Under the | On stardate 239409.16 the ''Gorkon'' was pulled out of her established quantum slipstream by subspace fissures created by high-energy pulsars in the dense Roman Expanse nebula. The forced hard stop was enough to temporarily disable both the ''Gorkon's'' warp core and her quantum slipstream drive, leaving the ship with only minimal impulse power. However, due to an inexplicable power drain the Gorkon soon lost even impulse power and energy levels dropped so low that reignition of the ship's warp core and slipstream drive became impossible. The ship was dead in space and, upon surveying her surroundings, the Gorkon found that she was not alone. Several other ships drifted within the heart of the Roman Expanse, derelict and drained of power. The derelicts were represented by many races and affiliations, a majority Romulan, but one nearby ship was Federation: an Excelsior-class cruiser, the ''Phoenix''. | ||
Under the command of First Officer [[Trellis Vondaryan]], a shuttlecraft was dispatched to investigate the remains of the ''Phoenix'' while Chief Engineer [[Cory Stoyer]] attempted to reactivate the ''Gorkon's'' warp core by forcing electro-plasma manually through the core's main conduits. Plans of action were soon disrupted however when enigmatic, faceless, shape-shifting entities began phasing aboard the ''Gorkon'' through subspace fissures permeating the ship's inner decks. The faceless subspace entities seemed to be attacking the crew of the ''Gorkon'' at first and defensive strategies were put into action to contain and expel the creatures from the ship. However, when Eli was attacked by one of the creatures he was infected by a tele-nueroligic virus that acted as a form of both communication with the faceless entities and a method of their remote control of Eli's basic brain functions. Soon after Eli's infection Rear Admiral Quinn Reynolds was infected by the tele-nuerologic virus and, via their mutual confirmation of one another, the crew of the ''Gorkon'' learned that the subspace entities intended to assist the ''Gorkon'' and her crew in escaping the nebula. | |||
Aboard the ''Phoenix'', Vondaryan's team discovered the now deceased crew's logs and, upon investigation of them, learned that a dangerous creature lurked within the nebula. As Vondaryan and his team returned to the ''Gorkon'' Eli began replication of a device--the blueprints of which had been implanted into the ship's computer by the subspace entities--and Admiral Reynolds attempted further telepathic communication with the mysterious beings. Upon analysis of the data provided by the entities the crew of the ''Gorkon'' learned the beings referred to themselves as the Seraphim, a metaphorical way of communicating their benevolent intentions. The Seraphim's device was soon replicated and sent into the Expanse, just as Stoyer and his team brought the warp core back online. The device revealed a monstrous, invisible, subspace creature lurking just above the ''Gorkon'', leeching her power. With a modified phaser emitter the ''Gorkon'' was able to break free and escape the creature, but their departure from the nebula was very nearly cut short when, as the ship fled, the creature emitted a powerful electro-plasmatic wave that damaged the ''Gorkon's'' already fragile systems even further. However the ship was able to escape both the beast and its lair. With heavy damages the ''Gorkon'' limped her way back to the [[Tyrellian system]] where repairs were soon underway. | |||
