Lt. Commander Torc threw the Captain over his shoulder and ran outside in order to transport back to the ship. The rest of the crew followed shortly thereafter.
As the crew attempted to lead the system, an Xaldi cruiser gave chase, chasing the Tiberius into the nearby nebula. Meanwhile, medical crews, lead by Lt. Commander Jerrynn, started to work their magic on the Captain. First they had to stop his bleeding. Then they had to stabilize his head trauma before they could stabilize his neurological damage.
While the medical team worked on the Captain, the crew on the bridge were dealing with the Xaldi cruiser. A firefight broke out, and the Tiberius quickly found themselves out numbered (and out gunned) 3 to 1. With all of the shaking and rattling of the battle, it made the medical teams job a little more difficult. However, help quickly arrived in the form of the Mupwl' and the Mogami, both of which were able to dispatch the Xaldi ships. This allowed the medical team to finish their work in stabilizing, and saving, the Captain's life.
After informing Starfleet of what happened, the Tiberius (among the rest of the ships in the Expanse) were recalled to Narendra Station for a scientific briefing. Someone has been able to piece together everything that has been going on in the Expanse.
Once the briefing was over, and questions were asked (and answered), Admiral Walker and Dr. Taliaferro tasked the Tiberius to investigate some mysterious sensor data coming from the Candidate 3 system. At this point, the live stream of sensor data in the room suddenly went dark. Further investigation revealed that the Romulans destroyed their probe. The crew was tasked to immediately depart for the system for additional investigation (in addition to their previous investigative tasks).
Once in the system, scans didn't find any signs of the ship, but found interesting targets on the surface of the 3rd planet to investigate. The Mupwl', who was also tasked to help explore the system, decided to cloak and investigate the 2 other planets (both of which didn't originate from this system).
One the surface, the away team found a good spot to beam down to and investigate. What they found matched some previous technology they found: carvings and crystal structures cut unnaturally that occasionally blinked blue. Additional scans revealed a stronger power source a few clicks away, so the team headed that way.
When they arrived at the building where the power signature was registering, they were shocked at what they saw: a group of Romulans talking to a truly alien creature. Only moments later did the alien welcome them by speaking to the away team with telepathy. He advised the group that he has no issues with them and suggests they sneak around to the other side of the building to find the answers they were seeking.
The group obliged and made their way around to the back of the building undetected by the Romulans. Inside they found what appeared to be a huge power factory, that the building itself was the battery. They soon were discovered by the Romulans, and a firefight broke out. Having fairly easily dispatched of the Romulans, the away team went back to investigate the structure.
They soon came across a blue glowing fog-like scene, like something was trying to materialize but was being blocked. After making some adjustments, the image appeared. It was a female alien, similar to the one they saw outside. She claimed to be of the Tilakaal and were trapped. But the rest of the message was cut off as the image disappeared.
The alien outside soon appeared and told the crew they were no longer welcomed here or in the Expanse. And in a blink of an eye, the crew found themselves not only back on the Tiberius but that the Tiberius was also back at Narendra Station!
After making their report to Admiral Walker, the Admiral recalled the entire fleet to the station for a council of war. But what does this mean? Join us next time as we find out more about the Tilakaal and more! Thanks for reading!
