Now aboard the ''Artemis'', Commander Adea's mindless rage was turned upon Silveira. In their impromptu wrestling match, Genkos managed to draw a hidden blade and stab Silveira in the shoulder. Jovenan let herself out of the confinement, ran to the controls, and reasserted the field. After contacting sickbay, she beamed Silveira directly there, leaving Adea trapped but unable to cause more harm to others. Jovenan then called a security detachment to the transporter room to subdue the XO and bring him to sickbay as well. | Now aboard the ''Artemis'', Commander Adea's mindless rage was turned upon Silveira.

When he came to, Adea found himself strapped to a biobed where Lieutenant Morgan had patched up Silveira and was now trying to get to the bottom of Adea's erratic behavior. After scans and some deliberation, he administered a drug to the Betazoid, which seemed to have the desired effect. | When he came to, Adea found himself strapped to a biobed where Lieutenant Morgan had patched up Silveira and was now trying to get to the bottom of Adea's erratic behavior.

Now with their destination at hand, they had to determine a way to broadcast the same signal at a level that would effect all the currently-mad Da'al. Lieutenant Yellir suggested connecting the device to the hopper's engine, which once attuned to the proper modulation, would upon overload cause a massive shockwave, essentially permeating everything and everyone within the affected area. The medical ramifications would be disorientation, possible nausea, and a headache for the history records, but would also disrupt the Da'al's influence over the Da'allium, which would allow the compounds molecular bonds to break apart naturally, rendering the substance inert. Once the Da'allium was gone, the theory was its effects would vanish as well. MacKenzie gave the go-ahead, and the duo got to work as soon as they landed. | Now with their destination at hand, they had to determine a way to broadcast the same signal at a level that would effect all the currently-mad Da'al.

But because a day in Starfleet isn't complete without an immediate and particularly perilous deadline, no sooner had the hopper settled than a new mob was seen - this one accompanied by large construction vehicles - moving slowly but surely in their direction. | But because a day in Starfleet isn't complete without an immediate and particularly perilous deadline, no sooner had the hopper settled than a new mob was seen - this one accompanied by large construction vehicles - moving slowly but surely in their direction. With this new sense of urgency, Commander MacKenzie led all but Yellir and Jones away from the hopper toward the closest government building in the hopes this would draw the crowd away from the craft and give the two remaining officers enough time to perform the modifications to the craft. The plan worked ... mostly. About 75% of the crowd followed the larger group, who once inside the complex, sought to devise a way to boost their bioreadings, drawing more of the mob away. | ||
Back at the hopper, Lieutenant Yellir completed her modifications, performed a test of the circuitry, then initiated the overload. As soon as she and ensign Jones began sprinting away from the time bomb that had previously been a transport vessel, the remaining mob contingent spotted them and gave chase. When the craft reached critical, the energy surged through the modified stasis device, causing a catastrophic (but planned) failure of the engines, resulting in a sizable explosion and violent shockwave of fine-tuned harmonic resonance that disrupted the Da'al's telepathic link with the Da'allium momentarily. The results were threefold: (1) the shockwave knocked down every person within 100 meters of the small crater (all that marked the former position of the hopper), (2) the accompanying disorientation and nausea for those within the same proximity created a "puke fest" event, and (3) the Da'al's link to the compound was severed, allowing it to break apart, neutralizing the threat. The only problem was, the range of this action was extremely limited. | |||
Hearing the explosion and feeling the resultant tremors, MacKenzie and the rest of her group returned to the site to meet back up with the two would-be pyrotechnicians. (This is picked up in the "Conclusion" section) | |||

With the ground team reunited, MacKenzie began asking about a solution with a larger area of effect that ''didn't'' involve blowing anything else up. The team began throwing out ideas, but in the midst of this conversation, prompted by the explosion, the ''Artemis'' beamed the entire group (including Erbil and Teolin) aboard. This development allowed the team to receive (and provide) medical treatment. | |||
Sickbay, at this point was extremely full. Cmdr MacKenzie ordered Dakora and Osuna to remain in the transporter room until two new Ensigns (Savel and Kader) arrived, at which time they would beam down to the planet in order to retrieve the shuttlecraft. The rest of the party headed to sickbay. Once there, MacKenzie debriefed Adea, Silveira, and Jovenan. After patching up Jones and Yellir, Lieutenant Morgan was brought up to speed by Jones on just what was affecting Cmdr Adea. Yellir adjusted a new device, which Jones then used to unscramble Adea's brainwaves. | |||
This done, MacKenzie ordered Jovenan to accompany Jones and Yellir back to ground zero of the meteorite impact, where the forcefield barrier fence around the crater would be calibrated and employed as a loudspeaker of sorts, broadcasting the same harmonic frequency from the hopper, hopefully with the same benefits minus the vomit. | |||
