Saveron revisits the conversation with the mining Administrator and detects that she seems to be afraid of something and extremely stressed and informs the rest of the bridge crew of it. A security Officer, Poe Martin, is called to the bridge to check out the footage for a second opinion, with the option of preparing a second team if their away team still can't be detected.

An object that is believed to be a probe returns to the ship, but upon inspection, they find out it is not a probe but a non-Federation shuttle. Saveron instructs to raise shields as a precaution. Could it be the shuttle that has made its way to the stationary ship before? What do to with it?

Could it be the shuttle that has made its way to the stationary ship before? What do to with it? Saveron suggests to hail it because the sensors are no good. While he hails the ship Jalana has a realisation, or rather a memory flash from the information Sal Taybrim has shared with her and recognizes a mark on the shuttle as belonging to a certain cell of the Orion Syndicate. They close comms and make sure the shields are active. The only reason Jalana does not sound red alert is that once the Syndicate knows they know they will attack. What do to now?

== On the Constitution ==
The Constitution crew tries to decide on what to do about the shuttle. It appears that everyone is of the mind that the shuttle must have a big friend somewhere and most likely it was the stationary ship in the nebula. Because scanners are still on the fritz and unreliable they needed a different method to know where to aim. So the Conny sent a modified torpedo to bathe the shuttle in photon energy and then use that to aim at them better. But after that modified torpedo is shot, the shuttle suddenly explodes and a shockwave shakes the ship. Before they can react, a second ship appears from behind and attacks and their 'stationary friend' joined the battle from the front.
With a quick decision, the Constitution decides to separate to deal with the double threat. (Continue in Saucer and Stardrive Sections)
== Saucer Section (Main Bridge) ==
*'''Command''': Jalana
*'''Helm''': Nugra
*'''Weapons''': T’Seva
*'''Scanners''': Davis
*'''Engineer''': Sirn
*'''In Sickbay''': Ravenna
*'''Main goal''': Defend against and cripple the second Syndicate ship ''Minotaur''
After being separated from the Stardrive Section the Saucer section of the Constitution focuses their fire on the Second ship (unbeknownst to them called the Minotaur). While defending against their attacks and returning fire they notice a Warp Nacelle of the Conny float by. Jalana wants to know what happened but their main focus remains on the Minotaur.
The Conny's shields are going down, but attempts are made to break through the Minotaur's shields while repairing and recharging their own. T'Seva copies the Minotaur's tactic of hitting the same spot over and over, while Nugra tries to move the Saucer Section fast enough to make that more difficult for the other ship.
The Constitution is called by the Pirates and in a short conversation they hear that the pirates want the ship and possibly sell the crew into slavery, putting Jalana into the position to have to choose what she wants to do. Of course, she will fight. After a suggestion from Nugra, they contact Saveron to use the loose Warp Nacelle as a Projectile to hit the Pirates with. In the process the ''Minotaur'' is destroyed.
The fight continues with teeth and claws. Together with the Stardrive section they form a plan and manage to disable the ''Theseus'' by covering them in plasma while the saucer section covers them in space dust. After that the Conny crew are blinded by a warp flare and then witness a small vessel leaving the pirate ship and jumping to warp. Realising that someone fled the ship.
They talk with the pirates to offer that they surrender. In that time they find out that the space dust ruptured the pirate ship hull and is about to disintegrate. After hesitation 5 pirates decide to be saved, only moments before the ''Theseus'' explodes.
== Stardrive Section (Battle Bridge) ==
*'''Command''': Saveron
*'''Helm''': Cade
*'''Weapons''': Lystra
*'''Scanners''': Sarah
*'''Engineer''': Jacob
*'''Security''': Poe
*'''Main Goal''': Defending the Saucer Section and disabling the first Syndicate ship (The ''Theseus'')
After separation from the Saucer section, the Stardrive Section focuses on the Syndicate ship ''Theseus'' (The name is not known to them). Scanners have a delay after the main computer was hit by a torpedo.
A tri-cobalt warhead coming from the ''Theseus'' hits the Stardrive section and port nacelle pylon was hit hard, shattering it and making them lose a warp nacelle that floats deeper into the nebula.
The Constitution is called by the Pirates and in a short conversation they hear that the pirates want the ship and possibly sell the crew into slavery, putting Jalana into the position to have to choose what she wants to do. Of course, she will fight and Saveron is right with her. After a suggestion from Nugra, Saveron is contacted by Jalana and they prepare to use the loose Warp Nacelle as a Projectile to hit the Pirates with.
In addition, the Deflector Dish is adjusted to use as a weapon, hoping that Lystra can manage to not destroy it in the process. It is not used yet, though, just prepared. The Stardrive bridge crew prepares their new projectile and flies by real close to the ''Minotaur'' before they move out of the way at the last moment, and the nacelle hits them. As they look back the ship is gone and in its place only debris is left.
The fight continues with teeth and claws. Together with the Saucer section they form a plan and manage to disable the ''Theseus'' by covering them in plasma while the saucer section covers them in space dust. After that the Conny crew are blinded by a warp flare and then witness a small vessel leaving the pirate ship and jumping to warp. During the last bit of the battle Poe and Mason have been knocked out and are incapacitated.
The Saucer section talks with the pirates to offer that they surrender. In that time they find out that the space dust ruptured the pirate ship hull and is about to disintegrate. After hesitation 5 pirates decide to be saved, only moments before the ''Theseus'' explodes.
== In the Mine ==
Alarm blares and the blast doors are lowering! The away team scrambles to get out of the mine before the door hits the ground. Most of the team makes it: So'Mior and Sawyer Moore move out, T'Mar makes it too but hits her head due to low vision and falls unconscious, Orin Dann is being pushed out by T'Aven. T'Aven and Imas Heeka don't make it on time and are locked inside the cave behind the doors.
=== Outside the Dilithium cave ===
The team is greeted by a group of pirates ready to have some fun with them if they don't behave. When Shael, the leader, arrives she wants to know where the rest of the team is and indicates to So'Mior and Sawyer that if they want to see their friends alive they better do what she says. One of the pirates is having a stupid idea of what to do with them and she tells one of the other pirates to take care of him before asking So'Mior and Sawyer if they will corporate.
Sawyer tries to attack and is shot down, while So'Mior meets the electro whip. He agrees to cooperate and behave. Everyone but So'Mior is being brought to 'The Pit' - a used up cave - while Shael takes So'Mior with her to find out more about the team and the Constitution.
=== Inside the Dilithium cave ===
T'Aven and Imas are trapped inside. While T'Aven has most of her vision, Imas is still mostly blind and is brought to a more bright area for better recovery and they begin to brainstorm on what to do now.
== Pirate Ship ''Theseus'' ==
The ''Theseus'' keeps their eyes on the shuttle they sent and realize the Constitution is not trying to scan it. So they go to plan B and trigger the explosives stores inside. As the Constitution is hit with the shockwave they are provided with the shield frequency and send it to their sister ship the ''Minotaur'' that so far had been hiding in the nebula, before they start their attack. They see the ship separate to fight both ships. A Tri-Cobalt Warhead is shot at the Starboard section and the Warp Nacelle is separated from the ship.
Elder, the Captain, decides to call the Constitution. He indicates that his ships 'are more than a match for a battered Galaxy Class'. He wants to take the ship to the Syndicate. Elder makes them choose between surrendering (and taken back to the Syndicate to be sold into slavery) and being bested (and he just takes the ship full of dead bodies). Of course, neither Saveron nor Jalana agrees to his conditions.
As Elder believes that they are just cocky Starfleeters the fight continues but at some point when the ship is hit with the Constitution's Warp Plasma and space dust that disturbs the sensors and navigation, he realizes that they have lost. Pretending to have an ace up his sleeve he orders to blind the Constitution so he could shoot that ace. Instead, as soon as the warp flare is fired he flees with a personal vessel, leaving the Nebula with warp.
The Theseus is called by Jalana and 'Fuse' answers her call for surrender, trying to negotiate some terms for surrender but has no chance of getting anything through. Then they hear that their ship is badly damaged and will explode in only minutes. After much back and forth Fuse, Kirin and three others decided to surrender to the Constitution and beam over.
The rest decides to still fight but while they attempt to place one last attack the Theseus explodes and is gone.
== Pirate Ship ''Minotaur'' ==
The ''Minotaur'' has been hiding in the Nebula until they receive the signal from the ''Theseus'' and then join the fight against the Constitution. When the Constitution uses its loose warp nacelle to catapult it at the Minotaur and detonates it, the ''Minotaur'' is destroyed.
= Third Act =
== On the Constitution ==
The 5 pirates that agreed to be beamed to the Constitution are being held in an empty Cargo Room on the Saucer since the brig is in the Stardrive section. The plan is to bring them to Starbase 104 and hand them over to the authorities.
After the battle is over, the Constitution crew is concerned about more pirate presence in the mine where their away team is still out of reach. Since the Stardrive is currently disabled they send shuttles with teams to head to the mines. Meanwhile, the Saucer Section is still capable of impulse flight and makes its way to the mine as well, but (as per an idea transmitted via a buoy from Saveron's team) will remain out of sensor range of the mine for a surprise element. They will take shuttles with teams for the rest of the way as well.
Teams are being put together for a plan.
* '''Fixing the Comms of the Mine''': Davis, Sirn, Kass, Scarrow, NPC Security Detail
* '''Mine Rescue team 1''': Rajel, Atan, Nugra, Carter, NPC Security Detail
* '''Mine Rescue team 2''': Saveron, Lystra, Horne, Foster
* Plus additional full NPC security teams spread out through the mine
== In the Mine ==
T'Aven and Imas have utilized a huge mining drill to begin their escape from the cave. Along the way, they ran into a boulder problem and attempts to break it into smaller parts ended with a broken Vulcan hand, a hurt ego and after some phaser use smaller rock parts that then allowed them to continue with their way.
Meanwhile, So'Mior as the only conscious member of the away team has been taken as a 'pet' by the Pirate Second in Command Shael for entertainment, bargaining chip and source of information. As they hear the drills she tries to pressure him into making them stop but the lack of communications make that impossible. He has the idea to set the explosive danger alarm off. Agreeing with that idea they make their way to the controls where Shael makes a mistake. She places down her disruptor to use both hands for the controls. A chance which So'Mior quickly jumps on and a fight begins. They struggle for dominance and Shael begins to enter his mind to control him when he doesn't willingly give up. She is almost successful when - until then unnoticed - Orin Dann hits her over the head with a fire extinguisher. Shael goes down and unceremoniously gets shot by Dann. He then takes care of So'Mior who has been affected to a degree and needs a Vulcan to fix his mind. They take off to the Maintenance sector where Dann believes the Drilling team will come out.
