summary: "In the months before the Dominion War, the Defiant is dispatched by Starfleet Operations to investigate
  #gravitational-distortions near Aranis Prime. What begins as a standard recon turns into a mind-bending
  confrontation with temporal echos, identity crises, and threats that may come from the future—or ourselves."
story_hook: "When your own ship appears from a #temporal-anomaly, scarred and transmitting your own command codes...
  will you trust it, fight it, or follow it?"
