The crew go on their first mission from Asteria. They are beamed aboard the Enterprise in 2257 following it's encounter with one of the red signals.
Enterprise is waiting for tow ships to arrive to take them to space dock to be repaired but several members of the skeleton crew have come down with acute cases of Temporal Psychosis due to an unknown temporal anomaly.

Beaming aboard Enterprise, the crew splits up with Savage and Okane going to investigate the ship's databanks and Dulmur and Tate heading to sickbay to investigate those suffering.

The databanks prove to be useless as they and the ships sensors failed during Enterprise's encounter with the signal. Meanwhile in sickbay, Tate starts working on the patients (who in their temporal psychosis can see him) whilst Dulmur goes to the bridge and investigates.

Using their tricorders, Savage and Okane find a chroniton trail leading to the anomaly - it is embeded in Enterprise's warp core. Dulmur joins them and reveals that the tow ships have arrived and are preparing to tractor Enterprise - they have about 30 mins. They discover that the anomaly is feeding on Enterprise's reduced warp output and is growing rapidly. Should she go to warp, the anomaly will expand and destroyed or displace all 3 ships.

With Ardoxx left behind due to a nasty case of the Rigellian flu, it comes down to Savage, Okane and Dulmur to find a solution. They eventually come up with one and use one of Enterprise's warp shuttles and it's more powerful warp core (due to Enterprise's damage) to form an anti-chroniton field and attract the anomaly away.
However this solution will kill the 12 officers aboard with cases of acute temporal psychosis. Savage decides to execute the plan anyway due to the time restriction, much to the anger of Tate.

The shuttle isn't powerful enough to maintain the anti-chroniton field and starts coming apart. Tate beams the crew away just as the anomaly collides with the shuttle, annihilating both.


The Ariana crew beam back to Asteria - Tate still angry storms out and heads to sickbay. Okane goes after him.

Meanwhile, Echo fleet command have decided that Savage needs to know about the 'Secret of Asteria.' Blake takes Savage down to a hidden part of the station, disguised as the LAIS and computer core. The 'secret' is an artefact which is essentially an ancient prison - and it houses an even more ancient prisoner. A member of a species who once controlled much of the Milky Way. It is a Shedai...
Savage hears the words 'NO BELONG' multiple times before succumbing to the pain and collapsing.
