With the head security of the RRW Kinaen present, the coordinates that he intercepted from Tal Shiar transmissions were visualized by putting them on a map and comparing said points with available data. Upon seeing that these were most likely Romulan and Reman colonies, an unsettling theory was born - namely, that these colonies were all attacked by the Tal Shiar. To confirm that, multiple away teams were deployed and sent to the nearest locations.

One of such away teams boarded USS Eventide and went to a planet called Ishai V. After discovering the possible location of the colony, the away team was transported to a clearing in the forest on the planet’s surface, where they would soon find signs of humanoid activity, namely in the form of cut down trees, which then lead them to a path to the colony itself.

Unfortunately, no survivors were found - the beginnings of the city that the away team went through was abandoned and left to rot, disruptor and plasma cannon marks on the walls and the ground a clear sign of a battle. Besides finding multiple belongings and possible surviving data, as well as collecting water and soil samples, the away team also discovered skeletal remains of a Tal Shiar agent - a grim confirmation of the prevailing theory of an attack. The body was later buried.

By the river, multiple signal boxes were found, pointing at the satellite above the colony.  Upon receiving an error after trying to send a signal, the away team left for Eventide. The remains of the satellite were approached by Eventide in hopes of gathering more data. However, the hole blown through the satellite’s bus, prevented them from doing so.
