Act I (Page 1 - 3)
Starlight
The S.S Starlight reportedly heads to Omicron Theta upon the opening of the episode.
Bryan Davies, in the presence of several associates, contacted his mother on Omicron Theta, a fact that earnt him a sarcastic quip from Irish during his serving of Ng Ka Py to his guests. Eventually that were joined by Sitarra, whom seemed intent on "keeping an eye on the captain", and were offered a job by one of the unknown guests.
- During this transmission, it is discovered that Davies has a poor relationship with his father, whom he only referred to him as Him and that Davies has some similarities to the same person.
The job that had been offered them was a "raid" of sorts upon the planet of Talos, Davies later pulled out an item from a hidden compartment, suspended within a forcefield, the item becoming revealed as dilithium. A fuel source either destroyed or mind by either the Borg or the Federation in either the Alpha or Beta Quadrant.
- Inspite of the agreement of his crew, various questions rise about the Talosians and the General Order that was attributed to the Talos Star Group. This is later exacerbated via the arrival of R'ro, with questions of the Captain's sanity.
A plan from Davies arises about the acquisition of a cloaking device for the Starlight, in the aftermath of which Davies began to contemplate whether the morality of his newfound crew would be a hindrance upon the completion of his mission.
Talos
Scene opens with Aegis McIsh on the hunt for a Hrrathga through the wilds of Talos, the young Caitain lamenting on the concept of there being two sorts of creatures, one hunter and the other prey and that were he to fail in this hunt, he it would be many days before he could gain another opportunity to eat.
Pouncing upon and slaying his prey, Aegis began to consume, or rather gorge, the creature that he had slain. Several hours would pass after this, with Aegis having consumed all that was physically possible before standing and glimpsing down at his mutilated prey. The Caitain is then buffeted with memories of a Borg assimilation.
An assimilation which featured many of his siblings becoming drones alongside members of the freighter crew. Aegis is reminded of fighting "tooth, tail and claw" to escape and deliver retribution for the act. Further memories rise, of Aegis being considered "not worthy of assimilation" by the Queen of this particular group of Borg and of being disposed of upon Talos as the last surviving member of his family.
- It is learnt at this time that the family of Aegis was travelling to Trill to reside with his mother's parents while his own parents along with the older kits, had remained behind on Atlantis in a show of support and strength.
Aegis then laments that following this time, he had become more savage and hunter orientated, his Caitain heritage having drowned out the Trill heritage that formed part of him. It is then that, Aegis, overwhelmed by his memories, attempts to remove the images by physically beating at his own head. The strikes causing some wounds to open upon his head before fleeing from the animal that had caused the sudden lapse into memory and scaling towards a tree to drop into an unsteady sleep.
Starlight
Sitarra takes the seat that she had been asked to take on the Command Deck, working with the controls and lamenting on her lack of awe at the technology that greeted her and later ponders on the possibility gaining her two disruptors.
