Looming with the threat of invasion and stranded with no way to escape, the crew of the USS Morro Bay has exactly eight hours until help can arrive. Until then; it’s lights out. They know their ship better than the Vaadwaur do. For some reason, they won’t destroy the ship and move on, either.

Something is on the Morro Bay they want, and Captain Jetta Dowe will be damned if they can have it.
