The Tal Shiar's approval wasn't all encompassing.  Several areas were designated off limits, which didn't stop the crew from working around it.  Using a combination of methods, the crew determined that items on the ground were showing differing rates of carbon decay.  And the amounts of decay, not so coincidentally, were largest in the areas that the Tal Shiar had restricted scans.  More interesting yet was the fact that those areas were all adjacent to waterways, as if items were being transported there.
On the ground, Fleet Captain Nicholotti and Lieutenant Commander Brek, fought a diplomatic battle to move toward the source of the problem.  Unfortunately, despite their efforts and the assurances of the Tal Shiar, it was only after the Captain demanded to move that they were able to do so.  But before they could leave, there was an assassination attempt on the acting Director Pondahk's life.  The attempt failed, but only reinforced the director's desire to stay with the Captain.
Throughout the process, the doctors worked to find out what they could about the plague, but only came to understand that it was 100% communicable, and everyone who'd been exposed had eventually died.  Until two hybrids were discovered who had been exposed and had survived.  Interestingly enough, one of them was Lieutenant Luna Walker, who was supposed to be on Lambda Hydrae!
