Changes

With orders to chart a new sector of space, the Intrepid had a change in scenery compared to the Inquisition war. While charting, the Intrepid detected a warp signature in an off limits zone. It turned out that the native species to the planet had just performed their first warp flight; and so the Intrepid adjusted course to make first contact. Upon meeting two liaisons from the planet, the crew sent down a large away team to tour their main facilities. It turned out that the planet only had one above water city, one the only above water island. Materials that had made the warp ship seemingly came from the planet’s moon, indicating a lack of natural metals. The away team also happened to stumble across mass graves while exploring the grounds and facilities. The mass graves turned out to be a second intelligent species on the planet the Minon. The minon had comitted a terrorist attack that was supposed to result in no casualties, however Raza, and the Vjyeeiak, placed fuel tanks in inappropriate positions in hope to escalate the terror. Raza hide their intentions in hope that the Federation would think the Minon to be extremists. Later, the Minon took several Federation officers believing them to be rescuing them from the Vjyeeiak, however Raza pushed the idea that they were being kidnapped. The away team had been injured; most of the team had been captured by the Minon and treated their injuries. Lieutenant Hill was captured by Raza and the Vjyeeiak and was tortured and executed. During the away team’s capture this is when they began to see that Raza had been tainting their views. When delegations got underway, the Intrepid was able to call a ceasefire between the Minon and the Vjyeeiak. The ceasefire allowed for both the Minon and Vjyeeiak to establish a new government.

Up to this point, Science lab 13 was designated as personal research lab for the Captain, and it was off limit to any of the crew. Not even the Chief of Security had access to it. However, at one day, Lieutenant Orano who was a Betazoid sensed something odd, coming from there so she decided to investigate. She had wandered into the same lab once before when she was a Midshipman, only to find an empty room. Now however, she was faced with a pair of armed guards. While the first resisted letting her in, the second stepped up and confirmed her that she was concerned for the Captain, he had been inside the lab far longer than usual. Risking disrobing his orders, she let Ki'sa in. Inside the lab, she found the same empty room she saw once before as a midshipman. However, this time she sensed a presence at the far side of the room. Eventually, she would be joined by Doctor Thrace and Ensign Jadaris. The three will find a holo-projected wall that revealed the real lab behind it. In the center of the marvelous laboratory sat an artifact of obvious alien design. Origin unknown to anyone in this room. It looked like a large metallic pyramid, silver in color. It had ornate writings and designs on all of its sides, and it was surrounded by a shimmering aura of deep blue light. The glow seemed to shine and dim with the same rhythm as that of a beating heart. A few  feet away from the the artifact, lying on the floor was the motionless body of Captain Gabriel Archer.

A scan of the Artifact showed that the Artifact had both mechanical and biological components to it. While such a merge of technology and biological life was known to have been perfected by the Borg, there was no evidence confirming nor denying their involvement in this. Furthermore, the design itself did not look Borg at all. Soon after, the group discovering that The Ordhelm, the name of the artifact that Archer had been studying for months, had trapped Archer's conscious inside it. Ki'sa bonds mentally with Jadaris for Support and they dive in to save the Captain. Inside, they had to deal a medieval prison guard to help Gabriel escape. Eventually, they were successful and getting out of the Ordhelm, however something went wrong and The Captain ended up in Ki'sa's body, Jadaris in Archer's and Ki'sa in Jadaris's body. The Intrepid had to make a detour to Vulcan where the trio underwent a variant of a ritual called Fal-Tor-Pan that replaced each Katra in the right body.
