In route to the nebula, Commander Thoran's team devises a plan whereby a probe is modified to send out false sensor signals matching those of the Columbia. Two other probes are altered to use millimeter radar technology and mobile tractor emitters to find and hopefully anchor the Eildyr in place when it attacks. Ensign Colquhoun also suggests the use of positively charged photon torpedoes to generate electrical discharges inside the nebula to fore the Eildyr from its secure spot. Unfortunately, the captain of the Eildyr realizes the sensor signal is false and launches an antimatter torpedo of his own at Columbia, mirroring their tactic of a fake transponder signal. The torpedo detonates near the Columbia but it escapes into the nebula to continue the fight. | In route to the nebula, Commander Thoran's team devises a plan whereby a probe is modified to send out false sensor signals matching those of the Columbia.

The crew's next tactic involves stopping all movement near the launched probes, as the displacement through the nebula was giving the probe away as a false reading. When the Eildyr emerges and fires at the Columbia, the proximity detonator on their missile mistakes a probe for the Columbia. The Starfleet vessel is able to use the modified torpedoes to create an interaction with the nebula's particles and drain the Eildyr's shields. An away team of Thoran, Tatash, MacKenna, Solis, and Lor transport aboard the enemy ship. | |||
The away team begins to uncover some strange details aboard the Eildyr. They discover a kill room with nozzles that dispense toxic substances. A creature communicates with Lieutenant Lor telepathically and warns them about the danger of the Tkon artifact. At the same time, Captain Tarius Kaironn speaks with Captain Whittaker. After a brief display of resistance the enemy captain throws himself on Whittaker's mercy and offers himself in exchange for the freedom of his ship and crew. | |||
