The Bermuda Triangle Effect

"The Bermuda Triangle Effect" was the thirteenth episode of Star Trek: Phoenix-X, and was actually three episodes in one.

The Bermuda Triangle Effect

The USS Phoenix-X enters a Transwarp conduit that goes through an ion storm, which causes the ship to stop in mid Conduit. The only way to survive is through the help of the Carthaginians and a new shield technology.

Retrieval

The Captain is given a strange jar that contains a Changeling, going by the name Shane. Shane begins to reiterate that he grew up on the Klingon vessel, the IKS Hou-Ling, most of his sentient life. Daniel allows Shane to have free-roam throughout the ship until Shane's step-father Captain Sergio approaches in the Klingon starship IKS Lou-Tzu. Shane refuses to go back, when all of a sudden, a large and strange Changeling from space breaks its way onto the Phoenix-X.
