 Upon beaming to the base, the away team comprised of [[Quentin Collins|LtJG Collins]], [[R'rraww Hontrú|Ens Hontrú]], MC Ness, and the Cardassian attache Sotia Dano, led by [[Randal Shayne|LtCmdr Shayne]] were greeted by a pair of armed security guards. Kai Jabt entered the reception area as soon as the situation was deemed safe (at least safe enough so a fire fight wouldn't immediately break out), and greeted the away team with a broad, charismatic smile. A brief interchange between Jabt and Shayne led the team to be split - Shayne going with Jabt to his office to discuss the matters further while the rest of the team was given a tour of the facility by a Bajoran by the name of Kosst to whom Jabt gave the task.
-Upon entering Jabt's office, Shayne was shocked to see a skeleton wearing a Cardassian military uniform "sitting" in a chair. When asked about the corpse, Jabt referred to the dead man as Chellin: his faithful advisor and friend. (TBC)
+Upon entering Jabt's office, Shayne was shocked to see a skeleton wearing a Cardassian military uniform "sitting" in a chair. When asked about the corpse, Jabt referred to the dead man as Chellin: his faithful advisor and friend. A very brief conversation showed Jabt that Commander Shayne was resolute in his unwillingness to fall in line with the perverse teachings of the "Wraiths." This revelation infuriated the Kai. He called to a shadowy figure standing just outside his office door. Jabt then instructed the individual to escort the unwilling convert to a conversion cell for a "change of heart." The figure acquiesced, and led Shayne from the office. Once alone in his office, Jabt's madness began to surface. He contacted Captain Oddas, using the comm badge he'd confiscated from Shayne. The self-proclaimed Kai was infuriated to meet the same hard-headedness in Oddas. His madness kindled to a combustion point, Jabt ransacked his office, destroying objects and cutting his hands in the process. Storming from his office, he retrieved a disruptor rifle, intent on killing. (Continued below)
-The rest of the away team, being led by Kosst, eventually came upon what could only be referred to as a shrine. Offerings of respect, loyalty, adoration, and honor from several Alpha Quadrant races surrounded a life-sized gold statue of the man they had just seen. Kosst began speaking of faith and becoming part of the congregation. The religious talk was punctuated however, when Hontrú began clutching at his head, then crying out in alarm and pain. Collins also felt some strange effects. His were accented by a visceral sense of communication with ... something. (TBC)
+Meanwhile, the rest of the away team, being led by Kosst, eventually came upon what could only be referred to as a shrine. Offerings of respect, loyalty, adoration, and honor from several Alpha Quadrant races surrounded a life-sized gold statue of the man they had just seen. Kosst began speaking of faith and becoming part of the congregation. The religious talk was punctuated however, when Hontrú began clutching at his head, then crying out in alarm and pain. Collins also felt some strange effects. His were accented by a visceral sense of communication with ... something. Collins fought the influence, eventually overcoming it. The rest of the away team, with varying levels of difficulty, also managed to wrest control of their minds from the influence of the waves of mind-bending energy coming from somewhere near the golden image of Jabt. Kosst was aghast to not only see such resistance, but to see it succeed. She urged them to stop fighting the Wraith's influence - that is would all be easier and better if they submitted to the Will, yet the Starfleet officers (and Dano) kept up their resistance with the best of their ability. (Continued below)
+On the Eagle, with tensions running high and still ramping up, the power flickered and dropped to minimums. Several key systems on the ship were rendered unavailable including computer access, phasers, and tractor beam control. On the bridge, [[Irina Pavlova|LtCmdr Pavlova]] pointed out that they had no way of detecting or preventing a boarding party. Security teams were dispatched immediately to key points throughout the ship while other teams were sent to attempt to regain full control of the Eagle's systems. Lieutenants [[Kayla Drex|Drex]] and [[Hal Mika|Mika]] worked together on a theory Drex had regarding the delta wave energy signatures emanating from the base.
+Interrupting, a boarding party materialized on the bridge, and even in a physically-weakened state, Pavlova handled them readily. This was not without loss though. An Eagle crewman was shot down by the boarders in the fight.
+Drex continued muddling through the application (in theory, as she had no computer access) while Dr. Mika went to sickbay to retrieve an interim personal delta wave blocker solution Drs [[Seamus Fitzpatrick|Fitzpatrick]] and [[Saju Uma|Saju]] had worked up as a result of helping a Betazoid patient suffering from migraines brought on by the waves.
+The power returned nearly to normal for a few brief minutes, during which Lt Drex laid a trap for the next onslaught of Delta waves that would cause a feedback loop, sending the wave back to the source. She wasn't sure exactly what would happen at that point, since they hadn't identified WHAT the source was, but it would deflect the energy from the Eagle. Also during this window of functionality, [[Irina Pavlova|LtCmdr Pavlova]] was able to get some critical information about the station. Unfortunately, a second Cardassian-made ship approached the Eagle and fired three projectiles at the Eagle. The third was the only to successfully cause damage to the Eagle, but it was in a vital spot. The impact was right at deck 7 - where [[Chloe Waters|Lt JG Waters]] and [[Gavin Kinnear|Ens Kinnear]] were working to restore the ship's power. The impact caused emergency forcefields to snap into place, drawing significant energy from the limited reserve, knocking out the power to the newly-restored systems. The sudden (albeit brief) exposure to open space also caused the two officers to be thrown against the internal hull of the ship, which phased Ensign Kinnear brieafly, but rendered Lt Waters unconscious. Kinnear called sickbay, from whence [[Saju Uma|Ens Dr Saju]] was dispatched to the scene to render aid. On the bridge, Pavlova was forced to fire off photon torpedoes using manual targeting at the Cardassian ship, which succumbed to the devastating effects of photonic destructive power.
