Back on the ''Artemis'', the team takes bloodsamples to prove none of them are Changelings. After the screening, most of the team go to Sickbay, while MacKenzie, Jovenan and Vanlith head to the Bridge. Catching up with Dakora, Silveira and T'Ama, the three take their stations. While discussing if they should continue to fight or flee from the Cube, Jovenan detects triquantum waves, indicating the Cube is attempting to open a transwarp conduit.<ref name="Home is where the air smells normal" /> Worried the waves may destroy the ''Artemis'', Vanlith devices a plan to "surf" on the triquantum waves. Jovenan assists in executing this plan, as does Hopper, who had joined the bridge crew just earlier. The plan works, but the Cube escapes. Jovenan's calculations show that it's heading was to Sector 001. With their communications array damaged by the Changeling infiltrators and the warp drive partially unavailable due to taking damage by the waves, they are unable to warn Starfleet or pursue the Cube.<ref>[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-O0uiNg7AjNhfsxRLJPR Our little boat rocking alone in stormy waves], Lt Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240107.04</ref> They decide that they should do their best to warn Starfleet, but they won't return to the closest starbase but continue straight to Earth.<ref>[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-O18xN8eIfT1GvuTmsns Alone in the darkness], Lt Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240107.07</ref> | Back on the ''Artemis'', the team takes bloodsamples to prove none of them are Changelings.

The ''Artemis'' arrived to Earth just in time for the Frontier Day celebrations to begin. Fleet Admiral Elizabeth Shelby led the parade, announcing a demostration of the new Fleet Formation Mode. As soon as Fleet Formation was activated, it took over the ''Artemis'' and disabled the crew's control. Shelby's speech was interrupted by Admiral Jean-Luc Picard, who had also found out about the Borg and Changeling plans and was trying to warn the gathered fleet. Before any reaction by the fleet, a loud screech was heard, and the younger members of the crew, including Chevalier, began to behave unusually. Assimilated remotely by the Borg, they attacked the crew. Protected by Silveira and Dakora, Jovenan, MacKenzie, Hopper and [[Nathan Richards]] from the Amity Outpost managed to avoid being killed by the attacking drones and got into the turbolifts.<ref>[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-O1vIxIuPZwh8gzVrnCq The day of joy and tears, part 2], Lt Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240107.16</ref> While the others were safely on the turbolift as the doors closed, Dakora and Richards ended up left behind. Panicking Jovenan had to be calmed down by Silveira and MacKenzie. The team decide to try and reach the Transporter Room 1, where they can gain access to a weapons locker and arm themselves.<ref>[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-O23rlhQ1CQtDnC4pcF3 Panic makes a bad fighter], Lt Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240107.18</ref> Distracting the drones in the transporter room, they manage to overpower them and take the weapons.

On the turbolift, the team learns that the crew of the ''Excelsior'' had managed to regain their ship, just before the Borg destroy the ship. The team makes it to Deck 8, where they find more drones and survivors. Jovenan suggests they send create a distraction using their combadges to trick the Borg into thinking they are heading somewhere else.<ref>[https://sims.starbase118.net/single/Artemis/-O2UifHIOWZMcW-iCsIA Planning is difficult, can't we just play action heroes again?], Lt Jovenan, {{USS|Artemis|A}}, 240107.23</ref> | |||
