Thomas orders the Darwin's power restored, and has Ens Logan coordinate an attack on the enemy from the Zakdorn defense satellites.  CPO Jellico unleashes the Darwin's full arsenal on them at the same time.  When the enemy ship's shields weaken, Thomas has Lt Valdivia and Ens Lyldra implement their plan to beam back Capt Renos.  Once Renos has been confirmed back on board, the Darwin warps out of the system.  Leaving themselves after the Darwin escapes, Capt Raikenoff fires off one last verbal assault before jumping to warp.

Choosing a program that portrays his Earth homestead, Cmdr Thomas starts off the meeting by making the announcements about Capt Renos's status and the temporary assignment of himself and Cmdr Traenor.  As well, he announces the imminent departure of Cmdr Rennyn to be the First Officer of the USS Columbia, the permanent transfer of Ens Quinn to the Darwin's crew, and that Ens Lyldra will be undertaking diplomatic duties aboard the Darwin.
Cmdr Thomas then has the pleasure of handing out some promotions.  Ens Mpeba is promoted to Lieutenant JG, Ens Lyldra to Lieutenant JG, Lt Valdivia to full Lieutenant, and CPO Jellico is given a field commission to Ensign.  After that, Thomas moves to awarding service ribbons.  Cmdr Rennyn, Capt Renos, and Jellico receive the Purple Heart Ribbon.  Renos, Rennyn, Cmdr Traenor, Thomas, Cmdr Walker, Mpeba, Lyldra, Valdivia, Lt Noros, Ens Ells, Jellico, Ens Logan, Ens Manius, and Ens Block receive the Joint Meritorious Unit Award.  Renos, Thomas, Rennyn, Traenor, Walker, Mpeba, Lyldra, Valdivia, Block, Manius, Logan, Jellico, and Ells receive the UFP Medal of Freedom.  Thomas receives the Legion of Merit.  Valdivia receives the Innovation Ribbon.  Renos receives the Prisoner of War Ribbon.  Traenor, Rennyn, Mpeba, Ens Cook, Manius, Ens Quinn, and Recruit Iy receive the Lifesaving Ribbon.  Renos, Thomas, Walker, Lyldra, Valdivia, Block, Ells, and Logan receive the Silver Star.  Once the awards have been distributed, the senior staff socialize, with all of the attendees being in differing frames of mind depending on their personal situations.  After the ceremony on the holodeck concludes, Thomas makes two more awards of recognition.  Summoning Block and Manius to the first officer's office, he promotes both of them to Lieutenant JG.
