After the bittersweet battle with the [[Waagoshin]] the [[USS Hades]] aided the [[Tch'Kairn]] leaders to establish a stable government and to restore order to the newly liberated planet. During that time they also conducted a general treaty between the Tch'Kairn and the [[United Federation of Planets]] to insure future trade.

Once their diplomatic duties were complete, the Hades headed first to [[Geneva Station|Starbase Geneva]] for repair and then on to a series of dull patrol missions along the [[Cardassian]] and [[Romulan]] borders.

This period of time was extremely routine and the Hades crew was beginning to grow bored with the mundane tasks of day-to-day operations.

During this time, Baylon began to have serious nightmares concerning the loss of captain Sash. These nightmares were enhanced by the still sore physical pain caused by the injuries he had sustained in the battle with [[Alpha One]].

The constant reminders of his past failures began to weigh heavily on the officer and his problems began to show through in the performance of his duties. He began to miss reports as he took up regular drinking.

Eventually his lack of performance was noted by Captain [[Eva Straton]] and Baylon was dismissed as Chief Tactical Officer of the Hades.

To further complicate things, the Hades encountered a bizarre [[Temporal Wave]], that caught up the vessel and launched her along with several other starships, many from the [[52nd Fleet]] forward in time five years.

The ships that had been affected returned to the exact locations that they had disappeared from, only to be ordered by [[Starfleet Command]] to report to [[Khitomer]].

Upon arrival, the scope of the affect became apparent, as hundreds of Starships had been summoned. In addition to the ships that had been ordered to Khitomer, there were a large number of escort ships present as well. In fact, it was estimated that nearly 1/2 of the entire [[Starfleet]] was present at Khitomer.

The commanding officers of the ships were ordered to the surface where they were debriefed, later [[Starfleet Intelligence]] officers would conduct extensive interviews with the crews of those ships and determine that they had all, in fact, been affected by the same or similar phenomenon. Currently it is believed that this event is connected to the [[Subspace River]] and that it was somehow activated by the [[Borg]].

After the affected starships were released, they returned to their respective command stations for refit, upgrades and retraining of crew.

The Hades reported back to [[Geneva Station|Starbase Geneva]].
