As the crew struggles to fend off their attackers, they realize that the ship's systems are malfunctioning and they are rapidly losing power.

And as the crew continues to investigate, tensions begin to mount, alliances are tested, and the lines between friend and foe become increasingly blurred.
Amidst the chaos and danger, Avon becomes increasingly focused on his own obsession with finding a way to defeat the Federation and gain power over his enemies. His single-mindedness puts him at odds with the rest of the crew, especially when his decisions begin to place them in even greater peril.
