 On the Bridge of the Eagle, [[Kettick|Ens Kettick]] worked out a theory by which the delta waves could be counteracted using the personal blockers sickbay had provided. With Lt Drex's help in Science Lab 1, they managed to create a crude-but-functional amplification repeater for the blocker disc. No sooner had they completed a successful test of the device on a gelpack in the lab however, than Lt Drex detected the returning away team ... and an anomaly: the orb Dano had collected. They agreed to meet in Science Lab 2 where Ens Kettick, Lt Drex, and Mr Dano could set up an isolation/containment field for the orb.
-When Jabt woke up, he was infuriated to find the orb gone. By piecing together contextual clues and bits of fleeting memory, he reasoned the Starfleeters had absconded with this prized relic. Retrieving his weapon, he went to a transporter room on the station and beamed onto deck 2 of the Eagle, murdering a crewman as soon as he had re-materialized. He then felt the pull of the orb from nearby, and headed toward a science lab where he believed the orb to be held (TBC)
+When Jabt woke up, he was infuriated to find the orb gone. By piecing together contextual clues and bits of fleeting memory, he reasoned the Starfleeters had absconded with this prized relic. Retrieving his weapon, he went to a transporter room on the station and beamed onto deck 2 of the Eagle, murdering a crewman as soon as he had re-materialized. He then felt the pull of the orb from nearby, and headed down the corridor toward the pull. Unbeknownst to him, the team from the station was still carrying the orb. When they came into sight, Jabt attempted to fire on them, but due to a malfunction of his rifle, was forced to duck inside a science lab. He sealed himself in, and began creating an improvised explosive device with which to cause as much destruction to the ship as possible.
+In the next lab over, [[Kayla Drex|Lt Drex]] and [[Kettick|Ens Kettick]] had managed to get systems within that lab working when they heard weapons going off in the corridor outside. Deciding it best not to step out into the fray, they crawled through the connecting passage between labs 1 and 2 in order to restore systems in there as well. Upon arriving however, they saw a bedraggled and bloody Cardassian assembling a bomb of sorts. Kettick used the lid of a storage container as an improvised weapon to great effect, knocking the would-be bomber out cold in one blow. He then restrained Jabt while the team in the hallways worked on a way to get the lab doors open again.
+Meanwhile, on the bridge, things were not going as smoothly. Pavlova suddenly collapsed, falling from her chair at the Tactical station. Captain Oddas rushed to her wife's side, and called for help. Shortly after, [[Seamus Fitzpatrick|Dr Fitzpatrick]] and [[Hal Mika|Counselor Mika]] arrived, but it was too late to save Irina's life. With chaos swirling inside and outside the ship, the Captain floundered for a moment with possible courses of action, finally settling on the most severe retaliation many of those present had seen from a Starfleet officer. Following a jarring collision from a blasted-off piece of the station, she fired several high-ordinance torpedoes at the station, decimating it. Mika asked her for a word in her ready room, then gave her a full dressing-down. (TBC)
+Back in Science Lab 2, the hallway team managed to get the door open again, and as Kettick worked on the device he'd cobbled together to get the containment field operational, Dano placed the orb on a holding cylinder within the field that would be isolated once systems were up. What the team didn't realize however, was that Jabt had regained consciousness and was inching toward the orb, intent on regaining it at any cost. When he kicked out, dislocating his shoulders (as his hands were bound to his feet), he knocked the orb off its plinth and into his hands. Upon contact with his prize, Jabt began to laugh. From his perspective, he was becoming omniscient and omnipresent - one with the Wraiths. From the team's stunned perspective, even as something large collided with the hull of the ship, they saw a mad, dying man. His laughter turned to screams of agony. The thin crack in the orb began to glow white-hot, roasting Jabt's hands. Instantly and simultaneously, the orb broke in two the instant Jabt's head fell to the deck. He was dead, and so was the orb. The team set to work after regaining their composure on clearing up the "mess" in the lab and getting vital systems back online.
