After tensions eased somewhat, the crews started to formulate a plan to rescue all on the planetoid's surface. [[Krindo Pandorn | Lieutenant Krindo Pandorn]] and Commander Flores worked together to set up a working relay to pin point the anomaly, which was closing rapidly. They succeeded in getting the exact location of the anomaly, but also in slowing down the degrading anomaly, but not by much. A rustling in the woods nearby produced two surprises, a creature with natural cloaking abilities which was stunned before it could reach the anomaly and destabilize it, and two new arrivals. One was the Klingon Commander Merzan and the other [[Luna Walker | Commander Luna Walker]] who purposely came from the Blackwell in the future with a plan to get them all home. [[Jarred Thoran | Lieutenant Commander Thoran]] finally told Captain McMillan and Commander Flores as much as can be told, what needed to be done to be rescued. | After tensions eased somewhat, the crews started to formulate a plan to rescue all on the planetoid's surface.

On the [[USS Blackwell]], sensors picked up an anomaly at the northern pole of [[P-409 Sigma]]. New science officer [[Carl Ramirez | Ensign Carl Ramirez]] set up an antiproton beam to reveal what is hiding there. This was after a tense moment when the gik'tal started to move aggressively towards the anomaly, which was quickly stopped by a "convincing" of the present commander of the Klingon warship. What is hovering over [[P-409 Sigma]], and will the plan on the Fortwith work? | On the [[USS Blackwell]], sensors picked up an anomaly at the northern pole of [[P-409 Sigma]].

The plan [[Luna Walker | Commander Luna Walker]] had was at the very least, interesting. The plan was to force a breach in the Fortwith's warp core with the hope that enough power would be generated to keep the shrinking rift open to allow the away teams to return to their original place in time, provided they were all close enough to the rift, but far enough away from the breaching core. Complicating matters was one of the Fortwith's crew mutinied against Captain McMillan, refusing to jettison the core as per orders. Captain MciMillan himself ejected the core, only to succumb to plasma burns after a brief fight with the mutineer. During the evacuation of the Fortwith,[[Krindo Pandorn | Lieutenant Krindo Pandorn]] and [[Hal Mika | Ensign Hal Mika]] discovered that the mutineer was in fact a Romulan made to look human. An astonishing find on a ship that was at least 270 years in the past from the two [[USS Blackwell]] officer's point of view. After gathering everyone, including the Fortwith's crew to the sight of the rift, [[Jarred Thoran | Lieutenant Commander Thoran]] was faced with another hard choice. One that would trash the Temporal Prime Directive. The energy that would be generated would not be enough to send the Fortwith herself through the rift meaning the Fortwith's crew would have to come to the 24th century with the [[USS Blackwell | Blackwell's]] crew. When asked, Commander Flores agreed to bring her crew to the 24th century, despite the potential conflict for her crew. Also, once through the rift, all those who weren't in EV suits would be instantly exposed to the airless environment of P-409 Sigma, an almost certain death for the Fortwith's crew. | |||
The core detonated early, sending everyone to the exact moment the Blackwell away team went missing. As expected, the Fortwith's crew started to fall to the airless surroundings and only the quick thinking of [[Krindo Pandorn | Lieutenant Krindo Pandorn]], who jumped into the Henry Gray and extended its shields around the area while simultaneously pumping air into the enclosure, saving the 60 odd members of the Fortwith's crew from a certain icy death. | |||
On the [[USS Blackwell | Blackwell]] Blackwell, an anti-proton burst at the Northern Magnetic Pole initiated by [[Carl Ramirez | Ensign Carl Ramirez]] revealed a Romulan science vessel hovering over the planetoid. What they were doing there, no one had a clue. [[Randal Shayne | Commander Randal Shayne]], [[Mirra Ezo | Lt. Commander Mirra Ezo]] and Lieutenant Sersina Drass were sent aboard to investigate. As usual, the Romulans were not too co-operative, and [[Randal Shayne | Commander Randal Shayne's]] group had departed once the surface teams were safely on board the [[USS Blackwell | Blackwell]]. The planetoid then started to spin wildly out of control, making the rift swallow itself destroying it. What were the Romulans doing there, and why was an impostor on the Forthwith to begin with? And what of the Fortwith's crew? How will they handle their new life in a new century? How will Commander Whittaker deal with the Department of Temporal Investigations? There seem to be more questions than answers... | |||
