-On the surface of Emisa III, the away team—consisting of Lieutenant Ohnari and Ensign Zerva, led by Lieutenant Hobart—follows the cave-dwelling force that ambushed them to a large underground settlement. They are informed of the people's perilous existence, and are taken to meet the clan's leader, Senna Kor. Kor at first entreats with the away team, but when Lieutenant Hobart defers to his superiors, Kor orders that they be tranquilized, and a hail of poison darts knocks the team unconscious.
+On the surface of Emisa III, the away team—consisting of Lieutenant Ohnari and Ensign Zerva, led by Lieutenant Hobart—follows the cave-dwelling force that ambushed them to a large underground settlement. They are informed of the people's perilous existence, and are taken to meet the clan's leader, Senna Kor. Kor at first entreats with the away team, explaining that the "Death Towers" (the Lunar Emisan's remote drill sites) cause widespread death and destruction and will likely bring their cave down on top of them. When Lieutenant Hobart defers to his superiors, Kor orders that they be tranquilized, and a hail of poison darts knocks the team unconscious.
 On the moon over Emisa III, Captain Shayne's team continues to press for information on the Emisan development project. Director Kellen gets more specific in their request for aid, and asks for a great number of materials. Lieutenant Jacin suggests, and the Captain agrees, that ''Arrow'' could provide significant resources through [[The_Forge_(USS_Arrow)|the Forge]]. The Captain orders Commander Adyr to get to work, acknowledging that so long as the Forge is active, ''Arrow'' will be vulnerable.

-Lieutenant Hobart's team awaken, stripped of their gear and their uniforms, and suspended in iron cages.
+Lieutenant Hobart's team awakens, stripped of their gear and their uniforms, and suspended in iron cages. None too happy, they confront their captors, who subject them to lengthy explanation of the reasons for their actions. Lieutenant Hobart offers to give his EV suit to Senna Kor, if she agrees to release the others. Together, he suggests, they can return to the shuttle on the surface and fly back to ''Arrow''. Kor refuses, saying that she cannot leave her people in their final days. She urges Hobart to advocate for them to the "Moon People." When Hobart refuses, citing the Prime Directive, she lets them all go, accepting defeat. As the away team prepares to return to the surface, Kor consults her clan elders, who urge her to leave and join the Away Team. She relents, and catches up to them on their way out. With a rebreather seemed sufficient to protect her biology, they return to the surface and the waiting shuttle.

+On the moon, Captain Shayne's team determines that the most likely explanation for the explosion is that there are still people alive on the surface.  Lieutenant Zenno fakes gastroenterological distress, allowing the away team to apply diplomatic pressure on the Emisans to be forthright. Eventually Colonel Nokell concedes the truth, but insists they have no way of helping the "barbarians" on the surface, and that the mining is necessary to gather the resources to build upon their warp ship technology, to create a colony ship. The moon's resources are stretched thin, and draconian measures like limits on reproduction have been needed.

+The ''Arrow'' reports to the Captain that Hobart's team is returning, and that the production in the Forge is under way.
