Lt. Commanders Tom Paris and B'Elanna Torres walked out of the turbolift and onto the main Bridge of Voyager and moved to the three command chairs.
"Where's Captain Eden?" Tom asked as they both sat down.
"Onboard the Quirinal, she said to proceed without her." Chakotay said.
Tom activated his consol. "What do we have on the distress signal?" Tom asked.
"Not much. Harry, anything new?" Chakotay asked his tactical officer.
"The signal's very weak." Harry paused. "Larsen, check the transmission source." Harry said.
"Confirmed." Larsen said.
"Captain, the distress call signal is Federation." Harry said.
"Federation?" Chakotay asked.
"Yes sir, but I can't determine what ship." Harry said.

Two hours later, Voyager and the other two ships arrived and on the main viewer of Voyager showed a Starfleet vessel.
"Does anyone recognise it?" B'Elanna asked. From the command chair to Chakotay's right.
"I do." Tom said. "It's a Luna class. Larsen magnify the identification."
The image of the drifting Luna's image zoomed into the ship and showed the ships registry.
USS TITAN NCC-80102
Tom's head spun to Chakotay. "That's Tuvok's ship." Tom said.
Chakotay, Tom and B'Elanna got out of their seats. Chakotay walked over to the railing in front of Harry's station.
"Life signs." He said.
"I'm unable to get a clear reading." Harry reported.
Chakotay turned to his XO. "Tom, take an away team over."
"Aye Captain. Harry, B'Elanna. Paris to Sharak, Conlon and Seven. Report to transporter room two. Paris to Galen. Have The Doctor beam to our transport coordinates on Titan." Tom said into the com.
"Copy that." Said Commander Clarissa Glenn; the CO of the Galen.

On the dark battle ridden Bridge of the Titan. Seven people materialized through the blue glow of the transporter beam.
Tom surveyed the room. "B'Elanna, Conlon. Check the power systems."
Tom moved to the command chairs and saw a form slumped in front of the Captains chair.
Tom scanned the form of Captain Riker then gently shook him awake. "Captain Riker. I'm Lt. Commander Tom Paris of the Federation Starship Voyager."
Riker opened his eyes and looked at Paris. Will tried to get up but his limbs would not let him.
"Easy Captain, don't try to move. Doc, get over here."
The Doctor walked over to the command chairs and scanned Will.
"I need to get him to the Galen." The Doctor said.
Tom stood up and sighed. "I need you here I'm afraid."
"I'll take the wounded to the Galen." Doctor Sharak said.
"Fine. We'll use the transporter tags to send wounded to the Galen." Paris said.
After tagging the Bridge crew, the others were trying to get main power online.
As Tom, The Doctor and B'Elanna were trying to get the Jeffries tube open. A faint hum was heard. As they turned around they saw a Titan crewmember standing there.
"My name is Lt. Commander Melora Pazlar." She said.
"Are you hurt?" The Doctor asked. As he scanned her The Doctor frowned. "You're not really here."
"No, this is a holographic avatar. I'm in the stellar cartography bubble at the moment but I can't get out. The doors are sealed." Melora said.
"You're Elaysian." Tom said.
"Yes."
Tom turned to B'Elanna. "Can you get that tube open?"
"Just about got it." The door unlocked. "There."
"Ok, Doc, you're with me, Harry, Conlon, get to Engineering. B'Elanna and Seven, go to stellar cartography. The Doctor and I are headed to Sickbay." Tom said.
=/\=
As Tom and The Doctor approached sickbay they could hear a slight growling. Tom pulled out his phaser and motioned The Doctor to stand back. When Tom turned the corner he was met with a giant dinosaur coming towards him. As Tom raised his phaser the creature stopped. It tilted its head and looked at Tom and then spoke.
"I am Doctor Shenti Yisec Eres Ree. Chief Medical Officer of the Titan."
"Lt. Commander Tom Paris. XO of Voyager, this is The Doctor." Tom said.
"Pleasure." Ree said.
Tom and the Doctor both walked into sickbay to assess the wounded.
"Doc, attach the transport beacons to the patients and the beam to the Galen with Dr. Ree." Tom said passing him the bag of transport beacons. "I'm going to check out Engineering."
As Tom walked to the door Harry's frantic voice came over the com.
"Kim to Paris, Tom we got a problem." Harry said.
"What is it?"
"Like a big pile of lava moving around in Engineering."
Tom turned to Ree and asked. "You have a Horta on board?"
Ree saw the XO's confusion. Horta that were in Starfleet did not serve on ships. They were usually on mining colonies.
Ree tapped his combadge and said "Ree to Chwolkk, the people entering Engineering are from a Federation ship here to render aid. Help them to see if you can get the ship back online."
A reply came through the Universal Translator acknowledging Ree's order.
With that Tom left to help survey.
An hour later and the Titan's crew were beamed to the Galen, Voyager and the Esquiline for medical treatment.
After accessing the logs and crew manifest, they found only one crewmember missing.
Natasha Miana Riker-Troi.
