The Apollo-A detects a faint distress call while traveling through the Tyhpon Expanse. The call is emanating from a previously unknown planet, Neutronia. Upon arrival the ship detects distortions coming from the planet surface which make communication and transports to the surface impossible. Merrick is sent down with several others in a shuttle to investigate matters. Scanning the surface on the way down it is quickly determined where the energy is coming from, but the shuttle is forced to crash land as it is hit with an unintended energy discharge. Making contact with the Neutronians they send Merrick and Luna Walker to examine the technology used to create the distortions. It is realized that the Neutronians are attempting to use untested technology to harness the power of their planet's core, however they are really tapping energy it from a different reality. At the same time a Sicarius ship also arrives on the scene and, after sending down a few crew members to the surface to create problems, picks a fight with the Apollo-A. One of the Sicarious crew fires at Luna while she is examining the technology and the resultant discharge exchanges her for an alternate reality version of her brother Ben Walker. At the same time the Apollo comes under attack by the Sicarious ship. Together Merrick and W'vlep, the Neutronain researcher, are able to re-exchange Luna and her brother and seal the rift between the realities. Meanwhile in the skies above the Apollo defeats the Sicarious ship and allows the crew return aboard. | The Apollo-A detects a faint distress call while traveling through the Tyhpon Expanse.

The Darwin-A, to which Merrick has been recently transferred, is sent to investigate readings that conform to known Borg signatures near the Beta Quadrant edge of the Pouiyeog region. Upon arriving in sector PR-E3, the crew found the Borg signal to have originated from a nearby planet, strangely enough there was no other Borg activity detected in the area. Scans of the planet showed a crash site on the surface, a group of disconnected Borg drones, and a cloud of nanites that had escaped the planet as a swarm that were being fired on from the planet. The nanoprobes take cover behind the behind Darwin against weapons fire from the planet. Three teams were sent down to the planet to investigate, while one is left on the Darwin to try and communicate with the nanoprobes and determine if they are indeed sentient like many speculate. Merrick was sent down with a team led by Chief Engineer Varaan and accompanied by Assistant Chief Tactical Officer Brayden Jorey and Chief Medical Officer Graeme Cook. Their mission: to destroy the vinculum and central plexus at the Borg crash site, ensuring it cannot reestablish contact with the collective. The team encountered natural obstacles, and one of the two explosive devices for destroying the Vinculum and Central plexus was lost and soon after an injured Borg was found. It was at this point that the team split, Varaan and Cook would attempt to save the injured Borg and Merrick and Commander Jorey would continue to the Vinculum and Central Plexus, the mission goals shifted somewhat. Instead of destroying the communication gear outright, Merrick and Commander Jorey were to use them to block any other signals that the Borg may try to send, in or out. Ultimately Commander Jorey and Lt Merrick R’Ven were able to use the Vinculum to block any signals, but Merrick himself was unintentionally injured in an attempt to telepathically communicate with the swarm of nanoprobes and he was partially assimilated in an effort to save him. In the end, the crew returns to the ship, the remaining Borg are euthanized via phaser fire and the nanites are moved to an area where they can live and grow. Merrick himself is left to face his new life dealing with the aftereffects of assimilation. | |||
