As the USS Endeavour returns home to Cestus III, Starfleet tasks them with travelling into the contested space between the Klingon and Gorn empires, to try and prevent more conflicts erupting during the two species' Cold War.

Summary

The Endeavour arrives in orbit of Cestus III following the crew's relief at Deep Space 19. With five days layover allowed for a brief shoreleave, the captain has orders to take the ship into the corridor of space between the Klingon and Gorn Empires in order to act as a deterrent to the two races escalating their Cold War with each other into armed conflict.

Beaming down to the planet, Captain Byrne attends the Command Officers Briefing; a weekly briefing with the fleet's senior admirals attended by the captains of all starships currently in the system to discuss current orders, issues and make the captains aware of concerns of and targets set by the fleet commanders. The meeting was also attended by Admiral Roman Sanchez, Captain De'Lauran of the Kanji, the captains of the Jesop, Catalunya, Monitor, Wintersmith and Edelman, a commander from Starfleet Research & Development and an officer from the Judge Advocate General's Office. Admiral Sanchez began the meeting by stating that its contents would be exclusively regarding the developing situation between the Klingons and the Gorn. In the meeting, the Admiral outlined the situation with the two races and what an escalation would mean for the Federation, as well as Starfleet's plan to send the Endeavour, Jesop and Catalunya into the region between the two powers as a deterrent, with the Monitor, Wintersmith, Edelman and Kanji to form a continuous patrol of the Federation border, ready to provide assistance as required.

Following the meeting, Byrne met with his yeoman outside the Command building in order to discuss the situation and the other captains entering the region, and provided her with orders to contact the two captains to establish a rapport before the ships left Federation space.

The Endeavour then welcomed new officers to replace those left behind on Deep Space 19, including a new chief of security, chief medical officer and a new first officer. Ensign Ethan Kessel was promoted to Lieutenant JG and appointed chief engineer in order to fill the space left by commander th'Ralik. The ship then departed with the Jesop and Catalunya towards the Federation border; the Endeavour was to take up a patrol close to the Klingon border, whilst the Jesop and Catalunya were to cover the space between and the space near the Gorn border.

Immediately before departure, Benjamin was given classified information by Starfleet Intelligence relating to a mission that the USS Tomahawk had been covertly carrying out in the region. The specifics of their task was not included in the data, but Benjamin was ordered to ensure their course took them near the ship's last known location in order to investigate the disappearance of the vessel.

Upon arrival at the Tomahawk's last known coordinates, all the crew were able to find was a debris field consisting of materials used in Federation starship construction, and inconclusive readings on the type of weapons used to destroy it. The crew were able to determine the most likely planets that escape pods would have been able to reach had they managed to launch them, and the Endeavour set off on a search and rescue operation. They were able to locate the surviving crew on the surface of an unnamed planet, and Commander Ra-Xialli beamed down with an away team to make contact.

The surviving crew of the Tomahawk were initially reserved towards their visitors, and one of their number, later revealed to be the first officer Commander Nikiri and the sole remaining command officer from the vessel, became their spokesman. He stated that their reaction was due to their surprise at being rescued so early, due to the nature of their mission and Starfleet's desire not to acknowledge its existence, but the commander refused to tell and of the away team what the purpose of their mission was. Commander Ra-Xialli orders the team to begin assessing and providing to the needs of the survivors whilst he reports in to the ship.
