=== Chapter Four : Trouble on Delorea ===
The peaceful Banquet Hall ended with Council Member of Delorea and Head of House Tamack LaoR'K's invitation for Captain Mal Avatar to spend the night in his residence, against recommendations from the ship's FO, Lt.Cmdr. C'elest Moranta. With enough basis to suspect romulan presence, the crew returning to the USS COLUMBIA devised a strategy to deploy an anti-cloak detection grid. Meanwhile, later that night, breaking news from the local broadcasting system brought startling news about Captain Avatar's strange dissapearance from LaoR'K's estate. In the interim, Lt. Tash Zubowskivich was seriously injured when attacked by a rogue delorean at House of LaoR'K's daughter own house, Matodax, without her consent or knowledge... They were safely transported back to the Columbia, and while Lt. Zubowskivich was beeing treated in sickbay, Matodax provided first hand information and later returned to the planet's surface, to see if she could provide assistance in searching for Captain Avatar.
=== Chapter Five : The Romulans Show Their Faces ===
A derelict Ferengi ship found intact in the vicinity was savaged by Lt. T'Lea's away team and used in the search of the suspected romulan ship's presence, but  unfortunately crashed before it could provide any assistance in creating an anti-cloak detection grid. Also, before Matodax could find the USS Columbia's commanding officer, an infiltrated Tal Shiar agent in the romulan ambassador's team, found Captain Avatar and transported him to the IRS Nexoran-Class warhawk Dewa... While the romulan ambassador Kogut and his assistant, Centurion Tenec, originally sent to dispute the planet's alignment between the Federation and the Romulan Star empire, have requested political asylum on Columbia. At the same time, the Romulan warhawk's commander has beamed down a security detail force in search for the real mission objective of the romulan's presence: a strange Iconian artifact, which might explain the accelerated rhythm of delorean's evolution. Still, with no formal treaties between Delorea and the Federation, there are no grounds for beaming down from USS COLUMBIA an away team to prevent the romulan's from obtaining their goal.
=== Chapter Six : The Iconian Artifact ===
However, a Starfleet Observation team under Lt.Cmdr. Michael Soul's command already on Delorea, has been contacted and joined Lt. T'Lea's crashed team, to try and retrieve the Iconian artifact before the romulans do.
=== Chapter Seven : Conclusion ===
The Columbia is concluding her mission to Delorea.  With the planet on the brink of a civil war, Captain Avatar has returned to the surface with Counselor Gear, Lieutenant Alexander and a security team.  Their goal is to advise Speaker Soltus, the leader of the Delorean people as to how to avoid this destructive conflict.  It seems unlikely that Delorea will be admitted into the Federation at this time, but with the aid of Avatar and his advisors, it is possible that membership could happen in the future, especially now with the Romulans out of the picture.  Meanwhile, back on the Columbia, Lieutenants T'Lea, Zubowskivich, and Dickens are in the process of unraveling the mystery behind an Iconian artifact that was recovered from the planet's surface.  The artifact appears to be a power source that is used to generate the gateways that the Iconians once used for inter-planetary travel.
The Romulans that had at one point been a major threat to the success of this mission are now preparing to leave the system.  The Romulan ship's commanding officer lead an away team to the planet's surface where they met up with Lieutenants T'Lea, Alexander, and Commander Soul.  The Romulan commander, in an attempt to prove Iconian ancestry of the Romulans and Vulcans stepped into a gateway that lead to Iconia's golden age on their homeworld.  However, at the moment he stepped into the temporal gateway, the world was seen destroyed by invading conquerors, thus missing the golden age and stranding himself and part of his strike team deep in the past.
