The truck transporting the antimatter is stopped and they transfer it to containment device for safe keeping and replace it with an explosive device that is set to explode and cover up the theft. The mission was suppose to be a simple hand off, to another team of travelers, however the contact dies just after the mind transfer. This delays the transfer and they need to extend the time they can hold the container before it goes critical.
