Once finished assisting Caldos, the USS Aquarius leaves and begins their journey towards the old Romulan Neutral Zone when long-range sensors detect something strange within the Neutral Zone near the Romulan Star Empire. The Aquarius changes course to investigate, though when they arrive they discover something unusual. There is some sort of gravitational anomaly which seems to have a Romulan Valdore-class ship trapped unable to free itself. They are hesitant about accepting help from the Aquarius, though seeing no one else has answered their distress call they eventually allow them to assist.
