Eridi III is left with a forcefield wall, erected by the DFA Engineers, led by Jinx, in order to keep the remaining Zombies at bay in the southern part of the continent. Manned by a contingent of Marines, as long as no Galdalorians head south, the separation should protect the Galdalorian population in the north. A monitoring satellite is set up in orbit to watch for unintended landings on the southern continent. If the landing party is inoculated against Mintakan flu, it will provide immunity from the infectious prions carried by the zombies. It does not protect against the physically destructive zombies, always on the prowl for prey to eat.
Major Reynolds and Commander MarQ are placed into isolation, given the attack on them by Zombies, in the process of acquiring a Zombie test subject for Dr Shran. That left Lieutenant Adams, Red S'Hirt and Marines to defend the wall while medical worked out the details.
Dr's Shran, Krieg, EMH1 and a new Kzinti Doctor worked with Dr Argo of the Galdalorians, to figure out how the Zombie infection worked, how it was transmitted, and why Cromwell crew did not get infected but Galdalorians invariably transformed.
Meanwhile Engineering had their own Puzzle to solve about continued malfunctions and they are closing in on that solution too...
Cromwell's malfunctions are nearly solved. T'Thel, Jinx, DW 179 are working to identify the power source, the vectors and timing of the effects of the malfunctions that have been plaguing Cromwell for the last four months...Only two pieces of the puzzle remain...Who did this, and where is the machinery to accomplish this? To add insult to injury, It is looking more and more like the Galdalorians are the source, and this after the DFA rescue of 2/3 of the planets population from Galdalorian zombies..
Cromwell sets sail for new horizons. She is to meet Borderlands RSE S'Task for escort to the heart of the Romulan Empire. What will this encounter lead to? Stay tuned for the S'Task and Cromwell Crossover!
