Lt Pond stated. “What a sad fate. It might have waited millennia for this moment, only to break down. Maybe we can take it back to the Darwin, to study it in a lab… In our own lab, of course.” | Lt Pond stated. “What a sad fate. It might have waited millennia for this moment, only to break down.

As the team worked to stabilize Lambert, the obelisk opened and an intense violet light filled the hall. Upon Lambert's revival, the officers tried to understand what happened and what the mysterious intelligence meant by threatening to "reassemble" him. After weighing the risks7, LtCmdr Stennes made the decision that the entire team would enter the obelisk together to discover its intentions for Lambert. | As the team worked to stabilize Lambert, the obelisk opened and an intense violet light filled the hall.

The air control systems were highly advanced but had been without maintenance for untold number of years. Their access to systems was limited but they had control of environmental systems automatic maintenance drones. They came up with a plan to redistribute them to accommodate for area unable to cope with the added stress of the volcano. Once the last robotic maintenance drone was in place, another hidden doorway had appeared this one led them to the lift they had first entered in. | The air control systems were highly advanced but had been without maintenance for untold number of years.

Hars suggests looking for water and Cook suggests looking for signs of life. After a moment of contemplation R’Ven agrees. However when his attempts to check in both with the Darwin and then Renos fail, he explains that now they not only must explore, but they also have to find a way out. As Hars started scanning, R'Ven walked a few meters down the overgrown path leading to the first settlement. With still no signs of life showing on his screens something pulled R’Ven off of his feet and into the brush! | Hars suggests looking for water and Cook suggests looking for signs of life.

After taking a short time to recover the trio make their way out into the city. An investigation reveals a town that is completely void of any lifeforms higher than that of simple vermin. However they quickly discover that while much of the city is covered in vegetation, it is constructed from the architecture of several different worlds: Hirogen, Kazon, Krenim, Ocampan, Talaxians, Trabe and Vidiian, but also some from the Alpha Quadrant, most notably Romulan . . . and human! | ||
The rest of the day is spent making their way through the city and then across into the warzone between the two cities. They set up camp about halfway in between. The warzone itself it a broken land and it has very little in the way of vegetation, as if what ever happened has retarded growth and recovery. | |||
The next day sees R’Ven, Cook and Hars inside the next city, but this one is very different. Rather than being constructed of multiple designs it has only one and the most unique feature is a temple at the center of the city with a glowing energy field surrounding it. The rest of the city is at best called non-descript, almost featureless. It looked as if it could be equally at home on almost any world. | |||
An investigation of this city revealed very little. While featureless it also had homes, stores, diners, a hotel and a city center and what seemed like an power distribution room of some sort that had been damaged or sabotaged. When they came out and went towards the temple they met a being that identified itself only as Arden and that they did not belong there. | |||
R’Ven’s tricorder and Borg enhanced eyes revealed that it was real but nothing more. A series of questions revealed several things, that their presence was unbalancing some sort of equation, that the creature recognized them as being from the alpha quadrant, and that the equation was already known at least partly in the alpha quadrant as the D’arden, the Thoth configuration and the Valenzetti Equation | |||
However there would be no more answers as the being calling itself Arden raised its staff and they all appeared back at the gateway with no way back into the sphere. | |||
They were the first team to return. | |||
