-In the observation room, after a minute to admire Asav from the viewpoint of space, Lyldra starts conversations of understanding between Patriarch Phlendorp and Attendant Pernod.  In discussing their divergent views of history, the two Asavii start to form an inkling of understanding between them.

+Lying low after personal concerns during the previous mission, Avaris Torrin is ready to start contributing in a civilian capacity on the Darwin, and attains employment in Natural Selections, the officer's lounge.  However, despondency makes him listless and distracted, to the concern and chagrin of his new coworkers.
+After receiving word that Ens Block needed to return to the Darwin, and his subsequent departure, Lt Traenor requests Cmdr Walker to implement her plan to clear away sediment from the cavern.  Anchoring the craft to the cavern floor using guy wires, Walker has Ens Logan fire sonar bursts down the lines to agitate the sediment.  The method has the unintended effect of enhanced readings of the wall, which reveal an empty void behind walls of rock and metal.

+|With the absence of Ens Manius and Ens Alekos, Cmdr Thomas tasks Science Minister Veilta and Lt Valdivia to assume the duties they previously occupied.  They anchor their submersible against the rock face behind which the void is located, and discuss building a hatch to seal the void once they are finished exploring.  Cmdr Icavoc contacts Thomas from the Darwin, and advises him that Ens Mpeba will be joining his expedition party.  Thomas has Mpeba beam down with supplies to build a hatch for the void, and upon jheas arrival has jhea and Valdivia start the hatch construction.  Perforating the wall to the void, Valdivia finds that the room's atmosphere is more in line with that of a class M planet, which leads to the deduction that the void was sealed either before or during the planet's flooding.  Finally gaining access to the void, Thomas allows Science Minister Veilta the honor of being the first to enter.  Once they have all entered, the void appears to be a large room containing many workstations, and one dessicated corpse.  Further examination reveals a generator, which uses water as a fuel source.  While retrieving water from the submersible, Valdivia notes a name for the room, Ooyetirent, which translates as 'Control Center'.
+Warning Patriarch Phlendorp that the Federation's tolerance for deception is not high, Cmdr Renos offers forgiveness, while Ens Lyldra offers sage advice about religious acceptance.  After discussing the reasoning for the Asavii desire for trade with the Federation, they discuss possible trade terms, and Patriarch Phlendorp mentions the true reason for exploring Skarlozent.  It was not in search of Balzog artifacts, as Attendant Pernod had feared, but for a historical technology that was rumored to be able to solve their resource ails.
+Discussing ways to access the newly-found void, Cmdr Walker suggests a blind transport of a probe, but is concerned that the signal would not be able to emanate from behind a passive scan block that seems to be in place.  Ens Logan counsels caution, suggesting they abandon the area.  After conferring with Cmdr Thomas and discovering that his team had gained access to a similar void, Traenor is resolute in his determination to find a way to enter theirs.  There are no other viable options, so Lt Traenor advises Walker to initiate the transport of a probe into the void, and requests Logan to continue the sonar bursts to try and find an entrance-way.
+With no luck finding a power source behind the first of three doors thanks to the composition of the walls blocking their scans, Cmdr Rennyn, CPO Jellico, and Iy decide to try a different room.  Rennyn immediately suggests the room marked 'Chitern', a word he had encountered while with Cmdr Thomas's party.  Jellico cuts through the latch, and with Rennyn in the lead, they cautiously enter.
