[Robert "Bobby" Oxford Jr]

Ep 19 and 20

On Earth: Doctor Ajay Martin and Grant Fulcur team up on the home front to stop the budget issues from getting out of hand. The two former members of Delta and Vedic Expeditions respectively face off Elliot Cowden to stop the closing of the Vedas Project. Doing what is right to what should be done clash. Will the good Doctor and the undercover CIA member win this battle, and perhaps the war to save the project

Ep 19 ONLY:
SV-1: The team arrives on a world with no information linked with its address in the Vedas database. Theria is an advanced place, equivalent to late 20th century Earth, somewhat behind the technology the expedition knows but more than advanced enough to be worth an effort.

One small problem. Any knowledge the Therians ever had of the greater galaxy has been long lost, and they consider the very idea of any sort of extra-Therian life to be insane. Thinking they're being led to meet Therian authority figures, SV-1 are locked up in a government mental institution as armed and dangerously insane patients.

No medical exam shows they're anything different than the Therians, and the Therian psychiatrists aren't about to let these insane people out to go to some useless ruins they insist contain a device to travel to other planets.

SV-2: Admiral Oxford assigns the member of SV-2 to follow the leads he had received from their allies in regards to their missing member Doctor Henry Pratt, whose absences had left the history department short on men. Will Harris and Witwer be fruitful with this lead or will it be a dead end like the many leads before the duo had followed in the past?

SV-3: Vedas's intel said Athenda was a planet with a peaceful and democratic government who would be interested in trade, an advanced civilization roughly equivalent in their technology to late twentieth century Earth. But the intel was years out of date, and so very, very wrong.

SV-3 gates to Athenda, expecting a friendly people and finding instead a xenophobic and dictatorial regime that overthrew the democratic government decades ago and now rules with the proverbial iron fist. Almost immediately encountering superior numbers and firepower in Athendan Gate Ops and unable to reach the locked-away DHD, Colonel Hamrick is forced to surrender himself and his team.

Their captors want everything and SV-3 is determined to give them nothing. Colonel Hamrick's only ace in the hole is a duress IDC to warn Vedas that they've been captured, but giving it too easily will tip the Athendans off about the trick.
