Making short jumps to WARP to avoid the salvos of the Behemoth they were facing, the Ronin bought as much time as possible to allow their away team to return to the mothership. Taking damage that would have destroyed a less sturdy ship, the team did not idle in battle either, but instead was deciphering the communications they had been intercepting from those unknown enemies who seemed to have stolen one of the best kept secrets from the Federation's scientists. When they picked up the teams and were about to leave, they received a package of information: a map and a declaration of war from the new growing faction in the Alpha Isles: The [[Lattice Alliance]], an ill-fated association of [[Tholian]] and [[Sheliak]] with the aim of conquering the whole area.
