On the runabout, the Captain thanked everyone for their work and dedication, giving out battlefield promotions to the now Lieutenant MacLaren, Lieutenant JG Nevarass, and Marine Captain Dubeau. On giving them the news, she warned everyone to strap in as she prepared to pilot them to the station. | On the runabout, the Captain thanked everyone for their work and dedication, giving out battlefield promotions to the now Lieutenant MacLaren, Lieutenant JG Nevarass, and Marine Captain Dubeau.

The trip to the gravitic anomaly was almost anti-climatic after everything the crew had been through to that point. Enough so that the marine flight jokingly offered the Captain to go first into the wormhole. As the shuttle and fighters passed the event horizon however, the first of the challenges were realized. Each person in the crew found themselves living through images of alternatives to their lives, leaving most sickened and shocked. Commander Orman, thanks to a previous action, was unaffected, and Doctor MacLaren quickly determined that the effect was a mental wave. Theorizing that the wave was intended only to understand them better, or any traveler, the shuttle was allowed to be brought into the station. The Marine fighters were not pulled in, and had to find their own way, taking long minutes to regather with the rest of the crew as they entered Odyssey station. | |||
The initial entry into Odyssey was held back momentarily by the announcement from a Greeter that no harm would be allowed, and that their weapons would not function. A likely similar effect was preventing the ability to track the missing crew, but Commander Walker was able to work with Commander Breeman to modify the "Morgan coins" that Commander Cody had previously used to begin tracking them through the station. While doing so, other travelers were met and revealed the station's ability to send people where they most desired. Unfortunately, it was more accurate to say they were sent to where they sub-consciously desired. This effect was apparently not limited to specific areas, as Doctor MacLaren's dog, Hope, suddenly found herself with the away team. Acting on the need to move quickly, Hope and Puncdor, utilized her scenting ability and his flight to quickly find the missing crew. Meanwhile, Commander Walker worked with the marines and Lieutenant Livingston to create a series of transporter enhancers to allow their quick withdrawal. Thankfully, the alternate plan created with Lieutenant Silveira to use sonics to shatter the crystals used by the Greeters was not required. | |||
Worried about their ability to return home, a Greeter appeared to say that Anya had chosen to be a physical creature and they were free to return home. Exhausted by the events they'd already gone through, they gladly did so. | |||
Arriving at the base, Captain Nicholotti gave everyone the day to recover before any mission logs were required and prepared the crew for shore leave. | |||
The next day, a new wrinkle appeared. Lieutenant Commander Matthews was being transferred to Ops to take the position of First Officer. While publicly accepting the move, both Captain Nicholotti and Commander Walker found themselves upset and suddenly at odds with each other over the move. Thankfully, their previous bond, though tested, held firm. Commander Walker took the position of Second Officer, and suggested their debriefing take the form of a beach barbecue. | |||
While there, the Captain gave out promotions to Silveira and Livingston, and restored Commander Walker's previous rank of Captain. There was food, singing, and a circus where the crew were the stars. The crew took advantage of the time to get to know each other better, including Lieutenant Jade Matthews, pregnant wife to the new FO! | |||
