Story:Star Trek: Archer (22nd century)/The Slaughter of Altair IV/Teaser

Prologue

Ext. Space (Earth Orbit)

In drydock a new Columbia-class starship sits in the berth as a inspection pod flies by the ship.

Int. Inspection Pod A

Ltcmdr. Williams: It took five days and 12 months for us to refit the Archer with this new secondary hull and we've added new phase cannon ports and a squadron of fighters in the lower launch bay of the secondary hull and a complement of 14 photonic torpedoes along with 10 nukes, and the new plasma Injectors have allowed up to finally reach warp 5 and hold a speed of warp 6.3 for a total of 8 hours but it will be a bumpy trip to get up there though.

Capt. Taylor: I'm impressed by the work you and your team have done Commander and I was wondering when can we test out our new injectors again?

Ltcmdr. Williams: Inside of a week we can test them I wanna make sure that the injectors are gonna hold when we reach warp 6.3.

Ens. Sutherland (OC): Archer to Captain Taylor.

Capt. Taylor: Taylor here go ahead.

Ens. Sutherland (OC): Ma'am we're receiving a transmission from Starfleet Command its Admiral Gardner he's requesting your present at Starfleet Headquarters.

Cut To:

Int. Briefing Room (Starfleet Command)

Captain Taylor, Captain Erika Hernandez, Captain Carlos Ramirez, Captain Mitchell, Captain Shea were sitting at the table when Admiral Gardner and Commodore Archer as well the Vulcan Foreign Minister Soval walked into the room.

Adm. Gardner: I've called you all here due to the fact that the Romulans have attacked another one of our Outposts along their border, but this time its different from how you encountered it Captain Mitchell they left the Outpost intacted all they did was take data on our fleet deployments and base positions in the region.

Commodore Archer: After our success at retaking Berengaria the Romulans are regrouping to attempt another assault on Altar IV, We plan to stop them. Captain Shea you'll lead the fleet compraised of Human, Andorian, and Telleriate ships you'll head them off here at Altar II and keep them from getting deeper into the system.

Capt. Taylor: What about the Vulcans?

Ambassador Soval: My people have withdrawn from the war efforts we're just here to provide non-military aid.

Capt. Taylor: So it's just Humans, Andorians, and Telleriates out there risking our lives while the High Command or what's left of it just sits back and only lifts a finger to only provide help with the wounded and not help fight a ruthless enemy.

Commodore Archer: Captain.

Capt. Taylor: Commodore Archer was right we got more help out of the Imperial Guard more then we got out of the High Command.

Commodore Archer: CAPTAIN! meeting concluded.

Int. Commodore Archer's office

Capt. Taylor: How can you be taking his side?

Commodore Archer: I am not taking anyone's side. You were out of line.

Capt. Taylor: They don't lift a finger to help us when you left for the Expanse and now we're at war with the Romulans and they back out of defending Coalition worlds that are under heavy assault, and we're gonna lose this war.

Commodore Archer: I understand how you feel Captain, but we're launching the Archer to be apart of the fleet.

Capt. Taylor: Aye, Sir.
