[[Addison MacKenzie|Captain MacKenzie]] was greeted in her office by a man she believed to be her old friend and Chief Medical Officer, [[Genkos Adea|Cdr. Genkos Adea]], but this man was in reality his counterpart from the Shintverse, who was intending to lure the ''Artemis''' Captain into a trap. Meanwhile, [[Jovenan|Lt. Jovenan]] was headed to Sickbay to rendezvous with the Commander to discuss the effects of the prismic radiation, but she was met with no one but [[Gila Sadar|Ensign Sadar]], who revealed that the Commander had stopped attending to his more menial duties in Sickbay. As the Ensign started filling in [[Jovenan|Lt. Jovenan]] on some peculiar ways that Commander Adea's behavior had changed recently, [[Hiro Jones|Lt. Jones]] and [[Savel|Ensign Savel]] were going about their days elsewhere on Deck 7. They were intercepted by [[Xandeus Filistrien|PO Filistrien]] and informed of the impending attack, just as emergency lights trigger. | [[Addison MacKenzie|Captain MacKenzie]] was greeted in her office by a man she believed to be her old friend and Chief Medical Officer, [[Genkos Adea|Cdr.

[[Addison MacKenzie|Captain MacKenzie]], who's realized that something is off with the supposed Adea, tricks him and reveals his deception, which leads to an altercation between the two. The resultant phaser fire puts the ''Artemis'' into a ship-wide Red Alert, just as Major Dakora holds [[Hallia Yellir|Chief Engineer Yellir]] at gunpoint in Main Engineering and J infiltrates the Hazard Lab and steals the container holding the prismagons, killing one of the scientists on duty at the same time. | [[Addison MacKenzie|Captain MacKenzie]], who's realized that something is off with the supposed Adea, tricks him and reveals his deception, which leads to an altercation between the two.

He meets up with Colonel MacKenzie who has Mediator Jovenan with her, both as hostage and as leverage, but they're soon intercepted by Security. To the Mediator's frustration, however, the Colonel proves quite excellent at impersonating her counterpart. The only option left to her is daring. | ||
Meanwhile, [[Vitor Silveira|Lt. Silveira]] joins up with the Captain and the Colonel, who're facing each other down. Colonel Adea attempts deception, but it doesn't quite bite and [[Vitor Silveira|Lt. Silveira]] ends up backing his Captain. Seconds later, [[Genkos Adea|Cdr. Adea]]'s stolen combadge chirps with a request from the security team who's conversing with Colonel MacKenzie, and [[Jovenan (alternate)|Mediator Jovenan]]'s cry rings out. "She lies! She’s an imposter!"<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/zQ59DFU8n3s/m/2ySvSwqECQAJ ''Last Ditch Attempt''], Lt. Col. Adea, SD 240011.09</ref> Col. Adea - whose ruse is well and truly up - calls for her immediate execution, which triggers a vicious reaction from [[Vitor Silveira|Lt. Silveira]], but unbeknownst to the group, [[Jovenan (alternate)|Mediator Jovenan]] is promptly disintegrated by Colonel MacKenzie for her treason. | |||
Elsewhere, [[Hiro Jones|Lt. Jones]] and [[Savel|Ensign Savel]], along with [[Xandeus Filistrien|PO Filistrien]], arm themselves and head towards Transporter Room One, where they've received news that a group of ''Desdemonan'' crewmembers - including their own counterparts - are attempting to gain access to the transporter system. They have difficulty approaching the Transporter Room due to hostile fire, but following an ingenius distraction by Ensign Savel, the group manages to infiltrate the disputed territory. This leads to a shootout between the two groups, which culminates with [[Hiro Jones|Lt. Jones]] sustaining an injury, the death of [[Harry Sato|1st Lt. Sato]] and the capture of [[Savel (alternate)|2nd Lt. Savel]]. [[Gila Thevn|2nd Lt. Thevn]], however, evades capture, but Transporter Room One is once again in Artemisian hands.<ref>[https://groups.google.com/g/sb118-artemis/c/JL0_E1hYe9U ''Look at Me, I am the Doctor Now''], Ensign Savel, SD 240011.14</ref> | |||
At this time, Lt. Olivera broadcasts a ship-wide commmunication announcing his succesful takeover of the bridge, and calling for the complete surrender of the Artemis' crew. | |||
[[Jovenan|Lt. Jovenan]] - who was already suspicious due to the irregular behavior exhibited by 'Commander Adea' - enlists [[Gila Sadar|Ensign Sadar]] on a mission of breaking-and-entering, in an attempt at locating the real [[Genkos Adea|Cdr. Adea]]. They locate him in his quarters, gagged and tied in the closer, and manage to rescue him, just before they receive a communiqué from [[Addison MacKenzie|Cpt. MacKenzie]], who intends to retake the bridge from Lt. Olivera, and needs more able hands. The pacifistic [[Gila Sadar|Ensign Sadar]] hesitates, but a desperate [[Vitor Silveira|Lt. Silveira]] pleads with her, and the group heads off. After pretending to be Desdemonan crewmembers having succesfully captured [[Addison MacKenzie|the Captain]] and [[Vitor Silveira|Lt. Silveira]], the group manages to retake the bridge and post up there in order to aid the liberation efforts. | |||
[[Gila Thevn|2nd Lt. Thevn]] - who thus far had evaded capture - sets an explosive in Primary Sickbay, that catches [[Savel|Ensign Savel]] and [[Hiro Jones|Lt. Jones]] by surprise. The resultant explosion grievously wounds the Lieutenant, and [[Genkos Adea|Cdr. Adea]] beams down directly from the Bridge to go into emergency surgery. While unconscious, [[Hiro Jones|Lt. Jones]] has an out-of-body experience, where he does some soul-searching with an old friend of his - [[Kayla Drex]] - and while the surgery is a resounding success, a tired [[Genkos Adea|Cdr. Adea]] informs him that the road back to peak physical health will be long and arduous. [[Hiro Jones|Lt. Jones]] takes these news with surprising ease, feeling a new sense of inner peace and purpose after his hallucination(?). | |||
Elsewhere on the ship, [[Talos Dakora|Lt.Cdr. Dakora]] stares down Colonel MacKenzie. His interrogations as to her identity are interrupted by the appearance of "J", who - after learning of the demise of [[Jovenan (alternate)|Mediator Jovenan]] - intends to forcibly execute the Colonel for her unjust termination of someone he considered a good person. Shocked by the brutality demonstrated by the Desdemonan cyborg, [[Talos Dakora|Lt.Cdr. Dakora]]'s hand is forced and he assists the Colonel in killing the errant "J". He then attempts to subdue the Colonel, but she proves as tenacious as her Artemisian counterpart, and soon gains the upper hand. [[Talos Dakora|The Lt.Cdr.]] is saved by the timely arrival of Ensigns [[Kawarda]] and [[Jaseb Chevalier|Chevalier]], who eventually see through the Colonel's attempt at impersonating the Captain, and she is stunned for her trouble. | |||
