The passage of a new year into 2396 on the Earth calendar would have gone unchecked except for an unprovoked attack upon the {{USS|Columbia}}. While the ship is completing a visit to [[Dehner Base]] on [[Delta Vega I]], an unknown assailant appears near the second planet and quickly fires upon the starship. Quick responses from the crew throw the ship into a heavy space battle. The ship's impulse engines are quickly disabled. The crew implements a plan by [[Jona ch'Ranni|Ensign ch'Ranni]] to fire an ''ionized nadion pulse'' from the main deflector at the assailant to disrupt their sensors. [[Pholin Duyzer|Lieutenant JG Duyzer]] suggests a plan to launch a probe to boost the Columbia's own sensors while providing for communication with the enemy vessel. After the failure of the ship's shields, boarding parties beam to the Columbia. [[Graciela Solis|Lieutenant Commander Solis]] and [[Jona ch'Ranni|Ensign ch'Ranni]] encounter a group of hostiles in Deflector Control while [[Jarred Thoran|Commander Thoran]], [[Rune Jolara|Lieutenant Commander Jolara]] and [[Tommy Gottci|Ensign Gottci]] head to Main Engineering in response to reports of another boarding party. | The passage of a new year into 2396 on the Earth calendar would have gone unchecked except for an unprovoked attack upon the {{USS|Columbia}}.

Meanwhile, members of the crew from the attacking ship, the Eildyr, beam to [[Dehner Base]]. They had been covertly observing the construction of the new base and are searching for mysterious artifacts recovered from a nearby archeological dig. The discovery of these artifacts by Professor Olivia Sellard's team was intentionally hidden from the Columbia's crew. The attackers retrieve the artifacts and beam away to their waiting ship. | Meanwhile, members of the crew from the attacking ship, the Eildyr, beam to [[Dehner Base]].

Professor Jev Crim Glev reveals that the relics stolen from Dehner Base are of Tkon origin, an ancient and powerful civilization that died out more than 600,000 years ago. The priceless artifacts could be very dangerous in the wrong hands. He also explains that much of the information about the Tkon Empire is mere conjecture; built from the myths and legends of several dozen species. There is very little concrete information about the Tkon besides their ability to move stars across the cosmos and that they terraformed worlds, placing sentient computer programs on them known as 'Portals' to guard them. | Professor [[Jev Crim Glev]]- Dehner Base's lead archeologist- reveals that the relics stolen from Dehner Base are of Tkon origin, an ancient and powerful civilization that died out more than 600,000 years ago.

Commanders Tatash and Ezo interrogate some of the captured boarders and slowly uncover details of Kaironn's plan. Lieutenant Duyzer and Ensign ch'Ranni are tasked with finding the likely position of the foe. In the Astrometrics Lab they use sensor data to follow the path of the Eildyr to a Class 9 Nebula. Commander Walker, despite injuries, is able to make repairs and get the impulse engines patched in record time. Unfortunately, she is exposed to a radiation stream in the impulse manifold and must be transported to the Biohazard Ward for treatment. Walker devises a plan to project a holographic avatar of herself using mobile holo-emitters and a neural link so that she can continue to work while remaining in containment for radiation treatment. | Commanders Tatash and Ezo interrogate some of the captured boarders and slowly uncover details of Kaironn's plan.
