Deep Space 2 – Admiral Arthur
The station shook violently as a subspace shockwave slammed into it — the same harmonic pulse the Oregon had detected.
Arthur held onto his desk.
The rooms lights flickered.
The same fractal symbols seen by the Oregon appeared on DS2’s main tactical display.
Arthur whispered:
"My god… the rings are waking across the galaxy."
He opened a channel to the Oregon:
“Captain Sato—whatever you do, do not let that next ring activate without understanding it. The Federation knew about this once. And we feared it.”
USS Oregon – Final Scene
Alert klaxons sounded as the Oregon detected a massive subspace displacement.
Lin: “Captain! A third ring is emerging from a subspace fold—far beyond sensor range but broadcasting at full power!”
George Turner: “Its signal is interlacing with ours! They’re forming a network triangle!”
Kaur (weakly): “They’re calling to each other… awakening each other… like neurons firing—”
Sato: “Shut down all subspace transmissions! Cut power to the warp field!”
The lights pulsed.
The ring outside the Oregon glowed brighter.
And then—
A message flashed across every console on the ship:
“CYCLE 3 BEGINS. PREPARE FOR RECORD.”
Lt. Kaur screamed.
The third ring’s signal hit the Oregon like a tidal wave.
Fade to black.
