Repaired, refitted, and restaffed, the USS Lexington is dispatched not to the border, but to former Federation worlds hoping to rekindle the fire. Some are enthusiastic, while others, want nothing to do with humanity. Can the crew of the Lexington overcome these odds to drum up enough support to mount a new offensive in the Beta Quadrant?
Summary
Prologue
The Lexington warps back to M-11 at a sluggish Warp Four, roughly half its maximum speed. En route, Captain Marty Collins begins to assemble his Senior Staff from among the insertion team he'd brought with him.
Days later, after the Lexington is put into drydock for repairs, Captain Collins stays aboard the mighty starship to stay involved with the repairs. He climbs through the ship's every nook and cranny to learn as much about the Lexington has he can. Just a few days into the repair process, the Lexington is visited by three members of Starfleet's Command Chiefs, including Rear Admiral Hospers, Chief of Operations; Vice Admiral Chipheni, Chief of Security; Admiral Jocelyn Bachelet, the Commander in Chief; and Captain Hugo Aamaya, the Commanding Officer of the USS Callisto. It is announced to Collins that Aamaya will be taking over the Lexington and that Marty will be reassigned. Collins adamantly refuses, citing several controversial and compromising decisions that Aamaya had made during his entrenchment in the Triangle. Marty goes so far to claim that the Captain is corrupt, and that as such, Starfleet's new ship should be left free from corruption. Aamaya tries to punch Collins, forcing Bachelet to step in before the men resort entirely to fisticuffs. Bachelet orders Aamaya to return to the Callisto and to the Triangle. Aamaya elects instead to resign, having lost confidence in the Command Chiefs. Hospers and Chipheni leave with Aamaya, and Bachelet informs Collins that this had all been a test. Not only did she need to see where Aamaya's loyalties lie, but she also needed to see that Marty had rekindled his fire to make it back to Earth.
