With the horde of shadow creatures bearing down on sickbay, things became more interesting.  Lt. Commander Cody joined the chaos, fresh from parts unknown and places without fresh clothes.  While accepting that transfer, Commander Nicholotti denied Lt. Commander Walker's request for transfer to eternity.  Meanwhile, Lt. Commander Breeman and Ensign Livingston determined from the scans that while many of the shadows were the creatures, some were the remnants of the crew from the USS Calgary.  Further, the scans revealed that all of the shadows were beginning to fade, and that the scanning process was increasing their dissipation.  Realizing that the shadows were a threat to SB118, Commander Nicholotti gave the order to increase the scanning rate, reducing the remaining time of the shadows to one hour. 
 
Feeling themselves fading away, the creatures made an offer. If they were allowed to leave through a strange device provided by the future Orman, they would restore the crew of the Calgary.  Even realizing that sending them back to the nebula they had came from would likely lead to the creatures deaths, it was decided that the risk was too great to allow them to stay.  Opening the portal, the shadows fled back to their home, and the crew began the process of recovering.
