Synopsis
In the aftermath of the exposure of Section 31 and the defeat of Leonard Talvin also known as "Bellum" the United Federation of Planets has begun to expand its reach again and return to the ideals it was based on. Despite repeatedly going against protocol the USS Supremacy under the command of Captain William Meyer was given permission to continue exploring the Borderline but it is made clear that the all their past transgressions have been forgotten. The Supremacy comes under threat from factions of the Terran Empire, a alternate version of starfleet from a parallel universe. While dealing with this threat they continue to explore the Borderline and try to remain explorers and expand their own knowledge.

1. The Flagship
Seconds after the second Supremacy appears, Meyer hails the ship asking for knowledge of them and what they are doing. The other Meyer responds claiming that it isn't currently important but reveals that they are currently hunting a dangerous band of pirates in possession of an incredibly powerful weapon. Meyer cuts of contact to consult with his crew, they agree that he can't be trusted but cannot afford to let them roam unchecked. The two Supremacy's set a course for their last location and Meyer has Miral scan their ship for anything that can tell them about the other ship. The only thing she recognises that stands out is the odd configuration of the transporters. After arriving at the pirates last location they discover it adrift in an asteroid field with little life support. Meyer contacts the other Supremacy asking them for advisement, the other Meyer advises them to wait while he scans the ship and he pretends to agree but covertly sends Devan and Mantren to beam over with an away team to take them into custody only to discover no criminals but discover starving refugees with a skeleton crew backing it. The crew, thinking that they come from the other Supremacy, attempt to attack them but they are unable to convince them to back of. The commander of the ship informs them that the other Supremacy cannot be trusted and will kill them all as soon as he gets the chance. The other Supremacy begins firing in the freighter so Devan and Mantren have them beamed back to the ship. The two ships engage but being evenly matched they make little damage. The other Supremacy retreats back to where it was discovered and are seen trying to open a wormhole. The Supremacy engages it when it's shields are weakened by the wormhole and cause major damage. The ship the begins to transport its crew members off the ship but to an unknown location, The also beam the refugees of the ship and then the other Supremacy activates its self destructed sequence. Miral informs Meyer that this ship came from the Terran Empire with their transporters being designed to prevent all inter-dimensional travel. Meyer decides that the ship has done enough fighting and orders Mantren to set a course for somewhere they've never been.

2. Outsiders
The Supremacy arrives at a nearby Starbase to pick up their new first officer, Betazoid Commader Baliee Resser and the new operations officer Ensign Anna Gyles, Mantren has an immediate attraction to Gyles but Zaak assures him that she would never go for him. Devan has difficulty welcoming Resser as he had believed that the Captain was preparing him to take the position. The ship responds to a distress call from a freighter from a nearby system attempting to collect a mineral that they use to power their ships, with the freighter having heavy damage, Meyer volunteers the Supremacy to collect the mineral for them. Resser and Devan lead an away team to the planet that contains the mineral, Resser subtly asks Devan what he thinks of Captain Meyer and he immediately responds that he is the finest Captain the he has ever served under but Resser remains unconvinced. While mining for the mineral one of the crew members is attacked by an alien and is taken hostage, the rest of the team follow but are ambushed and surrounded by them. Devan insists on fighting back but Resser orders them to put their weapons down. The aliens talk to Resser and reveal themselves to be in a dispute with the species that sent them here, Resser assures them that they had no knowledge of this and are simply trying to obtain the mineral for a freighter in desperate need of It but they do not believe them. The aliens contact the Supremacy demanding that they give all of the freighters resources over to them but Meyer insists that they are unable to do this. Gyles suggests that they have both species meet on board that ship as a neutral ground and the species agree to this. The negotiations are at first seen to be futile as the species cannot come to any agreement, Meyer goes through records and see's that Starfleet once had ships in the system that belonged to Section 31 and goes to Neurall to ask for information. Neurall insists that if she gives them the necessary information then Meyer must allow her to be confined to her old quarters instead of the brig to which he reluctantly agrees. With the information, Meyer realises that the two species merely need a third party to help conduct their business and volunteers Borderline Headquarters for all further trade of the mineral and both species agree to this. The away team are returned to the ship and Devan opens up to Zaak about his frustration in being turned down for first officer but is comforted by her when she tells him that he isn't no less important to the crew. Resser files his report to Meyer and tries to go back to his quarters but Meyer invites him to dinner with the rest of the crew and he agrees.

3. Desperate Times
The Supremacy moves into a new system populated by a relatively advanced species yet still a pre warp society. In disguise to look like the locals Meyer, Zaak and Mantren beam down to the surface to build up information on the species. While investigating through a market place, Mantren see's local milita beating on innocent civilians and intervienes. A fight breaks out and the away team are forced to flee the scene to look for an area where they can transport. In the pursuit Meyer is shot by the aliens weapon and collapses. Back on the Supremacy, Meyer is in a coma with no signs of his waking up. Through brain scans, Zaak discovers that the weapon reverts its victims into a coma and focuses their brain functions on their darkest memories. Commander Resser assumes command of the ship and orders the Supremacy out of the system, the crew immediately disagree with this decision insisting that they need to go back to the surface to locate the cure for the effects but Resser disagrees. Devan goes to Neuralls quarters to question her on anything that Section 31 has on this type of weapon. She tries to bargain but Devan refuses to listen and starts to close a force field in on her position. She breaks and tells him that a telepath should be able to access Meyers brain functions with his powers. Devan reports this to Resser and he agrees to go forward with the plan. Resser uses his empathic abilities matched with stimulators in order to go into Meyers mind. When he arrives he see's a young Meyer during the Dominion War serving as a tactical officer. Resser interacts with Meyer and begins to realise that it is a memory, when they try to leave their life patterns begin to lower so they conclude that they must continue with events until they conclude. Meyer reveals that the ship will be attacked by Dominion and several officers will be taken hostage but reveals that he had to destroy the ship before saving them. When events come to ahead Meyer desprately tries to find another solution but prove futile and the ship is destroyed. The memories then reset to just befor the attack. Meyer again tries to alter events in order to gain some closure but again the ship is destroyed and events are reset. Meyer gives in and plays events out as before destroying the Dominion War ship with the crew members on it. They re awaken to find Meyer hollow and immediatly leaves. Mantren goes to the Captains quarters to apoligise for his reckless, Meyer forgives him but puts a reprimand in his record. Meyer then reveals his memories and explains that it caused him fear to ever command a ship again. Mantren then tells him that he became a pilot because he was afraid of transporters which causes them to both laugh.
