Plot Summary
Part 1
The Eagle was chosen as a test ship for the prototype Warp XV drive. The test flight plan was to take the ship through a section of the Aavaro Wilds that contained a collection of anomalous bodies and events, existing together by balancing out the counter-intuitive readings. The thought here was to both test the new drive and study the data gathered in the region without having to be in the vicinity for too long.
The warp test was going smoothly until the Eagle hit Warp 11. At that point, they were pulled violently out of warp, and couldn’t form a warp bubble again. Pulling the ship up short, the crew scrambled to figure out what had just happened, but immediately discovered the comms were down, as were the turbolifts. The crew resorted to sending “runners” to deliver messages by climbing through the Jefferies Tubes.

Went warp 10 and still not a salamander
Part 2
While scanning the immediate area, a strong gravity well pulled the Eagle toward its source. A mass of unidentified composition was detected at the source of the well, and not wanting to crash, the landing gear was lowered, and the ship came to a rough but safe landing on the surface. Teams were dispatched throughout the ship to deploy a temporary communications array.
While plans were being made and analysis done of the situation, a ship of unknown make or origin was detected on a direct intercept course with the Eagle, but it appeared the ship was not being affected by the gravity well like the Eagle had been. Shortly thereafter, intruders were detected on-board the Eagle, accompanied by automated drones.
Lieutenant Blackwell was sent to repair the communication system while Lt Commander Pavlova and Ensign Westwood went in search of answers regarding the boarding party. Meanwhile unbeknownst to them, Crewman Jorus and Lieutenant JG Collins had been rendered unconscious by some energy weapon used by the intruders as they were instructed to collect "live samples."
