|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 Dunbar's sickbay, Jorey has arrived seeking treatment for his apparent sightings of apparitions.  Yael and Malon check him over, finding no physical or mental reasoning for any hallucinations.  Still, just then Jorey experiences another premonition, this time of armed troops advancing on the sickbay.  Malon, being telepathic much like Jorey, is nontheless unable to sense what he does.  The images and feeling falling on him alone, to be safe Jorey recalls Dragumov to his location to and starts conducting detailed scans.


[[Image:rift.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Zeta Gelis rift]]Working in tandem now, the engineering and science officers on the bridge of the Darwin posit a theory that a modified tractor beam might work at freeing the Dunbar, if carefully timed to the peculiarities of the rift.  Renos requests the bridge officers to look for a solution to beam everyone off of the crippled freighter.
[[Image:rift.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Zeta Gelis rift]]Working in tandem now, the engineering and science officers on the bridge of the Darwin, with the assistance of Shedet, posit a theory that a modified tractor beam might work at freeing the Dunbar, if carefully timed to the peculiarities of the rift.  Renos requests the bridge officers to look for a solution to beam everyone off of the crippled freighter.  Both Valdivia and Shedet have theories as to how to accomplish this.

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.
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 the intended result of lessening the rift's gravimetric spikes.
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.
