### Season 1

Beauchamp says that he can run diagnostics to discover what was happening with the dark matter, while Sasha listens. Niko mentions that his excitement and enthusiasm is nice. She tells Sasha that they were getting up to speed on what would happen when they reached Canis Majoris. Sasha asks what could happen upon entering contact with dark matter, but Niko says that she does not like what she is not able to see. Beauchamp says that the dark matter could be a smokescreen and Sasha is worried, but Niko tells them to stick to protocol.

Cas is approached by Beauchamp, who says that Michelle, Petra, and Ian's stuff should be distributed between the crew, but Cas does not agree. Cas congratulates him on his marriage and leaves.

Five hours earlier, William tells everybody that they would enter the field of dark matter in 25 seconds. Zayn approaches Javier, who says that he is jumpy because he has been working too hard. Niko flies them through the dark matter, which Beauchamp finds wonderful. As they enter the dark matter, the ship begins to make noises, but nothing too worrying. Beauchamp is left in charge of leading them on their way and keeping guard.

William tells Niko that Beauchamp is fine and she tells them that everybody hanging out was fun, also asking if everybody was hooking up. William says that he has seen flirtations between Bernie and Zayn, August and Oliver, which Niko says is a good thing because they could blow off steam that way. William asks if they are gossiping, and Niko says they are not sarcastically, calling him Erik before going to bed.

On the Salvare, Cas tells Niko that she wants to talk, asking why she had gone behind her back and woken up Beauchamp. Niko tells her that Beauchamp was the next person on the list, but Cas is convinced that it was in order to hurt her. Javier asks them if they had seen August and Oliver and he goes. Cas says that she knows Beauchamp was probably a better second-in-command, but wants her job. Niko tells her that she had done it for her and knew that she would be okay.

Oliver and August call for Niko while having their shirts put on sloppily, but Javier simply goes to punch Oliver. He is stopped by Cas and both August and Oliver tell them about the lasers they saw shooting past the ship. Niko runs to the airlock and sees Erik outside, so she asks for a flight suit since Erik could not breathe and was dying. William tells Niko that Erik is not outside and she starts crying, but William makes her realize that it was a hallucination. William tells them to think reason and not with their emotions. They were being caused by endorphin levels being spiked, so Niko tells Beauchamp that everybody is high.

Beauchamp asks Sasha if he thought what he had put into the salad was oregano, and Sasha simply says that he had raided Bernie's stash. Bernie says that he has that plant because he needs help sleeping, so he self-medicates. August complains that now he had self-medicated everybody, so Niko tells him to use his head. Niko says that they should use different things to try to flush the drugs out, but William advises against it. Oliver says that both him and August could not have hallucinated the same thing, but Beauchamp tells him that what they saw were electrically charged, cold hydrogen particles.

Sasha says that he will be in his room sleeping off the drugs, but Beauchamp is placed in charge because he is the only one sober, but he leaves. William projects a party for the crew and Niko says that the drugs amplify her emotions and feelings which were currently happy and fun. She asks William if he can dance and he says he can do any dance she could possibly want. He starts dancing, which surprises Niko as Sasha watches seriously.

Cas walks into the deck where Beauchamp is and says that the afterparty is lame. She starts dancing with him and tells him that she wants her job back, saying that she was going through a phase due to grief and wants to do her job. She calls William and asks him to play some music, but he does not respond.

Niko awakes and William tells her to go back to sleep because she had only slept for 20 minutes. She says that she is now sober and wants to check on Beauchamp, asking him to change back into William. Niko says that she is embarrassed because he is kind and pure, and she had taken advantage of that. William tells her that he loves her, but she says that he does not and tells him that she needs him to forget what had happened, deleting it from his memory since it would be best.

As August and Oliver walk, they are separated by a door closing, which Oliver is not able to open. Niko runs through the hallway and is also denied access to the observation deck as Sasha drills into Beauchamp's eyes.

Niko tells Sasha to get his hands off Beauchamp as the latter screams while getting his eyes drilled into. Cas grabs Sasha from behind and starts choking him, opening the door for Niko, who grabs Beauchamp's body. Sasha locks Niko out of the control room, and Niko apologizes for having treated him poorly, so Sasha asks if William also deserved better.

Beauchamp wakes up to see Cas and says that Sasha was looking for weaknesses in his defenses in his brain. They decide to look for Niko to see how they could get him off the ship.

The FTL engines are engaged and they head deeper into dark matter. August says that the files shown were not originated from anywhere in the ship's systems, which Sasha was able to do because of the symbiotic relationship between the alien in his brain and him. Beauchamp realizes they were headed for a black hole, so Niko tells them that they were going to abandon ship and head straight for Pi Canis Majoris.

Cas moves the small shuttle, which surprises the crew since Niko was not there. They head straight towards Pi Canis Majoris. Beauchamp says that they could not pull away from the black hole, but Cas tells her to shut up. Cas does not listen, but August tells them to look at how the stars were warping and the Salvare shows up again. Niko tells them to come back since she was with William again, having connected Sasha's brain to the energy source.

Beauchamp, William and Zayn view the cybernetic object that was in Sasha's head. William tells them that the fusion reactor inside the small object was powerful, with the Salvare's reactor being the size of a baby elephant. William says that they did not know much about the alien's technology, but Zayn wonders if the object could bring Javier back if William was able to remove the bad parts. William tries to hack into the object, which he says tired him and they release the object, which goes into Javier's head.

Niko tells Beauchamp that they have over 300 allies and while Beauchamp agrees that they should take the fight to their planet, but Niko says that it would take them a long time to reach Achaia and they had no idea what to expect. Niko tells Cas that they need to go home and regroup, but they needed to get rid of the Artifact before it destroyed the Zakir completely.

Beauchamp tells William to launch the FTL drive, which he does. They turn around and head back to Zakir, which they shoot with an energy beam which shoots the Artifact. Niko comforts the Zakir alien and tells it it was over.

Beauchamp tells Cas what William had done with the object inside Sasha's head and reveals that Sasha was dead.

Niko tells William that there was a proximity alert and William tells them that five objects were coming their way, directing them to a collision course. Beauchamp asks for a signal, but William tells them there is not one. Suddenly, the Salvare is passed by five ships identical to the one that had left the Artifact on Earth. Niko asks for eyes on Zakir and they see the Achaians shoot the planet. Niko is left in shock as the planetary debris heads towards them, and they flee.

### Season 2

Harper tells everybody that the Achaia want to be Earth's friends while Niko and the Salvare view Zakir being destroyed. The debris from the planet starts hitting them, as their energy shield gives them some protection. However, Beauchamp is hit by debris which enters the Salvare. William tells Niko that their hull had been compromised and they could not jump, so they brace for the main blast.

William stabilizes the Salvare as Niko sees Beauchamp crushed. Niko tells them that they are stable, but they lost Beauchamp. Cas cannot believe it, but Niko tells them they need to put their heads together and think of what to do next.
