Aboard Arrow, Ergaholz has revealed to Ander, Caden, and Serinus that the signals they've received from Theta 122 match Iconian signals the Sheliak have recorded elsewhere. The science team begins working on a way to destroy the Iconian portal before it can fall in the hands of the Sheliak or anyone else. On the bridge, Alvarez and Waters have discovered the fate of the away team's shuttle, and figured out a way to regain contact with the away team via a jury-rigged probe that can float in the atmosphere to avoid the interference still hanging there. As Grettze leaves the Arrow, he takes an interest in the probe and crashed shuttle and sets a course for the surface. Waters hails the Sheliak Captain, and makes an attempt to explain the error of his ways with limited success. Shayne rejoins the pair on the bridge, and as he comes up to speed, a massive bloom of Iconian energy is set off as the portal begins to repair and reopen. | Aboard Arrow, Ergaholz has revealed to Ander, Caden, and Serinus that the signals they've received from Theta 122 match Iconian signals the Sheliak have recorded elsewhere.

On Theta 122, Collins gathers his officers and starts to make a break for the surface, when the Brotherhood begin wade into the waters as a whole - clearly intent on sacrificing their life energies to Thet, likely under the same kind of mind-influence as Regan was. Discovering Kal is falling under the influence as well, they quickly phaser him on a low setting to set him free, but time is running out to save the Brotherhood from their unfortunate fate. In an attempt to communicate with the awakening Iconian, Collins makes a decision to plunge himself into the water and confront Thet telepathically. He manages to make contact, and discovers Thet isn't just in physical pain, but feeling rage at the isolation and abandonment of his entire kind. He attempts to make his case that carbon lifeforms can understand that, but is struggling to. Feeling his plight, R'Ariel joins Collins in the sort of liminal space he's in as Kal, DeBarres, and Wilde try to keep them being absorbed by Thet with just a rope from the shore. | On Theta 122, Collins gathers his officers and starts to make a break for the surface, when the Brotherhood begin wade into the waters as a whole - clearly intent on sacrificing their life energies to Thet, likely under the same kind of mind-influence as Regan was.

Realizing the Iconian's pain, Collins attempts to convince the foreign mind that carbons understand pain too. During the struggle, suddenly Father Morgan realizes himself, possibly released because of R'Ariel's and Collins' efforts. He decides to sacrifice his life in a fiery blaze of weapons explosion, saving his flock from being sacrificed to Thet. R'Ariel releases some psionic energy as he does, encouraging Thet to release, and go in peace - whether that's to death or somewhere else. | ||
On the ship, Shayne has taken back over the bridge, and after some deliberation, orders the ship into the atmosphere of Theta 122 to deliver a burst to the Iconian portal. The ship dives, surviving thanks to some last-minute shield modulations and skillful piloting. The blast arrives at the same time as the blast on the surface, and between the energies, the interference caused by the portal and the Iconian begin to dissipate. Wilde calls in an emergency transport, and the away team is whisked away, having suffered some injuries. During Arrow's attempt to escape, the Sheliak mothership finally makes a reappearance, but seems uninterested in the Federation ship. The Sheliak begin beaming away stranded survivors, apparently intent on returning them at a later date. Finally, a message is beamed to the ship from Starbase 821, indicating a separate deal has been worked out by the diplomatic core, and finally providing relief to the beleaguered ''Arrow''. | |||
