'''The Show Must Go On''': Theo expresses excitement at the prospect of Lady Shadonna- his favourite singer- performing on the station and arranges for most of the senior staff to attend the concert with him. When Shadonna's transport breaks down on the independent world of New Scotland, [[Sal Taybrim|Taybrim]] orders Theo to lead an away team to bring the diva to the station. Arriving at the New Scotland colony, the XO is dismayed to realise that reports of her diva-like behaviour have not been exaggerated. Shortly afterwards, the away team, Shadonna and her manager- Basil Hobbs- are attacked by Orions using a Ferengi vessel and are knocked out by a boarding party. Coming to, Theo quickly makes sure that everyone is alright and when the leaders of the Orions suggest torturing the Lady Shadonna, he nobly volunteers himself instead. He is tortured repeatedly by an Orion woman known as Yillara Khante, who he deliberately provokes and calls a 'second rate Chennel'. Despite his agony, he manages to break free thanks to rusted pipe and regroups with his away team- who have also managed to escape. They eventually end up in the Krayvet's computer core, where Theo assigns Ensign [[Taelon]] to sabotage the ship as much as he can. During a firefight with the Orions, he is injured further and witnesses Lieutenant Commander [[Kaitlyn Falcon]] killing Khante in a bloody and brutal fight between the two women. He has to force himself past his injuries to remain conscious- finally suucumbing to them after they are rescued by a team led by Lieutenant Commander [[Trellis Vondaryan]]. He comes to in the USS Albion's sickbay several hours later where it becomes obvious that he is struggling to come terms with what has happened. In a conversation with Captain Taybrim, he expresses his desire to the resign from Starfleet life- but agrees to hold off on a final decision until he has thought it through with a clearer head. To make matters worse, upon returning to the station- Theo discovers Baylen has terminated their relationship and has taken Mase to raised on Risa, believing Starbase 118 to be too dangerous. After embarking on a wild night out with [[Mirra Ezo]], [[Tatash]] and Lady Shadonna as a knee-jerk response, Theo visits [[T'Sai Reyes]]- a member of the station's counseling staff- for advice on how to deal with his problems. | '''The Show Must Go On''': Theo expresses excitement at the prospect of Lady Shadonna- his favourite singer- performing on the station and arranges for most of the senior staff to attend the concert with him.

''' | '''Dig Two Graves''': Theo reports to the Albion as First Officer-putting aside his doubts on the future of his career. He learns that Haz Arrihman has captured a Romulan warbird and is launching attacks on Klingon border worlds in the hopes of triggering an instellar war between the empire and the fractured Romulans. He is assigned to work with [[Valdar Sorna]], [[Ziron Antraydin]] to ready the engineering and science departments and subsequently orders a two pronged plan to detect Arrihman's warbird in and out of warp. The battle with Arrihmen is brutal and Albion suffers extensive damage, which requires Theo take over the engineering repair efforts. He and Antraydin put out an electrical fire in the torpedo control room before he works with [[Taelon]] to modify torpedoes to ignite the Jenatris Cloud. He oversees the evacuation of Main Engineering and is the only officer left in the room when the shockwave rips apart the secondary hull. He narrowly escapes death yet again and then has to eject the core when a core breach begins before assisting Taybrim into activating the self destruct system. Theo watches the Albion's destruction from a Klingon battlecruiser on which returns to Starbase 118 on but not before personally meeting a Councillor of the High Council and attending the Klingon equivalent of a wake. Several days later he is overjoyed to discover that Starfleet have assigned the [[USS Columbia]] as a replacement for the Albion. He also confides in Ensign [[Aitas]] that his doubts over his career were unfounded and felt as though he belonged with Ops. | ||
