* Commander Jal Desoa & Lieutenant [[Petra Bjarnadottir]]: Triumphant senior crew members who were stranded on the Sasu Gol once both the Sasu Gol and Triumphant ran out of power. Their survival hung in the balance given the hostile conditions of the starship and the terrors the Rift had hurled against them. | |||

After fleeing the madness unleashed by Diir, the team arrived at Engineering, finding it riddled with homemade traps that prevented them from easily reaching the warp core. As they carefully made their way towards it, they encountered the missing members of the Triumphant away team: Commander Jal Desoa and Lieutenant [[Petra Bjarnadottir]]. | |||
After some initial tensions, they teamed up to separate the umbilical and allow the triumphant to escape or be towed out of the Rift. No sooner had they accomplished their goal, however, than the group was attacked by the mass of shadow that Diir had joined. | |||
The creature managed to trap both [[Alieth]] and [[Petra Bjarnadottir]] and, while Commander Jal Desoa managed to wrench the latter from the creature's arms, Lieutenant [[Cory Stoyer]] failed to restrain the Vulcan, who was apparently consumed by the creature. | |||
After a few minutes of doubt and confusion, the team discovered that [[Alieth]]'s combadge was still reactive, locating her in the Freighter's cargo bay. They went there not only to find the Vulcan visibly agitated, but there was an unearthly sound coming from a strangely crafted artefact, which seemed to be summoning the Rift creatures around them. | |||
Losing her temper and driven mad by the experience and the disturbing sound, [[Alieth]] set out to destroy the device, and [[Cory Stoyer]]'s attempts to stop her only served to further enrage the Vulcan, who lashed out, injuring him badly. | |||
After that unfortunate encounter, the lieutenant destroyed the device, but the subsequent explosion caused one of the fragments to severely injure Desoa, endangering his life. Despite desperate attempts to keep him breathing, Desoa's health deteriorated dramatically, and he confessed that he and the Tyrellians knew of the creatures, calling them "Taniwha", and devoted some intense words to [[Petra Bjarnadottir]], of a much more personal nature. Before she could elaborate much more on the matter, Lieutenant Commander [[Caedan Nkai]] confirmed that the Gorkon had regained power and the use of the transporters, and transported the group directly to the Sickbay, but not before Alieth retrieved a fragment of the wrecked device. | |||
Once there, the Vulcan hijacked an operating theatre to tend to Desoa while the rest of the group remained behind to catch up on more personal matters. | |||
