After a heartfelt reunion, Lieutenant Jacin receives medical care and a great deal of concern from her shipmates. No examination is needed to see that the woman has been traumatized by her experiences: her head's been shaved, and implanted with several cranial plates with unclear purpose. Its clear she suffered other injuries, but those have been mysteriously healed. For the moment, Doctors Ohnari and El'Heem deem it safe enough to remove all but one of the plates (leaving one at the base of her brain, considering it too dangerous to surgically remove without starbase facilities), and Ohanri convinces Jacin to stimulate the re-growth of her hair after the procedure. | |||
Meanwhile, upon reaching the edge of the void, Khitomer's bridge crew narrows in on the distress call, and quickly recognizes it as an old Federation code. A brief investigation reveals that the source is in fact much closer than first thought, and closing the gap reveals [[Constellation class]] '''USS Eridani''' to be the source of the call. The ship is the source of a great deal of speculation, hanging suspended in a slow, three-axis spin. When the questions start to add up with no answers in sight, Shayne orders Nolen Hobart to lead an away team onto the ship. | |||
Hobart takes bridge officers Connor Dewitt, Ezra Zerva, Ras El'Heem, and Richard Matthews as well as engineer Ginny Lacy and security team leader Vanta Nebir aboard '''USS Eridani''', and the team prepares to find anything aboard the derelict ship packing no small amount of security and engineering equipment. The team beams aboard, and makes their way to the engineering section of ship where they force their way in with a crowbar. Once inside, they begin powering up subsystems and trying determine what happened to the drifting ship, only for the ship to begin righting itself seemingly of its own volition. Moments later, the ship powers its shields and impulse engines, jamming communications as it darts off into the void without any inertial dampers to protect the away team from the harsh acceleration... | |||
