Onboard the Taelon Mothership, Ronald Sandoval (Von Flores) has his cyber viral implant (CVI) surgically removed after his body exhibits symptoms of rejecting it. Zo'or (Anita La Selva) points out that the loss of his CVI will also mean the loss of his skrill. After undergoing the removal procedure, Sandoval receives a pouch from the Washington embassy containing a video message from Mark Rusk (Wayne Best), who is holding Sandoval's wife, Dee Dee (Shary-Lee Gutherie), hostage-the wife Sandoval had believed to have been killed two years earlier. The kidnapper asks for a seemingly unattainable ransom-the protocols for deep Taelon stasis, to which only members of the Taelon Synod have access.

Liam Kincaid (Robert Leeshock) is visited by intelligence agent Heather North (Larissa Laskin), who tells him that she has managed to infiltrate a secret government base containing three astronauts from the future, all of whom have been in stasis for over 30 years. Liam immediately recognizes the importance of her discovery, as the astronauts would be able to tell what the future holds for the Taelons and humans. Accompanied by Renee Palmer (Jayne Heitmeyer), they travel to Cocoa Beach, Florida, to consult Kyle Madrid (Don Francks), Heather's uncle and the last man in charge of NASA's defunct space shuttle program. He confirms his niece's story, alerting them to a government conspiracy that has withheld information about past extraterrestrial encounters and other happenings in space.

Liam and Renee sneak into the base where Heather had been. Searching through the lab where the astronauts had been kept, Renee finds a computer log for something called "Phoebus." They return to the Resistance lair, where Renee learns that "Phoebus" is a Greek word for "Apollo." She deduces it must have been the name of a space program. At that moment, they receive a video message from Kyle, asking them to return to Florida at once, as he has vital information for them.

Before Liam and Renee arrive, Kyle is attacked by Rusk who employs a mind-reading device to find out what Kyle knows about Phoebus. Rusk flees when Liam and Renee appear. They are too late to save Kyle, who succumbs to the effects of the mind device, and dies.

Using the computers in the lair, Liam and Renee learn of an Apollo 20 mission in 1978 that was launched to rescue the Phoebus II, a spacecraft launched in 2091. The ship had apparently been lost in a wormhole and resurfaced in a lunar orbit after traveling back in time. More eager than ever to speak with the crew, particularly the ship's captain, Trammel, Liam and Renee decide they must first acquire the Taelon stasis protocol so they can revive the Phoebus astronauts. Liam sneaks into the stasis control module on the Mothership. As he is stealing the protocol, he is interrupted by Sandoval, whom he is able to incapacitate with a stun charge. Liam returns to the lair with the protocol and the unconscious Sandoval.

Liam and Renee examine Sandoval and discover he still has his CVI! They download some of his memories and learn about the kidnapping. After planting the protocol and a monitoring device on Sandoval, they leave him on a park bench, where he slowly regains consciousness. Sandoval immediately contacts the kidnapper and sets out to be reunited with his wife, who's being held captive in the tower of a convent.

Upon arriving at the convent, Sandoval realizes his wife is not only working with Rusk, but has fallen in love with him. He is locked in the tower but is able to use his skrill to blast his way through the door. He finds Dee Dee and Rusk in another part of the convent, where they are using the Taelon protocol to "awaken" the astronauts, only one of which-Trammel (Paul Boretski)-is weak, but responsive. A fight breaks out, with Sandoval being stunned just as Liam and Renee arrive. Dee Dee and Rusk flee. Liam and Renee quickly examine Trammel, who tells them in the future the Taelons will "get what they deserve from the others." He dies before he can elaborate.
