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. | Up on the Eagle, the survey team realizes the asteroids are made out of alucanite, which is magnetic.

The Eagle also reasons out a way to bounce the asteroids off the Ring's odd platforms in a way akin to skipping a stone on a pond, albeit on a wildly different scale, while modulating a tractor beam to make it spin. 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. | The Eagle also reasons out a way to bounce the asteroids off the Ring's odd platforms in a way akin to skipping a stone on a pond, albeit on a wildly different scale, while modulating a tractor beam to make it spin and hopefully bounce off and back into space.

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.
