The day following her promotion, Lael handed a report on the functioning of the warp core to Commander [[Luna Walker|Walker]], only to notice that she was distracted and that Lieutenant [[Danni James|James]] wasn't at her usual post. Concerned Lael asked if everything was all right. Luna led Lael to the Chief Engineer's Office where she disclosed in confidence that Danni might be pregnant. Lael offered congratulations, but the rest of their conversation was cut off by Lieutenant Commander [[Mei'konda]] calling from the bridge to inform them of the situation with the {{USS|Astraeus}}, and asked them to come up with a way to get the ship out of danger. She and Luna worked through the situation, strategizing on how to do so without risking the safety of the ''[[USS Veritas|Veritas]]'' and her crew. However, a yellow alert ruined those plans and forced Lael and Luna to also come up with either a way to increase the ''[[USS Veritas|Veritas]]''' defenses.

Shortly after, Crewman Recruit Tazmin Shandres approached her and Luna, taking the initiative by asking where she could help out. Noticing the young woman's enthusiasm and dedication, Lael decided to take the young woman under her wing. At first, Luna was going to assign Shandres to do research, but when a message came in from the bridge regarding an idea Ensign Jael Yal had to use the deflector in their plan, she suggested to Luna that maybe Shandres could help them sort through the specifics of Yal's proposal.

''SECTION UNDER CONSTRUCTION''
As the Veritas arrived to help the Astraeus, however, they came under attack and Acting Captain [[Mei'konda]] ordered Security, Engineering, and Medical to prepare teams. Commander [[Kelrod]]'s team was already in place, attempting to repel the boarding parties. The other teams eventually beamed over to the other vessel into the Engineering section to find many wounded being treated by the ship's CMO, Doctor [[Rajan]].
 
Once there, they learned that internal communications were down, which would make it impossible to communicate with [[Kelrod]]'s team through conventional means. Also, there was a forcefield in place to keep the intruders out, but it was running on ship's power. After a great deal of discussion, the leaders of all three teams decided that the Engineers would work on reinforcing the field with a generator so the barrier didn't continue draining the little power the ship had left. Lieutenants [[Hanar Tuk|Tuk]] and [[Jonathan Cumar|Cumar]] remained with the Engineers to protect them and the medical officers, including [[Chythar Skyfire|Chythar]] and Doctor [[Solok]], who were working to stabilize the patients.
 
However, as the Engineering team is working, a group of intruders is able to break through the weakened forcefield, shooting Lael in the shoulder and injuring a few others, [[Jonathan Cumar|Jon]] among them. He took a hit jumping in front of Lael to protect her from a second shot. In the scuffle, a transport inhibitor was activated, preventing the teams from beaming out. Also, the intruders hit a panel that closed the blast doors, stopping the teams from gaining access to engineering. When they hit the panel, the intruders caused a radiation leak that the Medical teams had to treat with radiation inoculations.
 
Lael was ready to take hers when a man began seizing, leaving Chythar with no choice but to treat him with the last dose of anti-seizure meds. Without those anti-seizure meds prior to her radiation inoculation, Lael risked becoming incapacitated and possibly entering a coma due to her allergy. She urged the teams to focus on disabling the transport inhibitor and deactivating the blast doors to get them into Engineering.
 
Finally, they were successful, allowing the anti-seizure meds to be transported so Lael could receive her radiation inoculation with minimal risk. With the blast doors open, the teams gathered and focused on taking back Engineering. Weapons' fire was exchanged and they managed to regain control of Engineering, but [[Chythar Skyfire|Chythar]] was shot in the leg while trying to avoid getting shot. He was beamed back to the Veritas to be patched up while the rest of the team cleared Engineering and got to work setting things up to tow the ''Astraeus'' out.
 
Shortly thereafter, Lieutenant [[Jonathan Cumar|Cumar]] discovered a bomb inside the warp core. It was thought to be a tricobalt bomb at first, given [[Jilor]]'s recent use of them. But upon further inspection, they discovered it was in fact a ultritium bomb that the Starfleet database described as "an extremely powerful chemical explosive, virtually undetectable by conventional sensors and therefore frequently employed in covert operations. Ninety isotons of enriched ultritium had enough explosive power to destroy almost anything within a radius of eight hundred kilometers".
 
The check-in call from [[Kelrod]]'s team gave Lael the opportunity to ask for his expertise. While [[Kelrod]]'s team was enroute, Lael and her team continued brainstorming solutions. At last, [[Kelrod]]'s team arrived and they all opted to use cryofreezing combined with a chroniton generator to slow the clock. They then intended to beam it into space. They were successful up until they tried to beam it off the ship. The bomb exploded, though thankfully it didn't destroy the ship, only damaged Engineering aboard the ''Astraeus''.
 
Lieutenants [[Hanar Tuk|Tuk]] and [[Jon Cumar|Cumar]] beamed back to the ''Veritas'' to help secure the prisoners they'd captured while Lael and her team stayed behind to finish preparing the ''Astraeus'' for towing. Once that was complete, they beamed back to the ''Veritas'' to help with final preparations there. After a great deal of hard work, they put their rescue plan into action and it went off without a hitch. The ''Astraeus'' was successfully towed out and the ''Veritas'' picked up Captain [[Roshanara Rahman|Rahman]] from Outpost 3 and continued to ''Esperance'' to enjoy the lull between missions.
