A few days after the conclusion of the battle, Asteria has more or less returned to normal and has a new Chief Engineer as the old was killed in the attack. The vacant XO position is still processing.
Suddenly, systems all over the station start going offline and eventually power and life support to every deck except engineering go offline one after the other. Including life support.
Williams takes a shuttle out to investigate the exterior of Asteria and finds no damage, nor any other ships that could be causing the power drain aboard Asteria.
Meanwhile, on what is not proving to be his best day; the new CO, Bowie, discovers that the power drain is coming from the central core. Appearing to come from the offline LAIS. Blake knows what this means the 3 venture into the Shedai Chamber.
Angry Lightbulbs
The Shedai reveals itself as the Shedai Scientia. The Shedai of knowledge. It has decided it stands a better chance of surviving with the crew rather than without them. It improves the Asteria weapons systems to prepare for the inevitable return of Echo Fleet.
The Shedai is on their side and Project Asteria is it's station now...
