Starfleet Intelligence had been studying the operations of the Undine group encountered on the AFS New Dawn. The Undine that had been taken prisoner were questioned, and based on the information that was gained there, more research had been done. It turned out more people were taken than just five senior officers on the New Dawn, and Starfleet Intelligence found where they were being kept.

Starbase 777 was asked to put together a team to enter fluidic space to investigate Terrasphere 23, the base of operations for this Undine group, and bring the taken prisoners back home. On the Eventide, a group of volunteers assembled, where they were given the briefing. The group was divided into three separate away teams; they were to enter the Terrasphere, then to disable generators and rescue the prisoners.

The three teams were beamed down to different areas of the Terrasphere to search for the consoles through which the first set of generators could be shut down. They succeeded with varying degrees of inconspicuousness, after which they headed to the central structure to free the prisoners.

After fighting Undine who were protecting the prisoners, every team succeeded in freeing the prisoners from cryo-stasis-sensory deprivation chambers, which left them with various affected mental states. Then, a message came from the ship that in the centre there should be more consoles to shut down generators with, which would disable the shields of the Terrasphere and allow the teams to be beamed out.

In the centre of the facility, the teams were able to meet again and get started on taking the generators down. However, soon Undine started arriving in waves to try to stop this from happening. After a lengthy battle that caused many casualties on both sides, finally the remaining Undine surrendered, handing over the diplomat prisoners they took, and allowing the teams to beam out.
