The crew of the Athena had just ejected the infectious Icrion probe into space and managed to eradicate the computer virus from the Athena itself. Shortly after, Redlen triggers the explosives he planted on the probe after the Athena reaches a safe distance, destroying any remaining data on the probe.
After restoring several critical systems, Por notices an approaching vessel on comms. The vessel is from the Eclipse Foundation, which is the primary corp for adapting and importing Icrion tech. They detected the Athena intercept the probe and the probes subsequent destruction. They claim rights to all Icrion data and demand to board to preform and “audit”. Tali refuses and the Athena quickly escapes.
Shortly after they arrive at the nearby space station. They make contact with Victor and agree to hand over a copy of the Icrion data to him, but they have to meet him near the warp point since he had already departed the station. The Athena leaves to meet Victor, but is intercepted by 2 Eclipse Foundation ships. The Athena manages to lose one pursuer, but is temporarily disabled by the second.
A group of Eclipse Foundation soldiers board, but underestimate the strength of the resistance and are quickly killed or driven off. Victor and some Lazlo Corp ships arrive and drive off the last Eclipse Foundation ship.
