A week has passed since the Black Hawk lost G90B in the Nebula. The ship, now in orbit of New Risa, is finishing repairs to its damaged flight deck. In close proximity is the USS Endurance, which has been acting as a temporary home for the squadron. What no one expected was the sudden return of Lt. Commander Di Pasquale with quadrant-shattering news: the true identity of G90B.
Unbeknownst to all, both Commodore and Lt. Commander Geisler have been replaced by clones whose true purpose remains to be enacted. Can they keep the news from reaching Gamma Command? What mayhem do the clones have in store for the Black Hawk and the Task Group? Will the crew of the Black Hawk ever figure out the truth?
And, will the real Harvey and Joey survive captivity, or will they sacrifice every bit of the uniform they love for just one more day together?
Summary
As the Black Hawk leaves the nebula, Lieutenant Frex meets with the engineering crew to discuss repairs to the Flight Deck. As repairs begin, it is determined that the 325th Fighter Squadron needs to be temporarily moved to the USS Endurance as its shuttlebay so that effective and speedy repairs can be made to the 'Hawk. The Black Hawk remains in orbit of New Risa for a week as repairs get underway. Meanwhile, the clones of Captain Harvey Geisler and Lt. Commander Joey Geisler begin to plot their next steps, deciding to quietly transfer their flag to Gavara IV and send the Black Hawk off on a path to its destruction.
This plan is turned on its head when the Runabout Conchos (Flotsam) suddenly returns with Lt. Commander Camila Di Pasquale and her undercover team. Alongside her is Emily Carter, a familiar yet unrecognized face to Commodore Geisler, whose demeanor and memory raise concerns. During a tense debriefing in the Ready Room with Executive Officer John Reynolds present, Camila presents critical intelligence: the location of G90B, a birythium refinery, and the arrival of an alternate-universe version of D’rimo, who killed Emily’s father and assumed control of Mellon. While Camila pushes for immediate action, Geisler appears hesitant and oddly disconnected, prompting suspicions from his crew. Ultimately, he agrees to mobilize reinforcements and orders Camila to prepare an attack plan within three hours, setting the stage for a decisive operation. As the team disperses, the tension lingers, particularly around Harvey's strange behavior and the unresolved recognition between him and Emily.
Down in the Intelligence Office, Ensign Ronin Tetanal reports back to his supervisor, Intelligence Chief Geisler, bringing with him critical data—including a PADD and a tricorder filled with scans and surveillance—regarding The Confederation and their leader. He recounts a disturbing event in which D’Rimo publicly executed Richard Carter and assumed control of Mellon, with Richard’s daughter Emily escaping alongside the team. Joey, though visibly disturbed and angered by the implications of the mission, maintains her composure and prepares to escalate matters up the chain of command. She orders Ronin to take the day off to decompress, despite his willingness to continue working. As Ronin leaves, Joey begins to prepare for the next step—preserving their cover and briefing Commodore Geisler, knowing the stakes have now escalated significantly.
Meanwhile, the real Harvey and Joey find themselves in captivity, presumably with Unknown Power G90B, and tortured for information.
