And so he proposed a ship wide drill, so hey could test the full potential of the Excalibur. Since they had a brief pause, and no assigned mission, the Excalibur headed to an asteroid field for the exercise. Captain Nicholotti was assigned the Opposing force leader, as the newly minted XO Lieutenant Commander Livingston, Ben for Vitor, was in charge of the Excalibur. He was aided as temporary XO by Lieutenant Commander Brek. Unknown to them the Captain had recruited Lieutenant Commander Orman and Ennsign Azin as her insiders. As the saboteurs tried hard to cripple the Excalibur, and when things were really turning a bit out of hand, to the advantage of the Opposition, the Captain decided to finish the drill, but since she willingly returned Vitor called it a victory to them, once he "captured" her. | And so he proposed a ship wide drill, so hey could test the full potential of the Excalibur.

Testing continued as they now tried the slipstream engine of the Excalibur. But when they were pulled back into normal space, some of the crew, like Vitor, began experiencing vivid hallucinations. As if that wasn't enough they received a distress call from a nearby ship. That ship was being swallowed by some unknown force. After rescuing the crew of the ship, the Excalibur began to learn more about their surroundings. They were near a station made of biotechnical material, Erscyne Station. They transferred the survivor back but didn't get any other communication, until a massive energy wave sweeps through hitting both station and the Excalibur. | Testing continued as they now tried the slipstream engine of the Excalibur.

It was later revealed that the survivor the Excalibur saved was none other than the High Chief Merchant of the Erscyne Trade Allianace. After first-contact, they discovered life-signs of beings inhabiting the same space as Excalibur, but trapped in “pocket” universes. They managed to retrieve one of them but the strain was such that ship's power was gone. As was Lieutenant Commander Orman, who appeared to vanish into thin air. | |||
Trying to solve the puzzle that was the "Nothing", as Vitor aptly named it, they tried to scan the inside of it. Since they need some data and calculations Vitor meet Ensign Veradis Fai for the first time. | |||
The attempt failed and Vitor was hurt by the blow out of his station. In Sickbay Vitor started to devise a plan, in an attempt to pilot into the "Nothing" to make contact with anyone or anything possibly inside. Stealing a shuttle he tries to make a run for the anomaly. He is stopped, restrained to confinement in Sickbay where Captain Nicholotti, who thought he was trying to collapse the void, confines him and relieves him of duty until a court martial is held. Vitor didn't stay long as power surge let the confinement shields down and he made his way out, looking for Fai. He was with her in the Science lab when he heard the news, Captain Nicholotti managed to enter the void and retrieve all those stuck there. At her own cost, because she was considered lost. | |||
After a memorial in her honor the Excalibur set's up for Vitor's court martial, presided by Admiral Jaxx. Vitor his charged with insubordination, reckless endangerment of the ship and undefined entities, dereliction of duty, attempted murder of countless Starfleet Officer and members of the Erscyne Trade Alliance representatives and involuntary manslaughter of Fleet Captain Kalianna Nicholotti. He had asked Commander Brek to defend him, and Commander Orman was the prosecutor. In the end he was only found guilty of insubordination and was demoted from Lieutenant to Lieutenant Junior Grade. The Excalibur was assigned a new Captain, but surprises waited on the next days. | |||
