An impromptu beachside brainstorming session provides the first glimmer of hope that the officers and crew of the Veritas may have a chance of returning home, but the odds are long and the margin for error is non-existent. The planet itself seems to resist their efforts as a titanic storm wracks the camp while a small team works against an impossible clock to restore the Veritas and free the crew before the ship plummets to a fiery end. | An impromptu beachside brainstorming session provides the first glimmer of hope that the officers and crew of the Veritas may have a chance of returning home, but the odds are long and the margin for error is non-existent.

After discovering that time on the planet is flowing more quickly than it is for the outside universe, Engineers Geoffrey Teller and Wil Ukinix, working with Captain Rosharana Rahman, Commander Evan Delano and stranded time traveler Jhalib Ekal, have devised a plan to transport a small repair team aboard the Veritas, moments after the crew was originally evacuated more than three months prior. This complex and dangerous plan will buy the team a few hours in which they can attempt to repair the sabotage to the Veritas, refuel it with whatever they can find on board, and neutralize the temporal anomaly which keeps the crew trapped outside of time on the moon below. | After discovering that time on the planet is flowing more quickly than it is for the outside universe, Engineers Geoffrey Teller and Wil Ukinix, working with Captain Rosharana Rahman, Commander Evan Delano and stranded time traveler Jhalib Ekal, have devised a plan to transport a small repair team aboard the Veritas, moments after the crew was originally evacuated more than three months prior.

Elsewhere on the planet, newly promoted Lieutenant Junior Grade G'var leads a long distance scouting team consisting of Ensign Wil Ukinix, Doctor Cole Maxwell and observer Fleet Captain Kells and on a perilous search for additional survivors deep within the jungles of Limbo. Called back to Camp Rahman, Fleet Captain Kells and his security escort leave the team dangerously undermanned when disaster strikes. The scouting team is attacked by a savage jungle predator and G'var is maimed while defending her team, but they successfully drive back the terrible beast and make contact with Captain Felecia Nickson's encampment, where Doctor Maxwell struggles to keep G'var alive as Captain Nickson obsesses about a supposed thief in their midst. Marshall Henning Hext and Lt. Cmdr. Alora Deveau are relived to discover much of the crew survived the evacuation and plans are made for the perilous overland journey back to Camp Rahman. | Elsewhere on the planet, newly promoted Lieutenant Junior Grade G'var leads a long distance scouting team consisting of Ensign Wil Ukinix, Doctor Cole Maxwell and observer Fleet Captain Kells and on a perilous search for additional survivors deep within the jungles of Limbo.
