Act One/Tactical Meeting

ACT ONE

FADE IN

INT-STARBASE BAR

(Notes: Opening Credits falling over opening scenes.)

JOHN (Surprised): Kyle?

Kyle over to the bar and sat next to John.

KYLE: So what does the famous First Officer of the Archer want?

Kyle drinks his ale.

JOHN (Smiles): Repairs, dropping off wounded, and shore leave.

KYLE (Smirks): Too bad my career is ruined.

Kyle finished his ale and leaves.

JOHN: KYLE!

John follows him out of the bar.

KYLE (Frustrated): You don't get it do you John, my career is ruined in Starfleet my best friend didn't have my back when I needed him the most now if you'll excuse me I've got to do on the Jamestown.

He leaves as John stands there disappointed.

CUT TO:

EXT-SPACE

The Archer is docked at the Starbase with worker bees swarming around the ship.

INT-CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM

Captain Taylor is looking at the tactical map.

CAPT. TAYLOR: Computer display grid 848.

Tactical screen changes to the grid Taylor is looking at the screen when the doors chimed.

CAPT. TAYLOR: Come.

The doors open and Commander Martin walks in.

CMDR. MARTIN: (re: PADD) A repair update from Commander Williams.

Taylor stares at the tactical map.

CMDR. MARTIN: Marcia?

CAPT. TAYLOR: Oh sorry John I was just looking at the latest tactical update from Command.

She goes to her desk and sits in the chair behind it and looks at the repair update.

CAPT. TAYLOR (Sighs): A few more days in Spacedock?
