The USS Arrow is assigned to 'Second Contact' with the newly warp capable society of [[Venthis]], taking their name from their [[Venthis (planet) | homeworld]]. After two centuries of devastating war, the fighting suddenly stopped eighteen months ago, and a new era of technological sophistication united the warring states. Now the people of Venthis have petitioned for membership to the United Federation of Planets, and the Arrow is sent to evaluate the planet for membership. But questions arise in the mission: Why did the war stop so suddenly? How have the Venthis managed to become so technologically developed in such a short time? And what exactly is The Miracle of Venthis?

''Arrow'' is assigned to Second Contact with the people of the planet Venthis.  Venthis had been in a catastrophic global civil war for roughly two centuries before the fighting suddenly stopped eighteen months ago. After First Contact with the USS ''Arkhipov'', the Venthis people have petitioned for membership in the United Federation of Planets.  ''Arrow'' is tasked with evaluating the planet for membership - especially their new technological advancement in such a short time.  An '''away team''' consisting of Collins, Wilde, Ander, and DeBarres is assigned to meet with Madam Alios, and attempt to evaluate the planet's technology and people.  A '''diplomatic team''' consisting of Shayne, Serinus, and R'Ariel are to receive Ambassador Dran and discuss potential Federation membership.  R'Ariel and Mason form a '''medical team''' tasked with receiving wounded veterans (including Borak Clovid) Venthis technology cannot yet treat.  Finally, Waters, Alvarez, and Caden are assigned to a '''survey team''' to pick through the orbital debris field surrounding Venthis for clues as to the planet's sudden advancement.

The mission starts with significant success.  The away team meets with great public reception at Feren Industries, and begins taking a tour of the beating heart of technical innovation.  Meanwhile, Ambassador Dran and the diplomatic team discuss Federation membership, and everything is cut short as the ship suddenly locks down.  The Omega Directive goes into effect...

With the ship in lockdown, Commander Shayne asks Ambassador Dran to meet with him on the bridge, and implements The Omega Directive, instructing Ensign Alvarez and Caden to begin work on a resonance chamber to neutralize the Omega Molecule. Dran informs Shayne that The Miracle he spoke of is the instance in which the fighting on Venthis stopped - the air pollution receded, as did the oceanic pollution. People had food and clothes, stable power. All thanks to The Miracle. He initially refuses to allow Starfleet to interfere on his planet, and will not destroy Omega. Shayne and R'Ariel outline the dangers of Omega, and what would happen if it destabilizes. Doctor Mason informs the bridge that most of the veterans they're helping in Sickbay all show signs of Omega Radiation poisoning, and this helps sway Dran to be more cooperative.

Commander Collins is remanded to sickbay due to acute symptoms of poisoning. Doctor Mason likens it similar to strychnine. The big question being asked now is... who wanted to kill Madam Alios for control of Omega?

The second away team of Serinus, Ander, Alvarez and Caden - accompanied by Ambassador Dran - take a shuttle through the debris field down to Venthis to track down the stolen Omega Molecule. Their scans indicate it had been transported to the Southern State capital of Lowka, a city destroyed in a bombardment during the war. Their search leads them to a docklands area where a trap lays in wait by Southern Militants.

The day after Omega is destroyed Ambassador Dran informs Starfleet that Venthis still has a long way to go in rebuilding itself after the war and hopes Feren Industries and Madam Alios will spearhead the planets new power infrastructure - teaching all areas of the planet to work and use the Starfleet generators donated by Shayne. He withdraws Venthis' application for membership, hoping one day - when the planet is more stable - they will take their place in the Federation.
