The morning after the awards ceremony, the crew of the {{USS|Resolution}} were recalled to their ship and ordered to depart [[Deep Space 224]] immediately for the [[Celendi Nebula]]. The freighter ''Andalucia'' was on a trade mission, carrying terraforming equipment to a client on the far side of the nebula, when it was reported missing. On the bridge, Yalu used the ship's navigational sensors to extrapolate the probable course ''Andalucia'' took. He and Lieutenant Commander [[Addison MacKenzie]] surmised that ''Andalucia'' attempted to cut through the nebula to save time. The likely course passed dangerously close to a gravimetric distortion deep within the nebula. Yalu worked with Lieutenant Commander [[Devon Romjin]], Lieutenant [[David Knight]], Lieutenant junior grade [[Jamie MacNemar]], and Lieutenant junior grade [[Melody Delri'ise]] to enhance the sensors with a network of probes deployed in a hexagonal pattern about the ship. | |||
Upon ''Resolution'''s arrival at the nebula's borders, Yalu used the probe network to pilot the ship through the nebula's volatile gases. He maintained a safe distance from the gravitational anomaly, but its gravity unexpectedly increased and pulled the ship through. The ship transited the anomaly with minor damage, although all of the probes were lost. Surprisingly, the nebula had vanished and in its place was a star system with several planets. Yalu used the ship's stellar cartography database to find known stars as reference points, and discovered that the entire galaxy had rotated one-tenth of one degree. Based on this information, Yalu roughly estimated that ''Resolution'' had traveled 200,000 to 300,000 years into the future. | |||
Almost immediately, the crew encountered the [[Sau]], a lizard-like race with little interest in friendly first contact. The bridge crew found wreckage that matched ''Andalucia'' and lifesigns of familiar Alpha Quadrant species on one of the planets, and Fleet Captain [[Kalianna Nicholotti]] ordered an away team to locate the missing freighter crew. MacKenzie, Lieutenant Commander [[Genkos Adea]], Lieutenant Commander [[Tai Ilsam]], Ensign [[Aine Sherlock]], and Ensign [[Callium Treetus]] beamed down to the planet while Yalu and the bridge crew evaded the Sau and took refuge inside an asteroid belt. While the bridge crew worked to avoid an open confrontation with the Sau, Nicholotti fell ill and command passed to Chief Science Officer Lieutenant Commander [[Iefyr Farrel]]. | |||
