Renalt escapes from
Thames but the sensors go out. The TRAVELER's systems are also out.
Both ships are headed towards each other on a collision course.
The crew are
challenged by Thames. However, it is a trap. After the ENTERPRISE
defeats Thames, hundreds of other guard ships show up and nearly destroy the
ENTERPRISE. Nearly all the crew of the ENTERPRISE are killed.
After being rescued by
the RAOP, Fleet Admiral Allen gives the crew permission to repair the
ENTERPRISE when no other ships are available. After days of work, the
ship launches with a new mission.
The crew attempt to
find parts to repair the ship. However, instead they find two old
friends who have become enemies. One of them take the crew hostage as
Nevets dies.
