What was meant to be a routine survey simulation on an abandoned planet has turned deadly: An unknown life-form’s hunting them, they’re trapped in a mysterious force field preventing them from beaming out, and to make matters worse, the cadets have completely lost their ability to speak to one another…not that they were doing great at working together beforehand.
Luckily, Genesis has a plan to get them out. Only no one is listening to her. And if the cadets all don’t grow into their Starfleet shoes fast, their first mission will become their last.
