After several years, the Graven was on a routine delivery when it passed by an unstable worm-hole. Suddenly out of the vortex emerged a small ship, closely pursued by a massive vessel. The Graven had to take evasive actions to avoid getting crashed into. The small vessel was struck by torpedo and phaser fire from the giant, and began to explode. Just before it exploded, its crew beamed aboard the Graven. To the shock of Leo and his comrades, the evacuees were all [[ma:Borg|Borg]] drones! A sudden fire-fight erupted as the Graven crew fought to save themselves from being assimilated. Whilst Leo protected his girlfriend Sarra and tried to contact anyone for help, LeNoir went on the offensive against the Borgs. The gun battle raged, but being only a freighter with a relatively small crew, the Graven crew were beginning to fail. Several members of the crew had already succumbed to the Borg, and were turning on their former comrades. Just as all seemed lost, a group of aliens materialised from the larger ship. These aliens resembled tall slim grey bipeds, not unlike the classic alien vision from early 21st century Earth’s popular culture. These aliens rapidly overpowered the Borg drones, in some cases physically tearing them limb from limb. Leo and his friends, bruised and bloodied, welcomed their saviours. The Grey Aliens looked at the motley crew through flashing blue eyes. LeNoir went forward and reached up a hand, seemingly hypnotised by what he saw. Then the whole scene went bright white. | After several years, the Graven was on a routine delivery when it passed by an unstable worm-hole.

The crew of the Graven awoke, according to their log, about three days later. The ship was adrift and the aliens had gone. The Graven had, however, been massively upgraded with a whole variety of technology none of the Graven’s crew had ever encountered. Leo, who had a natural interest and flare for gadgetry, was fascinated and looked into what all the new equipment could do. With many of their officers now dead or assimilated, LeNoir was the ranking crewmember left, and took command. He seemed even more distant than before, but the others thought nothing much of it, just grateful to be alive. The Graven continued on its original mission, but it soon became apparent that LeNoir was hiding something from his crewmates. After some forceful persuasion, he showed them the treasure trove in the Graven’s reserve hull. The Borg drones were still there, but dissected and experimented upon. The aliens had given LeNoir the ability to understand and control these Borg drones, and replicate their technology and adapt it to his own needs.

It was also clear to Leo that LeNoir was becoming mentally unbalanced, or at the very least an aspiring tyrant. Before they could stop him, LeNoir turned on them and killed Sarra, and left Leo for dead. | ||
After a time of recovering, Leo made his way back to civilisation, and eventually Star Fleet. Back on front-line duties aboard the [[USS Independence-A]]. Leo still enjoyed getting his hands dirty building, dismantling and fixing a wide variety of machinery and technological devices. He also often acted as an avuncular figure to some of the younger crew around him in engineering, especially the promising Crewman [[Rawden, Rick|Rick Rawden]], being a much more approachable figure than Chief Engineer [[Darius Clack]]. Although Leo respected Clack's great abilities as an engineer, the two men did not get on well and they tried to keep their conversations to the minimum. Leo was also keenly aware that there was much more to Darius Clack than initially met the eye. Leo’s main objective was however for a quiet life. | After a time of recovering, Leo made his way back to civilisation, and eventually Star Fleet.
