Story:Starship Archer/No Rest for the Wicked/Prologue

TEASER

FADE IN

EXT-SPACE

Archer approaches Earth Spacedock.

TAYLOR (Voice Over) ''Military Log Combat Date 58345.7. The Archer has returned to Earth where a routine maintenance check of all systems will be made, and certain upgrades and overhauls of major systems that were damaged in battle with the Dominion/Cardassian Alliance in recent weeks.''

Archer glides serenely through the big space doors, into Spacedock.

INT-ARCHER BRIDGE (BLUE ALERT)

Lieutenant Carlson is inputting commands into the helm.

CARLSON (Helm Officer) Thrusters are at station keeping, (beat) and we're on approach for mooring B.

Taylor leans forward as the viewer shows the USS Prometheus.

TAYLOR (Smiles) There's the first ever Prometheus-Class Starship getting refitted and upgraded.

Then they hear a thud.

CARLSON (Helm Officer) And we're locked onto the mooring securing thruster exhaust and shutting down engines.

Taylor gets up from her chair.

TAYLOR (Smiles) Not bad for a beginner well done and well done all.

EXT-INSIDE ESD

The USS Archer is powered down with the mooring on it's port side of the secondary hull.

CUT TO: INT-MAIN ENGINEERING

Lieutenant Clarkson is looking around Engineering when Commander Martin walks into the Engine room.

CLARKSON (Sighs) Ah, Commander thank god you're here.

MARTIN (Surprised) What's up man?

They go over to the opened Relay panel and an Engineer standing there.

CLARKSON (Annoyed) I was just going to work on some duty rosters when this guy decided to pull this relay out for no reason.

Martin folds his arms as he looks at the Engineer.

MARTIN Ensign is this true?

The Engineer is worried.

ENGINEER (Nods) Yes, Commander I have my orders.

He hands him the PADD showing the orders.

MARTIN (Confused) Ensign who gave you these orders?

Then the person walks in.

TYSON (Smiles) As I live and breath it's good old John Martin.

Both Kyle and John turns to see Jason Tyson standing at the doors.

JOHN (Shocked) Ah, Damn it.
