|Title= To New Bajor, Quantum Entanglement, and Beyond!
|Short Description= Officers from the USS Octavia E. Butler visit New Bajor but an unexpected development leads to investigating an accident rather than sampling the culture.
|Long Description=
Yinn, Nilsen, Lieutenant Fer'at, and Ensign Qurgh'Loq gather in Transporter Room 3, Deck 7, preparing for a trip to New Bajor. Yinn expresses a desire to experience authentic Bajoran cuisine rather than replicated food. Nilsen agrees, emphasizing the unique quality of food made by experienced cooks. Loq initially prefers to stay on the ship, but Yinn insists on his participation, humorously enforcing "doctor's orders."
Upon beaming down to New Faren's town center, the officers are greeted by an overwhelming array of food stalls and enticing aromas. Nilsen expresses his excitement for the festival, but soon notices that Yinn and Loq seem slightly dazed. He inquires about their well-being, sensing something off beyond the sensory overload from the food. As the group explores the marketplace, Yinn and Loq begin to act oddly, eventually revealing that they are experiencing a form of quantum entanglement, sharing thoughts and even physical coordination. Already on the surface, Lieutenant Brzezinski bumps into the group, and what she thought would be the greatest discovery of her career (so far).
Fer’at hypothesizes that the transporter was likely the culprit, and Lhandon confirms this based on tricorder scans showing a brief interruption. Rivka detects elevated beta waves and suggests they return to the ship to investigate further. Without more details, the team decides against using the transporters to beam back up, instead opting for a craft. The entangled pair suggest that perhaps the Antari telepathic leaves might be the root cause. The journey to the shuttle was not without problems, both navigating the large crowds as well as helping Yinn and Loq as they struggled to properly control their limbs. As they get in the shuttle, the team talks about taking a cautious approach to this issue, stating concerns around what side effects might come from untangling Yinn and Loq.
Back aboard the USS Octavia E. Butler, the officers head to the science labs and invite Doctor Toz as they try to understand and reverse the entanglement. Yinn/Loq stresses the importance of caution, emphasizing the need to avoid fatal mistakes, and also ending this unintended experiment before understanding the implications of it. Fer'at, prioritizing their safety, proposes a careful and thorough investigation into the phenomenon. The team conducts further scans and finds that Yinn/Loqs tachyons are entangled with other tachyons somewhere else, and perhaps that their counterparts are still orbiting the moon of Alpha Brenkevi where the incorporeal aliens had entangled particles as their neural network.
Through additional experimentation, they finds no immediate solution. Fer'at and Brzezinski discuss the possibility of leaving the situation as it is to avoid causing harm. The group decides to proceed with caution and run extensive tests to gather more data. As they complete the tests, Toz suggest as brain wash which is turned down by the combined officer. Loq mentions practicing yoga for physical therapy and expresses a desire to continue his duties with the Diplomatic Corps. The officers agree to monitor him continuously and utilize new neocortical monitoring systems to collect vital brain data. They acknowledge the potential for groundbreaking scientific research regardless of whether the entanglement is temporary or permanent. Whether temporary or permanent, one things was clear, more scans would be in order for Loq and Yinn.

|Title= Conversations and Confessions
|Short Description= Toxin Arlill and Karen Stendhal discuss Henri, Toxin's holographic companion, and encounter an asteroid during a flight test.
|Long Description=
Lieutenant Toxin Arlill is tasked with collecting supplies needed for the next mission and ongoing science experiments from a nearby mission and is joined by Lieutenant JG Karen Stendhal who is due for their annual runabout piloting certification. As the two chat, Karen starts picking up on Arlill's inner dialogue and as she comments on it to Toxin, he reveals Henri's existence. She tries to communicate telepathically to Arlill and Henri to no avail, but is able to hear and discern both Henri and Arlill's thoughts.
Karen humorously noting how Toxin and Henri seem like an old married couple, which leads to Toxin sharing more about Henri's unique abilities. For example, Henri can experience sensations through Toxin due to their symbiotic connection, and wishes to try a tequila sunrise, showcasing his distinct personality and preferences. Karen shares her experience with the Holographic Counselor Assistant (Ho.C.A.) on the USS Octavia E Butler, drawing parallels between her experience and Toxin's situation. Toxin explains how Henri appeared during a mission to Alpha Brenkelvi II and has since been a constant presence. Despite Toxin's initial hesitation to discuss Henri, Karen's supportive and understanding nature makes it easier for him to open up.
The conversation takes a more serious turn when Toxin reveals the oddity of Henri's existence, noting the potential connection to the ship's computer and the events at Alpha Brenkelvi II. Karen listens attentively, offering her perspective as a counselor and emphasizing the importance of professional secrecy while also acknowledging the need to share crucial information when necessary.
As they navigate the complexities of their discussion, an unexpected obstacle arises. An asteroid suddenly crosses their path, prompting Toxin to quickly punch commands into the navigational controls, firing the RCS thrusters just in time to avoid a collision. The adrenaline rush from the near-miss shifts their focus back to the flight.

|Title= Engineering Mysteries on Deck 15
|Short Description= An unusual discrepancy is investigated in the USS Octavia E. Butler's systems, uncovering potential connections to previous incidents.
|Long Description=
Lieutenant JG Josh Herrick, the Acting Chief Engineer of the USS Octavia E. Butler, is puzzled by a recent incident that landed him in Sickbay after investigating an anomaly in the waste systems on Deck 15. With lingering questions about the computer's behavior and missing medical records, he begins to suspect a deeper issue.
Herrick and Paradi decide to investigate the junction where the anomaly was first detected. As they crawl through the Jefferies tubes, Paradi contacts Ensign Lhandon Nilsen in Operations to monitor their movements and systems. Nilsen, from his post in the Operations Centre, acknowledges the request and starts tracking their progress.
Upon reaching the junction, Herrick detects a minor but suspicious variance in the system, which Paradi also confirms. Despite its negligible size, the discrepancy concerns Herrick due to his recent experiences. Nilsen, connected to Herrick's tricorder, tries to find relevant logs but discovers that crucial incident records, including Herrick's transport to Sickbay, are missing or incomplete. This raises suspicions of the computer attempting to "gaslight" them by erasing evidence.
As they discuss the anomaly, the team speculates about potential issues with the memory core or transporter logs. Herrick recalls intelligence protocols that obscure transport records, adding another layer of complexity to their investigation. Despite the frustrating obfuscation, they consider the possibility that the transporter system might be involved in the anomalies.
Nilsen and Paradi discuss suspending transporter use due to safety concerns, a decision supported by Herrick. They prepare to conduct a test involving biomatter cylinders transported through the problematic junction to gather more data. Despite their precautions, the transport results in chaos as the cylinders arrive in disarray in Tobat's office, further complicating their investigation. The team decides to take the transporters offline until such time that they can be fixed properly.
