Prior to Captain Lalor receiving command

The Elysium has been stranded in the Andromeda Galaxy after suffering a crippling attack that forced the ship through space/time leaving her a floating wreck. Six months have passed, and the crew have patched up the ship as best as they can.

As life started to return to normal, the "accidental" death of the Executive Officer and rumours of mutiny have caused the crew to be on edge yet again. Tensions grow aboard the former flagship as a thorough investigations sweep through the crew and their activities in an attempt to identify the ringleaders of the mutiny.

Admiral Sharr had activated the Artificial Intelligence program he and a colleague had been working on for several years, the activation of Alice has unnerved a lot of the crew, unsure on how to act around this new life form. Alice is unique within the concept of AI's, she can think and act for herself and is entirely capable of taking control of her code. Her primary objective is the safety of her home, the Elysium, and that of the one she see's as her maker, Sharr.

Then, Sharr made a bargain to get his crew home. He made a deal that would forever seal his fate within the Andromeda Galaxy. He got the ship repaired; his crew left alive, his nemesis contained and the loss of his freedom.

Out of their original 3260 crew, they had lost 25% of the crew, which had been 815 lives, and left 2445 crew, with the new three additions that had jumped 2448. Bruised and battered, emotionally drained, they survived.

But now, the Elysium returns home, without the Admiral. And the crew, led by Commander Phoenix Lalor, face an uncertain future ahead.
