-Mel and Fal return to the bridge and Mel notes that after eight days, Armina has still not acknowledged Christopher Hall in the slightest. Christopher starts sliding over to the XO's chair, but Mel calls out, "Armina, can you join me in my ready room?" Armina gets up as Christopher reverses course. Armina follows Mel into her ready room but refuses to sit down when offered the couch. Mel asks her, "it's obvious you're not happy that Commander Hall is here." Armina's face remains blank, but her voice has an edge as she explains, "Lieutenant Commander Christopher Hall was the tactical officer on board the //USS Phoenix//. When Captain Maxwell entered Cardassian space illegally and I objected, it was Christopher who marched me off the bridge at phaser point. He was blindly following orders."+Mel and Fal return to the bridge and Mel notes that after eight days, Armina has still not acknowledged Christopher Hall in the slightest.

 Mel concedes, "Having a phaser in your face can be traumatic." Armina insists, "You don't understand, captain. It's very different when the person holding the phaser to your face is wearing the same uniform as you." Mel considers Armina's words and concedes, "Having never experienced that, I believe you are correct. It's just that your reticence to engage him has made things uneasy on the bridge." Armina replies, "in all fairness, he has evolved. The reason that I could serve under Colin Buldini was that while he supported Captain Maxwell, he hesitated, and he had doubts. Christopher Hall did not. However, if my presence is disruptive, I will leave the bridge." Mel concedes, "Having a phaser in your face can be traumatic."

-Mel turns to Fal and he reports, "I've detected thirty-seven separate chroniton streams emerging from this area of space alone. The ruptures here are so bad that the entire space-time continuum is affected." Mel wonders, "Could the Rupture Zone have been created by temporal events?" Christopher orders, "Fal, K'tral. I want intensive scans on that message and whatever you can get from that probe." Fal states, "There is a second message compressed in the stream under the first; I shall attempt to separate it." K'tral assists him with multiple filters to remove the white noise and they manage to get a closer scan of the probe. In doing so, they inadvertently provide an uplink, and the probe immediately starts uploading all of the data it has collected. With this linkup, Fal reports, "This probe is Starfleet, captain! Identification code states it belongs to the //USS Varich-A//!"+Mel turns to Fal and he reports, "I've detected thirty-seven separate chroniton streams emerging from this area of space alone.

-Fal works for a few minutes and then the second message plays. The bridge crew hears over the intercom, //"I am Captain [[trek:characters:shaytaal|Shay'taal]] of the Federation starship// USS Varich//. We have run aground on a subspace sandbar. Do not attempt a rescue. I repeat, do not attempt a rescue. This region of space is so destabilized, another attempt could have vast repercussions. We believe a subspace implosion may allow us to escape.
