Summary
On the USS Enterprise-J, Captain Barnum Dax is on a comm with the leader of the Bolians, who informs Dax that their planet will be seceding from the Federation and joining the Vulcan Alliance.
After three more worlds leave the Federation for the Vulcans, Admiral Kristen Larkin sends the USS Anomaly to Brialis Seven to convince them to join the Federation. Bain and Commander Prosak beam down to the world for the negotiations only to find the population in a bit of a panic and the Vulcans already there. The Anomaly sees over 100 Brialan ships leaving the planet carrying over 700,000 people.
Bain and Prosak try to convince the Brialan leader, Leton Duran to join the Federation, but she picks the Vulcans instead and drags their representative, Ambassador Sperik off to the planet’s Disaster Situation Room, much to his confusion.
Back on the Anomaly, Bain and Prosak are summoned to the bridge for a red alert. A massive pinkish sphere, three times the size of Brialis Seven is approaching the planet after having swallowed up Brialis Six. Dr. Natalia Kasyov determines that it is a single-celled organism and at its present speed, it will reach Brialis Seven in a little less than 24 hours. Faced with this new threat, the Vulcans leave, and the Brialans comm the Anomaly saying that they’ve reconsidered and decided to join the Federation. Bain agrees to help them and beam up several hundred of their government officials.
Bain meets with his officers to discuss the situation. Kasyov reports that the organism is much like one that James T. Kirk encountered on his USS Enterprise around 250 years earlier. Unfortunately, this organism has adapted and cannot be destroyed the same way as before.
