The crew of the Excalibur is recalled early from shore-leave by Rear Admiral Ambrosius Corvus Regillensis of Starfleet Intelligence. In a briefing, the Admiral dismisses Commanders [[Yogan Yalu]] and [[Genkos Adea]] for reasons unknown. The remaining crew are informed they are being tasked with uncovering the mystery surrounding the rapid advancement of Demes II, a Class-M planet with a pre-warp society that has been developing it's industrial age faster than expected. The trouble begins when Admiral Regillensis reveals they will have 48 hours to prepare for the 3-month mission, with no contact or support from the Excalibur or Starfleet for the duration. | The crew of the Excalibur is recalled early from shore-leave by Rear Admiral Ambrosius Corvus Regillensis of Starfleet Intelligence.

Teamed up with Commander Addison MacKenzie, Lieutenants Hallia Yellir and Meidra Sirin and Dr. Carol Boeschg, Talos finds himself undercover in the bustling Industrial Age metropolis of Lakonna. Posing recently arrived family from a distant rural community, the team quickly settles in and finds jobs to both support their cover identities and provide them with Demesian currency to support the mission. Adapting to the comparably primitive society isn't comfortable or easy, but Talos soon finds himself employed at one of the many recently constructed factories. The team soon discovers that the factory is producing parts that are far too complex for the Demesian's technology level in a hidden section of the factory and during a covert raid in the middle of the night, find a decades old Starfleet Replicator is the source of the anachronistic tech. Their raid interrupted by the Lakonna religious police, the Excalibur team scatters in the night and Talos is knocked out and captured by an unknown party. | |||
He wakes up to find himself tied to a chair in the house with a man who takes off his hood to reveal that he is a human man named Mike Kallas. Kallas reveals that he was part of an illegal Starfleet Intelligence gathering operation 15 years ago, commanded by none other than (then) Captain Regillensis. Something went wrong and the hidden outpost was abandoned in place, leaving two human Starfleet Officers alone with no way to get home. Promising to find a way to get Mike off of Demes II, Talos is reunited with MacKenzie and the team and they use Kallas' communication devices to speak to the other team, stationed in Jupe, who has seemingly discovered the remnants of the old base and has been selling and trying to reverse engineer the tech. | |||
In the end, Rear Admiral Regillensis is arrested while trying to flee on his personal yacht and the Excalibur stays on station above Demes long enough to beam every piece of Starfleet tech it's sophisticated sensors can detect. | |||
Though the crew wonders, was it already too late? |
