Plot synopsis
In October of 2558, the Template:UNSCship, 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 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.
As weeks go by, the Nereid remains isolated, decades away from any contact with the UNSC. While all personnel onboard initially cooperate to keep oxygen and water filtration systems operating, Tanris and her troops soon become restless and decide to take matters into their own hands. Taking every bit of the ship's spare cabling, Tanris and Chan tell Coffey their makeshift plan to jumpstart Nereid's slipspace drive by linking it to their cache of nuclear-powered Hornet mines as a sort of radioisotope thermoelectric generator. Although the engineering crew protest the crude idea, Coffey relents and allows Tanris and Kalanga's construction crew to carry out the attempt. Days later, the plan to active the slipspace drive fails and tempers immediately flare between the ship's officers and the marines. After Coffey intervenes and calms the situation, Tanris and Chan debate taking full charge of command if things aboard the ship worsen.
