→Act II
== Act II ==
The anomaly, which defies most conventional sensor scans, makes transporting the away team back nigh-impossible. The away team, meanwhile, is unable to contact the ship or even detect the ship's existence in space. Onboard the ship, Lieutenant, Junior Grade [[Liamed Duzan]] works with Second Officer Lieutenant Commander [[Deidre Deirdre Lake]] to sort out a way to send a shuttlecraft down to the planet by disrupting the anomaly by re-configuring the deflector array to discharge polarized chroniton particles into the anomaly ahead of the shuttlecraft. They set to work on this task, diligently working on the solution due to a sensor scan revealing harmful solar radiation on the wasteland half of the planet. If left alone on the surface, the away team will be dead within 12 hours.
On the planet, Captain Kaialani orders the away team to explore the ruins of the ancient colony. Their sensor readings indicate that the planet is now 5 million years older than their original orbital sensor sweep showed. Lieutenant [[Ozoria Zh'Chysrel]] and Subcommander [[Sarenn]] begin to research food in the area, detecting that there are mole-like tunneling animals underneath the surface that are sustaining themselves on some root vegetables at a nearby farm outside the colony. While exploring the farm, Lt. Chysrel witnesses a group of primitive proto-humans approaching the colony, stalking Lt. [[Tobias Andrianopoulos]] and preparing to attack. Distracting the creatures, Chysrel takes off and, communicating with the captain, is ordered back to the colony to help mount a defense. Lt. Andrianopoulos, Lt. Cmdr [[Ji Jeong-Ho]], Captain Kaialani, and Subcommander Sarenn all take part in scaring off the proto-humans, and one of the enemies is knocked out while the rest flee to the nearby mountains.
