JG [[Bakari, Msafiri|Msafiri Bakari]], the highest ranking survivor who has not been captured, rescues 3 engineers (T'Soya, Ri, and Isen). Hundreds of Federation personnel remain captive, and many will not survive the prolonged occupation or the final battle to retake the station. | ||
**Over the next few weeks, Bakari and the insurgency are successful at sabotaging various station systems, including the internal sensor grid. Unfortunately, their attempts to liberate Federation personnel who have been "assimilated" by the Vaadwaur through the use of insect-like mind-control devices are less successful. | |||
**Meanwhile, Rais is separated from Kadosh and subjected to chemical brainwashing by the Vaadwaur. Kadosh is periodically brought in to tend to Rais’s injuries, and each time she notices that he is falling further under the influence of the Vaadwaur until finally on SD 238707.15 he sees himself as nothing else besides a member of the Occupation Force. | |||

After Bakari's fellow security officer Ensign Levo was killed on SD 238707.24, Jennifer Brockton became Bakari's second-in-command. Over the three months of the occupation, the group rescued another eight personnel. The insurgents wore EV suits to keep out the "flies" the Vaadwaur used to control their prisoners. The insurgency sabotaged internal sensors to elude capture, and the Vaadwaur were forced to search for the insurgents deck-by-deck, room-by-room. Khali, a Betazoid and powerful telepath, was instrumental in warning her fellow insurgents when search parties were near. | ||
Because of his unique physiology, Radi Rais was undetectable to Khali, however, and the Vaadwaur leader Sedrin ordered the brainwashed Rais to hunt down the insurgents alone. The former Marine squad leader was ruthlessly effective in his task, even killing members of his old squad without hesitation. Ultimately, only nine members of the resistance survived to see Starfleet retake the station on SD 238709. | Because of his unique physiology, Radi Rais was undetectable to Khali, however, and the Vaadwaur leader Sedrin ordered the brainwashed Rais to hunt down the insurgents alone.
