| While the away team was working hard to locate Eva Straton, [[Aleksander 'Sasha' Stolev]] was beginning to experienced a state of shared dreams with the missing Marine Colonel. Most likely this occurrence was a direct result of the telepathic link that they shared as Imzadi. It did however allow both Sasha and Eva to become aware of the presence of the other. Although Stolev had very little ability to influence the setting of the dream sequences, he was able to convey information to Eva through that medium.
| | ---- |
| | |
| It was this information that caused Eva to begin to doubt her calling as the anointed and set out to find Stolev and the others.

| |
| On the second day after leaving the village, [[Matthew McLaren]] devised an experiment that proved that the problem with their technology was related to the quantum state of the planet [[Iradon]].
| |
| | |
| With the permission of [[Susan Rivers]], McLaren, Moctatso, and Linskens took horses and headed back towards the [[Rameses]].
| |
| | |
| The following day the rest of the away team, accompanied by [[Bowen]]'s escort were attacked and captured on the roadway by troops loyal to the Duke.
| |
| | |
| A series of questioned and remained imprisoned for a few days.
| |
| | |
| ==The Raid and Arania==
| |
| | |
| On the way back to the shuttle craft, Matthew and the others encountered a raid underway. Members of the Duke's forces were systematically attacking a small village and driving the inhabitants out of their homes or murdering them.
| |
| | |
| Among them was [[Arania]] a relatively low-ranking member of the local temple of [[Alazara]]. matthew noticed her leaving the village while being pursued by some of the raiders.
| |
| | |
| In a misplaced sense of duty, he rode down into the village, despite warnings from Linskens and Moctatso. He quickly overtook the raiders chasing Arania, but not before they had injured her.
| |
| | |
| Matthew came to her rescue, dispatching the two soldiers and preventing their plans to kill her. She fell unconscious from her injuries and Matthew loathe to leave her, managed to get her on the horse and brought her along.
| |
| | |
| It was originally his plan to release her when she had recovered, but there was a strong attraction between them and once they had managed to establish communications, it was apparent that they had fallen in love.
| |
| | |
| == Repairing the Rameses==
| |
| [[File:Arania 1.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Arania McLaren]]
| |
| Arania proved to be a helpful companion to the men as they worked hard to repair the Runabout. Now that she had witnessed the advanced technology, there was little reason to send her away. She hunted and gathered local foods for their consumption. Her contributions allowed the team to work nearly non-stop.
| |
| | |
| [[John Linskens]] worked hard to perform the complex calculations necessary to allow McLaren to recalibrate critical systems. Matthew was assisted by Moctatso.
| |
| | |
| On the third day, Skeel became irrational. He lost all semblance of reason and attacked Arania. When Matthew intervened, the man then shifted his attentions to the engineer. Twice the [[Operations Officer]] attempted to brain him with a club. Finally forced to defend himself, Matthew struck the man. Skeel fell onto a broken branch which had been sheared during the crash. He died when the shaft of wood pierced his lung. unable to render sufficient first aid, Matthew and John buried him on Iradon at the crash site.
| |
| | |
| later that night the two managed to complete the make-shift patchwork on the shuttle craft enough to get it operation. They then took off, taking Arania along with them, to recover the away team in the hopes that they could then locate Eva straton and use the transporters to capture her.
| |
| | |
| They did not know that the away team had been captured and that things were about to get very interesting.
| |
| | |
| ==Two Rescues==
| |
| | |
| During the interrogation and capture of the away team, Eva began to feel a sense of dread coming from Sasha. This led her to depart with a small squad of holy warriors and seek out the mysterious man in her dreams.
| |
| | |
| Her quest led her to the camp of the Duke, where Stolev and the others were being held. Never one to avoid conflict, Eva led an attack.
| |
| | |
| In the confusion, members of the away team escaped from the camp, only to have Eva and her warriors surround them in a small clearing a few thousand feet away.
| |
| | |
| Eva watched as her guard attacked in an attempt to capture Stolev. A general melee ensued, just as the [[Rameses]] piloted by [[Matthew McLaren]] arrived.
| |
| | |
| Linskens opened the hatch to the vessel and stunned [[Eva Straton]] with a well-placed shot from a modified hand phaser. Now subdued, the away team managed to recover the marine Colonel and get aboard the runabout without any further interference from Eva's guards.
| |
| | |
| once aboard, Matthew and [[Susan Rivers]] struggled to get the runabout into orbit.
| |
| | |
| ==Houston, We Have a Problem==
| |
| [[File:Interdimensional Rift.jpg|thumb|right|250px| The Interdimensional Rift swallows Iradon]]
| |
| | |
| In orbit, the [[Trivaste Worldship]] was rapidly approaching the planet [[Iradon]] as the quantum fields of the two began to intermingle, an [[Interdimensional Rift]] began to open, even as the runabout was attempting to lift off the planet.
| |
| | |
| Caught in a universal shift, which was causing all sorts of problems with the shuttle craft, it was decided to attempt to signal the [[USS Kitty Hawk]] by using their [[phaser]]s. The runabout was blind, and because they knew that the vessel was going to fail, the crew, through desperation, began to transport off the shuttle out into open space in the hopes that the Kitty hawk would be abel to detect them.
| |
| | |
| This was a sound theory, because the time spent on the planet and with the re-calibration of the runabout's systems had caused the vessel to slightly phase out of normal space.
| |
| | |
| As the bodies rematerialized into normal space, the [[USS Kitty Hawk]]'s sensors were able to detect them and they were able to then be transported aboard.
| |
| | |
| The length of time in the vacuum of space was very minimal because the transporters could only handle 2 crew at a time. However, with only Linskens remaining behind, the transporter system failed.
| |
| | |
| As a result the scientist was sucked into the Interdimensional Rift along with the runabout. Also shifted out of this universe was the planet Iradon, as well as the Trivaste Worldship.
| |
| | |
| From Iradon, only Arania remained in our universe as she had been transported aboard the Kitty Hawk along with the rest of the crew.
| |
| | |
| Shortly after the collapse of the rift, a bubble of sorts appeared carrying [[John Linskens]]. He was recovered although he suffered extensive injuries.
| |
| | |
| ==Aftermath==
| |
| | |
| Eva was diagnosed by [[Oggie Marsh]] as suffering from a chemical imbalance of the brain caused by her pregnancy which was exasperated by a form of focal amnesia brought on by a head injury suffered during the crash of her runabout.
| |
| | |
| She began to revert to her normal self over time, with treatment and was found innocent of charges concerning the willful breaking of the [[Prime Directive]]
| |
| | |
| [[John Linskens]] was transferred to [[Geneva Station|Starbase Geneva]] due to the extensive injuries he had suffered durning the mission.
| |
| | |
| [[Matthew McLaren]] and [[Arania]] were married.
