Now the Juneau is on patrol duty in the nebula DE-678912 - dubbed the Dirty Elbow Nebulae by the locals - after receiving a distress call from an old Cardassian listening post, claiming Nauscican pirates are targeting transport vessels in one of the most prominent trading routes in the Aavaro Wilds. | Now the Juneau is on patrol duty in the nebula DE-678912 - dubbed the Dirty Elbow Nebulae by the locals - after receiving a distress call from an old Cardassian listening post, claiming Nauscican pirates are targeting transport vessels in one of the most prominent trading routes in the Aavaro Wilds. | ||
The Captain helds up an improvised meeting with Commander Williams, Ensign Falt and Tito in the Clanhouse. There they began to be surprised by, according to Tito's words, Presences. The Captain was "visited" by her dead fiance and sister, Williams meets his girlfriend, Falt a long dead childhood friend. | The Captain helds up an improvised meeting with Commander Williams, Ensign Falt and Tito in the Clanhouse.

Tito is confronted with his long dead wife Vetras and daughter Paris, all grown up as if she was alive. It is a traumatic experience, but they begin to work together, trying to head for the bridge, in spite of the conflicting sensor readings. | Tito is confronted with his long dead wife Vetras and daughter Paris, all grown up as if she was alive. It is a traumatic experience, but they begin to work together, trying to head for the bridge, in spite of the conflicting sensor readings. Before heading to the bridge he confront's Vetras and Paris taking a first step to finally bring some closure regarding their deaths. | ||
Back on the bridge they begin working to try and bring some solution to the hallucinations. They discover that micro subspace rifts are forming across the entire ships, possibly explaining the visions they’ve been experiencing. | |||
Tito suggests creating a metaphasic shield to put a stop to the rifts. Ensign Falt tracks down a bubble of ‘normal space’ travelling through the ship, it's Ensign Essa who claims he has come to help those who are in pain, by playing a Cagnal flute. It is latter revealed that an Cagnal artifact might be enhancing the problem and as Ensign Falt and Commander Williams head down to the JAG labs, a possible solution implies spreading out the music from the flute all trough the ship. As Tito stays on the bridge, Ensign Falt and Commander Williams discover that their visions are being caused by a small orb (only 10 centimetres across). Apparently it is a device that’s able to create a psychokinetic field that manipulates subspace just enough for the crew to experience hallucinations. With the Captain’s permission, they destroy the orb. | |||
With the orb having been destroyed and Essa’s music banishing the last remnants of the crew’s hallucinations, life aboard the ship slowly returns to normal… | |||
