As the Juneau is surveying the planet Anadasa, an M-class world inhabited by a pre-industrialized civilization, the Tactical Department detects a crashed Borg ship deep within the planet’s ocean.
Plot Summary
Part 1
After the mission briefing, the Captain orders two teams down to the planet. One team led by herself, to explore the city of Da’Al, where the scientists have picked up on faint traces of a plasma-based energy source as well as traces of an element called Paralithium (a substance used as fuel for some ion-based propulsion systems). The other team, led by XO Qinn, is sent to the Borg wreckage in the ocean. With both the Captain and First Officer down on the planet, Second Officer T'Lea takes command of the Juneau.
Part 2
As Captain Oddas and the Away Team, consisting of Acting Chief of Security/Tactical Kendrick and newly promoted science officer Lieutenant JG Falt - one of Juneau’s anthropology experts -, beam down to the planet, they start exploring the city outskirts. While walking down one of the streets, a young girl on the run for three hooded men, bumps into the Captain. The Captain reacts on instinct and pushes the girl into an artistry store to hide her from the men that were following her.
After the shuttlecraft has departed for the Borg wreckage, the ship’s sensors detect a structure on one of Anadasa’s moons. Commander T’Lea orders the ship to set course for the moon to investigate.
