Four years after "The Best Times We Never Had," the U.S.S. Aerostar under Captain David Conway, on a routine investigation of the Bermuda Expanse, is lost. Fresh from a refit, it's up to the Explorer, Captain Baxter, and crew, to find her and bring her back. Both crews will have to work together to free themselves from another (inevitable) visit to the Delta Quadrant, and from the maniacal Overlord Ardek and his Leadership Spa and Funtimes Resort. The ensuing battle royale takes the crew from one side of the galaxy to the other, and leads them to a final confrontation near the end of the 24th century.
