Back on Zakdorn, two individuals stumble into the shuttle where pilot Mar Valek is waiting impatiently, and instructs her to leave immediately. One person is missing, but unable to wait the shuttle shoots up into the atmosphere. Before reaching space, they detect the Darwin entering orbit. Having little chance of evading the starship, pilot Mar Valek tries a daring maneuver to trip up the Darwin by flying straight at it. | Back on Zakdorn, two individuals stumble into the shuttle where pilot Mar Valek is waiting impatiently, and instructs her to leave immediately.

During the security meeting, Lt Noros assigns CPO Jellico to check on the torpedo magazines, while assigning Ens Logan and Recruit Iy to check on the ship's armory. Having second thoughts, Noros then decides that all four will go together to check on the armory as a team exercise. After conversing on the way, they arrive at the armory and undergo a familiarization tour for the benefit of Iy. The tour is cut short when the Darwin goes to yellow alert approaching Zakdorn. Ordering Jellico to report to the Tactical station on the bridge, Noros and the other two security officers await further information. | [[Image:Weaponslocker.jpg|150px|thumb|right|USS Darwin Armory]]During the security meeting, Lt Noros assigns CPO Jellico to check on the torpedo magazines, while assigning Ens Logan and Recruit Iy to check on the ship's armory.

With the shuttle approaching the Darwin and no response to hails, Capt Renos puts the ship on red alert and suggests capturing the shuttle in a tractor beam. The situation on the surface being dire, Renos chooses Cmdr Traenor to head an Away team to beam down to Zakdorn and provide assistance. Having no luck scanning the shuttle from Astrometrics, Lt Valdivia reports to the bridge. | With the shuttle approaching the Darwin and no response to hails, Capt Renos puts the ship on red alert and suggests capturing the shuttle in a tractor beam.

|Back on the bridge, Cmdr Thomas suggests bringing the shuttle into the Darwin's containment sphere. Lt Valdivia points out that their scanning abilities on the shielded shuttle might be more effective from within the sphere. CPO Jellico suggests using a sensor probe, slung around the planet, to perhaps get a passive scan on the shuttle. Cmdr Walker reports from Engineering on the compromised status of the Darwin's shields, though the engineers are able to temporarily bring them up to acceptable status. Ens Ells entreaties Cmdr Traenor to include her on the Away team. Traenor advises Ells that he is unable to honor her request at this time, and starts assembling other officers to join on the Away mission. Traenor summons Cmdr Rennyn off the bridge, Ens Cook and Ens Manius from sickbay, and Ens Mpeba from Engineering. | |[[Image:Darwintractor.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Capturing the shuttle with a tractor beam]]Back on the bridge, Cmdr Thomas suggests bringing the shuttle into the Darwin's containment sphere.

Ens Lyldra, after several attempts, manages to speak to a representative of the Zakdorn government. They agree to assist the Darwin's efforts, but only in exchange for allowing the representative to come aboard. However, with the risk of the shuttle, it is decided that the request of the Zakdorn supervisor cannot be granted, however the Darwin would be willing to share all sensor feeds with the government. | Ens Lyldra, after several attempts, manages to speak to a representative of the Zakdorn government.

|Arriving at the factory complex on Zakdorn, the Away team are shocked and awed by the damage. Damaged buildings and debris from explosions are seemingly everywhere, there are still fires burning, and smoke and toxic gas fills the air. Cmdr Traenor, Ens Cook, and Ens Manius start searching for a suitable triage site, while Cmdr Rennyn, Ens Mpeba, and Recruit Iy begin their search for survivors. | |[[Image:Factorycomplex.jpg|150px|thumb|right|The scene on Zakdorn]]Arriving at the factory complex on Zakdorn, the Away team are shocked and awed by the damage.

Arriving in the cargo bay, Cmdr Thomas, Lt Valdivia, and Ens Logan discuss a plan of action. Thomas wants to bring the rear of the shuttle half into the bay, to minimize the chance of the shuttle using it's weapons while inside the ship. Valdivia suggests modulations to the tractor beam, in order to try and force the shields to fail on the shuttle. Logan has reservations about bringing a fully shielded shuttle, with unknown weapons capabilities, even partway into the cargo bay. Coordinating with those in the cargo bay, CPO Jellico on the bridge is able to get some vague readings before implementing Valdivia's tractor beam suggestion. Logan implements some environmental safeguards in the cargo bay as the shuttle is brought in. The shuttle's shields are disabled, and sensing ability restored, but it is discovered that there are no lifesign readings on the shuttle. Cracking open the shuttle, Thomas, Logan, and Valdivia are able to confirm that the shuttle is indeed empty. Once the shuttle is secured, Valdivia requests that Logan deactivate the environmental safeguards he had implemented before. Scanning the shuttle's altered memory banks, Valdivia is able to determine that weapons fire occurred on the shuttle, and that there is a vague list of potential sites that the occupants might have beamed to. | Arriving in the cargo bay, Cmdr Thomas, Lt Valdivia, and Ens Logan discuss a plan of action.
