In a flash of white light, Gnai found itself unadorned with mirrors and staring up at the snow falling from an open sky onto the austere grey walls of some sort of prison complex. Much to its delight, Captain [[Addison MacKenzie]] of the {{USS|Artemis-A}} was nearby - it had recognized her from the PADD that had displayed its deployment orders as it left the Academy - as well as the two Vulcans: Ensign [[Savel]] and Lieutenant Commander [[Salkath]]. Trying to get ahead of any future questions, it announced itself to the captain, and rattled off the details of the mission that it had just abruptly departed. This was met with the first of what would likely be many eyebrow-raises from Ens. Savel <ref>{{Logo|USS Artemis-A|30}}[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/r8UDXn575xI/m/ZUHL2_FQAAAJ Captain, I've A Feeling We're Not On Romulus Anymore], Ens.

Introductions were short, if they happened at all, and the group of Starfleet officers shortly found out that they were in fact personae non gratae at the complex. A Betazoid woman reacted negatively to any attempts at contact, and soon they found themselves staring down a brutish jailer and his four guards.

The guards restrained the officers, dragging them away for an unclear 'further processing', into the drab and monotonous interior of the prison. When they finally stopped, the jailer informed them that they were being charged with "High Crimes against the Dominion" - terrorism and conspiracy - which would be punished with hard labor. Gnai was worried, immensely so, that it was being charged for its connection to the assassination of the Romulan Senator in 2374... somehow <ref>{{Logo|USS Artemis-A|30}}[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/j6lVbA5pI6Y/m/ZN43KHwKBQAJ It's Treason Then], Ens.

Savel's gut - the jailer revealed to the team that their crime was attempting a coup d'état on a Dominion-controlled colony. And that Starfleet and the Federation had declared such an act to be unsanctioned. Gnai instantly began to worry for real now about the assassination and the consequences that it might face for such an act, pontificating on it while they were escorted from the processing to their cells. Locked away next to Lt. Cmdr. Salkath and across from Cpt. MacKenzie and Ens. Savel, Gnai's worries only grew as it realized the magnitude of what they had all done prior to arriving at the prison. It didn't help that the other prisoners of the cell block they were in were vocally displeased about their chatter <ref>{{Logo|USS Artemis-A|30}}[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/GR9PZNl6BLc Actually Captain, It's Called A Prison], Ens.

The team planned for the following day: splitting up to talk with the others and hoping that this would prove less adverse reactions from the general populace. While stuck in their cells overnight, Gnai and Lt. Cmdr. Salkath chatted briefly, with the Lt. Cmdr. offering to inspect Gnai's containment suit for damage the following day, which it appreciated. Gnai also suspected that the walls were made of a composite of duranium after closer inspection, passing this along to Lt. Cmdr. Salkath <ref>{{Logo|USS Artemis-A|30}}[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/s715AcpuIWc/m/WIWGySBqAgAJ Chatting With The Neighbor], Ens. Gnai, {{USS|Artemis-A}}, 240103.28</ref>.

| style="width: 60%;" | Much like Ens. Savel, Gnai met Lt. Cmdr. Salkath in prison. He didn't raise an eyebrow at it. Perhaps Gnai had made a better first impression on him. It hoped that much, at least. Having such a massive moral dilemma as a first mission was bound to lead to some strange impressions.

When imprisoned in adjoining cells, he offered to inspect Gnai's containment suit for damages. Gnai was very appreciative of this offer, as while it had a modicum of engineering experience, having an actual engineer to help would be far better.
