In October of [[2558]], the {{UNSCShip|Nereid}}, a mixed cargo hauler ferrying a platoon of marines and a group of construction workers, is abruptly dropped out of slipstream space when its systems are impeded in the wake of the [[Created]]'s [[Created conflict|galactic subjugation]]. Stuck onboard the ship in zero gravity, Lieutenant Commander and engineer [[Elaine Coffey]], Lieutenant [[Rasul]], and Major [[Kell Tanris]] try to make sense of the perceived cyber attack and attempt to contact the vessel's commanding officer, [[Yance]]. Worried that potential hostile forces could board the ship to acquire their nuclear ordnance, Tanris arms herself and asks Coffey to lead them to the Commander's location. Arriving at the Commander's private quarters, Coffey and the troops discover Commander Yance had drowned bathing in his jet shower while the water was unable to drain in the zero-g environment. Assuming the chain of command, Coffey advises everyone to work together with Rasul and [[Kalanga]]'s construction crew to help power any vital systems while they attempt to hold out being stranded adrift in space. Although Major Tanris and Sergeant [[Chan]] dislike the idea of waiting out and would instead prefer to plan defensive measures for their cargo, they put aside their reservations and cooperate with Coffey's orders. | In October of [[2558]], the {{UNSCShip|Nereid}}, a mixed cargo hauler ferrying a platoon of marines and a group of construction workers, is abruptly dropped out of slipstream space when its systems are impeded in the wake of the [[Created]]'s [[Created conflict|galactic subjugation]].

Several days later, while Coffey drinks [[List of food and drinks|liquor]] and observes the operation underway, Tanris confronts her at gun point and threatens her with a [[court-martial]] for misleading everyone. After having spent a few days analyzing the Hyperion yields against the ship's shields, Tanris discovered Coffey's plan would actually destroy the ship and kill everyone on board. Coffey then reveals that she knew Tanris' idea wouldn't work, but saw the opportunity to give both their crews a goal to strive for, instead of having them suffer and die fighting for dwindling ship resources. Tanris comes to the realization that ''Nereid'''s crew is better off dying with undefeated hope than to keep fighting for a lost cause. Stowing away her side arm, Tanris joins Coffey in drinking and discussing the need for hope, even false hope, in times of war. Both women drink to hope as they await the ship's inevitable self-destruction. | Several days later, while Coffey drinks [[List of food and drinks|liquor]] and observes the operation underway, Tanris confronts her at gun point and threatens her with a [[court-martial]] for misleading everyone.
