Returning to the Hub, Captain Nicholotti setup a meeting with one of the reporters on the station, who focused his conversation on Anya.  Unwilling and unable to go beyond the statement that she was her sister, the reporter warned that the truth could only be kept away for so long.

Sending the reporter on his way, the briefing began.  The astrolabe was looked at as sabotage, potentially Romulan... but unfortunately unproven.  The question of why the Romulan fleet has given so much time, and has remained uncloaked.  And most importantly, how the romulan epidemic can be stopped.  The crew rushes off to find answers, while the Captain tries to convince Starfleet of the importance of the act.. and to provide more ships to see it through.

As the situation evolved, the crew of Ops was able to discern the reasons behind the Astrolabe's "visit". The Captain of the Astrolabe had wished to harm both the Cardassians, and the Romulans who had "profitted" from the liberation of Benzar. The Romulans he'd pay back by providing outdated, and therefore ineffective medicine. Stealing their hope away at the most cruel of moments. This story was shared, not only with the Ops crew, but also with the reporters still on station.
At the same time, Captain Nicholotti began working with Headquarters to provide medical assistance to the Romulans, something she was surprised to note her First Officer initially opposed. Captain Walker felt an almost immediate sense of karma as he was notified soon after of his romulan step-mother and step-sister's presence on one of the affected worlds.
Realizing the closer connection to the crew, as well as the potential for the epidemic to jump species with a half-human romulan hybrid involved, the crew amped up their efforts to determine what could be done, and make themselves invaluable to any rescue efforts. Captain Nicholotti went so far as to have a private summit with the Romulan Commodore who'd parked her fleet outside the base. Their discussion determined that the plague was affecting multiple worlds. Realizing that the Federation ships would have to go deep into Romulan space, Ael'Riov Arrenhe i-Mnaeha t'Llweii volunteered to guard those ships with her fleet, even to the point of firing on other Romulan ships if necessary.
Realizing the crew's Leave was more likely to be ended than simply delayed as initially believed, the crew was ordered to take the night off, before things escalated further.
Taking advantage of the brief pause, Commander's Orman and MacKenna professed their love to each other, making plain what each had felt for the other for some time.  Meanwhile in another section of the station, Lieutenant Silveira was given two surprises.  The first that he was soon to be a father with Ensign MGia, equally shocking for him was the news that he was going to be married not to one Andorian woman, but two as Thalla MGia, Ensign MGia's cousin, would also carry the child.
