Up on the Eagle, the survey team realizes the asteroids are made out of alucanite, which is magnetic. Something very helpful in trying to deflect the asteroid. In the midst of this epiphany, Dekas reaches out to them for any information that might help make their side of things easier, and Freck relays the information. | |||

Saving an extinction event, although it will still cause problems with the day-night cycle facilitated by the platforms, and some radioactive debris from the impact. | ||
Along the way, Lt. Commander John Kendrick returns from a brief leave of absence and reaches out to the Eagle when he gets the asteroid readings on his own ship's computers to help out. | Along the way, Lt.

With the magnetic information, and the suggestion to polarize the shielding, the Engineers plan to just that, and work with Gogigobo's team to use the shuttlecraft Nenana, other shuttlecrafts, and some drones to use as a center point to create something of a Halbrach array; a magnetic field on one side but not the other. | |||
Lieutenant Neshala connects all coordinating teams to easier talk to each other from where she is in Operations with Captain Oddas, Lt. Commander Stelek, and the new Ensign arrival, Doctor Irwin Goldner. | |||
In the meantime, the time coordinating gives roughly five minutes left to get it all in order before the asteroid inevitably hits. | |||
