After discovering that time on the moon is flowing more quickly than it is for the outside universe, engineers [[Geoffrey Teller]] and [[Wil Ukinix]], working with Captain [[Roshanara 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 moon is flowing more quickly than it is for the outside universe, engineers [[Geoffrey Teller]] and [[Wil Ukinix]], working with Captain [[Roshanara 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.

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 relieved to discover much of the crew survived the evacuation and plans are made for the perilous overland journey back to Camp Rahman. | ||

In the jungle, the scouting team struggles across flooded ground and overturned trees while carrying their injured comrade back to Camp Rahman. Wary after losing one of their own to G'vars blade earlier, several vicious Mantilions attack the hobbled team and critically injure Captain Nickson before again fleeing into the cover of the jungle. Desperate and out of time, Doctor Maxwell has to work medical magic on the dying woman as the rain continues to churn the ground around them. | In the jungle, the scouting team struggles across flooded ground and overturned trees while carrying their injured comrade back to Camp Rahman.

Back aboard the Veritas, time is nearly up as the ship hurtles towards the moon. Finally overcoming the last hurdles thrown in their way by the [[Temporal Integrity Commission]], the Veritas unleashes a titanic blast of energy, dissipating the anomaly and returning the moon to its rightful place in time. The crippled ship limps into a stable orbit and begins to recover the most critically injured crewmen as dawn breaks on the one hundred and eightieth day of their perceived time on Limbo. | Back aboard the Veritas, time is nearly up as the ship hurtles towards the moon.
