While the ship was completing a visit to Dehner Base on Delta Vega I, an unknown assailant appeared near the second planet and quickly fired upon the starship. Quick responses from the crew threw the ship into a heavy space battle. The ship's impulse engines were disabled. The crew implemented a plan by Ensign ch'Ranni to fire an ionized nadion beam from the main deflector at the assailant to disrupt their sensors. Lieutenant JG Duyzer suggested a plan to launch a probe to boost the Columbia's own sensors while providing for communication with the enemy vessel. After the failure of the ship's shields, boarding parties beam to the Columbia. Lieutenant Commander Solis and Ensign ch'Ranni encounter a group of hostiles in Deflector Control while another group attacks Main Engineering. | ||
Meanwhile, members of the crew from the attacking ship, the Eildyr, beam to Dehner Base. They have been covertly observing the construction of the new base and are searching for mysterious artifacts recovered from a nearby archeological dig. The discovery of these artifacts by Professor Olivia Sellard's team was intentionally hidden from the Columbia crew. Will the pirates obtain the powerful relics? | |||
