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. Things of The Past
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.

4. Life-Signs
Devan and Miral meet with the captain to complain about Commander Resser who has been reassigning both their crew members, Meyer believes them to be overreacting but Miral also admits that he seems to contradict every suggestion but Meyer firmly tells them that it is his right when in command to do so. This meeting is interrupted when Mantren contacts Meyer telling him that the breach that brought the other Supremacy is opening again. The ship arrives at the breach to find a small shuttle craft with only one human lifesign. They transport the human to sick bay to find that it is the other Meyer who collapses immediatly. Meyer and Resser arrive at sickbay to find the other Meyer dead. Resser asks for the cause of death and all Zaak can find is a small device implanted in his skull. Meyer authorises her to remove and study it. Shortly afterwards a Klingon War Bird emerges from the breach and the Supremacy is completely locked out of all all its systems. The War Bird attacks the ship causing heavy damage and the other Meyer is revealed to be alive but the device in his skull blocked his life signs. He attacks Zaak and renders her unconscious.

Devan and Resser being on the same deck as Neurall head to her quarters to ensure that she cannot escape but when they arrive the find her guard unconscious and her no where to be found. In engineering Miral recognises the technology beign used as similar to Bellums override device and belives that she can use her knowledge of that device to block their blocking out. When hunting for Neurall, Resser and Devan talk casually about past experiences and Devan realises that they have a lot in common in their tactics and how they view the Federation. They are attacked by Neurall who wounds Resser, she escapes into the jeffries tubes the two also get in and lock them down, trapping all three of them in there. The three engage and Devan throws her down the tube breaking several bones. Meyere discovers that his counterpart is on the same deck that he is, Meyer finds him in a locker room looking through items recovered from the transport that he engaged. Miral pushes the Warp Core to near breach level in order to be out of th devices control and means that the they break free from it and push the ship away. Meyers counterpart realises he has been abandoned and shoots himself with his phaser. Miral realises that the War Birds technology is not only similair to that if Bellum but is in fact identical making them realise that it came from the alternate universe. Devan meets with Meyer to commend him for his actions in recapturing Neurall. Devan asks permission to speak freely and then bluntly asks why he was turned over for first officer over Resser. Meyer reveals that Starfleet did not approve of their actions in going against Bellum so only allowed them to continue operating if they assigned an officer of their choosing. Devan is outraged and Meyer then tells him that they have been deemed as rogues in the eyes of Starfleet.

5. Code of Ethics
After their last encounter with the alternate universe, Meyer decides that the need to find an expert on the alternate universe so that they can learn more about them and have him look through items recovered from the refugees from it. Devan is able to find one an El-Aurian named Ouser located in a system just outside the Borderline. Meyer, Gyles and Mantren leave on a shuttle for the planet to find him, leaving Resser in command. When Meyer and Mantren arrive, the planet is riddled with crime and is highly corrupt. The two are able to track him to a bar and preach him on his knowledge. He reveals that he does know a lot about the alternate universe but asks what is in it for him. Before Meyer answer, authorities arrive and arrest Ouser. On the Supremacy, Devan reveals to Miral and Zaak the reasons for Resser being given the position here, Miral is outraged but Zaak is able to see why Starfleet would be unable to trust them. It is revealed that Ouser works for a career criminal and uses his money from the job to fund his expeditions to the other universe. The authorities will be able to take down crime on the planet from his arrest but will Ouser refuses to talk them unless they arrange his freedom. During a staff meeting, Resser uses him empathic abilities and realises the crew hostility towards him. He preaches the issue with Devan who immediately tells Resser that he is aware of why he was made first officer. Resser is outraged at his need to reveal this to the rest of the crew and tells a Devan that he finds his attitude to be immature and orders him to tell no one else. Back in the planet, Meyer bribes the authorities to arrange Ouser's release. He takes him back to the Supremacy where he looks through the refuges belongings. He finds an artifact that details several names and locations around the Alpha Quadrant. Ouser then begins bargaining for more information but Meyer has him thrown off the ship and sends him back to the authorities.

6. White Knights
The Supremacy arrives at a recently warp capable world in the Borderline named Prediac and have been sent to initiate a first contact between them and the Federation. While Meyer negotiates with the planets leaders about join the Federation, Resser roams the street taking in the beauty of the world. Suddenly a mass riot takes place and a man is killed when thrown of a rooftop. The authorities have everyone in the area rounded up and questioned on the incident. Because of his empathic abilities, Resser is able to sense the guilt of someone there and informs the officers. The officers are curious about how he knows this and he explains his abilities but is then swiftly taken into custody himself. After discovering his arrest the crew realise that telepathic beings are public enemies in this world. Meyer demands his release but the authorities refuse but grant him a trail to try his case. Gyles agrees to represent Resser who is held in a cornered off area for the native telepaths. While in the area, Resser senses their outrage and aggression and fears that their may be violence coming. At the trial, Gyles argues that Resser is not a member of the species but a sanctioned officer welcome to r the streets so he should be released to the Federation. The prosecution argues that as soon as they came to their world, they agreed to its laws. After a recess is called Resser is returned to the area and senses the amber growing in its inhabitants. Meyer realises that the planets laws against telepaths rules them out of joining the Federation, Devan scans the area and considers transporting Resser back. When the trial begins again, Gyles argues that if Prediac isn't able to join the Federation then they are holding a citizen of another power hostage, with the planet not wanting to oppose the Federation they agree to release him. Before a Resser can be released a mass riot breaks out where the telepaths attack the guards. Resser moves himself out in front of the two and gives a speech about how other worlds have been through such divide but found hope in the Federation, this gives them hope for the future and they cease their fighting. Prediac contacts the Supremacy and reveals to them that they will be making changes to their law because of Resser's speech. Resser returns to the ship and is suprised to be greeted with a welcome from the crew.

7. Walking The Line
Ensign Gyles is late for her duty shift as she was up the entire previous night from trying to decipher to locations on the artifact but was able to make no headway. The Supremacy then receives a distress call from a vessel trying to escape the Terran Empire. Despite Commander Ressers warnings, Meyer decides to respond to them wanting to know how they are able to move between the different universe. They find the ship under the command of a Bajoran named Yerann and is inhabited by a number of different species. Yerann tells Meyer that he and his crew are part of a movement trying to escape the Terran Empire and its war with the other species of their Alpha Quadrant. He reveals that they follow the last remaining prophet of their universe who sought refuge in this universe and will lead them all to a better world. The ship then detects a Terran Warship, the ISS Prestige, heading towards their location, Meyer hails them only to be greeted by Devans counterpart who is the captain of the ship. He demands that Yerann and his crew be handed over to them and put back where they belong, Meyer ponders sending them back but ultimately respects their request for asylum. Ensign Gyles asks Yerann for assistance in translating the transcriptions on the artifact and gladley agrees. Yerann tells her that its is a part if a larger piece of an orb that will lead them to the last Prophet, before Gyles can report this to the Captain, Yerann stuns her and takes both the arifact and her hostage. The Prestige attacks the Supremacy and uses the fight as cover to get to his ship, along the way he encounters Neurall who offers her assistance in exchange for her freedom and he agrees. Yerann escapes and the Prestige backs away. Before the Supremacy can do anything they detect rifts opening all over the Borderline with ships coming through.

8. Beyond Redemption
Two days after the alternate universe forces now being called the "renegades" began flooding into the Borderline, Starfleet have sent reinforcements to the Supremacy and have spread their ships throughout the sector. Matters take a turn for the worse however when the Terran Empire also send reinforcements to hunt down the Renegades. Miral and Gyles work desperately to close all the breaches but continue to have no luck. With limited options and no time, Meyer go's back to Ouser looking for answers on the Renegades. When the authorities refuse to let Meyer see him he looks for alternative ways of stopping them. The ship is then called to evacuate a nearby station in which the Renegades and Terran Empire are engaging, the ship tries to evacuate the station but are only able to get a few dozen people onboard before a Terran ship crashes into the station destroying it. Realising that he has no other options, Meyer decides to break Ouser out of prison. Disguised as Terran forces Meyer and Devan break him out of prison. Ouser starts trying to bargain with Meyer but he simply punches him and threatens to hand him over to the Terran's if he does not help them close the breaches and discover where Yerann was going. Meanwhile, Yeranns ship is engaged by a Starfleet ship and Neurall is able to use her knowledge to help them destroy the ship. Ouser explains that Yerann and his followers believe that the last Prophet will lead them to a new system free of the Terran Empire, Meyer is unsatisfied having already heard this from Yerann himself. Ouser explains that it would be an uninhabited system and the other renegade ships would work to divert the attention of Starfleet and the Terran Empire. Using battle reports across the sector and Ouser advise, Meyer is able to compile a location and sets a course. Ouser then goes to assist Miral in engineering but on the way is killed by one of the station survivors who turns out to be a renegade. The Supremacy arrives at the system to find a fleet of Renegade ships waiting for them.

9. Final Refuge
The Supremacy prepares for an engagement with the renegade but is then hailed by Yerann in his command ship, he demands that Meyer beams himself over to his ship and he will not order the fleet to fire upon his ship. Meyer reluctantly agrees and entrusts his ship to Resser. Meyer beams to Yeranns ship and the fleet prepares to depart but several Terran Empire vessels drop out of Warp and the Supremacy is caught in the crossfire. The Supremacy is fired upon by multiple Renegade ships and suffers heavy casualties and major hull breaches, the fleet retreats and the ship prepares for another engagement with the Terran ships but they are hailed by Devans counterpart who reveals that the Federation and the Terran Empire have struck up an alliance to deal with the Renegades. Miral rushes to sickbay to find Ouser in critical condition, Zaak doubts his survival and leaves her infuriated now being unable to close the breaches. On Yeranns ship, Neurall comes to see Meyer, she reveals that she has no loyalty towards him and is simply a means to an end for her. Repair crews for the Terran fleet arrive to help the Supremacy crew repair the ship and the ships Doctor has a method, she reveals technology for their universe which has the capability to download all brain activity into the ships computer but will kill the subject. Zaak considers this a direct violation of ethical conduct and refuses to use the procedure, Miral decides to use it however as it is clear that Ouser is already dying. Yerann arrives at the planet that has the temple and assemble a team to beam to the surface, Neurall sabotages the transporters and sends the ships location to the Supremacy. Yerann attempts to execute her but Neurall overpowers them and goes to Meyers cell, they agree to form a temporary alliance to get of the ship and stop the Renegades. Gyles receives the transmission from Neurall and covertly informs Resser, he decides not to tell the Terrans and sends them in the wrong direction while they head to the actual location. Meyer and Neurall manage to make it to a shuttle and they head to the surface, Neurall agrees with this which surprises Meyer. When on the surface, Meyer questions her on this and she tells him that Section 31's purpose was to protect the Federation and considers the prophet to be a threat to it. The Supremacy arrives and engages Yerann's ship, they are able to get the transporters back on line and beam to the surface. When the two teams converge on the location they do not find a temple but instead a laboratory, Yerann is shocked by this discovery. Meyer and Neurall burst in but are surrounded by his followers. Yerann finds a stasis chamber and opens it to find a changeling in it. Yerann bows to him and the Changeling embraces them as brothers, he orders them to get the equipment. Resser and Devan burst in with a security team and forces Yerann and the Changeling to retreat. Yerann's ship is able to escape with the Supremacy being to heavily damaged to follow. Devan attempts to take Neurall back into custody but he orders him to allow her to leave. The Renegade ships begin retreating across the sector which leads to the ending of the alliance. Meyer returns to the bridge to find the crew waiting for him, they are clearly damaged by the lengths they went too but Meyer assures them that he could not be more pleased with their performance. On Yerann's ship, the Changeling takes command of the ship, he asks what their next steps are, Yerann shows him an unconscious Devan, telling him that they have people in place revealing the Supremacys Devan to be his counterpart.

10. Who You Really Are
The Supremacy is taken back to Borderline Headquarters with heavy damage, Meyer and the crew are determined to catch Yerann and the Changeling before they can escape back to the alternate universe but are ordered by Starfleet not to pursue. While at headquarters, Miral is taken to the bases commander, Admiral Steven Beller, for unethical conduct for her use of the Terran Empires technology to get information from the now dead Ouser. Her record is reprimanded and is told to have barely escaped a court martial. Zaak admits to reporting her and Miral is furious because of it. Devan's counterpart receives a transmission from Yerann asking for the Supremacys condition and locations of Federation ships throughout the sector. A Klingon War Bird arrives at the base to speak with Beller, the commander, General Ghall has intellegence on Yeranns location and demands assistance in her attack. Beller refuses not wanting to put anymore lives at stake. Meyer offers his services and is able to convince Beller to allow him to go and Devans counterpart volunteers to go as well. Ghall is shown to be headstrong in her pursuit of Yerann yet very effective as well. Devan is able to send out a morse code like signal to Yerann informing him of their pursuit giving him time to mobilise. Yerann finds the changeling in the ships lab working on a chamber, Yerann asks what this purp is but evades the question, Yerann informs him of the Klingon ship, he acknowledges this but isn't phased by it. Before Yerann leaves the Changeling reveals that his name is Arais. Yerann and Arais arrive at a Brearch to find Ghall and Meyer waiting for them and the two ships engage. Ghall ship is revealed to be in much better condition than the Supremacy so easily overpowers Yeranns ship. Yerann activites the transporters to the other universe but Arais insists that he also beam over his equipment forcing them to leave behind several crew members of the ship as it explodes. Ghall drops Meyer and Devan back on the now repaired Supremacy, she thanks them for their assistance and hope to work with them again. In the alternate universe, Yerann demands to know why the equipment so important and Arais orders Devan to be put in the chamber which will allow his brain functions to be uploaded to his counterpart. Arais also sternly tells Yerann never to question him leaving Yerann shaken.

11. In The Line of Duty
Neurall arrives back on Earth and beams down to London, she locates a covert Section 31 bunker and finds a skeleton crew of officers running it. They explain that Starfleet has no choice but to shut them down after the Supremacy crew exposed their existence. Neurall reveals to them the threat of the Changeling leader of the Renegades and believes that it is their responsibility to stop them. The agent assures her that they have no resources to do so, Neurall volunteers to steal data from Starfleet so that they stand a chance against them. On the Supremacy, Gyles recommends that Meyer attempt to talk to the female Changeling who has been imprisoned by Starfleet since the Dominion War. Resser believes that he can convince Admiral Beller to grant him access to her but only if Meyer does not come with him believing that Beller will not trust him with such a high level prisoner. On Earth Neurall finds a Starfleet Data Server that holds all the reports of the Federations engagement with the Renegades. She is able to have the files transferred to Section 31s bunker but trips a security precaution alerting security to her location. She appears to be surrounded but someone is able to rectify force fields around the guards giving her time to escape. Devan's counterpart contacts Arais and tells them about the crews plan to talk to the female Changeling and instructs him to go with them, he then departs with Resser and Gyles to meet with Admiral Beller. Neurall follows up on who rescued her, she is easily able to track his location based on his communication, she breaks into his base of operations and is shocked to find it to be Bellum.

12. Dead or Alive
Neurall immediately attacis Bellum but he easily overpowers her, he explains that he is not who he appears to be but Leonard Talvin from the alternate universe, Neurall is sceptical but Talvin is able to prove himself by his Terran service record and lack of any scar tissue or injuries that Bellum possessed. In the alternate universe Devan is able to break free from his chamber, it causes his counterpart to lose focus and is unable to place his surroundings. Devan attempts to get to a shuttle but is recaptured by Arais who uses his abilities to knock him out which clearly causes him immense pain. After putting Devan back into his chamber, Arais decides that it is time to set his plan in motion and asks Yerann for any men capable of killing Captain Meyer. Yerann hires a Klingon bounty hunter named Kraax and his crew to carry out the job. On the Supremacy, the crew are in the middle of evacuating a colony from a planet constantly troubled by earthquakes, while beaming up the colonists Kraax attacks the Supremacy. This forces the ship to depart with Meyer and Miral on the surface, Mantren is left in command. Kraax and his Men beam down to the surface hunt Meyer and Miral, they flee the colony which forces them into a valley more seriously effected by the earthquakes. Meyer and Miral split up to divide their forces and Miral is able to capture one of the Klingons. Once they regroup the Klingon reveals nothing so they decide to use his communicator to lure Kraax to them. While Miral holds of the other men with a phaser, Meyer engages in hand to hand combat with Kraax. Kraax brutally beats Meyer and is about to kill him when one of his men stops him revealing himself to be Arais. The Supremacy returns and captures Kraax and forces Arais to flee while Zaak treats the severely injured Meyer. Back on Earth Neurall returns with Talvin to Section 31 and asks him what his purpose here is. He tells her that they need to know there enemy but can never become them.

13. Turncoats
Commander Resser along with Gyles and Devans counterpart arrive at Borderline Headquarters to meet with Admiral Beller to arrange an interrogation with the female changeling. Beller is extremely sceptical about sending a crew he does not trust to the location of such a high level prisoner. Devan is able to convince Beller to allow them to see the changeling by agreeing to remain under sedation while taken to her location. Yerann returns to the Borderline on a mission from Arais ,who he has not seen for several days, to find formula which will allow him to replicate a device that Arais will not share the detail of. Talvin and Neurall have also returned to the Borderline looking for information in Ousers home hoping for additional information about the Renegades. While there, the two encounter Yerann and his men forcing them into a fight. The two are able to get away and Neurall has possession of Ousers files which has the formula that Yerann is looking for. The away team wake up in the facility with the changeling, the guards explain that she remains without form for most days. Resser attempts to talk to her but get no response, Devans counterpart uses a key phrase that Arais gave him which grabs her attention. She asks what knowledge they have of her people, Resser explains that they only know of Arais, she explains that she and her people have had little contact with him after he rejected to join the great link. Talvin and Neurall attempt to escape Yeranns forces, they receive a message on an open frequency showing Section 31 hostages. Neurall insists that they give him the drive, Talvin objects claiming it to be bigger than them. Neurall ignores him and takes the drive leaving it where Yerann specified. Hours go by and Yerann kills the hostages claiming that they made the wrong choice. Neurall is confused but Talvin reveals that he switched the drives. Neurall demands an explanation and Talvin reveals that Yerann and his forces were responsible for an attack on an outpost he was commanding which resulted in the deaths of his family and his demotion ruining his career and life for which he swore revenge on him for. The away team leave Borderline Headquarters on a shuttle returning to the Supremacy, they quickly encounter Ghall who beams them aboard. Ghall quickly takes Devan into custody and Resser demands that she explain herself. She merely gives the Klingon word for Turncoats.

14. Among Us
Resser and Gyles return to the Supremacy absent Devan. Before leaving their shuttle they agree that Gyles will go to the astrometrics lab and scan for the counterparts while Resser will go to the bridge and monitor the activity from all major stations on the ship. The two split up and while in the turbo lift Gyles breaks down out of fear. While Resser is on the bridge, Captain Meyer asks where Devan is and explains that he chose to stay behind to try and get more knowledge from the female changeling. A flashback reveals that Ghall explained how Devan helped Arais and Yerann escape by transmitting their location, she also reveals through interrogation of other counterparts that all members of the renegades have a small device implanted in their skulls and has found away to detect them, she scans Devan and reveals that he has such a device. Back on the Supremacy Gyles uses the same technique as Ghall to detect that Renegades and finds 53 members onboard but no exact location on any of them. Miral then comes in and questions her on what she's looking for and gives a simple vague answer that she is scanning the ship for Commander Resser. Gyles and Resser meet and let's out all of her fear, she insists that they go to Captain Meyer as his counterpart is dead they believe him to be trustworthy. Another flashback reveals that Ghall will help them retake the Supremacy but only after they have exact numbers and locations of Renegades on the ship, they agree and leave Devans counterpart as a prisoner. The two covertly ask Captain Meyer if they can see him in the ready room, once inside they seal the doors and fill him in on their mission. Meyer orders them to go back to the astrometrics lab and wait for further instructions. While on the way there they encounter Zaak who questions them, Resser tries to move along but a red alert is activated and Zaak renders them both unconscious. When they both wake up they are restrained in crew quarters with Zaak who is revealed to be a counterpart with no control over her emotions. Meyer arrives, Resser demands to know what he is doing and reveals himself to be Arais who has assumed Meyers place. Miral returns to astrometrics and accesses past scans where she comes across Gyles scan to find the members of the crew who are actually Renegades. She locates Resser and Gyles and rescues them from Zaak and Arais who is able to escape. The ship returns to red alert and Arais has the crew believe that the three are the renegades. Miral believes that if they can place scanners on every deck they will have the exact location of all the Renegades on the ship. While planting the devices Gyles comes across Mantren who immediately assumes her to be a counterpart. Gyles terrified explains what her device can do and tells him that if he allows her to use it they can prove that they are not counterparts. Mantren agrees and is convinced. Resser gets to a shuttle and transmits the data to Ghall who launches an attack on the Supremacy. Arais was able to evacuate himself before the attack started, Ghall's forces re take the ship and put all the Renegades intimate custody. The remaining crew realise that at least Meyer, Devan and Zaak are being held in the alternate universe to proposes a rescue mission. He asks Ghall to watch the ship while he Mantren, Gyles and Miral are away. She agrees but only on the condition that they go with two of her people. They agree but become immediately shocked when she shows them to be Talvin and Neurall.
