1. A United Federation
In the year 2404 a planet named "Alzan" far away unexplored region of space known as "The Borderline" contacts The Federation for membership Starfleet sees this as an opportunity to launch The USS Supremacy with the newly appointed Captain Willaim Meyer. Meyer is unhappy with his command as he has adopted a more sinister viewpoint to rest of the universe. He is also at odds with the ships first Officer Commander Neurall who views him as to much of a soldier to lead an explanation mission. Before they can arrive at Alzan, The Supremacy is attacked by pirates who put the new crew to the test. Meyer is an excellent strategist so he easily over powers them but is constantly contradicted by his first officer. Meyer later angrily berates Neurall and threateneds to have her relieved if she fails to obey her orders. After arriving at Alzan they find a desolated world with a minimal population. Before they have a chance to investigate the planet they are fired upon from the surface with a massive energy beam.

2. The Crew
Moments after the weapons beam hits the Supremacy multiple crew members including Paris and Zaak are transported to the surface. The ships suffers multiple hull breaches and the warp core is taken offline. Meyer along with Devan transport down to the winter surface to find the missing crew members. Meanwhile Paris and Zaak are imprisoned in massive cell where they are under the ruthless thumb of an alien named Auluss who demands to know the ships shield frequencies they undergo severe torture but just barely manage to hold out. Meyer and Devan must climb down dangerous caves to reach the prisoners but when they arrive they find starving families and a barely functioning city. They are quickly spotted by the military and a fire fight breaks out. Once pinned down Meyer contacts the Supremacy to transport them directly to the prison. Once in they are surrounded by guards but are able to fight them and find the crew members. Only moments after being transported back to the Supremacy a massive ship drops out of warp in front of them with Auluss in command. With the Warp Down still down they are forced to face the ship. They are massively out gunned but Paris is able to spot a weakness in their ship of they focus they fire on a specific area of the shield grid they will have seconds to transport over an ion device that will make them lose all there power. This works and warp out of the system. Meyer contacts Starfleet command hoping they will send them home but decide to leave them out and explore the system and try to to discover the source of the communication. The camera pans out to reveal a mysterious figure watch the transmitting commenting on how little they've come.

3. Parasites
Eleva is on a plantery survey with Zaak with scanning they begin to relate to some of their past experiences on their homeworlds. Shortly afterward they receive a distress call from the planets surface who claims to be dying, despite the protocols Eleva beams him up to the shuttle be he is barely conscious. They contact the Supremacy to prep for there arrival. Immediately afterwards the aliens attacks Eleva and ensures his cooperation he tries to do the same to Zaak but fails. They are beamed directly to sickbay where Eleva attacks the medical staff forcing them to flee. With his security passcode Eleva is able to cripple the supremacy. Meyer leads a team to rescue Zaak, during the encounter the entire security team is captured and made to submit by the alien. Zaak realises that if she can mind meld with Eleva she will be able to bring him back. After the initial assault on sickbay they breach it easily but Eleva and the alien have beemed out on the shuttle. After mind melding with the other crew members she realises that the alien is simply a wild beast under the impression that they have hostiles. Meyer orders Neurall to talk to the alien but refuses saying that he is the captian. Meyer is unable to convince it if their intentions so Paris remotely disables the shuttle and beams Eleva to sickbay and the alien to the brig. Zaak is able to bring Eleva back but is clearly shaken by his experience. The creature is put into an escape pod and put back onto its home planet.

4. Beneath The Surface
The Supremacy discovers a unique and uninhabited planet with a unique core they will allow them to create new and improved shield systems and hull designs for the ship. Meyer wanting a few hours of the ship agrees to go with Neurall and Paris to study the core. They quickly realise however that there is nothing unique about the core and see that something is a miss. Moments later The Mortemuss attacks The Supremacy with Auluss commanding it. The ship is forced into the atmosphere where it is stuck and realise that if they activate their engines it will cause tremors across the planet and lead to its destruction. Eleva scans the ship and realises that during their last encounter with Auluss he beamed over a device designed to trick their sensors. However the crew realise that if they fire the device onto the hull of The Mortemus they can take over its tractor beam and take them out of the planets atmosphere. They also discover that their own weapons fire could raise them out of the planets surface but would cause them to fire onto the surface. Meyer deems this the better option but is objected to by Neurall. The two get into an argument where she asks how Meyer could consider himself a Starfleet officer where he says he isnt just an angry man with no purpose. Meyer however agrees to Neuralls plan and it in the end works and the ship is able to esape Auluss. Neurall apologises to Meyer but he admits that she isn't entirely wrong but Neurall agrees not to give up on him. It cuts to Auluss who is strapped down onto a table and is beheaded by a mysterious figure.
