The Columbia and her crew have resumed their mission of exploration in the Sagittarius Reach. They are entering a desolate region with little in the way of interest. Without warning, one of the navigation buoys previously laid by the ship- Sextant Alpha- stops transmitting and Columbia alters course to investigate. Dropping out of warp they find the buoy has been destroyed, although the debris field also includes wreckage of a small starship. Newly arrived Science Officer Ensign [[Rebecca Owens]] decodes the last message the buoy sent which seems to confirm a battle took place and the presence of a spatial anomaly. It is then that a distress call is received from an alien vessel adrift near the battle site. The crew move to respond, with Commander [[Jarred Thoran]] leading a team to the vessel to render aid, while Captain Whittaker and the remaining bridge crew work to ascertain what happened. Newly appointed Acting Chief Science Officer [[Pholin Duyzer]] and Ensign Owens bring some samples of the debris cloud on board while Ensign [[James Colquhoun]] and Assistant Chief of Operations [[Jona ch'Ranni]] keep the ship prepped for unexpected surprises. | The Columbia and her crew have resumed their mission of exploration in the Sagittarius Reach.

Aboard the stricken craft- known as the ''Eldae'', the away team make contact with the Shanshuri, a race of diminutive felinoids. The ''Eldae'''s Captain, Kraia Csuuri is frustratingly vague about what happened the vessel while Doctor [[Anath G'Renn]] and Ensign [[Karen Stendhal]] find irregularities in the treatment of the injured crew. Elsewhere, Duyzer and Owens find evidence that the debris field was planted and not the result of a battle as previously believed. Ensign [[James Colquhoun]] spots that the Eldae may be scanning the Columbia and Captain Whittaker and Lieutenant [[Jona ch'Ranni]] discover an unexploded torpedo lodged in the ship's drive section while in a workbee. Suspicious about the amount of lucky escapes and coincidences that have occurred, Captain Whittaker returns to the Columbia- just in time for the ''Eldae'' to apparently explode and claiming the lives of the away team. | Aboard the stricken craft- known as the ''Eldae'', the away team make contact with the [[Shanshuri]], a race of diminutive felinoids.
